Messing with the slop machine, automatic disinterest.

I loved Crazy Taxi so I'm excited to see what this one is all about and if it can live up to the hype.

That “Ya ya ya ya ya” hit me so hard and took me back 25 years in an instant.

Sad to see that they are using AI though. Probably not so bad if it is used only for mundane development tasks rather than creative ones, but it's going to be more common unfortunately.

I really hope it turns out good. The Dreamcast game was one of my favorites back in the day.

Same. And if enough people feel the same way we do and they decide not to buy the game, Sega will go, "Welp, I guess this means people didn't want a new Crazy Taxi after all. Let's never make another one!" And I'll go, "No, you dumbasses! We wanted a new Crazy Taxi. But not like this, man. Not like this.

The OGs on the Dreamcast are still good, at least. Sad

Basically, especially since they're now doing a different explanation today that makes even less sense. These guys are just trying to move the window and it's slimy as hell

"Hey gamers, Sega here. We didn't need AI to make the first Crazy Taxi 27 years ago, but we're going to use it now. We are openly telling you to pay more for games that we put less work into. This is the future!"

If Generative AI existed like it did today they would absolutely gotten in on the ground floor.

AI or not it looks good. If this is what AI is capable of now then damn, bring it on I guess. Revive all the dead franchises if AI is what gives them to us. How about Evolution next.

"Also, our game clearly just plays less interesting and was just a quick cash grab banking nostalgia! We have "All I Want" playing! That's enough, right?"

Yeah even if we were to forget the AI stuff and their embarrassing degree of flip-flopping and half statements over the last couple days, the game just looks bad. They took the crazy out of Crazy Taxi
