SEGA Plans Reboot for Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio

Are you ready to relive the memories of two of SEGA's most iconic games from the 2000s? SEGA Sammy Holdings is reportedly working on a reboot for Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.

These days, there are many games that gamers are eagerly waiting for. Unfortunately, developers often prioritize their currently active franchises, such as SEGA's Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis.

Games like Shutokou Battle, Auto Modellista, and Project Gotham Racing have seemingly disappeared. Despite their relatively low popularity at launch, gamers have started to rediscover these games through YouTube and are now hoping for a remake.

SEGA is reportedly developing reboots for two of its classic Dreamcast games. SEGA Sammy Holdings has revealed some information about these games, which are expected to be reboots.

With a significant budget, SEGA aims to ensure that gamers can experience nostalgia in a modern way. To start this reboot process, they have chosen two popular games from their time: Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.

Older gamers will certainly recognize these two games. Crazy Taxi is a racing game where players take on the role of a taxi driver who must transport passengers through unconventional routes.

Meanwhile, Jet Set Radio can be considered a street war game. Players are tasked with completing various missions, such as spraying graffiti, defeating rival gangs, or evading the police.

As we know, SEGA has invested a large amount of money in their super game project. It was previously reported that this project would develop several titles with quality exceeding that of AAA games.

SEGA Sammy Holdings has also announced that the reboots for Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi were created to achieve worldwide popularity, similar to Fortnite.

While this sounds promising, the same report also mentions that these reboots will feature more aggressive monetization systems. This decision is believed to be a result of the relatively low financial success of PSO2NGS.
