Sega is trying to reboot the classic Crazy Taxi, but job postings indicate it's an online multiplayer game.
According to the job description released by the studio, the reboot of Crazy Taxi is a "massive online game" based on Unreal Engine with an "open environment" and a "multiplayer online experience", and the game designer applying for this position must have experience in racing and multiplayer action game development, and be familiar with Unreal Engine.
The game's producer, Kenji Kanno (who is also the original development director), talks to the development team about the reboot's attempt to recreate a metropolis in the western part of the United States, where players can imagine it as a theme park where people compete in an open-ended game world using the taxi business.
Given that Crazy Taxi's gameplay is known for its upbeat and boisterous, it seems appropriate to adapt the game into an online game, with an overhead setting that allows for a variety of playstyles — such as battle royale-style PvP knockouts, where cars can be modified or trimmed, and Krypton has more than five times more kryptonite points than Forza Horizon, which is also an open-ended racing game, which is tied hand and foot by the original car.
In addition, Lao Ma hinted that the old man ring has hope to land on the screen or even the big screen (pictured is the 2022 Game Script Nebula Award).
The author of Ice and Fire, who was involved in the planning of Elden Ring, hinted in a blog post that "you may have heard rumors of a TV series or movie, but I have nothing to say, I don't know a word, I don't know anything, don't try to pry my mouth open, well, what are you all talking about?" ”
Miyazaki had not previously denied that FromSoftware was interested in film and television adaptations, but the matter was beyond the studio's capabilities and needed a strong partner to drive the project forward.
