Crazy Taxi: World Tour revealed, trailer uses The Offspring

Peter G33

Good to know I can completely ignore this game.

Slapdash SFW31

"Ai" and "creative" do not belong in the same sentence

That Sea Pilot9

What should be noted is SEGA has AI tools and "enables" their teams to use it. Should we remind them what happens if they get caught?

"bluesky modder aagaming"7

they need to elaborate on what "Assets" means smh

The T.C.3

Yeah aunno this AND denuvo like that's just too much poison.

TopSpin the Fuzzy51

If y'feel like Y'ABSOLUTELY GOTTA have their newest thing, steal it. Pirate it. Get it secondhand. I don't care. Don't give 'em your money

Meegle649

I'm so tired man We legit cannot have shit Everything is tainted, everything is terrible, everything sucks, and there ain't a damn thing we can do about it

Tazo Gumball Chowder6

Yeah I still haven’t forgotten Square’s fucking bullshit decision to support NFTs

I Special Summon "PANDA" in Nap Mode!88

background assets like billboards and stuff? why? that's the best place to put in-jokes, references, easter eggs and shit. that's a great place to be creative. why would you export the silliest, most low-stakes part of the process to the robot brain given the reaction this invariably gets

Rick Desilets | The D-Pad41

Sounds like I'm not going anywhere near this shit then. Fuck that.

Anthony★Deadman29

I was....so excited to finally get a Crazy Taxi game after decades of waiting......fuck it. Fuck my life!

Lozzy26

you know the technology's good when companies only ever vaguepost about it

Ryan16

Same story for every studio that tries to get away with using slop and then gets push back. RIP crazy taxi, games dead to me already. Unfortunate

Digital Gator15

Yeah, still not buying it

MK Zero14

"We used it to support our teams...." Yeah? Well

mdm12

Too bad they can't get AI to buy the damn thing then because their core target audience sure as shit won't.

Lord Headcheez11

Three years of excitement for this, right down the drain. Ugh. At least Spyro 4 seems to be safe for now!

Alex Draws10

Immediate boycott. Fuck off, Sega. You AND your forced use of AI.

Randy van der Vlag9

Ugh… I love Crazy Taxi. It’s the reason I bought a DreanCast. I was so jazzed for this… now… It’s a pass for me.

The Sevateem 🏳️‍⚧️7

I’m guessing every forthcoming Sega game is tainted by this ai mess now. Can’t support them.

The Sevateem 🏳️‍⚧️7

There went my excitement and Sega loyalty. Fthem.

Rev. Ansgar Odinson🦇 ✊🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈7

Then Im not buying it.

Vertegras7

And in the bin it goes. :(

Jon7

Ah well, never mind then. fuck that shit.

Adamalons6

I've been waiting so long for Crazy Taxi.... I guess I can wait a while longer....

jasonr86.bsky.social5

It’s still theft from another artist. How prominent it presents to the player is irrelevant.

Cody Clements5

I'm gonna say, if people are unhappy about the generative AI usage, don't complain into the void. Let Sega know. One voice may not do a lot, but enough will get them to replace those assets.

Sap!4

From a day one purchase to no purchase.

huntinghollers!4

Still pretty vague in their response 😭 but does kinda imply that GenAI was used to create assets, that blows

Tubbles3

Ohh, so they used it for artistic purposes that some suit who never plays video games determined "didn't matter." Hope the game bombs, but I feel bad for the devs who had to do actual work on it.

Medih e x x 🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤3

for the love of good just be creative and throw the ai out, they should know that nobody wants this at this point LMAO. F*ck the investors and shareholders XD

Bryn! 🏳️‍⚧️3

Good news is that I can fire up an emulator and play a version of Crazy Taxi that looks like beautiful human jank. That's what made it a gaming icon (well, that and the Offspring)

Hellrazor Ramon2

Would've loved to play this. Looks fun. Oh well.

Stryc92

Welp. Fuck that game, and fuck SEGA.

PigeonFish2

Was looking forward to the game, but that's gonna be a big fat "NO" from me now.

Tim Kolek2

Was so excited, and the General AI news deflated that real quick.

Socks @ Furality Booth 50578

And now I’ve learned that the offspring has been using genAI in their music videos. So looks like we’ll have to do one better than them too lmao.

Vivian4

this is the best reply to this post so far. Do i get my sona in due to virality.

The Adventures of the Fox in the Fedora2

Not a programmer or anything, but if ya ever get it off the ground, I got a whole bunch'a voice actors (furry and non) that would be so down for a project like this.

Regular Car Reviews2

And the world’s only functioning crazy taxi was built by furries!

Sharkey2

Furry Con 20XX, Neo San Fransisco. You're a Driver with Socks Inc, the hot new ride share service for furries one a desperate schedule and nothing to lose. How many furries can you get to and from dinner before the night market opens up???

jordan 🍖💧4

yeah maybe sega can ask claude to throw them in!

mind grain2

"written by ludwig kietzmann" would cancel out all the red flags around that game
