The upcoming Crazy Taxi reboot is a triple-A game, according to Sega (www.videogameschronicle.com)

No Sega, a remake of a, admittedly great, nearly 25 year old game is not a triple A game but does make you sound like a quadruple A-hole.

You realize that AAA is used to refer to the budget, scale, and expectations of the game, right? And that it's more of a reboot than a remake, meaning it's probably not going to be an arcade style game. They're talking about their aims for the game, and trying to justify charging $60-70 for it beforehand.

Whatever you need to tell yourself that 'This is fine' is fine by me.

If the leaks are true, well that's going to be a lot of copium being taken.

If Rockstar made a fully-fledged open world Crazy Taxi game with the scale and quality of Red Dead or GTA, that is quite indisputably deserving of the "triple A" label. Putting aside where you draw the line for it to be considered AAA, they clearly mean that their goal is an AAA experience. It's not that deep.

I wouldn't trust those clowns with it anyway, they killed Midnight Club to make a worse version of it in GTA online.

They clearly mean whatever the fuck they want and fuck you pay us $70.
