New Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage games announced

Sega x Google sound like a bad combo and Google has a bad track record when it comes to sticking with something long term
Sega x Amazon is unlikely to happen due to Amazon would rather stick to streaming with Luna than make a console like the Stadia
Sega x Apple could only work if Apple is willing to enter the console market again or even look at the hybrid market
Sega x Facebook/Meta

Better off asking if Samsung is interested on making the hardware for them and hit up NVIDIA too

sega could follow the SNK model and take funding from newer players like the saudis or china, but their holding company sammy would have to be willing to have their percentage diluted. that may be what keeps sega from really making big moves.

That Saudi money long, they will probably all eventually fold

another problem is they have been selling off partial amounts of their business, like most of their arcade division. it remains to be seen what you get when you try to buy "sega".

There could potentially be a future where Saudi’s end up owning a large portion of both sega and nintendo

Sega Confirms New Crazy Taxi Is An Open-World Multiplayer Game

Sega has published a recruitment video showcasing the new Crazy Taxi game, confirming it'll be a multiplayer game with an open world.

This will either be great or complete trash. The idea of making Crazy Taxi online open world isn’t bad but it should have a single player on top of that given the originals arcade roots.

As weird as it may sound, online, offline, while I'm with you on it needing a single player, the main driving force of this game is the soundtrack. The music gotta give it that punch, 'cause I'm of the belief that you can't do much else with the gameplay other than make the handling tight (pause) and make the map you driving like a lunatic interesting.....while the music drives you, literally.
There's a reason alot of the other 'remakes' of the first one failed when they tried to add different music or couldn't get the full loop of now iconic songs to run on it.​

Music is important but Crazy Taxi benefits from. Ring a hand you can pick up and p look at a few minutes. Online can get in the way in of that. What made it so addictive is you were racing the clock.

Also Crazy Taxi players tend to be arcade gamers. They have potential to kill this game already by saying it’s multiplayer only in a series that’s traditionally single player.

Sega with Saudi or China money will bring back fukkery Sega
Sega is at their best when they let their creative juice flow
But with that type of money, we'll see a side we ain't suppose to see

i think some new sega fukkery could produce a few good ideas in the midst of a sea of bad.

Sega ain’t the same company and the people that had Sega fukkery are no longer there

Might be a good thing. Sega couldn’t get right in the mid to late 90s, at all

Superb software, absolutely horrible business

Agreed. Doesn't help Sega owned the arcades and the 90's is when arcades started to die. They lost their bread and butter. Why go to an arcade if my PlayStation can play Tekken 3 or my Saturn can play arcade perfect Virtua Fighter 2?
