Title: Crazy Taxi for PS2 is coming this April !!!
Post by: BizioEE on March 20, 2001, 04:38:25 AM
Probably the most anticipated game from the Dreamcast to go to the PS2, Crazy Taxi is coming this April. The game will be published by Acclaim and will be developed by Hit Maker.

The DC version was an exact port from the arcade.  Oh, but they added the crazy box.  

Are there going to be any PS2 exclusive features besides better graphics?

I think it\'s just the same game as it\'s a port and not a new game. IMO it should just stay at Dreamcast, but on the other hand it might get a new audience this way.

Acclaim is not allowed to add more features than the DC version.Except from the graphics I think.

The first time I played Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast, it was insanely fun. After about 5 minutes, it got real old. I can only play that game when I\'m with friends. If I played by myself, I just might have seizures.

I don\'t have a link, but I read multiple news stories on various sites that these were strait ports with no enhancements of any kind. I could be wrong, but with the quality of the latest screens, and the release date, it doesn\'t look like I am...

If Crazy Taxi is due to PS2 in April, and I saw "in progress" screen prints on this forum only a couple weeks ago that truely reeked...I gotta wonder just how good the port is gonna look on PS2.  Hmmm...

On the other hand, let\'s be sure to have some developer do an excellent job porting over Virtual Tennis asap please!!!

Yeah, from the pics that have been shown, Crazy Taxi looks like crap.  I hope the game looks better than what those pics make it look like.

Well pics always make any game look worse than they actually are, i guess we gotta wait and see.

Umm, bumped up to 120fps? The game is already running @ 60fps on the DC. (I\'m talking about CT of course)

Actually, there is a lot of slow down in some parts of the game that really bug. So a little boost in FPS wouldn\'t hurt. This game does get addicting...

Then they\'ll just have to fix the slowdown problem, but they can\'t boost the framerate anymore. Regardless, it runs @ 60 98% of the time. The major slowdown happens more often in the new original city which the PS2 version won\'t have anyway.
