The ironic thing is that six months ago DC fanboys would flame the hell out of us if we said that this game would be coming to PS2! :D  Oh, how things change!!!

It should have stayed with the DC or Sega themselves should have ported this to the PS2.  Ack-lame couldn\'t code a game if their lives depended on it.  This is just pathetic.  Even the damn windshield isn\'t transparent.

Why are the graphics so fuzzy?

DirectXbox: After seeing these pics, I think the fanboys are laughing even more. And I don\'t really see what is so ironic. \'Splain?

VetteBoy: HA! Nice play on words with Acclaim. :P

Dude, I was just saying that it\'s ironic because no one would have expected this six months ago.  The graphics kinda suck and are jaggy, but that\'s beside the point.  The point is that THE GAME IS ON PS2!!!

That looks terrible. Guess I\'ll just buy it for $19.99 on the Dreamcast if I want to play it again.

Aaron--Check your PM\'s:)

And, CT never floated my boat. God, when will people learn how to take screen grabs for the PS2!

Dreamcast Crazy Taxi 2 will be even crazier than the first one!

Players can have more than one Passenger in the new game! Cool!  :D

A car full of cheerleaders- you can\'t complanine about that.

It\'s going to be Fun to have this game! I can just see me driving them very fast on the hills!!:laughing: I hope the PS2 Crazy Taxi will be just as good as the first one.

that is Crazy Taxi 2 for the DC.  And yes, it does sound (and look) very nice.  Guess it will eventually makes it\'s way to the PS2 as well...erg....

Has everyone gone daft????

C\'mon y\'all should know by now....you know, about the screen captures.

If the game actually looks this bad, I\'ll eat my shorts (hehe...Couldn\'t think of anything else to say;))
Title: First Crazy Taxi PS2 Pics!!!(Narrowband Advisory!!!)
Post by: DirectXbox on April 06, 2001, 07:22:36 AM
Well, Cyg, if you should lose, I suggest you dab some Texas Pete tabasco sauce on them shorts before you eat them.  It helps it go down better (I should know--I once said that "If one DC game looks better than ONE PS2 launch game then I\'ll eat my shorts."  And the time I said, "Gamestock is going to blow everyone away!").  

The indigestion sucks, though. :D
Title: First Crazy Taxi PS2 Pics!!!(Narrowband Advisory!!!)
Post by: Aaron on April 06, 2001, 07:54:11 AM
I don\'t think all of that can be blamed on screen captures. I capture screen with a cheap ass card, and they always look better than that.

Post by: Futami on April 06, 2001, 08:01:57 AM
This looks worse than many PSONE driving games. Ugh. The game wasn\'t hot on the Dreamcast, so why bother porting it to the PS2?
Title: First Crazy Taxi PS2 Pics!!!(Narrowband Advisory!!!)
Post by: nO-One on April 06, 2001, 08:13:49 AM
Yes the DC version crushes this one,but as I\'ve said before,very early in progress.

All in all, I\'ll reserve judgement until we at least get a movie.

P.S. Oops.... Sorry Aaron:( It was Bjorn I PMed Hehe.

I don\'t trust Acclaim either, but 90% of PS2 screenshots always look like **** compared to the actual game. I\'ll wait till I see it running on an actual tv before I compare it to the DC version (which I own).

- what\'s in the f\'cking box?

Post by: Aaron on April 06, 2001, 12:26:05 PM
This is a screen capture I did with a ATI-TV card, one of the cheapest ones on the market. The quality isn\'t the greatest, but I can\'t imagine someone having worse stuff. Especially a professional site.

Crazy Taxi is so overrated. I found the game to be boring after day 2

No, no, no; those are old pics.

If you go to IGN and search for this pics you\'ll find them in "archived media", not in current media. This is how the actual game looks like one month of work later than those previous pics:

As you can see, there\'s an evolution since then..

By the way, Crazy Taxi for PS2 is just a direct port of an old DC game so i never expected that it will look better than actual PS2 games, but it definitely will not look as bad as those screenshots DirectXbox posted above.

Yeah... DirectXbox\'s shots I remember seeing a month and a half ago yet. And even then, CVG said it looked much better than that in motion...

The bottom pics look ten times better...the first ones looked like Driver on PSX or something...just goes to show that things can improve.  Only played this in the arcade, and it was fun; I would like to check this one out.

while i though crazy taxi was fun i just don\'t see a reason to pay 50 bucks for it - if anything i will just rent it but thats about it

the game is fun but it gets old real fast if you ask me

CT is fun for about 5 minutes in the arcade, after that I get bored and move o to TTT or C vs SNK, the home version sux because you dont have the arcade setup + the graphics are less sharp.

I\'m not looking foward to this game, accliam.. give use F355 challange!

Why would this game be released for $50? It\'s old, the DC version is less than $20, the sequel is due out soon. That\'s just bad marketing to sell this at such a high price.
Title: First Crazy Taxi PS2 Pics!!!(Narrowband Advisory!!!)
Post by: kopking on April 10, 2001, 08:34:48 AM
ct sucks in a big way, dunno if it will be like it on the ps2 but the dc has such bad pop up. I cant stress this enough but this game is sooooo bad, i was bored to hell on only my second go. wre we meant to want to buy a game that has a few extras, ohhhhh you can have more than one passenger or cheerleaders in your car, there still going to the same place and plays the same. this is a joke especially if they sell it for full price, if they sell it for £20, i may think about getting it, but only if im drunk and it wasnt for me:D
