With the announcement of the return of Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Ax and Streets of Rage at The Game Awards 2023, Sega certainly made many gamers happy. At the same time, however, there is a fear of how Japanese society will accept the modern concept of these titles.
Sega promised that the remakes will be harrowing and rebellious. Now comes the company with a short description of each title. It is about outlining a creative vision. The details appeared in a document that Sega presented to its shareholders and investors.
A new chapter Crazy Taxi is described as an innovative and fresh racing game that aims to bring players the joy of open world freedom. In it, nature merged with the urban structure. In the remake Jet Set Radio we are to immerse ourselves in the open-world counterculture of Tokyo Street, experience rebellious gameplay that will make us feel free in a stifling society, make friends with fans and create our own movement.
On the way back Shinobi it will be important to silently kill enemies and run through a world full of monsters and ninja action. “Receive the legendary sword and slay Evil again. Your clan and the entire world are counting on you,” we will read in the description.
IN Golden Axe warriors will rise to subdue the demons. We will defeat the opponents with a wide range of sword and magic attacks. On the contrary, a reboot of the popular beat ’em up event Streets of Rage is supposed to bring a more content-rich experience. In it, we take control of one of the former policemen and join the fight against the gangs that run rampant in the streets of a city shaken by violence.
