Sonic Adventure & Crazy Taxi XBLA/PSN suck a lot apparently

[fernandeath]

Vacuums suck. Sega Dreamcast games don't!

[MadeManG74]

I get some of you hate the Offspring, lets not argue music taste. I could just as easily insult George's Wolves in the End of the World Viking Lovers Cut Myself and Fall off A cliff (FOr your Heart) and Die In a Hole Because BLEAKness Rules (Where Angels Fear to Tread (With you Babe)) underground rock band stuff and fluffy likes Bentley Jones.

But it's not about what music we like or dislike, it's that I just cannot picture Crazy Taxi without that 'YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH' Blaring out when you press start, or even the bass-line from Americana thumping through the options screen.

Just like Barry and CrackDude said, for better or worse we associate that music with the game, and without it, it's just not the same. Could you imagine if Jet Set Radio didn't have the same music? Even Birthday Cake is iconic of JSRF for me, and I HATE that song.

I'll be willing to use custom tracks to make up for this blunder, BUT if Crazy Box is gone, then I have no idea what Sega is thinking and I hope that the building with all their plans for Dreamcast ports  and all the data goes up in a grease fire inferno (not while anyone is in the building, I don't want to KILL Them, just stop their shitty ports that have no place in this world).

SHUT UP AND EAAAT
TOO BAD NO BON APPETIIIT
SHUT UP AND EAAAT
YOU KNOW MY LOVE IS SWEEEEET!!

I love that song!


What I was thinking is this is some kind of ARCADE port. Arcade machines didn't have Crazy Box. I hope it's DC.

[MadeManG74]

Arcade Port? You may be right, but... Holy shit Sega, how fucking stupid are you guys if this is true. You have a perfectly good Dreamcast game with more features available (and it's probably easier to port) and you go with arcade?

Unless this is some serious bullshit like
Crazy Taxi - 800 Points
Crazy Box DLC - 240 Points

[fluffymoochicken]

fluffy likes Bentley Jones.

Woooow, that's all you can come up with? =P I've listened to a much wider variety of music than any of you guys, I bet.

Normally this would be the time I would say something like "The reason I don't like The Offspring is because I'm not a dumb teenager", but even when I was a dumb teenager, I didn't like them very much. They will not be missed.

[MadeManG74]

All I can come up with? I just said you liked him, and you do don't you? I don't care what music you've listened to, the fact is we all like stuff others will hate.

No need to get offended, I was just saying we all have different taste in music so lets not start arguing it here. We like the soundtrack because it's tied so strongly with the game we love, and losing it in a remake/port is a big deal for us.

Err none of my bands have anything with 'heart' and 'babe' in the name. You are thinking of emo bands. Wolves in the Throne Room is not a emo band.

I'm sorry I don't like Bad Religion and Offspring.

[crackdude]

I like Offspring. When you go to the beach with a bunch of friends all stuck in a minivan with the speakers blastin. That's the shit right there.

[George]

Again, I don't see how not having KFC and Offspring will make the game suck. It supports custom soundtracks (at least on 360).

As long as the gameplay is there, I don't see too much of an issue. If it had Platinum Trophy like Thrine and Wipeout....

I didn't mean to imply they were Emo at all, sorry if you took it that way.

I was just making a joke about the odd names they have, I swear there was something about falling off a cliff in your MSN 'now playing list' a while back.

I didn't realise people get so riled up over music, It was just a joke. I didn't say anything like they were 'shitty' or that they are 'un-listenable' like you and Fluffy said. I'm surprised that you both got so upset over my comments.

Anyway, I'm truly sorry if I offended or upset either of you with my comments, it wasn't my intention. Now lets get back to discussing crazy Taxi.

Will it at least have the 'work for 10 minutes' option, or just the arcade mode I wonder?

[George]

People get shot doing this shit. Watch your shit, cuz I'm gonna pack it up your ass with my dick!

I think the worse news is that Sonic Adventure does not support widescreen. I mean, really?

[MadeManG74]

No Widescreen is just... crap.

Do we know who is porting this yet? It's not BackBone is it?

[fluffymoochicken]

Hey George, I'm still wondering what kind of online gameplay you were expecting with Sonic Adventure.

[George]

Online gameplay? When did I saw I expected it?

Though I guess, if we are on that topic, doesn't DX have a kart racer? Chao garden stats online?

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, the game does not even support widescreen.

[crackdude]

The only thing you could do back in the day was post level time trials on the global leaderboard on DreamArena I think..
