The upcoming Crazy Taxi reboot is a triple-A game, according to Sega

The upcoming reboot of Crazy Taxi will be a triple-A game, according to one of the Sega studios working on it.
A new report in the Japan Times looks at Sega’s Sapporo Studio, which was establised in December 2021 and helps with the development of various Sega games.
At one point in the article, Sapporo Studio president and Sega senior executive officer Takaya Segawa explains the role of the studio and the games it’s been collaborating on.
“We’re responsible for titles such as Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis and Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage in cooperation with the bases in Tokyo and overseas,” Segawa explained, before bringing up the Crazy Taxi reboot.
“We are also participating in the development of triple-A titles, including Crazy Taxi,” he said. “At present, we don’t have any titles developed independently by the studio, but we intend to do so in the future.”
Sega announced at The Game Awards in December that it was developing new entries in the Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Crazy Taxi series, but it was unclear how big their budgets would be.
The original Crazy Taxi enjoyed some success as an arcade game in 1999 but became far more popular when a home version was released for the Dreamcast in 2000, ultimately becoming the third best-selling game on the console in the US.
The game has seen a number of sequels and spin-offs, but the last entirely new, main entry in the series was Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller, which was released 22 years ago as an Xbox exclusive.

ARM’s Cortex-X5 Rumored To Be Underperforming, With High Power Surges And Low Multi-Core Scores Afflicting The Upcoming Core Design
The new Cortex-X5 design from ARM appears to be running into problems, with a new rumor stating that the super core is experiencing severely high power consumption at raised clock speeds and offering diminished multi-core performance when that maximum power limit is reduced. While this may not be an issue for Qualcomm as its Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is said to adopt custom CPU designs, MediaTek may be sweating profusely as it has to eventually announce the Dimensity 9400, which is said to adopt the same Cortex-X5 in its CPU cluster.
