What do I do? Things. What things? Well. We'll see, won't we?

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

New video?!
Yes.

Crazy Taxi is the perfect arcade game.
Let's find out why.
Link in the usual place

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@SEGA Yeah, go on then.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@JAMOGRAD Right. Bond only acts with well-trained violence when all other options are exhausted, too.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

We generally favour intellect above strength. Not always, but for the most part. Sherlock, the Doctor, etc.

[Video Nasties🇵🇲 @53gaDr3amca5t]

British heroes must be magicians, knights, spies, detectives, soldiers (especially if a Navy man) or tinkerers of some sort. The traditional superhero feels wrong in the old sacred Isles.

Which makes it quite different from Japan, who superheroes work perfectly within

My beautiful amazing wife has just said I'm a combination of Matt Berry and a non-drunk Jack Sparrow.

I've never felt more complimented in my life. I love this woman.

[Devolver Digital @devolverdigital]

Not every publisher.

@ArcadeRacing_0 @RohanKarMooN It's just occurred to me that the only reason I know who Colin McRae is, is because his name was a series of videogame titles. Which is odd because I guess they licensed him to sell the games, but that's the only reason I recognise him.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

If there's one theoretical fantasy title that can go up "against" GTA VI, it's a remake of Ocarina of Time.

Just saying.

[Stealth @Stealth40k]

If there is one studio who isn't going to get out of the way of GTA VI in November, it's Nintendo.

They didn't with GTA V. They had a big first party release three days after.

GTA VI isn't coming to Switch 2 (at least at launch), so I don't think Nintendo will work around it.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

I'm not saying that Sony's exclusives have been basically The Same for a long time, but...

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@EccoDolphinGame
Could I possibly humbly show you a recent video I made?

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

I mean, retroactively, this was a lot of kids' first FPS, so it's not wrong.

You could say the same thing about Doom (don't, though).

[floppy @CactusFuturist]

This image only exists because gamers at the time genuinely felt threatened by how good Halo CE was. It's better than pretty much every shooter that came before it, a solved formula.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@Executor250624 I don't know how you CAN talk about a stealth game without talking level design. You need something to stealth around or else it doesn't work.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@Jayenkai @enzi__nia Could always use Steam's Remote Play Together, as long as it's not reaction based so the latency doesn't really matter

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@Vismyname3 The maps aren't very unique, and it's sort of... The same, but worse. So it's just not very good.

The Jump is fun when you have space for it though, but that all got handled properly in 3.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

Crazy Taxi 2... Is not very good

[SEGA City @sega_city]

Crazy Taxi 2' was released on the SEGA Dreamcast 25 years ago today worldwide.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

That's my Dorito Pope, and I stand with him.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@EccoDolphinGame Ecco is a very top-tier example of "man, I have had a ROUGH day".

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

You're supposed to be holding the back of that car. This is the tutorial.

[Niche Gamer @nichegamer]

Sega leaker drops new Jet Set Radio, Sonic, Persona, and Crazy Taxi rumors: https://t.co/9ciAo7Dpev

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

Fox being in the Galaxy movie is how they bridge the Mario, StarFox and Zelda cinematic universes for the Smash Brothers Infinity War.

[Lost Internet @LostMemeArchive]

Ocarina of Time had Star Fox Arwings hidden in the game’s code.

They were apparently used to test enemy movement.

Years later, players found ways to spawn them without a cheat device.

Link fighting a spaceship in Hyrule is somehow real.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@GenTwoMuch @ApplesWRLD @melo_morales97 We do, because "diminishing" doesn't mean "not improved at all", more that the time/money put into that doesn't yield the degree of improvement it used to.

Astrobot for example isn't, comparatively to a PS4, what something like Jak & Daxter was to Crash Bandicoot.

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

Of course it does. Nothing has really advanced meaningfully since the PS4.

Graphics quality is heavily in the land of diminishing returns. Has been for a long time.

[Aero @ActualAero]

Broooo this is a PS4 game???

Because the art style is so nice the game still looks gorgeous even 9 years later

I love vibrant & colorful RPGs so this is gonna be great to look at for many hours 🙏🏼

[Zayne/Zed/Whatever @ZayneDoesThings]

@GenTwoMuch @ApplesWRLD @melo_morales97 Good graphics being very expensive to make is a huge part of what 'diminishing returns' means.
