So they’re turning it into a Driver/GTA clone?

Forza horizon clone.

Yeah, Forza Horizon is literally all I can think of with this announcement. The thing is, Forza has far more mass appeal due to the breadth of options it has. I am struggling to see how the hell Crazy Taxi could even come close to Forza’s variety.
The only thing I can think of, is they plan to make it like Twisted Metal meets Crazy Taxi, and by massively multiplayer they’re referring to server instances of 100+ players in a city area. You’ll have objectives to pick people up, but I would bet they’ll end up making it so you can also pick up illicit deliveries or even being a driver for bank robbers or something, similar to GTA Online. Sort of a PvPvE type system as well. If they combine all of those elements, I could see it being maybe fun. But I doubt it will end up fun.
Anyway, agreed with others that they should’ve just stuck to a smaller scale arcade style game. The previous games were all that way and they were successful and fun. I have no idea why they’d think changing that basic formula is a great idea for a game like this.
