Two words, nuclear meltdown. Seriously though, city building games do still exist, although often the gameplay is part of a wider genre like 4X, kinda like stealth mechanics in action adventure games.

"the video for which appears to have been taken offline"

Geez so many remakes. Hopefully they got constructive feedback. LOL ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Dragon Quest for sure! Short but sweet. The sequels are longer. The final boss on Dragon Quest 5 was tough. Super Famicom great 90's game.

Max Payne "I was too tired to go on." or "I was afraid to go on."

Game over screens too like Arkham City with the villain mocking Batman. System Shock with the hopeless death animation. Sometimes the deaths can get elaborate and repetitive though like some horror games.

Absolutely loved STALKER. Heart of Chornobyl comes out this year.

You should play / replay Splinter Cell. Espionage, stealth action, some techy tools. Really would like to see this series or something like it return.

There's also Metal Gear, Shadowrun, and the lesser known Anachronox produced by Tom Hall of Doom.

Maybe let players form taxi teams and get into fights with rival ride hailing companies? Lol Could be entertaining.

100 simultaneous players seems like a lot for a game designed to be played in short bursts?

The game was too short too and could use more chapters IMO. Also maybe they could do something about the ending. (Can't find the spoiler button on the Voyager app so I'll leave it at that lolz)

Playing 5 games right now....

  • Mega Man (original NES version) - fast paced and better than I expected platformer

  • Lonely Mountains Downhill - calming and chill mountain biking game

  • Voices of the Void - silly and mildly aggravating at times but fun once you get into it simulator game

  • Sam & Max Hit the Road - funny point-and-click adventure game with puzzles that are fair and logical

  • Skies Of Arcadia - classic turn based RPG with an entertaining story can't believe I never played it years ago

    My game tips for each game

    spoiler

    • Mega Man (original NES version) - keep shooting while jumping forward, keep distance from the bosses, time jumps based on audio cues
    • Lonely Mountains Downhill - take the shortcuts whenever possible
    • Voices of the Void - upgrade your server stability stat as soon as possible, use the toilet to restore stamina, buy shrimp packs
    • Sam & Max Hit the Road - read the game manual for minigame instructions, check each screen very carefully
    • Skies Of Arcadia - use gear grease in ship battles, use increm magic to increase attack, red and purple magic are strong against each other

Deus Ex, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Mario, Need For Speed, Sonic The Hedgehog, Tomb Raider etc. all have had AAA reboots and not always following the same formula as the originals. AAA games tend to chase the latest trends, reboots included. This isn't to say all AAA reboots fail.

AAA or not, Crazy Taxi was an arcade game so we can only hope they don't veer the taxi off a cliff, or do veer it off a cliff (pun intended) as is appropriate for a good Crazy Taxi game!

Such a great game it deserves a new remaster. Would love to see new content too.
