What exactly are they looking to be able to achieve, though? How are they expecting to make a powerful handheld machine which improves on the PS5 AND the Steamdeck?
I will say I am glad to see that the current Atari CEO is actually trying to do stuff with the brand again. It seemed like it was really dead for a long time. But it’s refreshing to see Atari celebrate it’s long and bumpy history. As well as trying to do new things in the modern gaming environment. I hope they can find some real success. It would be neat to see Atari actually become a big player again.
As a cautionary tale, I said the same things about Embracer acquiring unused properties and underutilized studios in an attempt to revive more niche series for underserved segments of the market.
Fair enough, but it’s really just a hope. I certainly don’t have confidence that it won’t turn to shit. But the gaming landscape could use some shakeup with some new/old players.
I was going to say the same thing. I noticed it with the new Busby game, I hope they find a lot of success are are able to bring that retro game design back to the forefront.
More testing of what? How to do basic market research so you don’t release a full priced game in a space where the thriving competitors are free to play?
During a Q&A session following Sony’s latest financial results, Tao said that despite the negativity surrounding Sony’s live service offerings thanks to the issues with Concord and Marathon, she still believes live service games are worthwhile because they’ve added a revenue stream that didn’t exist for the company five years ago.
It blew my mind how quick video games media moves on from abuse scandals. Like the major video media orgs are staffed to the brim with leftist, hyper Twitter finger social justice types but they didn’t lay down continuous pressure on Ubisoft, Quantic Dream, Activision Blizzard. It was report then back to cordial relationship with these companies where pretty much no one faced punishment. At the very least constantly work to destroy their public images until they resign and divest
It’s not just the media companies even the studios are full of leftists/progressives. Like Blizzard should have a fucking hard time to find workers. But nope. The blue hairs still line up to apply or never left. Remember the loudest progressives are just virtue signaling. And they just appropriated punk esthetics but never embraced the punk ethos.
Seems to be a consistent pattern across all types of media, I mean look at all the allegations against people in Hollywood, that came out during the me to movement, and still Roman Polanski gets a standing ovation, more and more it feels to me that most people don’t give a shit about anything other than their self interest in this world.
