s8anicslayer6251d ago

hallarious! but a return to the console market for atari would be cool! Americans would have an even stronger hold in the game industry with the likes of microsoft!

I will stand in line for a week to get my meaty digits on this piece of bada$$. With or without games. I just want it sitting next to my 52" Aquos, right between my 360 and my PS3. Like a referee during a hockey game, holding the sluggers apart.

Atari, I heart you. If only the console had a fleshy automated orifice that I could physicalize my affection with. Now THAT'S next gen.

That reminds me of an old EGM that had the intellivision 2000 announcement as an arpils fools joke.

You'll be playing as 1/4th of an orange instead of the regular Pacman.

364 days out of the year people say that gamers need to calm down and relax a bit. On the one day where it's acceptable to be calm, everyone wants "serious business".

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

Scissorman25d ago

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
