Atari to hold off on PlayStation 3 titles until 2007

Speaking in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Atari CEO Bruno Bonnell has confirmed that the publisher has no plans to release any PS3 games before 2007.

Bonnell said Atari intends to support all three next-gen consoles "fairly equally", adding, "It's just that we're lacking information about the PS3 at this stage, because we have basically a rough release date and a high retail price point.

"As far as the Wii and the Xbox 360 go, we'll be there for this season; for PS3, we'll probably have to wait a little later in the year before we release some new titles." And, according to Bonnell, that means no Atari titles on PS3 until 2007.

TheMART6474d ago

haha but it's funny. And see here, it get's real sh*tty for the PS3

Shadow Flare6474d ago

most of the top games arent coming out till 2007 anyway

And whats the best game that atari has? Driver? And i thought Driver got bought out by ubisoft anyway. Who cares about atari?

specialguest6474d ago (Edited 6474d ago )

exactly what i was just thinking. like you stated, most games aren't going to make it till '07. hell! the PS3 isn't releasing till late '06 anyway. i think the games that are being released this year is enough to cover for 2 more months until next year.

How is it sh*tty for sony when it well be only a couple of months that we will see a game from atari on the PS3.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood9h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.
