Now that the Switch is a reality, what do we want out of the next entry in the 'Animal Crossing' series?
Atari has been considered a retro brand for decades now, but it hasn't always leaned into that designation. CEO Wade Rosen explains how the company's recent investments and acquisitions fit into the bigger picture.
wow... had no idea they were getting that deep into acquisitions. Hopefully they crank out more new ideas on some old classics.
Still remember my old 14" TV with the Atari sticker I had on it, haha... The sticker came with Unreal Tournament 2004 and I just had to slap that bad boy on my enormous beast of a display.
I would like to see Atari getting back into the gaming scene though. We could use some old blood stepping back into the ring these days.
But this "Atari" is just a holdings company that bought the Atari name many years ago. They have no relation to the original company.
the Atari of old is long gone. This new Atari is looking to resurrect the image while also embracing modern / retro vibes.
After about a month of silence from Microsoft, Phil Spencer, commander of the company’s gaming division, spoke for the first time about the sudden and inexplicable price increase of the Xbox Series S in brazil.
The current official price for the Series S in Brazil is R$3,599. During the last Black Friday, many retailers like Amazon and a local one called Kabum sold the PS5 Disc for R$3,440. The latter reported that they sold the equivalent of the height of 10 Eiffel Tower of PS5 consoles on Black Friday which people are speculating is somewhere between 3k - 7k per tower or 30k to 70k PS5 sold by one single retailer during the sale period.
Meanwhile no news about sales of the Xbox Series X or S. The latter did get into a sale as well, but the sales price was still 25% higher than the price that the console was commonly found before the price hike. Whereas the Series X did not get any significant deals during the period.
Before the price hike and the sales, the PS5 had 18% whereas the Xbox Series had 14% of the Brazilian gaming market (PGB report 2023). But I'm curious to see how the numbers will be for the 2024 report.

Frankly I wouldn't want to touch the Brazilian market myself. Female players have been murdered because of gaming over there. The country has a huge issue with handling masculinity online way more so than anywhere else.
I'd gtfo of any association with that sorta terrorism.
It’s been over a year since the launch of Guerrilla’s Horizon Forbidden West, and we’d like to share an update on our Aloy’s Forest project with you. This initiative is part of our commitment to the United Nations Playing for the Planet Alliance, supported by UN-REDD, to raise awareness on biodiversity.
Oh sure… yeah, totally what I think of when I’m busy entertaining myself by gaming and breaking away from the norm mainline of highly profitable / incentivized concerns in the world
Assuming it's on Switch, they need to make it so that people on multiple Switches can play local and online multiplayer. And not like 2-4 people in the same town, you should be able to bring in up to like 12 friends. Obviously graphics, customization, and interface need a boost. On top of that it'd be cool to see some more potential for customization in the town. It'd be cool if they allowed you to change up the terrain, bring in new landscaping, open up construction projects where you choose . . . Sort of similar to features construction/management games such as Zoo Tycoon, except from the Animal Crossing PoV. That sort of thing would be accessible a bit later in the game, of course.
