It won’t be a new 2600, but it can avoid being a new Jaguar
By focusing on a few crucial aspects, the Atari Box can be a moderate success, with strong emphasis on the word “moderate.” The company will never be able to threaten Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft in terms of sales, but if they focus their efforts on delivering a smaller but competent niche console, they might make a few bucks out of it. Here are some ways the Atari Box could avoid being yet another Jaguar for the company:
Marathon was slated to launch on Sept. 23, 2025 across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, but Bungie will share the new release date in the fall.
It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.
If you really gotta play ... play the better extraction shooter this year : ARC Raiders
They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.
If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.
So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.
"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"
They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...
and N4G was littered with comments like : Marathon looks really good, maybe you're a hater and the likes blah blah ... especially under articles which compared it with Arc Raiders ....
Razer has revealed their new V3 Line for the Kishi mobile platform.
A year packed with major releases for Xbox consoles, PC and Game Pass.
ninja Gaiden being released 8 days apart is insane MS hasn't learned anything with shoulder to shoulder releases. October 29 for Outer Worlds and October 21 for Ninja Gaiden. These games now range from 60 to 80$. Yalls audience might GP it but other platforms have to buy it and your average person won't shell out that kinda money a week apart.
If you want both, then buy both. What difference does it make if you buy one now, and the other one later? Just get the one you really want first. I know $80 is expensive, but it’s not THAT expensive. If you’re skipping paying the gas bill due to trying to buy a game maybe don’t buy either one yet and wait a few months when they’re cheaper? They won’t eat into each other’s audience. Even Microsoft knows.
Well, you dont have to buy it. Noone is making gamers buy it a week apart. I don't see anything wrong with it.
You want another Doom The Dark Ages scenario? I'm surprised Oblivion and Expedition 33 did well with a simultaneous release. Clearly that fatigue was definitely felt with Doom.
They need at least 2 weeks apart.
You're talking about a first-person RPG and a third-person action game though. So, it's a bit different than EA putting Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 back-to-back.
Replies(2)I count 7 original multiplatform IPs, which were ultimately bought and are now published by Microsoft.
Sigh.
Replies(2)If you look closer again, then you'll notice that I, at any point, didn't even mentioned the adjective "bad".
But you.
Nope, 'displeased' ain't the feeling I had when reading that article.
But speaking of pleasure:
Are you personally pleased with that line-up Xbox have in store for you in the Series' fifth year?
Edit: I didn't downvote you.
To be fair “sigh” could also mean relief, happiness… although it is also often interpreted as some form of negative expression
@light:” What's the issue with this?”
The issue is your thickness a reasonable player would buy one of the two game that are close to each other release and at minimum get it to halfway/finish it and then buy the other at a later time🤦🏿.
Not everyone try to break the speed run record on every game
NOT re-releasing Alone in the Dark Illumination, for starters...
Atari could barely remain a competent third party publisher in recent times. I doubt they have what it takes to be a significant player in the hardware market.
"Differently from Microsoft’s Xbox, Atari has actually managed to be a bit successful in Japan once."
When did this ever happen?
has anyone seen this on their instagram? https://www.instagram.com/p... seems like there is two styles being considered.
What the hell Sega. It's either the top of the board is cheap as hell and don't wanna go for a system or statistically there's really no market for them in the home console market. The fact that Xbox and Sony are literally mirror images of themselves in many ways, having something similar to the route Nintendo takes would definitely be a breathe of fresh air. They've got the assets to be successful, shenmue, sonic, and even a whole new power stone can definitely move systems unlike the likes of Xbox which have nothing and are still here
