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.

The sequel 'Grow Up' was even better. Great 3D platformer.

I don't trust Atari to not fuck it up. But hey, more surprising things have happened.
