Atari Moving Away from Single-player Games

May 25th, 2008 Posted in Business, Culture, Software by Rajiv Ashrafi

00000tmp In an interview with Gamasutra, Infograme’s new president Phil Harrison suggested that Atari may be moving away from the single-player gaming experience, instead opting to make games that go for more “social communication and community model.”

“I don’t see that we’re going to be making huge-budget, single-player games in the future,” he said. “Now, that doesn’t mean that we won’t have ambition to do really incredible games that have high quality, high execution, and high innovation, but they won’t be one-player, narrative-driven, start-middle-end games.”

So, what do you guys think? Do we need more single-player experiences, or do you want to experience more “social” games?
