HOT PXL is not homebrew... or is it? |
Ó
It's been quite a while since we've posted anything about HOT PXL. Atari seems to be keeping mum about it, and their website doesn't appear to be that active. All we know is that it boasts 200+ "micro-games" and that it aims to be a pick-up-and-play sort of collection, much like the WarioWare franchise. But more than that, a lot of you have been wondering: HOT PXL is not homebrew... or is it?
If you've seen the other screenshots and videos, and take all these games individually, you'd think that they're all just homebrew. Now, the thing is, you can't take these games individually: there's a backstory that ties all of the mini-games together. As Djon the skateboarder, you go through all these street savvy obstacles as you progress in the game. But more than that, the game has a sold back-up with regards to the its development. It's developed by zSlide, published by Atari, and distributed by Ingram Entertainment. Now based on the strictest, most technical definition of "homebrew", the game isn't brewed at home... Hence, not a homebrew.
In the end, whether this you consider this homebrew or not, it does have its own appeal. In the same sense that some people would release a homebrew collectionpack, HOT PXL is just about as good as it gets.

I mean, it's ok with the modchips and stuff... but give us ads for commercial games? that's just wrong QJ...
Of course it's not homebrew if a *REAL* game company is releasing it! WTF is up with these bad articles?!
I dont understand a bit about this stuff,i only get the words homebrew,wariow are,Hot PXL,website and atari
So Hotpxl is a warioware homebrew that you get on a website and is has something to do with Atari?.
*Brain explodes.
Well is not homebrew since a company is doing so is official stuff.
WTF? Are you stupid? It's not homebrew if someone was paid to produce it. Homebrew means someone did it in their spare time for the fun of it and released it to the public to play with.
Homebrew has nothing to do with look or feel.
Idiot.
This isnt homebrew. This is an americanized version of the "wacky" japanese games. It's not homebrew nor does it have any way shape or form of homebrew,
That was one of the most innane "articles" I've read here. It was essentially an ad for a game passed off as genuine news piece. What the hell does the "homebrew" in the title have anything to do with this game. I'll tell you what, it made people like me stop to read the ad.
Christ! The ***** this site is passing off as news nowadays is just sad.
