So how do you guys feel about Atari getting "back in the

Does it even matter at this point?
Atari the company that made computers and video game consoles in the 70s-90s has ceased to exist.

I hate life itself and this whole fucking website... but as soon as I read this I squealed internally like a little schoolgirl.

I think I'm gonna treat myself to some grapes and tell my wife I love her.

>tfw wasn't even a glimmer in my father's eye when Atari was in it's prime console days, but when I learned this, I got excited if nothing else because it injects some variety into the stale usual suspects we've had for the past 16 years

I really hope their new console does well. the console industry needs to be revitalized. it's been stagnant for years.

Just going to be some backdoored shit at best, or just some off-the shelf parts slapped together into a nostalgiabox.

>it will be "PC based"
Disappointing, my favourite part of consoles was the exotic hardware compared to PCs. The main two are just locked down PCs and Nintendo's newest console is just a tablet. Still pretty neat that Atari's getting back in the game though.

Good luck getting something out there developers would even somewhat want to touch using anything other than ARM/x86. the days of semi-custom CPUs in consoles/computers are long gone and considering what little resources Atari has now x86 was most likely the only thing cheap enough to be able to get something out there

Will they still need Activision to make all the decent games for their console?

Technically the AMD Apus (kek) in the consoles are semi-custom because nobody else has been stupid enough to buy them.

I don't see what's so funny about APUs. They're just CPUs with on-die iGPUs that don't suck ass

>shartari - for the modern american gaymen

just make desktop hardware atari

we need more component manufacturers not more complete pcs like apple

Zen/Vega APU + steam in a woodgrain Atari box? I would and SO WOULD YOU.
