>Last week, Atari began teasing a new product called the Ataribox.The video released on a non-Atari web site showed a picture of some kind of hardware product, but many people wondered if the teaser was fake. Others had no idea what the video was showing about a “brand new Atari product years in the making.”
>After all, nobody makes a game console with wood-grain siding. But at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Chesnais told me that the rumors are true.
>“We’re back in the hardware business,” he said.
>Chesnais declined to describe a lot of details about the console. But he said it is based on PC technology. He said Atari is still working on the design and will reveal it at a later date.
>Chesnais said that Atari’s revival is well under way. Atari filed for bankruptcy protection in 2013, but Chesnais bought it and pledged to make it great again. The company is now profitable, and it is engaged in making mobile games. It is licensing its brands more widely, such as licensing its Atari name for the upcoming Blade Runner 2049 movie.

Alright anons its me, the last atari wojak poster in last thread. I did some more serious edits and hope this one comes out a little better.
I thought Infogrames or whatever was wearing Atari's skin as a face mask was finally being put out of its misery by BlueBay restructuring or whatever vulture capitalist firm got their claws into it.
The three lawyers mismanaging Interplay gave up a while back after mismanaging what few IPs they had.
>>380819163

Yes, please. We're so close to an industry cleansing, and we need just a little push.
>>380819409
>>New Pitfall game with complex platforming, puzzles, cool physics and cave exploration
This would be a good way to bring back the allure of the old Tomb Raider games while the actual TR series continues to sail forunchartedwaters.

>>380818426
Let me explain how dead Atari is. It went bankrupt and was sold to another company who went bankrupt and sold it to another company who went bankrupt and sold it to another company who went bankrupt. It now belongs to a holding company who bought the licensing rights so they could sell nostagic t-shirts. And that mobile gaming focus you're talking about? It was Denny's who wanted to promote their breakfast menu items slapped over classic Atari games. There is no "Atari CEO." The company is beyond redemption. There isn't even a dead husk left to molest. Atari's copse has been picked clean and the skeleton raped into dusk. It's fucking over.
>>380819898
It's not even close to haveing a final design
fucking retardi fags in this thread, fuck off
You ARE going to buy Skyrim on the Ataribox....right?
We need some disco Atari Wojacks.
Considering all the circumstances, don't expect returns of any atari franchise that aren't already being made, they're clearly trying to do a valve here go from a developer to a platform so they can print money.
They'll probably end up being too unreasonable on their fees and turn off a lot of developers.
Just watch man, this shit is gonna be DOA, its been too long for people to nostalgiafag over atari consoles, they've got no selling point and there's no room in the market for a fourth major console. It'll literally go the way of Ouya.
>>380819960
That's a good point. Modding also didn't exist then. But still, imagine now if there were no new games ever again. No games at all would ever be produced again. That'd be fucking awful and you know it, even if a lot of garbage is made you're still missing out on a lot of good stuff like that.
Of course, nowadays, video games are too big to fail, so I don't have to worry. But the ET crash was horrific, and wishing for something of that magnitude again is retarded.
>tfw I want it to succeed so hard but I know it won't
I mean, it might be a cheap, shitty cash-in, but in the context of the current, massive nostalgia/retrowave/90s aesthetics bandwagon we got going on with the millennial crowd, this is actually a genius move. I'm actually surprised that conveniently packaged retro emulation boxes like the mini nes aren't more of a thing right now.
>>380820164
I can't believe there's ALREADY a Toddpost and the Wojak hasn't been 100% designed yet. What a fucking time to be alive, holy shit.
>>380818426

>>380820083
Yeah, this new console sounds like bullshit and reeks of a bullshit artist
>>380820083
>Hasbro used to own Atari for a bit
Shit. It looks like Atari was sold at least four times in the last two decades.
>>380818982
Hopefully new Blood will not be garbage like new Doom and new Wolfenstein. Well, at the very least it will not be a Bethesda garbage.
Indifference. I assume that its going to be a souped up version of those nostalgia gaming consoles you buy at Dollar General
It would make more sense if the wojak looked like a 70's nerd or the porn cowboy.

Oh yeah, it would still suck, I'm just saying it wouldn't be as bad as it would have been back then.Though I would be pleased if everything took just kind of a break for a few years so I could spend time catching up.
>>380820325
That's not even remotely similar.
>>380819753
nah, realistically it would be:
2x Ryzen 6 core APUs custom configured in crossfire.
1TB SSHD
The SSHD would have a specific 2GB partition for OS data, and a custom 4GB partition for frequently accessed data on the SSD side of the SSHD.
4GB DDR5 for GPU use, 8GB DDR4 for general use.
It would just be a PC with a custom CPU/GPU setup in crossfire.
This would cost about 40% less to implement.
The more competition the better, it means devs can be less half assed.
Gaming will be great once again.
Also this could push for more crossplay.
What time-line is this?
>ataribox is a steambox

If they handle this right and the hardware is actually good for its price, this could be big.

>>380820195
Funny you should mention the Ouya. At the same time as the Ouya hit kickstarter there was a lesser known retro linux handheld called the GCW-Zero that launched it's kickstarter. During the corse of the kickstarter Atari's parent company once again went bankrupt and put it up for sale. The GCW-Zero creator launched a fundable page to try and raise money to buy the company but failed to meet his goal of 1 million dollars. Don't think it even broke 100k.

>Less half assed

>>380820640
>That's not even remotely similar.
Too fast to crash.
Too heavy to fall.
Too small to be lost.
Its similar enough if you're not retarded.
Too big to fail? They said the same thing about the housing market.
But let me guess that's also "not even remotely similar" Neither is your response an argument, yet you still got a response out of me.
>>380820697
Par for the course.
>>380820827
Atari was made in the 70s
>>380820827

>buttons light up in the dark so you can see which one you're pressing
>>380820325
Not really. If every company were to somehow go bankrupt at the same time, the indie scene would still live on and the consumers would most likely not abandon the hobby entirely, so the indies would form and combine into new big companies. This isn't a niche anymore, the world is too connected and gaming is too ingrained to stop being a thing at this point.
>>380820640
I would agree, but I really appreciate having so much choice. It feels great to have so many games I want to play that I can't keep up, rather than have so few games to play that I get bored with the ones I like.
>>380820680

To piggy back off this I just want to point out that Atari belongs to a holding company. Which means that the company doesn't have any employees. It just holds the name and intellectual properties. The idea that there's an Atari CEO is ridiculous.

You're trying way too hard to be clever and not taking anything of substance into account, merely playing with semantics. And your housing market example proves you have no idea what you're talking about, because clearly you don't even know what happened there and why.
>>380821219
Dude just edit this wojak.

>>380821219

Atari is American.
Only thing I could see them making that might have a shot at being successful is a competitor to that Amazon Fire Gaming TV thing. I'm not sure if that's discontinued or not. Basically just runs indie games/first party games and doubles as something to run Netflix/Hulu/Sling/YouTube/etc.

So, will the hardware be as simple, elegant and bug free as the jaguar?
If it's similar to Steambox, it's guaranteed dead in the water.
They need exclusives as incentives. You can't just make hardware in this day and age without exclusives, and if Atari itself doesn't have exclusives it would have to shell out millions of dollars to get exclusivity rights and game development.

You're not wrong
Does anyone think Atari kept a hardware division alive for twenty years since their last release? These are probably guys fresh from college who just needed a mark on their resume.
For all we know, we're getting the same people who developed for the Ouya.
>>380824932
This. I won't believe it's not just another retrobox until I see something substantial.
>>380824507
I'll wait for an actual press release before I trust a twitter page, thank you.
>>380824848
Even with exclusives it seems so pointless unless they have some really innovative features. I much rather they compete with the handheld space, there's room to grow there.
>>380824723
Because Atari bought the Ouya division after it failed.
>>380824841
With a working disc drive that doesn't fail after a month, hopefully.
>>380825128
If by "grow" you mean "get killed by Nintendo almost instantly"
>>380824932
atari already has several retroshitboxes
they just don't get shilled on /v/ like the nes one
>>380825124
They have the blue checkmark
So, what big cat will Atari's new console be named after?
>>380825128
Well, going for a blue ocean strategy isn't a bad alternative, but Atari was never the creative bunch.
I agree that the handheld space is good but it's a monopoly at this point, and it's dying.

I would be all for a modern console that's extremely easy to make games for with very little abstraction.
A console that's basically a learners guide to making projects for targeted hardware.
You could argue we have that with Android, but android is a mess to make complicated projects for. It's like the bastard son of the cousin of Sun Microsystem's Solaris system.
I would be very excited if it turned out to be something that you could do baremetal addressing on.

Yes, the people that own the rights are using the brand for some type of gaming hardware
But rest assured

Stop
You'll be lucky to get a plug and play

>$400 price range
>Easy to port from PC
>No licensing fee for AAA developers
If they could do that, it'd immediately be a player, and could possibly push Microsoft out of the market.

Now this is what I called a Game Crash
It is a new console, they have partnered with several technology companies in the last six months that all make components. They said it was a BOX
>>380820839
Hardly anyone if anyone at all has said those examples. You're fucking retarded
>>380831316
That's nowhere near enough in to be successful when the three major companies are operating in the billions. That probably not enough for even marketing.
>>380831603
watch the vid and pay attention to the edges of the window. That is exactly what they're insinuating. You can see what looks like ports along the bottom edge under the woodgrain. I don't know about disk drives however.
Seriously how is Atari (Infogrames) still alive?
There better be a poorly thought out Stranger Things game for this console on launch.

Unlike you I actually used to own an Atari and a copy of ET
It fucking sucks and is barely even a game

Nintendo already did that. I'm hoping it's 100% digital because disc drives are a waste and physical stores are dying.

They could also literally preload it with every Atari 2600 game ever made. Novelty sales alone would give it a huge install base to sell games to

If they did that it would be a no go for me. Only reason I have a Ps4 on top of my PC is because consoles actually get physical releases. If that stopped then I'd have no reason to have a console. You are the cancer hurting gaming.

It's a Jehri Curl Mullet. This is a thing. It existed from the mid-70s until today because there is no god.
Nintendos meme consoles have proven there's a market for this. Even if it's just a.novelty with old Atari arcade ROMs on it, it could be a money maker.

Hopefully they take Japan and Europe with them this time around. Burn it all to ashes.

Who's excited for a (((remaster))) with 4K .cfg file for a built-in DOSBox(tm) and forced filters that you cannot turn off bros? I sure I am! :^)

what games will the ataribox have?

aesthetic games

It'll be an emulation machine in the vein of NES Mini. Nothing to talk about.
Can you imagine if the release-day lineup includes shit like Space-Invaders, Pitfall, and Frogger but updated for current gen expectations.
Like a space rpg for Space-invaders, an uncharted-esque pitfall game, and a frogger platformer. 10/10 would buy.

Yes & yes, I have my Atari 2600 in my room right now. Admittedly though, I'm not like 40-50 so I wasn't around when it was booming, it's just a hand-me-down from my parents. I do have a decent amount of games for it though at least.

I don't imagine them prevaliing by trying to play against 2 identitcal black boxes that is PS4 and Xbone.
Their best chance is some sort of gimmicky bullshit, like VR-based console that plays real games.

yeah, we have crowdfunding now. Mark my words.

I remember having a hard time with the second game when I was a kid. Fuck those pyramid themed levels

Keep in mind that Microsoft was doing alright (although it took the investment of Xbox Live to do so), right up until they fucked up with the Kinect.
