A crash is exactly what we need right now.

>implying the first affected anywhere outside America

I would thank them if they do so. Fuck the videogame industry need to crash and burn with no survivors as soon as possible. Only a total purge, hard reset can resolve this mess.

I don't understand what new IPs and exclusives they could possibly deliver to make the endeavor worthwhile. This is going to die so hard, unless they start rebooting every good property they own (they have some decent ones in their vault, to be fair).

I haven't been paying too much attention.

Why are people hyped about this?

What could Atari possibly do that MS/Sony/Nintendo aren't already doing and isn't available on the PC?

>>381093445
atari didn't cause the first gaming crash, necessarily
it was developers as a whole
developers like quaker oats
the market was flooded with useless video games only meant to push an agenda
the genuinely good games were caught up in a tide of shit
not unlike today, really
when it crashed last time, we entered a new golden age, because in order for a game or console to sell, it had to be excellent
let's hope it crashes again

Didn't Atari shit out a new console every other day though?

Do we really need another console?

Feels like three major consoles are already oversaturating the market.

Please please please please CRASH THIS INDUSTRY WITH NO SURVIVORS.
Maybe let Nintendo live cause they got us out of the last one though.

No, fuck no. It's just the concept of upgrading to a new game system was insanely foreign back then. Why upgrade to an Atari 5200 after 5 years when my TV and microwave lasted me over 10? That was the mindset back then.

just compare how many people bought a PS3/360/wii in 2010 to how many own a PS4/BONE/Wiiu/Switch now
millions of users have left gaming or migrated to mobile or PC
this generation will see the lowest sales of them all, and by the next we crash

I'm interested to see how the Switch changes things, because it offers a way to play advanced console games on the go, which is something that PC and mobile can't offer.

who the fuck is atari

If they did cause another gaming crash I would love them so much, this industry has gotten too comfortable with fucking over consumers while having too many casuals taking their bait.

>>381097270
Video game publisher. Made consoles in the late 70's and early 80's.

I wonder what kind of console it will be, something between xbox/playstation and nintendo perhaps?

>>381093445
But that's literally the best case scenario.
Unfortunately it's also a very unrealistic one.

Remember, Activision deserves just as much blame for the first crash as Atari.

>>381099882
I thought Activision made most of the Atari's best games? not an expert on vidya history, plz no bully

>>381099882
Activision actually made decent games, though.
And there were the lawsuits and everything too.
Blaming Activision is like blaming a super talented rape victim.

>>381099992
>>381100180
They did, but Activision set the precedent for third party devs by being the first. As a result you had a shitload of people rushing their games out to the market with Atari jewing you out of your profits. Activision inadvertently inspired everyone to become their own studio leading to hundreds of shitty games flooding the market.

Impossible now. Gaming is mainstream as fuck and there will be people who buy the new shiny console, be it xbonerx or Switch2 or PS4pro2 with no games. The first crash happened only because there were not enough patrons of the industry. Now? Instead of crashing the whole industry, the shitty company will just go out of biznus.

>>381101547

NO NO NONOO

A CRASH WILL HAPPEN. THE PROPHECY WILL HAPPEN DADDY-O

What if Atari is what VR needed to stop being a gimmick?

>>381101547
>The first crash happened only because there were not enough patrons of the industry.

The first crash happened because every electronics maker flooded the market with shitty clones. The second crash happened because fucking two bit mom & pop tried to mame shitty games that didn't actually runs and crammed them into Atari carts anyway and expected people to buy games that would crash if you so much as tried to run them.

The industry has standards now.

>The industry has standards now.

Never got into gaming before PS1/N64. What games did Atari have on their consoles? I took a quick look on the games list of the Jaguar, and didn't really recognize anything exciting. Did they cooperate with e.g. Capcom?

>>381102419
The only crash I think could happen now would be if games get close to what happened to movies in the 50s and 60s where the cost of production exceeds the potential profits. Technology tends to keep up but if it plateaus a bunch of people are going to get fucked.

>>381102725

Even Andromeda, the shittiest broken modern example doesn't hold a candle to some of the shit from the Atari era. There were no rules at all.

>>381102861

Their height was the 2600. Games like the original Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Space Invaders, everything that was hot shit at arcades in the 80's. Also stuff like Pitfall and Digdug and the original open world adventure game Adventure.

Has this been edited yet?
Atari Wojak should be hung by his own sweatband

there will never be a video game """""""""crash""""""""" ever again

the only reason that was possible was because of its situation as a growing industry before.

video games are ingrained in our culture today. anybody can make them. they have huge indie scenes and shit like early access / greenlight.

>>381093836
>>381096095
I actually think games are actually doing pretty good right now. At least with the Switch

>>381104423

>>381104876
We just want the AAA part of the market to crash. Indie devs making stuff is fine and should continue even if the AAA stuff goes up in flames. The trend of politically correct, unfinished, unpolished stuff thats coming out with microtransactions needs to die.

GROOOVY

Why is the Atari meme 70s disco when the typical Atari gamer was a kid in the early 1980's?

>>381105679
The implication is that it's an older person at the time getting upset about video games just like we do.

>>381104613
Actually that is really clever

>>381105950

Nah, adults largely got burned out on video games with Pong in the 70's. In the 80's it was very much a kid's and teen thing. Until the NES happened anyway. Which is amazing considering how much consoles cost. We think the X Box One X is expensive at $500, the Atari 2600 was $800 in today's money.

>>381106698
Yeah, that's true. But I like to think of Atari Wojak as one of the few who didn't. Most Atari kids just hopped right on Nintendo or Sega right after, but this dude grew up hating them, the kind of guy that would get a Jaguar the day it came out.

Nope. Black people control the dance market, and all they listen to is rap and hood shit. Whites are the only ones who could bring it back, but the other problem is that blacks also control the normie memes in social media. Making fun of whites trying to dance or act cool is black twitter's only meme.

Disco is dead unless we reestablish the black family structure, thus destroying hood culture, so they can bring back the new era of funk and make it "hip" to the normies.
