Do you think Atari will become a big competitor again?
>>381600874
>You guys getting the new Atari console?
I might buy one for novelty and shitposting pictures, but not actually play on it.
>Do you think Atari will become a big competitor again?
No
>>381600874
No.
Double no.
>>381600874
It's gonna be awful and probably weaker than the switch
I want to believe, but we all know what's coming
>>381600874
99% Chance it's just an emulation box like the NES Classic. Would I buy it? Maybe.
>>381600874
If they wanna become a big competitor again they should start small, probably just making strong but simple and cheap to make IPs based on old classics.
Then, when they have success and are on top they can crash the industry again, this time with no survivors.
SWORD QUEST REMASTER WHEN?
BERZERK REMASTER WHEN?

its time for microsoft to die, even with what 3 or 4 consoles their game library only gets thinner and thinner.

>t. non-ataribro salty about how he won't get to play Airworld
>>381600874
I find it difficult to see Atari compete in the console space. There's already the PS4 and X1 and their upgraded counterparts for those who want to play multi-plats and console exclusives in their living room, the Switch to play Nintendo games, indies and some console games anywhere, and the PC has the largest game library and the most efficient multimedia platform.
How is Atari going to compete against all that?
They would need unique first/third party launch titles to go with it. The Atari would either have to be more powerful than the Xbox X(which would jack up the price more than it), would have to have a lot of third-party support, or exclusives for it or would have to have a gimmick that works with it. Plus they would need millions to fund this mystery console's development and launch, with no gurantee it will even sell in the first place.
Curious to see how they will pull off. They can't ride on nostalgia/brand recognition as deeply as Nintendo. We'll see what they do.
Hey daddy-o's, what is happenin' in this thread? Aint no jive turkehs up in here, aint they?
>it's just an Atari plug n play like the NES one we had last year
>>381600874
Yes.
Maybe, if it's easy to develop for we might get a lot of gems again, these days videogames just cost too much to make.
>>381600874
I'm definitely getting it one if the price is right.
I think the best thing they could do is wait until the next generation of consoles is around the corner (2020 probably) and launch a competitive system then. If they launch this thing too late in 8th gen or too early in 9th gen, it'll be irrelevant or too weak, respectively.

>>381607896
Atari probably isn't going to do well
It'll probably become like the Ouya, which granted, had its own flaws, but the fact still remained, it wasn't made by nintendo, sony, microsoft, or even sega. The problem with the ataribox is that it will be new, and noone trusts new things. And yes atari made home consoles before alot of us were born, but that was an incredibly long time ago, they're dealing with a new player-base, one that just can't trust new things
>>381604317
it's not just microsoft, big releases are fucked for every platform this gen. there's a handful of good games on each system and jack shit between them.
>>381608795

Atari literally went unknown by people who aren't informed on video game history in the 2000s, and its going to be like that until they finally advertise the ataribox

Probably an exception, but some kid I'm acquainted with (he's 14 or something) was telling me about how he wanted to buy an Atari 7800 but didn't have the cash so he bought a Flashback instead.
I still think Atari has some juice left in their name. Though some normie friends my age (21) don't know what Atari is, so idk

>Implying SEGA at their prime wasn't the grooviest cats around
It'll just be either Ouya 2.0 or some sort of steam pc shit. It's almost impossible for them to have any meaningful exclusives which means it has to be either android shit or be a more "user friendly" PC.
Almost any other possibility is either doomed to absolute failure or completely unrealistic.

of course these threads will stop once the NEXT FUCKING ATARI FLASHBACK comes out, which this is gonna be, something you will be able to play atari 2600,5200 and 7800 carts on your HD tv and end up in the trash in a week.
I highly doubt it will be an actual console with physical release games due to their lack of funds. But how could it be another emulation box? I mean haven't they made like 8 versions of that plug and play shit? I started out with Atari but trying to go back and play some of those games, they look fucking atrocious . Even most OG Nintendo games look like shit with there rust rainbow color pallet. Honestly SNES is the cut off for retro gaming for me.

If all of the shovelware on the wii and steam hasn't killed it, I doubt anything can.
If i was atari, i would just ask AMD politely for one of those Ryzen SoCs they're planning with 4GB of HBM.
With enough volume, that's a 100$ chip that is pretty much fast enough to run CoD (you know, the activision game), and do it for real cheap.
Also the weakest SoC AMD have in their plans is twice as fast CPU wise than the jaguar cores on PS4/PS4 pro/Xboxe/Xbone 90's

That's supposedly what Valve are doing for their next-gen Steam Machines, rumors have been circulating about them getting a Ryzen+Vega SOC for a while.
But they've also been publicly investing heavily in drivers for AMD hardware which is required since AMD's own official drivers are so bad.
Its possible this is just somebody building a gen-2 Steam Machine, slapping an Atari logo on it, and putting out some games for it. If they try to go on their own they'll have no games, and no drivers.
>>381613504
Goes even further back than that. PS2 may as well have caused it in the early 2000s with the sheer amount of shovelware it had. Video games are sustainable now.

>>381614252

>>381614282

>>381614224
Look at this comparison of AMD's official drivers vs the open source Mesa drivers that Valve has been backing.\
AMD's DirectX drivers may be barely capable of fending off Nvidia by throwing out massively more powerful cards at lower prices but that's not going to do anyone unwilling to pay Microsoft licensing fees on every unit sold any good.

If they could attract some of those start up devs who make those 15-30 indie titles on Steam they could probably break into the market with that. A lot of those games are niche and cult, but it could be those devs opportunity to sell on a platform without heavy piracy.
The industry's weakness right is Dev cycle speed and tech overturn. There are places to break in but they'll need to undercut, they can't come in on price without drawing hardware and feature comparisons and they won't have the user base to fight that.

Vulkan performance tends to be even better.

>>381616073
and you know this how?
>>381615680
Yes and no.
This Xbox will probably be their last dedicated console as they'll probably replace it with a slightly more functional in-house Windows 10 S living room machine in a few years.
The problem is Microsoft intends to make 10 S the default version of Windows and reduce all PCs to barely being more functional than a console.

Presented by Atari
Episode 1of 9
ET 2 when?
>>381616165
I know things
>>381616491
Atari themselves aren't working on anything for the Fire yet. I don't know if it'll launch with a first party exclusive.
>>381616567
We were talking about their partnership with Amazon and how they could make Prime benefits exclusive to the Fire (you know, the 20% off preorders), but nothing has been implemented yet.
>>381616663
>Boss Nigger theme song
Groovy
>>381615962
>laserdisc
Come on, this is the future. It needs future tech.
Give it a CompactFlash port.
Will we eventually get a crying Atari Wojack?
>>381617615
you mean this one?
It's going to be Atari's NES Classic. You won't see new games on it.
>>381615962
Where's the RF port?
>>381617686
Already exists.
>>381617615
Ruining my groove, man!
>>381617716
It's the coaxial.
>>381600874
>implying whatever Atari is shitting out will not either be an emulation focused set top box or Ouya 2.0
I just want a quality 2600 USB controller with woodgrain for PC emulation.
>>381617784
Yes, and that's what the Atari Box is going to be. It probably won't be made by AtGames, that would be the only difference. Just watch.
>>381617852
For some reason I always thought those were different things. Guess I'm just dumb.
>>381617242
too bad the movie's shit
This is the most unfunny meme ever and you retards should be embarrassed
>>381600874
If they are making one
Their launch titles better fucking have Godzilla
Or does Atari no longer have the Godzilla license
>>381600874
No.
It's another fucking 99999 in 1 plug-n-play box. Just like the Neo Geo X. Just like the NES Classic.
We have absolutely no reason to believe otherwise. What has Atari even done in the past 20 years except publish a few games?
I'm just going to throw out here a request for some image that combines Atari's RollerCoaster Tycoon and the disco song Roller Coaster of Love.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR9CRxY9Ne0
>>381618076
I miss my NeoGeo X. Despite it's flaws it was a fun handheld. The thumbstick was great and the rubber backing was fantastic. If only they scrapped the 16:9 screen and both speakers worked I would have kept it.
>not having Frojak wearing the Atari Mindlink
Fuck VR, Atari will have games that directly interface with you brain
>>381617952
>>381617952
It ain't cool being no jive turkey so close to thanksgiving
>>381615510
Jesus christ, AMD seriously needs to bring in some new driver engineers.
>>381617932
It's not a common name for RF.
>>381618986
The guys Valve has working on the open source stack are really earning their paychecks. The RadV Vulkan driver has been picking up speed. Its already as fast as or faster than the official AMD Vulkan driver in some tests and can be a lot faster than the Mesa RadeonSI OpenGL driver.
It just still needs more performance tuning as certain shader effects really slow it down right now.
>>381619462
Give it a rest, shill
>>381615919
>That ain't cool, man.
>>381619462
*accidentally doubles the driver performance*
is Atari really making another console or is this just Atari's Ouya
>>381619638
When the driver performance is shit to begin with, its easy to double.
Linux gaming on the PC is a joke
>>381620004
D3D11->OpenGL ports are a joke because its difficult to port software optimized to the extremely non-standard D3D workflow onto a Standard platform.
At least as far as high-level standards go. Once you have access to a low-level standard you can essentially remove the performance tax as seen in some of the Linux-exclusive Vulkan versions several of the newer Linux games have received.

I'm interested with the console but they have to work their asses if they want to stand big. This includes having a decent exclusive games and a good hardware.

>>381622475
I used to have an old synthesizer that used floppies for memory. Nothing made you feel retro like swapping out samples on floppies.

Literally zero chance this happens.

I'm new to disco/funk
teach me
>>381622523
Because the cykas didnt eve have atari during its prime.
>>381622475

Anyone here actually collect Laserdiscs or are you guys all just pretending?
>>381624531
Why call out anons when your meager collection cosists of Jojo's Meme Adventures? Where are you going with this?
>>381616663

>>381624841
idk man, I just picked songs I liked
but apparently, it's too mainstreem for mister fancypants here >>381622893
>>381624686
Just one more thing. Whats the funkiest laserdisc you can think actually of? Just a thought.
>>381624531
I considered it once but then realized that, much like vinyl records, I was only interested in the cool cover art.
>>381600874
If atari assblasts remasters some greats and has new ips with cool 3rd party support.
>>381600874
this is a really weird marketing angle but you gotta get with the times i guess.

This is the single best bait image I have ever seen and no none should attempt to prove me otherwise
>>381618725
We're 5 months away.
>>381600874
Atari hasn't existed in decades. Infogrames is just using the name for PR because they ran their own into the fucking ground. None of the same people work there, and I highly doubt the people that do work there are competent enough to launch anything that could stand up to the big three. They're just hyping up an Ouya clone or NES mini clone.Atari Wojack can stay tho.
>>381600874
Depends on what games it gets.
I doubt it, but anything can happen.
>ataribox e3

>HE WILL COOK, CLEAN, PLAY CATCH AND PLEASE YOUR WIFE
Your reaction?
>>381600874
It'll basically be an atari themed steambox. which will make it completely irrelevant and they'll be forced back into the shadows from wherever they were hiding. if they're going to make hardware they should focus on making quality games like pong 2 or something.
What are you cool cats listening to?

>>381627565
Well done! Saved to the archive.
>>381600874
If they have arcade games and/or old school style FPSes on it I'll buy one.
Imagine a system full of games like Perfect Dark or TimeSplitters 2.
The console isn't even out yet and there's tons of console war material already. Love it.
>>381627993
IT'S THE ULTIMATE MEME CONSOLE!

>>381629479
Sounds like Katamari music.
What kind of games do you guys want on this? If it ends up being a revival of 90s couch co-op (because I doubt Atari will be able to afford an extensive online infrastructure) then this could actually be a legit awesome system.
>>381622475
>3.5 inch floppy
Too modern.
>>381629307
It can and it will be mate
https://youtu.be/4cia_v4vxfE
There's no reason why this console shouldn't be represented by a hyper-80s character. Atari was way more of a 80s thing.
>>381629920
Perfect song for your post, m8.
>>381611147
Those are awesome.
>>381615919
Where's the love?
>>381629826
I want the games to have a distinct Atari aesthetic (look at the Art of Atari book) while still being modern, kinda like the Killer Instinct redesigns.
If Atari is a better OUYA ill be buying day one
They just need to have an android or java emulator to work. Competing with sony and xbone is no match.
Atari is making a Steam Box/Steam Machine. You've been warned.
>>381630707
Needs to include a disco ball some how.

Whats all this? did Atari actually announce something or are you all memeing?
>>381632671
They did better than announce something. they posted a memetic trailer with absolutely no real context. Jesus has returned, and his justice iswoodgrain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WNsmCpdhhY
>/v/ acting like they like atari
Be more contrarian why don't you, it'll make you stand out more. I think I speak for everyone when I see even if you were born in the early 80's, theres no way in hell you can appreciate that bleepity-bloop solid color mess when we have functional and well designed games nowadays. Even NES and N64 make Atari look like shit. All it reminds me of is these awful "8-bit" indie titles, and sorry to say but even those are better. Time has just moved on man.
>>381632863
It's so vague that it's beautiful.
ITT: Kids
Atari doesnt have the financing to jump back into the console ring and stay afloat you meme loving fucks. If Sega couldn't do it, Atari sure as hell can't.
Its probably just another Retron style flashback emulator that they'll sell online for a good price until Scalpers make it a $4000 spectacle like the NES mini
>>381633061
It will be glorious, or it'll bring the whole shitty mountain down. Of this, I am convinced. Either outcome will be groovy.

>>381625078
The two things that stand out in memory that I once owned are:
The original Tenchi Muyo OVA laserdisc
A set of three 'movies' that functioned like a video choose your own adventure book. Three themes (halloween, scifi, spring break) where it would play 1-5 min of video, then give you a choice or trivia question and you had to skip to the right spot on the disc based on your answer. Was really funky.
>>381633483

We know nothing yet I somehow can't see myself not buying it, even if it's a steambox or something. 500 bucks is my cap on it which it should be under. This blind buying also goes for sega if they ever decide to do something.
One thing is for absolute certain, the box itself will probably look sick.
Why are there people shilling for atari for fucks sake.
The majority of the time they were shit, same with the majority of their overpriced products.
Now they are nothing but a shadow of themselves.
You are lying to yourself if you think that atari will ever become relevant in the game industry again.
>>381635656

If they're aiming at any resemblance of good price, they will also go with AMD, but using Ryzen+vega shit instead of jaguar+gcn
It will be quite possible to get the same performance for cheaper, specially if they get HBM memory in the thing, because it will be literally one chip and shit to power it and connect it to the screen and controller.
