ATARI ALWAYS WINS BABY

WE'RE BACK, BABY
> AMD processor with Radeon graphics and a Linux OS
IMA FIRING IN MAH LAZOOOOOOOOOOOR!
So a steambox? It might have a chance depending on the pricing
$300 is what they are saying. if it really functions as an entry level gaming pc then it sounds like a good deal.
They still haven't told us what games it will have.
>AMD processor with Radeon graphics and a Linux OS
plays like an NES classic, so the old 2600 catalogue at the very least
groove mind
>mfw
This piece of shit will be dead in the wter on release
it's literally just an ouya with bubsy
>2600 catalogue
t. brainlet
This but unironically.
We all know what it will be.
Fun for all the family!
>buzzwords
>"Radeon graphics" and "AMD processor" as if stating a brand name is sufficient to describe the console's computing power
Be cautious, ataribros, this sort of marketing behavior is typically a red flag.
MORE GROOVEPOSTING
So, big question: aside from Alone in the Dark, what other franchises are Atari having at the moment wich will probably bevome exclusives to this new console?
nintendo was also extremely vague about the nintendo switch prior to release. But i agree with you.
And wasn't every thread doomsaying about the switch?
Jive turkeys need not apply
atari never had a lot of exclusives, they didn't need to curate 1st party stuff much because they made up like 80% of the home console marketshare. all their biggest games were made by activision.
Fuck yeah Ataribro's unite
I have a folder of over 120 Atari pictures

>AtariCoin
I'm not seeing the connection here but I know there has to be one.
>interesting twist
Are you a time traveller from 6 months ago?
They absolutely will
Lmao, can you imagine if this new thing gets popular and Activision is lured into signing an exclusitivity contract with Atari for future CoDs? The shitstorm would be insane.
the whole atari library takes up less space then like 5 of those photos
Cool
apparently the ataribox will be able to run steam on it.
Any exclusive games?
b-b-but...le groovy..
they had to sell the rights to all their exclusives when they went bankrupt a few years ago.
I was looking for that video but I had no idea what to search for.
I'm kind of out of touch with the current memes, what's with the disco stuff?
When Atari announced their Ataribox a few months ago Sup Forums went nuts.
atari got it's start in the 70s and haven't really been relevant since 1983. so natural atari wojak is a disco dude with an afro.
But atari didn't become a thing until disco was already in the decline and the 2600 didn't come out till 5~ years after disco was completely dead.
Underage think disco and Atari had overlap.
But the design was too good to pass up.
yeah but nobody on Sup Forums was alive when atari was really a thing.
years*
...My sister's 2600 was my first gaming system
i mean i played one at my grandpa's house as a kid and enjoyed it but i'd hardly say i grew up with atari. only reason i'm interested is that i find the idea of resurrecting a dead brand amusing.
If it was your sister's then it wasn't your system you dumb communist shit.
It was last summer dude.
My sister was 16 and too old for vidya at that point, so yes, it was essentially mine.
Is this actually a new console or is it just one of those mini old console remakes?
I think this Ataribox will be just another Ouya, but I do enjoy this Atari guy meme, please keep posting.
same, funky soul wojack is better than the actual console will end up being. I hope the failure won't kill the meme
Damn who created Atari wojack?
Looks bad ass as fuck lol
Atari platforms were never good, if you wanted to play games in that era you went to the arcade, or played on PC, but PC to a much lesser extent in that era. My cousin had an Atari, it's best game was a poorly made port of Super Mario Bros.
More Groovy wojak please. Literally the only wojak edit I like.
confirmed for having never played Joust
I never really played PC games from that era but Arcades was definitely where it was, you can still pick up and play Arcade games from that era today, can't say the same for Atari games. Even C64 to a lesser extent, then you get into the Nes and Amiga, that's when gaming really came home. at least from what I've played.
umm... and switch was underpowered piece of shit
Who is this even for? It's too expensive for the people who just want a mini Atari like the mini Nintendo products, and the specs are too weak for the people that want a Steam box. So their market is.. Atari fans that only play pre-2010 pc games?
Joust was an arcade game first.
Source on specs?
Yeah but funk survived, people still rocking funk.
Let me install Gentoo on this thing and I'm in.
I'd say this is the only one worth saving if all Atari posters weren't ironic.
I just wanna see this funk guy come to the stage to dance and then scream ATARI IS BACK BABY and then they release the trailer or whatever video they had made.
I'd love it if the modern Atari box arts looked like this
i don't know if you noticed or not user but the Atari VCS doesn't have a disk reader.
Finally, we are getting the true version of the Xbone instead of the watered down PS4 we got.
Ye!
daily reminder that the CEO of atari was also previously involved in the creation of infestation:survivor stories. He is a literal charlatain
I've been out of the loop. So Atari is trying to enter into the current console market?
Do they have their own dev studio to make exclusive titles? Most shit is multi-plat now.
beat it, square
What games will be on it?
>mfw it fails and they become irrelevant again
The industry cant even support Microsofts presence anymore, let alone old Nintendo with Sony raping everything. What niche does Atari possibly think they can fill?
Unfortunately they're not do anything that crazy, they're just releasing a glorified nes classic that can also play low spec pc games.
for real, they had to crowdfund a rerelease of roller coaster tycoon. they don't have the money to enter the actual console market.
>linux
Enjoy your Minecraft gaming OS
Amerisharts produced nothing of value in the last decade and this will be no exception.
Said like someone who has no clue of how Linux works
CEO is french, it isn't even american anymore.
So, it really is a VCS...
Isn't Atari a French company now? Infogrames or something.
