Why is Atari making a comeback?

[Dre Space Age]

How many losses before they give up?

New console based on PC. Not retro.

Would you cop?

Prepare To Be Disappointed By Whatever Atari's New Console Turns Out To Be

dead on arrival

 

[Ciggavelli]

Because they're stupid.

They've shown that time and time again

 

[PikaDaDon]

Maybe if it's a cheap nostalgia console like the mini NES or something.

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Further rumors, as of yet unconfirmed by Atari, say that this is not what you’re immediately thinking of, a retro console like the NES Mini or all the ones SEGA is trying to make that just plays a few ultra old-school Atari games. Supposedly this is a modern day piece of hardware made in tandem with a larger partner, one based on “PC technology” according to Chesnais, whatever the means, but past that, it’s unclear what we’re looking at here.

Woah, im intrigued.....

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

But why?

I can't even imagine how much money it would cost to enter the console market now.

 

[StatUS]

There's no way this is a current gen console. Only Google or Apple have the money to pull something like that off and they'd probably fail too.

 

[GreenGrass]

prepare to be disappointed but the system is not even out yet ?

do we know the specs of this system?

let atari eat




if atari can make a come back, then so can AKI aka Syn Sophia for wrestling games

 

[pete clemenza]

Atari bless us with one... please

I'm interested in seeing what they do, but I don't think anything is going to come of it. They've gotten out of bankruptcy and apparently have been doing well with mobile games, but the amount of money you'd have to sink into this... I don't see it happening.

Why won't Neo Geo return? when we were kids...Neo Geo could only be bought in the back ads of EGM and it was sold from Japan and would cost $599...ill never, ever forget that price. Nobody had it....no one on my block..at my schools..not the Asian kids..no one. Lol.

Mobile is the future if they are smart they'll focus on software

and making games/experiences for a mobile platform that are both fun, and useful
that could be used in wearables/phones/portable gaming systems etc.

Why not partner (for a limited time) with a team like HTC or some other hardware company that
is struggling for a piece of the pie as a way to test out how they can approach it from different angles

what I believe they SHOULD NOT do.. is try to be like Sony & Microsoft or even Nintendo..

who are stuck in the past making glorified cable boxes.
