-
If it's a steam box I'm with it.
-
should just focus on software
you not breaking into the console space at this point -
you never know..Atari May Surprise Us..cause they had some good ass games on the console.i wish they bring most of their games to the Future.I hope they bring the Adult Videos Games back like this one..
-
What the hell
-
I own a PS4, Backwards Compatible PS3, PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS XL, Xbox 360 and a Wii U
I'll pass -
Nah ? ....
-
? gon be trash
-
People so quick to dismiss anything that ain't Sony around these parts.
I'll laugh if this ? ends up being fire. -
I dont know how to feel about this. I was too young for atari so never had a connection with it, but Im always down for new video games. If this console comes with a new style and exclusive games then i may very well be interested in it.

Me. -
A life lesson.

Prolly just one of those small Nintendos but with Atari games
-
I'll see you on the switch servers in 2 months. I got too much other ? (music equipment and writing software) that I spend my money and time on right now to even bother with a console. Especially since those are endeavors that actually make me money. Not just for pleasure.
But yeah see you cats in August cause I tried to cop a switch twice to no success (quick sell outs) and just spent the cash on an ounce of weed instead.
I did have my steambox here and popping till I sent it over to the Dominican Republic last month. Which is why I cancelled my Steam account in the first place. -
It's not going to be a console. Dude just worded it in a way to get attention.

So it's just more new games published by them like they've been doing these last few years? -
Atari Panther
Atari Sparrow
Atari 65XEG
Atari 65XEM
Atari Jaguar Duo
and more...
Atari has a long history of announcing ? and never following through with anything; their vaporware portfolio is legendary. I'll believe it when I see it.
-
Might've been wrong. Seems like it might be more to it.
Can't post pics right now, but it looks like it might be some sort of PC based -
So it's a console
-
I see the console, but where the games at?
This gens asteroids is gonna be insane -

Gamers have been wondering what Atari was thinking when they announced they were making a new console. Finally, we're starting to see what was on their mind.
Atari showed off the exterior of their box and discussed some of the principles around its design in a newsletter published online. There wasn't any mention of specific specs or what kinds of games the Ataribox would play, although the newsletter did mention that there would be two editions - a black/red version and a wood version - and the console would come with an SD card slot, HDMI output and four USB ports. The images also show an ethernet port at the back, and what looks like a headphone jack/line out.

Damn it looks nice.
But perhaps the most interesting aspect of the newsletter, however, is this line:
As you can guess, those ports suggest modern internal specs. It also means that while we will be delivering classic gaming content, we will also be delivering current gaming content.
The post went on to suggest that "there are a lot of milestones, challenges and decision points in front of us in the months ahead", perhaps indicating that the console won't be ready for release in 2017. But as we find out more, we'll keep you posted.
The full newsletter is as follows:

Our objective is to create a new product that stays true to our heritage while appealing to both old and new fans of Atari.
Inspired by classic Atari design elements (such as the iconic use of wood, ribbed lines, and raised back); we are creating a smooth design, with ribs that flow seamlessly all around the body of the product, a front panel that can be either wood or glass, a front facing logo, indicator lights that glow through the material, and an array of new ports (HDMI, 4xUSB, SD). We intend to release two editions: a wood edition, and a black/red edition.
As you can guess, those ports suggest modern internal specs. It also means that while we will be delivering classic gaming content, we will also be delivering current gaming content.
We know you are hungry for more details; on specs, games, features, pricing, timing etc. We’re not teasing you intentionally; we want to get this right, so we’ve opted to share things step by step as we bring Ataribox to life, and to listen closely to Atari community feedback as we do so. There are a lot of milestones, challenges and decision points in front of us in the months ahead. We’ll be giving you lots more information and status updates as we progress, and we are thrilled to have you along for the ride!
Hope you like where we are taking this, we’ll be in touch soon.
The Ataribox Project team.
