This thing will basically wind up being an emulator box. It runs Linux, so the emulation community will turn it into something that will run every classic game under the sun. A shame it's gonna be so expensive, because it does look cool. Also, as other people have said, it's obviously going to run Steam. As for it becoming a success? Oh, hell no, it's going to flop big time.

Sure you are right Mana, but this is more likely to have a tied down front end. Unless it has for example the Play Store, installing things outside of the available market (assuming Steam) will involve doing things beyond most users. No matter how simple you make it. Related to what I feel is linux's biggest barrier, using the console. (edit) the reason I mentioned steam not having minecraft, is also to highlight the already suspect marketing from the creators.

Trouble is, they only have a licence to use the name,logo and maybe a few first party games. To have every Atari game on there legally would cost a fortune in licensing, if it were even possible to track down every licence holder for games whose publisher disappeared 20-30 years ago. Thery could go down the `get your own roms for the thing` route, but then why buy this overpriced white elephant when a cheap raspberry pi or android box can do the same for a fraction of the price? Also, Is the Atari brand even relevant anymore? Im struggling to think of a single Atari console game that would hold my attention for more than a few minutes. Paying a few quid for a compilation disk or cheap plug n play is the logical way to legally play these games, and theres always the pc emulation option. So yeah, this thing, at the price its going for will fail due to a lack of a market at the price point they are aiming for.

I posted something very similar to this on an RGT85 video. Why would you buy this for $250-$300 when you can buy the "Atari Flashback Classics" for PS4 and/or Xbox One (which already has all your streaming services) for dirt cheap? Plus you know names like PlayStation and Microsoft already have and will continue to come out with excellent exclusives. Their are 2 volumes with 50 games on each volume. You should get your Atari fix off that unless their is a rare gem that you want to play then just emulate it. Unless this ends up having some great exclusives for it just bury it in its grave now.

that's the thing, there have been compilations of old Atari games and such for years, where you'll get like 30 of the best classics. Not quite sure what Infrogames is suggesting one would get out of the Ataribox that's different than, say, the Ouya- beyond a woodgrain and literally the name "Atari"

It's main competition is the Shield TV. With the Shield TV I get streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, Vue, etc.) Game streaming (Nvidia service or from my own PC.) Emulation and it can also be a Steam Box. And with the announcement that a remote only Shield TV is coming at $170 the Ataribox is already behind. The pricing would have to be in the 120-150 range to have a shot at making an impact. There is a market for this kind of box, but again not at that price.

Okay from my perspective, this is awesome. I was in the process of designing and building my own "All in one" emulator console when I started to hear whispers of this console. I still have the plans but don't intend on making it, because this will be essentially what I was going to build but (hopefully) better quality and better finishing. I'm sure this will be "hackable" or w/e you want to call it and if you can hook up or install a bigger hard drive this could be a pretty sweet EMU box for people. Sure you can build them for less than $250 but this would be something I'd be willing to pay around that price for. Edit: People threw money at tons of dumber "consoles" (Ouya anyone?) for that price bracket. I guess we won't know till we see it.

Why don't these assholes ever put their money into something constructive, like replacement SNES shells? There's money to be made in retro games, but you have to listen to people and see what's in demand, not create some flashy product that nobody asked for and then try to convince everyone there's a niche for it. A great example of a company doing things the RIGHT way is Hyperkin. They don't just listen to their dealers and gamers, they actively encourage people to make suggestions for new products. That's how we ended up with that SNES mouse that they just came out with.
@mountaindewslave6 жыл бұрын
Hyperkin is a prime example, their Gameboy phone cover device is genius. I think it's obvious the guys who obtained the Atari branding/name (Infrogames?) just have gotten out of touch with how valuable the IP is and genuinely think that the Atari name is enough to pull people in to a completely un-unique device. The strange thing is they seem to have forgotten that from the mid 80s until like 2000 that didn't work, when Atari was still a very recognized name, so why would it work now

You're putting words in my mouth. I never said that I want it to fail. I never even said that I thought it was a scam. I'm just frustrated with stuff like this. There are real niches to be filled and problems to be solved in the hobby, and instead of doing a little homework to find out what people actually want, these guys insist on wasting time and resources doing things that have already ended in colossal failure. We don't want or need a wimpy computer to play indie games. The Ouya already proved that, but at least that thing was sold at a reasonable price. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they know something we don't, and it'll all work out for them. I hope it does, I'm not so petty that I wish failure upon someone trying to make money in a seemingly honest way. But the fact that they think your typical tween knows what the Atari 2600 even was or that "Minecraft" isn't already on everything from PC to those screens that run ads on gas pumps is very telling. I don't think they have any idea what they're doing.

Who are they aiming this thing at anyway? Is there anyone who wants to play atari 2600 games on a modern telly that hasnt done so with a rpi or kodi box, plug n play, one of the many consoles that have atari collections or cheap mini pc? I cant see many people even wanting to play such primitive games, I havnt found a single game on the system thats held my interest for more than a few minutes. Same goes for the 400/800/5200/7800 and jaguar, no one really cares about those systems anymore. Atari as a brand is pretty much dead as well, most people only know them from the crap asteroids and alone in the dark reboots or top 10 worst console lists thanks to the jaguar. The guys behind this are also pretty shady with a history of lying and ripping off backers so I doubt the final product will be anything more than some cheapo chinese kodi box with an atari logo on the front.

There is only two companies that can potentially step back into the console market these days and that's Atari and Sega.

I also hope they do the name proud and excited they're using a Linux based OS, lets hope it also kicks Sega's ass into gear again. I feel these companies are realizing the retro scene is coming back and in high demand especially with Sonic Word and Nintendo's route

From what I can tell it will be a cheap mid grade PC that runs Linux. But Atari's also including emulators with all of their old back catalog of Atari games pre-installed with it. The operating system for this Atari Box will use its own custom desktop environment like SteamOS, but probably also include a desktop side that will allow users to install Linux applications Such as Steam for Linux as well as Linux games from GOG and Humble Bundle.

I think if they bundled every Atari pc, console, and arcade game ever made into one console that supports hdmi for $60, I would be interested. The most fancy future I can imagine is being able to go online to play multiplayer games with friends, compare high scores with your friends (Most Atari games are high score based), and have a online high score leader board for all players that own it. Perhaps have yearly tournaments or something if you really want to pump it up. I'd imagine all these things would peak people's interest. However the direction they are going with this defeats the purpose of making a Atari console to begin with unless they plan on making a crap ton of Atari exclusive triple A titles in which we all know they won't

Here's the thing. I agree with you guys that the Ataribox is probably gonna fail. But i actually hope it does not, and i'll probably be doing my part by getting one and giving it the benefit of doubt. Why? Well, i don't care about minecraft, i don't care about terraria or whatever the fuck it's called. Heck, depending on the controller options, i won't even care for playing the classic Atari games on it. What i DO care about, and what i WOULD want, is that Atari gets back in the game, and starts bringing newer versions of their classic games out. As well as all new titles. This could very well be a stepping stone to that, but only if people are willing to give it a chance. I think it'll become rather clear to Atari, rather fast, that people won't be buying it for minecraft, but rather, for the potential of something brand new from a very nostalgic brand name. I don't think any young people will buy it at all in fact, i think it'll be naive old farts, like myself, who's hoping that Atari could get back to their glory days of old. Hoping in vain, sure, probably, but hoping none the less. :)

If they manage to pull off the UI right, it would actually be a good alternative to consoles. Steam Machines were expensive and had a confusing lineup.

And if it ends up using an AMD Raven Ridge APU (Ryzen Cores, Vega Graphics), it would actually be relatively powerful (at least as powerful as a PS4). So in a way, this AtariBox *could* be a Steam Machine done right.

I was a little boy during the 1980s, and I remember well playing the Atari games. Why anyone would want to play those Atari games when options like The Witcher 3 et al are available is really quite the question for the ages. Whilst I will cheerfully argue that gameplay is a sadly neglected and frustrating element in modern videogames, every experience I have had with playing the old games has shown me that once I get past the nostalgia factor, the older a game is, the less it has to recommend it. ReviewTechUSA said it best. If "Atari" want this product to sell well, they are going to need to get exclusive content on it. Games, particularly. Get a few devs to make some games that are exclusive to the Ataribox, and it is in with a shot.

I was born in 1975 and as a 80's pop culture fan and a retro gamer, the Atari name brand has a strong nostalgic appeal to me. The only appeal that the Ataribox has for me so far is it's design and that it runs on an AMD cpu with a Radeon gpu, as this seems like it will make a pretty sweet DIY emulation system to tinker with. If I can install windows, and thus run LaunchBox on it, I'm sold. Especially if it comes with some exclusive games. I am aware that my interests in the Ataribox is very niche, so ya the Ataribox sounds like just another OUYA. And I hope it succeeds and fails in the same way so I can get this dirt cheap.😏

Pre-owned content is probably limited to Linux-compatible Steam/GOG games.

Xbox One S is 250 and plays new games and 4K streaming. Apple TV is like $170 and has 4K itunes movies and streaming and it plays minecraft and sonic CD. DOES THE ATARI BOX TEAM KNOW ABOUT THESE PRODUCTS AND THERE PRICES? DO THEY LIVE IN A CAVE?

at least they aren't just laser engraving "Amiga" on a small-formfactor PC case..

Someone should make a video game with Pat as the mine character as he is doing odd jobs for Ian and Frank. It will be Pat going out to collect all the games he can and for him to get money to get that game at the flea market that he needs for his collection Iran and Frank would have him get things they have been looking for themselves but could find. Frank would have pat looking for old comics, dvd movies and music records. Ian would have Pat to get him other video games that his customers want but he doesn’t have them. The enemies would be other game collectors and people that want too money for their games at flea market or other game shops.

A 250 linux box is kind of a cool idea, no doubt it will be locked way the fuck down though.

Since it's Linux based, the only thing they could lock down is the GUI. And they've already stated you'll be able to play games from other stores, like Steam and GoG.

For 300 bucks, does it even come with a controller?

I would get it, if it had hundreds of the best 2600 games, 5200, and 7800 games, and can also play the paddle games, AND was around 100 dollars. That would be worth it. I don't need a device for buying more games or watching videos, I have enough of those already. A nice looking device with Atari games already setup and ready to go, that would be great. It doesn't need the extra stuff, just keep it basic, affordable, and full of great games. I would then buy it.

If wanting a good aftermarket 5200 controller makes you insane then call me certifiable.

Wasn't Yars Revenge one of their most popular games?
