    LOL. "Great info" on two games that are in development for non-VCS platforms.

     

    I've made this point before, but in a universe where Atari has a working system, or had intended to have a working system, a title like Roller Coaster Tycoon would be touted ad nauseaum as a killer app and a launch title for the VCS. But here we are almost two and a half years after this thing was announced, less than two months before it's supposed to go to backers and they've got Atari Vault and Antstream...not even a hint that their revolutionary new gaming UnConsole will have their flagship IP on it.

     

    hint hint!  

    Well they say that's what they got but we haven't seen any proof that they even actually got what they say they got!

     Also, I am SUPER glad I stopped supporting the project and just stopped giving a shit before that "Atari VCS Supporters" group was made. Eeeuughh..... that situation is just weird...

    Technically unless you get your money back,  you are still supporting the project :)

    Had that conference appearance with the showroom model accomplished anything, like Woz saying how good/great/not vaporware it looked, or even convincing ol' Steve invest some capital into a company that previously ripped him off five grand, we certainly would've heard something by now. With how things are looking Atari would be jumping on any positive press they have, especially with their PR UberStrategists pulling stuff like this.

    It's never a good look, but Atari SA and their crack PR team has been nothing if not tactless. Expecting them to handle critical comments or legitimate concerns in any reasonable fashion (y'know, like consummate professionals?) is like asking a bucket of water to evaporate: they'll eventually do it, but only under enough heat and pressure.

    It's also possible that presenters signed an agreement not to use Woz to peddle their projects after the conference. I'm sure Woz isn't stupid and knows how much validity he can give to a brand just by standing there holding something not to mention wearing a hat.
