vcoleiro1 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I still don't see Atari listed in the GDC exhibitor list. Maybe they are just making the announcement during the same time, or maybe they will be at AMDs booth ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcoleiro1 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Smach were at AMDs booth showing their AMD powered Smach Z at the last big conference a few weeks ago. So there is a chance Atari will do the same sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetick1 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) I still don't see Atari listed in the GDC exhibitor list. Maybe they are just making the announcement during the same time, or maybe they will be at AMDs booth ? Gee why am I not surprised ? I doubt AMD is willing host Atari as Atari surely should have their own booth. Seriously look at all the no name companies at GDC that can afford a booth surely Atari could afford a measly small booth.

CPUWIZ Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 It's gonna be another render in a video, playing in AMD's booth, to tout the chip. I am sure that'll make the stock go through the $1 roof. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that'll make the stock go through the $1 roof. Expect the company principals to bail out at $1.02, at which point it should return to its approximate worth closer to nil.

PlaysWithWolves Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 One might think Atari would be excited and be using social media to announce things. Well, one would be mistaken. Below are the sites to check for news. Or check the Atari investors' press release page, since that's how they announced the whole GDC thing in the first place. @Atari Twitter -- no mention that campaign starts on 12/14/17.@Atariboxproject Twitter -- no mention.@Ataribox Instagram -- no mention.Ataribox.com -- no mention.Ataribox Indiegogo -- no mention.AtariboxOfficial Facebook -- While looking all these up, they "unpinned" 12/14/17 cover photo that was at the top of the page. It can still be found here, as of this writing.Every tech/gamer website on the Internet: OMG 12/14/17! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hunch is that they're not using Social media because the general public (IE, paying customers) are not their concern right now. This is all pandering to potential investors and publishers. The actual market is, at best, a distant afterthought. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I wouldn't expect a massive announcement on this. My understanding is this is Atari showing off the Ataribox to some developers to garner interest in them developing for the platform. More business than social announcement. That said, this is also the first chance people who aren't Atari can look at the box and see what kind of state it is in. I suspect we won't see a big social push until they are closer to being ready to take orders or preorders. That said, I dunno why I bother in this thread, as it's just full of anti-Atari haters and taco trolls. Have fun being lame, though. Maybe there could be a place for people to actually talk Ataribox without the off-topic nonsense? Or maybe a forum where people who like Atari can hang out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/19/atari-unveils-atari-vcs-its-first-home-game-console-in-9-years/ Nice! They continue to really nail (in my opinion) the look of this thing. If it arrives actually looking like that, I'll be quite happy. Not surprisingly we still don't know what the internals are, nor software specifics, although that's probably in part because they hope to bring in some names through closed-door meetings at GDC. But man that joystick and console look sweet. I remain cautiously optimistic, though. I don't think this will be a budget-wise purchasing decision, more of a premium version of something people may already have with cool Atari branding. I for one hope it does well on streaming and multi-player. If it has that down along with cord-cutter options like Vudu, Hulu, Pluto, Tubi, etc., I'll be happy with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
