cyangames	Ataribox Reveal So, here it is then --> www.funstockretro.co.uk/news/ataribox-atari-reveal-their-newest-console/ I like the woodgrain version, that's pretty nice. But It has that android-box suspciousness about it. Fingers crossed it'll be awesome though. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Semi-reveal! They've shown us pics, but damnit, I want to know if I can Monkey on it!!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

GfK	It's an ugly-looking bugger, init?
Mon, 17 Jul 2017, 14:40
Jayenkai	The woodgrain one is woodgrain. That makes it instantly better looking than any other current-gen console, even the Switch! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

GfK	hugs his PS4

rockford	It's fucking ugly and no amount of glossy renders will make it anything but. It'll be a dust magnet and impossible to keep clean (although it'll just be stuffed back in its box and stuck in the loft pretty sharpish). It's sell like hotcakes, but be on life-support for a few months then forgotten.

Pakz	I think it looks rather nice But I wil be getting a ps4 or better as the next console.

GfK	The 2600 was a dust-trap as well.

spinal	Still not interested.

Jayenkai	Imagine if it was just like the OUYA, but backed by Atari.. Imagine if it was that easy to code for, and you could do a nice big version of Sensitive, but have it played by an actual audience, this time!!! .... I really hope I can Monkey it! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I'm pretty sure it will be EXACTLY like OUYA. Only worse. \|edit\| BTW I really liked the OUYA, despite its many faults.
Tue, 18 Jul 2017, 03:31
Jayenkai	Indeed. Got this in my "another sodding OUYA game approved" email, this week. Focusing on mobile isn't a bad thing, just don't forget about android all together. TeamOUYA might not be much of a Team anymore, but they give a crap -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Dabz	I might have to get one... Basically just to smash the shit out of the thing... It'll be a joy! Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

spinal	A higher spec raspberry pi, just what people want... -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

9572AD	Why the fuck sell a $300 Linux micro with an "Ataribox" client pre-installed but also lets you use Steam or whatever? Why not just let me download an "Ataribox" client to my own buggering PC what I already cunting well have? If this thing had been an AndroidTV or suchlike I may have given it a go, but this is just stupid. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

Jayenkai	Totally not what I expected, especially the price. ... and wtf is with the crowdfunding?! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	What a total pile of wank.

steve_ancell	Jayenkai and wtf is with the crowdfunding?! I won't be backing this one either, I saw what happened with the ZX Vega Plus saga. I only pay for products that are actually released.

Jayenkai	Ataribox is now known as AtariVCS. Original controller design = Red button, black stick, gold circle around stick to highlight the stick. New controller fucks that design up its own arse by trying to "lookâ€ like the original, without realising the bloody point. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Dabz	Wouldnt surprise me if atari tried to sue anyone who attempted to make a more ergonomic joystick then that chod there! Knob heads Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

rockford	It doesn't really matter what they do to it, it's stll going to flop. Hard.

cyangames	So, there's a 2600 controller and an xbox 360 controller there. At least they seem to be full size controllers, unlike those teensy tiny joycons and yes , I know there's a pro controller.. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
