Atari is announcing it's creating the first official 2600 release since 1990
No joke
Atari releases first official 2600 game since 1990
>mfw euro gays call 2D platformers run and jumps
Atari is now french unfortunately
Can't stop, won't stop the mighty Atari
Kings of the video game industry.
Forever will they reign
Hon hon hon le groovy
*Infogrames
Infogrames makes shit games.
Run and jumps
Point and shoots
Fish and chips
Tap and writes
Tick and bongs
loicence and tellies
seed and feeds
suck and fricks
McDinakds also just released a Game Boy Color game for Grimaces birthday. They even have a ROM file you can download to run in emulators.
Love this shit like you wouldn't believe. Frick all those indie losers making psx games that are just pc games
Homebrew games have been around for a long while.
But yeah, indies just slapping Unity shaders on mis-matched poly/texture res models always looks bad and cheap.
What about PC games that have actual custom engines
As fun as programming for old consoles is there's a reason they got more powerful, the PSX has a single megabyte of vram of which 1/3 is already taken by the screen plus you can't just store textures wherever they have to be aligned in 256x256 pages, I'd rather just make a PC game with a similar aesthetic
I just think it's lame to ape the limitations of old consoles while using modern hardware.
>modern hardware
Jokes on you what i have of my engine works on windows 98 and I test on a shitty dell dimension from 2002
Damn that was effective marketing, now they even have morons like you spreading their shit for them.
It looks cute tho ngl
SOUL.
SOUL

SO

bump
I will play it on my rg35xx when it arrives
That doesn't look durable at all. I'll bet a single cat bite would render that machine inoperable.
I love my kitties 🙂
God, cats are great.
>also releases on new consoles
Doesn't count. Spinless cowards
It counts homosexual
Neat.
kek is it the exact same game on all platforms?
Nah it's a port of a modern game
yes
GROOVYBROS WE'RE BACK IN FUNKY TOWN
NO WE AINT
Is this retro shit seriously going to come so full circle they start making consoles and the games again
Atari has been coasting on their already-owned-IPs for longer than most of Ganker has been alive. They've just been remaking their popular 80s games for over thirty fricking years now.
>since 1990
What the frick came out in 1990?
Klax
For some reason i always associated this game with chiclets gum.
The w what
me out of my moms hoo-ha
Atari hasn't existed for over 20 years. The company that bought out their trademarks and IP are not Atari, their name is Infogrames and they have no power to declare anything "official" for Atari no matter what the law says.
It's fricking atari,
The Og atari was bought out a year after its founding,
it still atari
Infogrames is not Atari and they never will be.
just accept it
NO!
ITS LEGALLY ATARI
IT OWNS EVERYTHING ATARI
IT MAKES ATARI CONSOLES
ACCEPT IT
ACCEPT THIS DICK homosexual
Get bent Black folk
>moronic cuck
MDR.
no you
You're fricking stupid. Infogrames is laughed at in France because how terrible they are.
They released a new console
They released an Atari-shaped box of LIES.
I know a man who owns one
It's a nice little linux box.
Yeah it's okay
They made the only good Godzilla games on GameCube and XBOX way back when, give them some credit.
Yeh but most of their games are horrible.
Btw here is the actual game
Looks like shit. Why would anyone want to make an Atari 2600 game today? They all suck. NES and Master System are the furthest back you can go while still having engaging gameplay.
There's at least 4 good looking atari games people play
That game is actually 3D somehow. I remember narrowly avoiding enemy fire, turning to watch the blinking pixel of death whizz on by me. Blew my damn mind.
Why don't these nostalgia-bait games ever try to imitate the actual impressive games from the system that pushed the limits of the hardware?
Writing well-optimized MOS 6502 code with basically no RAM or ROM is a lost art.
Pong is fun. There's dozens of golden age arcade games (pre-1983) that blow 95% of the NES library out of the water
Arcade games, yes. Atari 2600 games? Not so much.
There's some fun 2600 games
>what is seaquest
>what is yars' revenge
>what is frostbite
>what is keystone kapers
>30+hours of gameplay
Most of the games back then extended gameplay by being brutally hard. An expert could usually complete them in 10-30 minutes. What does that mean for this title?
My replacement Yars' Return cart works just fine and I got the swag that otherwise came with the deluxe edition for free as an apology. I was almost tempted not to send back the defective copy though, it made an oddly rad screech and funky glitch display.
This is cool but are they going to restock this version of the game or release it digitally in the future? The selling point of it being the first 2600 game in God knows when makes it seem like something that would be impossible to buy after like a week.
That 30+ hours of gameplay detail is referring to the modern version of the game, article says the 2600 version has six worlds with 80 levels.
They're just doing it made to order
>2017
Nostalgia works for one or two waves and that's it.
Nostalgia always works
"Nostalgia" as a general concept does, but nostalgia for individual eras or thins doesn't.
Well
Don't forget that infogrames is known to be a literal kusoge company. They haven't made a single good game during their existence.
Are they going to re-release the console or any of the old games? Can we just reboot previous generations of consoles and let people make games for them?
https://atari.com/collections/shop
on their shop you can buy 2600 games
for 99 dollars
First official game in over 3 decades, eh? And what do they release? The most bland, modern, globohomo, uninspired design I've ever seen in my life. And on 2600? I'm already asleep.
Looks like a being whose limbs are made of penis's. Also, reminds me of Glover.
>Atari
You mean Infogrames.
Of course the background is rainbow
by the time you have learned the controls, I will be inside you 🙂
>"Atari"
Kino is back on the menu
>indie precision platformer with spikes everywhere
*yawn
Oh god
It looks like an uglier and worse VVVVVV
>*also on PS5 and Switch
Yawn. sage
Ywnbaw, downvote.
Will the game be good?
Who cares it makes Nintenjerks seethe and puts fear in the heart of Activision that Atari will get their revenge and buy them from under Microsoft and put ABK back into slavery like in the 70'@
Grrovy
I fricking hate Jack Tramiel so much
Who even has a 2600 in this day and age? Who would want one? Atrai games are pretty shit when you actually look at them
I got a Vader and a Jr. What now homosexual?
>40 posters
>99 posts
Obvious coordinated shill campaign considering they’ve shilled here before. No one is going to buy your trash French-Kun, everyone knows you’re not the same company and someone using the skin of the old one
>more games than the PS5
Didn't Atari release Aquaventure on a cartridge like a year ago?
