This is why I will never back anything like Kickstarter or indegogo. You can keep your snake oil and fund your nice suits on some other mugs cash, ta.

Crowdfunding is great for some things, but funding the development of a console for a corporation is not one of them.Comment

You’ll see EA trying to fund raise the dev of fifa soon.Comment

Personally, I love it when a crowdfunding project goes wrong. Only if I'm not a backer though!
I mainly back boardgames and there's been a few that have gone terribly wrong, most recently Evil Dead.
Anyone who still has money invested in that new Atari after absolutely no evidence of progress deserves to lose it.Comment

So the board game guy has just pissed off with the money and no one can do anything about it????Comment

Yeah, pretty much.Originally posted by Colin View Post
A couple of other faves includes the 3D printer guy who built a house with the funds:
A well-known magician put out one recently for a three Dice cup set for the classic cups and balls, raised £20,000 for it from 200 magicians (it wasn't cheap), now one year late and he was spotted on holiday in the Caribbean drinking cocktails on his FB page.Comment

Apparently its going to launch with shenmue 3 & the ff7 remake.Comment

I think the thread title really needs changing at this point.
No one was surprised that day. Although getting a Ryzen chip (not specific as to which one) is a good upgrade from the previous gen chips they were using. However, you'd be much better off just building your own Ryzen PC.Comment

What surprised me is that the comments on Indiegogo about the delay are quite positive: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a...fore#/comments
Sure it might all be fine, but like you say how many times do we see it all go pear shaped?Comment

Got to say i am really really not sure why a upgrade was needed, sure its good to have but what was there was more then enough then what was needed and hearing rumors of Ataris finances i am thinking it will not come outComment

Still on track for release apparently: the VCS will use AMD's new R1000 SoC, a rather powerful 2 core (4 with HT) at around 3 Ghz with Vega 3 integrated graphics at around 1 Ghz (clocks depend on SoC version). The announcement didn't come from Atari but from AMD.Comment

Not dead yet, actually fine.
Today Atari announceda new partnership with Antstream Arcade. As the name implies, it's an online service that gives access to "more than 500 games and apps", according to Antstream themselves.
However the VCS will only have access to 50 of such games and apps, with more to come in the following months.
The service will be free for 3 months, after that it's $10/month. The price is in line with platforms Antstream Arcade is already available on, only with 10 times more stuff available.Comment

Hilarious that indiegogo shut down their uk arm, to avoid getting sued over the spectrum vega + saga. Crowdfunding is for total mugs!Comment

Comments limited to backers who've parted with their money, desperately hoping it'll be great and that they're not going to be ripped off, yet when they sleep, those secret doubts creep in like a serial cat burglar.Originally posted by Digfox View Post
The direction they've decided to go with this means it's little more than an overpriced streaming box at this point.
Edit: Pricing starts at $249.99 for the Atari VCS 400 (4GB) Onyx Base model and goes up to $389.99 for one of three Atari VCS 800 (8GB) “All-In” system bundles that include the Atari VCS Classic Joystick (available separately for $49.99) and Atari VCS Modern Controller ($59.99),
Make that massively overpriced.Last edited by MartyG; 02-10-2019, 07:42.Comment
