Welcome to the Unofficial Official Nintendolife Atari thread! With all the news about the Atari VCS as of late, I thought this would be a great thread to have around. But, that’s not all, if there’s any news about any new games coming to Switch, XBOX 1, or PS4 made by Atari, this would be a great place to post it.

I want it to be cool, but I'm not getting my hopes up until we see something real.

I love Atari.

The real Atari.

Atari has not been Atari for decades.

F these license-holder peoples.

Thus Spoke the Shpydar, all other opinions are irrelevant.

Nevermore.

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

I think @the_shpydar is right. What is called "Atari" today is just a group of licence holders. Do they even produce any content these days?

@Heavyarms55 From what I can tell it looks like they just publish games and don’t develop any in house.

EDIT: Maybe the Atari VCS is being made by Atari?

@Mrtoad I'd have to do some reading, I don't know enough about it to be honest.

Atari VCS will ship with 8 GB of RAM compared to the previously announced 4 GB of RAM. The Atari VCS be powered by an AMD Bristol Ridge family APU with Radeon R7 graphics. 25% of the RAM will not be used by the system. Atari VCS’s core architecture will use a custom Linux Kenel Atari called AtariOS.

I knida feel like his "25%" comment stems from maybe a little bit of butthurt from past employment. No console has ever reserved a quarter of its memory usage for the os.
