How would you react if one day Atari announced that they are coming back to the console race with a revolutionary console?.

I would be shocked, but kind of excited because it would be Nintendo vs Atari again lol.

A re-make of ET and I'm sold.

I'd be shocked, but I think it would be a little too late for them to compete with Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.

I'd be very, very, very shocked. Atari is literally a completely different company to how it was in the 80s. I don't think they'd have anywhere near the money they'd need to fund an entire return to the console making business.

Lol they wouldn't succeed. What I.P.'s do they even have anymore, besides Ghostbusters.

Be wary, the suck is coming.

I don't see them doing well either. It seems like the console wars do best when it has 3 companies.
I can't see myself buying more than 2 or 3 consoles for exclusives either. Imagine it was Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, and Atari? We'd have another video game crash or something.

I would definitely be shocked. Although I would laugh at the same time. :P

Last time I commented that, I had been 'disliked' over 7 times, and was called 'evil'. :D

Well. They wouldn't stand a chance. So I'd be like... "Really?"

I wouldn't react much. I was born in 1988 and started gaming in 1990, Atari was dead by the time I started gaming.

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

So Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, SEGA, Atari, and Valve?

Good catch, totally forgot about Valve. Weren't there Alienware rumours too? Yup, I can definitely see a crash happening even without Sega joining in. Guaranteed if they do.

Atari wouldn't be so bad. They could come back with a vengence. Create a low budget system that appeal to some people. If they really get creative they could create new ips that people would love. The majority of gamers really aren't loyal to the console maker but loyal to the games.

Rather have Sega to be honest. Bought every sega system and add on and loved it. Too bad it will never happen.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

Eh, I would be surprised. I would rather Sega create a new system than Atari.

Just think:

Genesis 2.0 :P
