Are you asking how many parts the new remake will have, or how many times they'll remake it again after they're done with this one?

If I ever buy a next-gen console it'll probably be the new xbox because they'll be exclusive on the new Obsidian and Bethesda games. But eh...for the time being I'm comfortable just playing Skyrim, Cyberpunk, and the Mass Effect trilogy on my PS4. And my laptop can handle Crusader Kings 2 and Neverwitner Nights mods for the next couple of years. Think I'm set up for the time being.

I never understood the console wars thing. Every platform had a fuckload of games that were fun and enjoyable. So get any console, play the fun games and be happy.

It doesn't really matter if you have an Xbox, playstation or Nintendos, there's always gonna be fun games. Just play the fun games and stop overthinking this poo poo.

It's like every time someone starts talking about FLOPs (that aren't my dick coming out) I instantly just give up talking to them. I don't give a poo poo about that nerd fuckshit. I just wanna play a game.

I forget the other one that gets pulled out of retirement every so often. The scam one, I think they said it'd emulate every console at some stage.

Atari needs to come back too. They don't have to be good, just bank in on the nostalgia.

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
Are console wars really a thing still? Back in the day they were informed by the belief that they all truly did represent an existential threat to each other, there were actual stakes involved, but the lineup hasn't changed in twenty years, I think we've established a peaceful coexistence.

I think the last true "war" was the portables, and I think Nintendo was the only one really fighting it. Like, it was their personal mission to kill off Sony's portable line. And they eventually did it, too, so hey, good for them.

They tried. They're charging $400 for a system that plays 100 80's games.

No relation to the actual 80's Atari, just the latest person to buy the name.

While beautiful I was actually imagining a full re-awakening of the brand. An Atari console to rival Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sega (yeah Sega is back too as well in this scenario).

Basically the 2/3 faction console wars poo poo is boring, I want more infighting. I want to see alliances form. Let your controllers be your blades and watch nerds fistfight (poorly!) over not liking one brand as much as another lmao

There are way too many games. Just stop making games until everyone has played them all and then we can talk about maybe making some new ones.

Nobody gives a poo poo about Atari. Not even retro gamers. I found a stack of Atari 2600 games last year, I think it was like 35 games. I got 70 dollars for it on ebay. Was barely even worth shipping. Meanwhile Contra for NES that sold 11 billion copies fetches $100 loose on eBay.

Atari had one "successful" console (that caused an entire crash in the market) and like 9 failed consoles. They couldn't even manage to stay relevant in the 80s. They sucked and they're never coming back.

Anyway my point is that no one is nostalgic for Atari which is almost actually impressive because people get nostalgic for loving everything.
