Atari agrees to Infogrames buyout

Oh a TDU:2 or another expansion pack would be welcomed! I loved TDU! Still do! One of my all time favorite Racing games!

Yeah its a good move. I wonder if their will be a TDU2.

well we will see were this goes because Atrai was in a bad enough condition and mabye this will fix that

So now five years after they filed for chapter 7, Atari is officially dead and giving everything to Infogrames? R.I.P. Atari Corp (1972-2003) R.I.P. Atari Games (1996-2008) And runstalker, Jack Tremiel and Howard Kassir can burn in hell for all enternity! They're the **** responsible for Atari's demise. Kassir told Warshaw to make ET(meaning Kassir is behind the 1984 CRASH!!!) and Tremiel tore the company apart piece by piece. Hell, he even had the nerve to launch the dated 7800 right in front of the NES and brand NEW Sega Master System(no wonder why that POS failed!) The begining of the end for Atari actaully came in 1980 when Nolan Bushnell was fired after selling the company to Warner Comunications. FYI, Bushnell did the right thing. He was worried that by 1983 the company's stock would only be worth about $26 million, selling the company to Warner would make the value increase. But the idiots at Atari got greedy and fired Bushnell. And instead hired Howard Kassir a former stock broker. But unlike Bushell, Kassir thought that video games were more about making money then about entertainment so he used Atari's name to make money and was responsible for the disasters like the 5200, Pacman 2600 and ET! Atari thought that the 1984 departure of Kassir would make things better, instead Tremiel who hated home consoles instead invested WAY too much into PC gaming which was too competitive at that time, retired the 2600 until 1987, and sold Atari's arcade division to SEGA. He even rejected Nintendo's offer to help market theFamicom/ NES under the name NAVS(Nintendo Advanced Video System)! So yeah, Kassir and Tremiel: Go to Hell!!!!!!

Alright Infograms now that your finanial prepared to support games development. The world (at least me) wants Earthworm Jim. Make it happen, my money is waiting.

hope this helps them out

lol I like what tyzwain said

Lol, Ataris becoming the village bicycle...everyone gets a go

Look at the bright side at least they didn't get bought out by EA :) Alone in the Dark is still shaping up to be a solid game, and DBZ burst limit to me may be a solid fighter also.

Alone in the Dark...im gettin it, hopefully it will help them gain revenue as long as they market it properly.

V-RALLY 2 was such a terrific game for the PS-One (developed by Infogrames). Wish they continued the series though

One thing I know for sure is I am definitely interested in getting Alone in the Dark. That is one bright spot for me from Atari. As far as Dragonball Z is concerned... I have no interest in that series.

Please, for once and for all, educate yourself on the Prostitution of the Atari Brand Name throughout history. It hasn't been the OG retro Atari since '85. << LINK REMOVED >> Me personally, I'm a big fan of the Tramiel era of Atari Corp. They approved some pretty brave hardware and sweet partnerships like Epyx. The modern Hasbro/Infogrames era of software-only Atari has been far too inconsistent. ~ As for modern Atari's good publishing choices like Indigo Prophecy, The Witcher, etc. Yeah I applaud it, but the fact is a game like The Witcher might have been ridiculously successful (even better than the 650k it sold) under a stronger publisher. The Witcher was more game than Atari could handle/willing to expense.

that was cold ottumatic

Marketing is what their games need. Good marketing that is. Bad games still sell well because good use of misleading images and developer's words. Search Fable if you want an example.

It was coming to Atari to be bought out. For years know, Atari have been suffering from lowering revenue.

Atari paid the price for doing what so many gamers say they want - innovation. Remember that Atari released Fahrenheit and The Witcher, two innovative games. They also stuck with Boiling Point through thick and thin, meaning 2.0 B.P was acceptable. Finally, it took on C&C with the superior Act of War RTS game and of course it published Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2. So say a goodbye to the real Atari and risk taking games like the above, and say hello to Infogrames, safe boring hands.....

Hope this doesn't affect DBZ Limit Burst

It's too bad Atari hasn't been doing so well recently. I mean, I've enjoyed more than my fair share of Test Drive Unlimited and The Witcher, both great games. Unfortunately, I seem to get attracted to the unappreciated titles, so even my money might be trivial. I hope that it stays though; not for nostalgia, but just for enjoyment.
