The Cryptic developer has confirmed that more than one storyline will be included in the new Neverwinter but has said that the exact number is not set in stone and will depend on how the development process goes. He also revealed that players will need to be always connected to the servers of Atari in order to play Neverwinter, with no offline mode planned at the moment.
Atari has revealed classic game patch packs for fans and collectors.
The Atari 7800+ follows on the heels of last year's Atari 2600+.
In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.
In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.
So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
GL: "There have been some great handheld consoles over the decades, but along the way came a slew of not-so-great ones; here are seven of the worst."
He further elaborated that, “Players will have lots of controls over whether something’s public or private and so forth, and we’re working on those various options now. As we go into beta and get feedback from people actually using the tools, we’ll add more, but the idea of a large zone with hundreds of players, that isn’t what Neverwinter is, no.”
So basically its the same as Ubis protection, must always be connected to internet regardless of whether its single player (private options)
I'll give it till 2 days before release and one of the cracking groups such as skidrow will have enabled offline play
Duh, it's an MMO? Looks like Cryptic is on par to mess up another IP! How do they keep getting work?!
