Atari and Game Jolt Partner to Bring New and Exciting Independent Video Game Titles to the Atari VCS

admin — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 22:38:10 +0000

Atari® — one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — today announced a partnership with Game Jolt, the largest community for indie games and the people who make and play them, that will bring some of the best and most creative indie games to the Atari VCS PC-based hybrid platform. Under the partnership agreement, a curated list of games incubated on the Game Jolt platform will be brought to market on the all-new Atari VCS PC/console hybrid. Notable games that first emerged on the Game Jolt platform include: Bendy and the Ink Machine and FNaF World.

Game Jolt is one of the largest and fastest-growing social community and game distribution platforms in the world. 140 million people have accessed Game Jolt to play, follow, and talk about games. With hundreds of thousands of creators from all corners of the world — ranging from young developers in their teens to large studios with millions of dollars in revenue — there are over 135,000 playable games currently available on Game Jolt.

Game Jolt is a proven incubator for video games, helping individual developers and small studios share games under development with the Game Jolt community in order to get feedback that helps them to refine their games and prepare them for a market launch. The Atari VCS Store will feature a “Presented by Game Jolt” section to highlight titles from the platform.

“Atari is committed to bringing the creative work of small studios and independent developers to the Atari VCS platform,” said Michael Arzt, COO of Atari VCS & Connected Devices. “Our partnership with Game Jolt will ensure the creative efforts of the Game Jolt community can find a home and reach an expanded audience on the Atari VCS.”

“We have built Game Jolt to better highlight indie games and bring global opportunities to indie studios. Through our partnership with the Atari VCS platform, we’re excited to extend our current reach into the family living room,” said Game Jolt CEO Yaprak DeCarmine. “We are excited to be publishing games hand-picked from Game Jolt to the Atari VCS.”

The all-new Atari VCS home gaming and video computer system is a unique PC-based platform inspired by classic Atari console and PC hardware. Like the legendary Atari 2600 in 1977, the modern Atari VCS is set to transform the TV-centric gaming and home entertainment experience. Users will enjoy an ever-expanding Atari world of all-new games, classic and remastered favorites, streaming media, and personal apps. The Atari VCS is powered by an AMD Ryzen 1606G high-performance Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) with Zen-core and Radeon Vega Graphics, enabling gaming and video streaming up to 4K HDR at 60fps. Unlike other home game systems, owners can access “PC Mode” by installing Windows or Linux operating systems and add a keyboard and mouse to transform the Atari VCS into an expandable PC and enjoy more of their favorite games and applications. The Atari VCS combines the best of PC’s and consoles into one ultra-versatile device.

Launching in fall 2020, the Atari VCS lineup of video computer systems, bundles, and peripherals are available now for preorder at GameStop.com, Walmart.com, and AtariVCS.com at pre-release prices. The Atari VCS 800 (8GB) Onyx Base system will retail for just $299.99 USD, while Atari VCS 800 “All-In” system bundles include the Atari VCS Classic Joystick (available separately for $59.99) and Atari VCS Modern Controller ($59.99) for $399.99 USD. The Atari VCS Classic Joystick and Modern Controllers were created in partnership with PowerA. Atari VCS international presale dates will be announced soon.

admin — Sun, 19 Jul 2020 15:20:00 +0000

Natsume Inc., a worldwide developer and publisher of family-oriented video games, today announced the details behind the storyline of their upcoming title with Lucid Dreams Studio, Legends of Ethernal. Legends of Ethernal will be launching on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC/MacOS this fall.

It was a lazy summer day like any other for Wilfred… However, after returning home, he finds his house ransacked, and his parents gone… Who or what has taken them? And to where? Wilfred puts his fears aside and sets off on an adventure to find them, an adventure that will span the entire world of Arkanys.

Arkanys is a land of many creatures: the majestic Jarkens, birthed from the sap of Mehdhun Tree, often live as long as a millennium. The Brüwigs: An amphibious folk who are skilled swimmers with strong lungs. Their sturdy lungs are likely a reason for their favored weapons: blowguns, with which they can use to fire darts over long distances. The haunting Dakrei: An omnivorous, venomous insect-like race with a huge queen as their leader. Wilfred will come face to face with these creatures — and more — in the world of Legends of Ethernal. But who is friend? And who is foe? All shall be revealed in time…

In Legends of Ethernal, it is up to you to uncover the truth about your parents’ disappearance. Explore beautiful hand-crafted environments, solve challenging puzzles, and battle frightening creatures. Using the crafting power of ether, new powers and weapons will be unlocked to you, allowing you to explore more and more of the world of Arkanys!

“We spent countless hours creating Wilfred’s world of Arkanys and developing its lore,” shared Maxime Gregoire, Founder and CEO of Lucid Dreams Studio. “Legends of Ethernal is a 2D adventure game with challenging gameplay but it also tells a compelling story that immerses the player in Arkanys through Wilfred’s courageous adventure. With each boss defeated, NPC met, and level up, players unravel the truth behind his mysterious parents’ disappearance.”

Legends of Ethernal features:

Enjoy mechanics that unlock with weapons and items that you find.
Solve puzzles and unleash your fighting tactics against boss battles in multiple dungeons.
Gather ethers and use items during the course of your journey to help you progress through the game.
Admire beautiful 2D hand-drawn art covering multiple environments, scaling up to a resolution of 4K on supported platforms.
Experience a compelling and linear storyline with great characters.
Listen to the wonderfully crafted score; produced and recorded by veteran musician William Gough.
Try the Hardcore Mode for an intense experience or enable the Relaxed Mode to help you or your little one complete the game.

MAINGEAR Launches Compact Powerhouse TURBO Desktop Featuring New AMD Ryzen 3000XT Series Processors

admin — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 14:02:52 +0000

MAINGEAR — an award-winning PC system integrator of custom gaming desktops, notebooks, and workstations — today launched their all-new compact desktop that’s powered exclusively by 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors: the MAINGEAR TURBO. Engineered in collaboration with AMD, the MAINGEAR TURBO subverts expectations and delivers the high-end performance and cooling efficiency of a full-sized desktop in a system no larger than a shoebox. TURBO power — zero compromises.

“With higher clock speeds[1] and better power efficiency[2], the 3000XT series processors are optimized for high performance gaming,” said Chris Kilburn, corporate vice president and general manager, client component business unit, AMD. “AMD is thrilled to be partnering with MAINGEAR on the exclusive AMD powered TURBO gaming desktops. With its ultra-compact size and whisper quiet water-cooling, the MAINGEAR TURBO is tailor made for the new AMD Ryzen 3000XT series desktop processors.”

MAINGEAR’s new TURBO small-form-factor desktop features best-in-class performance, supporting the latest members of the award-winning 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processor family — the new AMD Ryzen 3000XT series processors. The impossibly small yet fully-featured TURBO desktop fits in perfectly at a desk or in the living room, bringing true 4K PC gaming to any entertainment center. Each TURBO system is hand-crafted, housing powerful components in a sleek chassis with a server-grade steel interior, aluminum exterior, and a tempered glass side panel. A custom dynamic fan controller and upward directional airflow dissipate heat efficiently and quietly so that temperature management needn’t be a concern unlike with some other small-form-factor desktops.

“As we approach the next console generation, many gamers are looking for the best performance that their money can buy,” said Wallace Santos, founder and CEO of MAINGEAR. “The new MAINGEAR TURBO is an incredibly powerful gaming machine that can easily meet the needs of next-generation 4K and ray-traced gaming experiences at uncapped frame rates. Built from best-in-class upgradeable components and housed in a console-sized chassis engineered in-house at MAINGEAR, the TURBO is our most impressive custom system to date. There’s no better time than now to experience the versatility and freedom of PC gaming.”

Optimized with higher boost frequencies[3] than the previous generation of processors, AMD Ryzen 3000XT series desktop processors maximize performance for a variety of workloads, including gaming, streaming, and multitasking. MAINGEAR TURBO systems can be configured with new AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT, AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT, AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT, or AMD Ryzen 3000 series processors — offering up to 16 cores and 32 threads of incredible processing power. TURBO systems support top-tier NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX and AMD Radeon RX graphics cards, in addition to up to 64GB of premium DDR4 3600MHz RAM and a selection of ultra-fast PCIe® Gen4 NVMe SSDs.

he TURBO features a newly designed version of MAINGEAR’s own revolutionary APEX liquid cooling system — merging a custom quiet pump, pressure regulated cooling, a flow rate sensor, and a high-capacity reservoir with additional simultaneous CPU and GPU coverage for the cooling and overclocking potential of a full-sized desktop in a much smaller package. Exquisitely machined from solid blocks of crystal-clear acrylic, APEX is the best performing and most visually stunning liquid cooling solution around — and it’s available exclusively from MAINGEAR.

MAINGEAR TURBO Specs and Features:
