Fantastic news. So is it TxK with added shiny bits or something new?

I recently tweeted about the new Atari console saying "whatever it is it wont have the best version of Tempest". Maybe I was wrong :D

And even if it's be "only" TxK - which is NOT - it still is "a heck of a thing" to "port" ( i.e re-do a lot of things ) it from Vita to PS4, the two architectures are not exactly that similar, it still takes time, not to mention pass all certification and FORMS and crap like that :lol: :lol:

Just doing all the FORMS and cert is enought to get totally insane spend MONTHS on there ..

Let's not forget this ...

This is good news. I'm mostly posting in here to track updates. :mrgreen:

I'll probably end up getting multiple versions of this just to have in different places. I suppose mobile is out of the question, but I hope Nintendo Switch is considered.

When ALL THIS will be done, which is in itself quite a feat given the time, we will consider buying/getting and/or see if Atari wants "more ports" about Switch.

At the moment Swtich is not into the equation but it does NOT mean it could not be in a future.

Is a Vita update in the equation?

For the moment not, for the moment at least also I don't know at this point exactly how's going to be for other ports I should read the contract again what it says about those.

Was lucky enough to have a play on it over the weekend and the additions are really nice, definitely a bit more challenging but you get a bit more help in places too :D

Regarding TxK, instead of paying for a patch, couldn't you just discontinue the game from the store, then republish as a new title (T4K) with the bugs fixed?
