Tempest 4000 - YES! YES! YES!

[Deckard]

Nice but whoever is playing does not know how to play really well

it's not me then tbh I'm shit at the original but then I never managed to see anyone in the arcade back In The day who was any good....

I've seen Fuseball playing the arcade version of Tempest here .. his record he made on our arcade machine still stands and I think it's quite HARD to beat it

Tempest arcade version, the original one, is MUCH more brutal/unforgiving than any other version

[edit] - and don't even try to beat Gaz's score when he plays at Robotron ( arcade ).

My best ever at StartForce, can get close but so far haven't managed to replicate it, was half a million and something, still pretty far from a proper score.

Surprisingly I'm pretty handy at Robotron and Starforce, love the little intro theme to each SF level.

Perhaps them someone should release some official footage of someone able to play...????

Really awful! I don't normally rag on the quality of play when writing up a trailer but I was cringing watching the powerups float by and couldn't ignore it.

The other thing that gets me about the trailer is the press release seemed aimed at Youtubers. "Note: Please do not publicly post the b-roll footage in full. You're free to edit as needed and use snippets in your coverage otherwise." is a copy/paste from it. I almost passed on writing it up because of this, much as I hate to let an opportunity to write up Tempest go by. Then another site posted the video in full anyway so I just embedded theirs.

Dare I say, I'm not overly convinced about the extra background stuff going on behind the 'webs'. Maybe it's fine when zoned in and playing, but some of them seem rather distracting....

Love seeing the modern visuals with the minds eye soundtrack through.

In chatting with some mates last night, all Tempest fans they were delighted to hear this is coming out, was I right in saying it's coming out before Christmas?

Was that a YES?

Was that a YES?

Original press release said this year.

I suspect the Xbox dev kit is hurting that prediction...

I don't want to officially say "NO" or "YES" because I really don't know but at the rate of how things are going for the Xbox Dev Kit I can't see anything going "that fast" in there

I already contacted - or tried to - "anything I could" and "working on it" but still little progress.

On the other side PS4 and PC are going good.

RPS are excited to see the gameplay video:

I think WE should do a video during the week end .. between THAT video and now there's MUCH MUCH MORE and improvements.

ONE thing has to be VERY CLEAR : you are NOT going to get "just a TxK port" .. MANY THINGS BEEN ADDED/CHANGED

That's very good to hear.

Just one tiny little thing as Ive just watched some more of the video....

please, please, please, PLEASE get the woman's voice back in the minds eye track. The man's voice with the yorkshire (?) accent really doesn't work.

What's wrong with that?
