Tempest 4000 - YES! YES! YES!

[WiteWulf]

Hey ankman, welcome to the boards...someone'll be along soon to give you official fluffy welcome

[gilesgoat]

Is it out yet? Cannot get it verified. Your web page also says it's a sequel to the original Tempest, although there was at least Tempest 2000 released by Llamasoft a few years ago.

Tempest 2000 looked very good, cannot imagine how this could ever be improved.

I have to admit though I am a sucker for vintage games, so the 1981 original will likely always be my number one. Not that I am particuarly good at it. But when it came out I was blown away!

Hi Ankman,

no it's not out yet but it should be VERY soon , the only version that is going to take me a few little extra time ( still working on it ) is the Xbox One version.

Don't forget also there's Tempest 3000 on the Samsung NUON which is "a thing by its own".

Tempest 4000 anyway is more "a direct successor" of Tempest 2000 in terms of style/gameplay, it's a bit like "the Tempest 2000 that could have been if the Jaguar would have been as powerful as consoles of today", but beware "people that played that and TxK on the Vita, there ARE various subtle differences".

Also "4000" because "4K", if you have a 4K capable display I can guarantee you it looks gorgeous

If you are fan of Tempest you should love this too, can't see any reasons why not this is really "Jeff at his best".

Anyway it's very soon to be out, can't wait for it so I can finally move on something else I think in terms of code/localization/hearing this and that/bug reports/modification/etc. I had "more than enough" of all this

Time for me to move into Polybius PC, it's been waiting a bit too long

Yup, last level/trophy/game end bug being priority and maybe a line of text on the main title screen about turning PS4 super sampling off.

Those bugs been already fixed quite a while ago, BTW "how does it work that Super Sampling thing ?" I mean is that thing in "Video Settings ?" .. because guess what, even if I change rez it someway recognizes it's a 4K TV and tell me "you CAN NOT SET Super Sampling with this type of TV".

The bugs already been fixed, it's just that we never released/asked/started to make a patch yet.

Yup, it’s in Video settings, just a check box on/off. No console reset needed.

Rez Infinite also has software super sampling and suffers the same error.

I would humbly suggest tge patch being the next thing to work on then.
A press statement on its release could then include a little promotion for T4K too.

Thanks for the update.

Yes of course, I know you are.

But as it's going to happen at some point, surely the website should have an Xbox logo?

I'm really looking forward to T4K :-)

I bought a Nuon in 2006 specifically to get T3K, and of course have a Jag with T2K.

I last posted on this forum in 2006. Guess what has brought me out of retirement?

A total aside, but on Xbox One S my version of Space Giraffe has no music. Can this be remedied? Is it just something in the settings?
Apologies for an off-topic question from an old fart!

You really need to get a Vita for TxK...
