Tempest 4000 - YES! YES! YES!

[PVB]

Any idea when this game is likely to be released on Xbox?

Thanks

It those retail dates are to be believed, June.

So does anyone know when T4k is out for PS4?
I'm confused.

Looks like Atari are sticking with the release on all formats on the same day, so possibly 12th June.

Yes, I think that seems to be the plan. And they've lost a sale form me doing that for the time being.

Unless the Xbox version is significantly worse than the PS4 version, I'll buy that. Had they released on the PS4 a few weeks ago, I'd have bought it and then bought the Xbox when it released.

The PS4 version will now only be bought if they ever sanction and release a VR patch.

Cheers guys

I see Atari life are advertising T4k as if it's a native game for the new VCS.
I presume the VCS is basically a steam box and can play the steam port of the game.

Got a link? I haven't seen that and there's nothing on the Atari site about it.

I saw it on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/atariVCS/video ... 445166177/

Quote, "Atari VCS plays new games! Check out some behind-the-scenes footage of Tempest 4000 game play - an Atari classic reinvented for today." with the same Tempest 4000 trailer we saw months ago. Probably the PS4 version?

Well that's kind of telling. The only conclusion I can draw is that the Atari VCS is a tiny little PC.

Yup, that’s what others are saying.

That's what Atari are saying, it's a 'good' laptop without a screen/keyboard running a flavour of Linux.

The Steam page shows only Windows. There's no way this is going to run on the steambox unless they've been testing it in wine.

Giles, Can you tell us if T4000 uses DirectX or OpenGL on PC?

LOOK : FIRST of all "it's a thing on a time budged and money budget that is not huge" therefore "it's already been made for quite a number of systems", Steambox wasn't into the 'equation', btw is anyone actually using/buying that sort of stuff ? I tought it was all dead LONG ago

PC == Windows 7/8/10 == DirectX 10/11, I never tested it on Wine I don't know if anyone ever did, it could be, it could not be, it's not a "super demanding" graphical thing so it may work but I don't know.

I personally began to be "quite a bit fed up" of all this "plethora of devices to do the same identical things", to be honest I got the point - Switch case apart - of "why do we need X consoles when we want the SAME IDENTICAL GAMES ON ALL OF THEM ?" .. Let's have "the Communist state one-console-for-all-for-the-people-of-the-country"

Really I get NUTS to be sure "thing are THE SAME" so WHY THE (*)$*#@()$* you want to buy a different console then

Really "it's all about/ONLY EXCLUSIVE TITLES" because would be NOT for them, would really make "no sense" at all, except a remote feeling "you have free choice" of something (*)

But maybe at least SOME truth because after I've seen some things it's true some stuff sucks more than the others, or at least that's my impression or maybe "everything sucks" in the sense "it's still not exactly what it could be"

... and then you do all this huge amount of work with lot of swears and tears .. and it sells "close to nothing" ( <<.. story of a time of my life spent with Guybrush Threepwood ..>> ) ..

Steambox ? .. WHY Steambox ?
