Tempest 4000 - YES! YES! YES!

Just playing normally it will show up once in a while but using that tactic you'll get it more often for sure.

Playing to die is a tactic I've never tried before... lol

I will always cry over the fact that T4K as well *WAS* a VR game .. and it was literally "something you NEVER seen" ! .. .. and the first thing that Atari wanted was "Oh btw we don't want the VR"

I played the build that you showed off at expos. Oh my god, it was so beautiful. Everytime I play T4K now I'm always torn between how good it is but how it was so close to being a VR title and blasting it off into a different dimension. I remember you telling me to pause the game and push forward on the stick so that i was passing through all those incredible glowing explosions. Atari could have been smugly receiving plaudits for having published a truly stellar VR title.

We were robbed big time! I just hope Jeff's tweet musing about Space Giraffe 2 on VR comes to something.

Playing this like mad again on Steam, leaving MooseLife alone for a bit until the VR version comes out ...T4K really does deliver, loving it!

Yeah Tempest 4000 is great. I like to go back and play TxK too. I really like the enemy designs in TxK and how everything has that glowy look to it. But the new Tempest 4000 flat-shaded enemies look cool too. That one bull head enemy, whose horns come off, looks like he's out of the original Virtua Fighter. And those new backgrounds in 4000 are so cool.

Just found the MOOMOO to rinse a level, that's cool!

[Markie]

Up to level 94! Tough going but nearly there!

You're in for a treat. Polybius, in particular, is a neo classic and masterpiece. As good as anything this gen in my opinion.

I would tend to agree, but with the caveat only in VR.

Maybe it's good out of VR, but as I tried it first in VR it's impossible to go back...

It's much, MUCH harder in 2D. In VR it's so much easier to judge depth and timing.

I was getting on ok in 2d up to a point, then tried it on a mates PSVR and that kinda broke me. Found it really hard to go back and play in 2D after that.

Polybius also plays much better on 3D-TV (use a big screen and sit really close) than in flat 2D.

[WiteWulf]

Yeah, PVB and I discussed that at some length just after Polybius came out. It's really a much harder game in 2D. The purple, indestructible, blocks are easier to spot in 3D, which was a big help as my colour-blindness makes purple objects very hard to see/differentiate anyway.

[Markie]

Polybius is firstly a VR game with 2d as optional really me thinks, it was designed to be played in VR or 3D, the 2D version is the bonus this time. I can only play in VR, the field of play is perfect.

[Markie]

Currently sitting at level 100 on Tempest! I will break it!

Aye. You & me both mate..
