Is anyone else interested in what it's going to cost on Steam? I am.

Interesting, I reckon about £15 ... Also, surprised Atari have not gone for the buy now option along with more advertising.

[corrosive]

Looking forwards to this

Downloaded this at 12AM this morning and had a quick blast before bed ... love it

Are there separate PS4 and (enhanced) PS5 versions?

Searching for it on the PS store on the PS5 it shows a PS4 version available Right Now for £15.99, but no mention of a PS5 version.

As it's my lunch break I just got it for Switch and have played a grand total of one game. Just wanted to pop off it for a moment to quickly say it is a thing of glorious and sublime beauty!

Thanks you, thank you, thank you, Jeff and Giles.

PS I got to level 9, and am currently #9 on the Pure table with 5,760,386. I'm posting this now because I know I will doubtless be relegated to the furthest, lower reaches of the table once others are playing, so I may as well have my tiny bit of glory now.

Pretty much what Foozwah just said. I did post in response to Jeff on Mastodon but also want to say thanks to the Llamasoft Duo here for 'converting' it from arcade and porting it onto Switch. I am looking forward to playing a lot of this when I'm off work next week.

Anyone played on Steam Deck yet? It’ll be my platform of choice for this if it runs well…

*edit* ah, not available on Steam yet, for some reason….got 4hrs to wait

I’ll try it on my Deck and report here asap in four hours.

Still only showing a PS4 version on the UK PS Store:



But I’ve seen reviews for a PS5 version, with details saying the PS5 code was provided by Atari.

Not working on Deck by default (from a review)

Seriously hoping some messing will fix that. Would hate to buy Switch version.

It’s not sounding good

No idea who 'PR' is that they talk about.

Giles has done nothing towards Steam Deck compatibility, doesn't have one to play with to test, and isn't keen on the idea of having another platform to worry about. (I understand that!)

I'd consider a whip round to get the guys a deck if they'd commit to making it work.

I know Giles feels that Steam claims it'll work with everything. Which is obviously/sadly not true.

[WiteWulf]

PR will be whatever public relations agency Atari is using to engage with reviewers who have got pre-release copies, as I doubt they’d do that in house.

And I totally understand Giles’s attitude towards adding another platform to support. The Deck is still relatively niche, and most developers don’t optimise for it, instead letting the wine/proton devs take care of that for the smaller audience.

That said, it’s great when you /do/ see Deck specific patches and updates pushed out, even if it’s just simple quality of life stuff like adjustable text size

On steam now at £16.75. Not sure wht its cheaper on the PS5
