and so it begins again, I wonder what Jeff will make next?

The "mysterious game" we are working on it ... it's getting close to be .. well you'll see it "soon" .. "Everything so far is proceeding according to plans"

AT THE MOMENT PSVR2 ONLY.

I'm bawling over here. I really hope SteamVR is in the pipe somewhere.

*WHAAAAH* I NEED LOT MORE TIME FOR THAT *WHAAH* !!

[WladimZappo]

Soooo...

Do I need a PS5 And a PSVR2 to play this, or is it for other systems as well?

Switch1 or PS4 hopefully...

Time is one of the four dimensions I exist in, so that could potentially work.


(I know post launch update budgets are tight with Llamasoft, but I hope you get it in there at some point).

Well, that looks suitably bonkers!

Now that is an almighty result! My PSVR2 is ready and waiting. Really hoping we get some physical releases at some point.

I'm going to wildly speculate out loud for my own amusement, with the understanding that I will receive no answer.

So it's pretty clear it's going to be more Atari IP. I don't think it's gonna be a revisit of something they have done before.

It's also probably not something Atari has recently remade already unless it's a much looser riff on the IP that won't step on the Recharged games, meaning otherwise obvious choices like Centipede, Gravitar, Black Widow, Yars Revenge, Quantum etc are probably out because of the Recharged series. So what's left?

Most Likely

Major Havoc

• Multipe game phases, which is something Llamasoft has often played with in the past, although maybe not to this extent
• Forward scrolling shooty bits very on-brand for Llamaoft
• Platformer bits pretty different from typical Llamasoft
• Suitably obscure/unkown IP, since Llamasoft is allergic to anything recognizable to the mainstream.

STUN Runner

• Shooty 3D tunnel thing. Llamaosoft loves those.
• Not too wildly off from something like Polybius
• Although the original was blocky polygons, it might not be abstract enough?
• Successful arcade game, but not a game with big home ports or a sequel in 30+ years, so probably passes the obscurity bar?

Less Likely But Possible
Food Fight

• I could see it as a Minotaur Arcade-style release, but harder alongside the Atari releases

Astroblast

• Fits, but there's not a lot there. Seems like thin gruel for an update

Of course we can all hope I'm wrong and Atari is down for another Centipede update or whatever, because we all know that would be amazing.

I would love to see a few smaller/shorter dev time projects ... Maybe not financially viable but to have Llamatron and a few others from the back catalogue would be wonderful, especially for us historic Llamasofties ... 2-3 month dev games just for a bit, that would be amazing
