Mortis Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 No VR yet and it’s basically TxK but changed up a bit so zombie Atari can claim it’s their IP and lets Jeff get some cash as far as I can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipper Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 if the price is $30 then that will have come from zombie Atari being the publishers. One thing Llamasoft always do is charge a decent budget price for their stuff even below what they should've charge (Space Giraffe being £3.40 on release for instance!) See here from Jeff it is zombie Atari not releasing it, it is out of their hands And see replies there seems that zombie Atari did not want the VR option (I know they had it working at one stage). fuirther reading on yakyak confirms VR was working on PSVR and a version on Rift but Atari wanted all versions to be the same with maybe possibly upgrading later (for a fee dlc?) Some purchased it and have it and are playing it so it does exist! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why it has been pulled already? I know there is a XBO version (that isn't currently finished). So maybe publishers are waiting to align the release.

PikaStu Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Maybe they’ve decided it’ll be an Ataribox launch title and the rest of us will have to wait even longer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwock Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 So this never actually got released then? I was recently wondering why it was all hyped up pre-launch and I'd heard nothing since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubik Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 $30 for a remake of a remake of a remake? I assume $30 is £30 these days. I know it'll be great but come on, it'll really limit its sales at that price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefcha Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Prices do seem all over the fucking shop from my brief experience of this gen, it's like nobody can really decide on what to charge for a game on release. T4K is 30 quid. Hellblade was 21 quid. Nier Automata: Become As Gods Edition is 40 quid. And Onrush is still an eyewatering 55 quid. Hellblade I bought instantly (I even preordered it, which is like totally unheard of for me), Nier is tempting, whereas T4K and Onrush I wouldn't even think about considering unless they were half the price they're up at.

womblingfree Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 So hang on, is this by Jeff or not?? I'll snap this up on PS4 after all the Llamasoft games I owned on iOS have been butchered and removed from my purchase history with no warning, opportunity to back-up or refund forthcoming.

Flub Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yes. It's a Llamasoft game but "Atari" are publishing so I'm guessing they set the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpets Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Nice to see a Minter game getting a boxed release, even if I've sort of played this already on the Vita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefcha Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 This is out for digital purchase. £23.99 on Xbox, or a quid more at £24.99 on PS4 for some reason: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/tempest-4000/bqgvm408p8d1 https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP0182-CUSA09885_00-TEMPEST400000001 edit: And the same on Steam, albeit without a price or ability to purchase yet https://store.steampowered.com/app/688140/Tempest_4000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purin Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 £24 quid. Shouldn't it be about £10.99? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else are a group of litigious people pretending to be a games company supposed to get a hefty payday? I have to wonder if T4K is being sent out to die at this price.

stefcha Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Also I wonder if Llamasoft will make much money from this, or just get told to fuck off by "Atari" and to thank them for allowing it to be put out (again) at all for a nominal sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsdio Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'm wondering that too, if a decent amount of the proceeds go to Minter I'd be happy to buy it again on Steam even though I fully rinsed TxK on release. Otherwise I might as well wait for a sale since there's hardly a shortage of other stuff to be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qazimod Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Didn't TxK on Vita launch at something crazy like £5.49? Very generous considering how much game you got for the asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clipper Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 PC issues are surrounding 144hz monitors as frame rate is locked 60 so if it is forced upto 144 it goes haywire. Also no options to change anything so fixed resolution no windowed options and vsync locked on. so no major bugs as long as palying in 60hz at 16:9 fullscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumpster Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Best game of that year, no question, but for £30 I'd buy a second hand PSTV and play it on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone that may have missed it, pressing Y button (Xbox) on level select screen toggles through Tempest 4000 soundtrack, Tempest 2000 soundtrack and TxK (?) soundtrack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
