Thema: Überraschung: Jeff Minter macht ein neues Tempest Antwort auf: Die wichtigsten News der Welt von membran
Er darf wohl wieder. Tempest 4000. Kommt dieses Jahr für PC (yeah!).

[https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/08/08/tempest-4000-announced]

Jeff Minter is revisiting Tempest later this year in Tempest 4000, the creature wearing the skin of Atari announced today. This is mighty surprising, considering Minter has said the creature tried to kill his TxK, the Tempest-ish shooter he released in 2014.

At this point, the creature wearing the skin of Atari have nothing to show of Tempest 4000 – not even a logo. This should be worrying.

The creature is notorious for releasing bad games trying to coast on the former glories of old brands. RollerCoaster Tycoon World was a duffer. Early access survival sandbox Asteroids: Outpost was a mystifying use of the Asteroids name, and one that was quietly abandoned then pulled from sale. Even using the Atari name is iffy, as it’s been sold several times to different companies (these days, the skin is worn by Infogrames).

And yet I am excited. Surely even the creature wearing the skin of Atari can’t ruin a Tempest-y Jeff Minter game. Well, other than when they try to kill ’em.


Btw, "Polybius", Minters letztes Spiel (PSVR, iirc) kommt wohl auch für PC (yeah!).
