Hyper_Eye Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's nothing against the Vita. I'm sure it's great. I have never had any interest in portables and I never will. I imagine a lot of Jaguar and T2K fans are the same way. What you're pushing (rather hard) here is a $200 gaming system. That isn't worth buying just for the successor to T2K for me especially when I still enjoy T2K so much. But even more than that it is not worth buying for me because there is simply no occasion where I would play a handheld, even if I have TxK on it, so it would be entirely money wasted. The couple of good mobile games I've bought prove that. I was sure I'd play them... never did. If the game hits XBLA or PS3 I will be all over it.

Rex Dart Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Is there any sort of expansion port on the Vita that would allow a spinner controller to be connected... even a homemade one, Jag-style?

sh3-rg Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well I think I will never get any higher of a score for TxK, but I'm pleased with it. I've not made it all the way through yet, on around 70/71ish which still got me around the top 50 (54 as of this morning with 2.5m, you're in 5th). What's your best Pure score? Yak posted 4 million on that (and he even killed himself off when he reached it, so he's papable of much more!) but someone beat that just recently! Nice - earlier today on Pure I was in 128th with a little over 1.18 million. Not sure I'll ever score that high, but we'll see. I'm on PSN as MoparStephen, but I think I need to update my friends settings. I'm new to all this PSN stuff. You will on Classic, going from your best point on Pure, saving up your lives and choosing when to restart to build through the best final score... keeps it all really competitive but doable for anyone who puts in the time. I'm nowhere near the best T2K player around and can't breeze through the levels like Nonner242 can, but retry/retry/retry and I'll probably get there Anyone even tried Survival? Awesome score nonner! Hardcore..lol I haven't had much time and have only played four games of Pure. Up around 860,000 on Pure. I hope to get into the 7 digits tonight when I get home from work. I've only played 5 games of Pure, but the last one I played, after hammering away at Classic puts you in good stead for those early sparse and simple levels (that don't seem at all like that, at least to me, when you first encounter them ) I'll try to add people above, I'm legoman-D. Here's a tip - also add the guy who isn't quite at the top of the Pure mode, the one with a beastly name :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3-rg Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm expecting some good Nonner scores today, every time I looked at my ps4 he's been there in "Llamasoft TxK" Oh, and this: TxK OST now available! Lasers... lasers everywhere! -- Im sure by now youll be well aware of just what a cracking soundtrack there is in TxK. Just as in T2K, the soundtrack really completes the game perfectly. Its just not be the same game with rubbish tunes. What perhaps most people dont know is that the soundtrack came together in a most amazing way. Over on the Yakyak forum there are a bunch of talented musicians who hang out on the Moosicians subforum. Now at the time I started the TxK project there wasnt any way on earth I could actually afford to hire musicians to develop tracks for me, so I asked in the forum if anyone would be interested in donating tracks for the upcoming project. A bunch of guys pitched in and the results are I am sure you will agree rather exceptional. I asked for tracks in the style of T2K and everyone had their own take on what that meant. Im amazed how excellently all the tracks fit together and how perfectly they suit the game. The result is a soundtrack that surpasses its original inspiration to become the best soundtrack any Llamasoft game has ever had. It was awesome of everybody to have offered us these tracks to use in game just for the love of the TxK project and a fondness for all things Llamasoft, but we thought it would be nice for the musicians to at least be able to benefit from their work in a more concrete way (apart from the streams of job offers for work doing soundtracks for games that will inevitably flood in as a result of being in TxK of course ) and we thought it would be a good idea to make an OST available to buy, with the musicians sharing the proceeds amongst themselves. Accordingly the soundtrack is now available, remastered, re-edited and better than ever get it on Bandcamp right now! Click here to buy the TxK OST! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw. You just seeing me sitting a lot. 5-10 min here and there. I would say 2 1/2hrs pure neon death ray all day today. My txk is a little on the strange side on save spots. I get them every 10 levels or more. Not based on best score. It kinda sucks. I'm wondering if lives count too. Or if my download is damaged. I also have the music cuts out 30sec or so into the game around level ...mid70s-80s. Its only one track so no biggie. Just very silent until the next music track/level begins. By the way you know I couldn't let anyone have first for long. It just that Tempest is one of my favs and I'll prove it..lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah.. I think I need to get a Vita, like.. soon. Especially if they are discontinuing the old models. It's been hard to justify, but when I really think about it, the original PSP has been my favorite handheld of pretty much the last decade. If the PS Vita is similar, I don't see why it won't be the one I enjoy the most for the next decade. I've already had multiple 3DS systems, but sold them all. I still play my regular PSP though. Great system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm a huge fan of Tempest 2000. I may have to buy a Vita just to play this game. And Ys. And Uncharted.

Purchased Tempe--I mean, TxK for $7.99 and first game scored 615,000. Have to do some work, so can't spend much more time playing right now. Uncharted also downloading (recently played all three Uncharted games on the PS3). I do want to say to Sony: You can kiss my ass for your proprietary memory card and USB cable standards. Thankfully Best Buy price matches Amazon, so I was able to get a 16GB card for $37. Also, extremely lame they don't include a card at all, since it's pretty much essential to use the system!

Austin Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I just left the local game shop, saved some money and snagged a CIB used Vita in good shape. Picked up a few games like Lumines (loved the PSP version!), Wipeout and Monkey Ball. Looking forward to picking up TxK when I get home later! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
