Tempest Nut Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I got to 1st place in Survival mode today ! Survival mode is HARD because the game doesn't give you extra anything !

Tempest Nut Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I've noticed something that the "spinner" version of Tempest 4000 has over on the "Game controller" version that I believe gives it an advantage, Claw speed, The spinner version's claw speed is significantly faster than the controller version ! Here is a comparison of the two versions with the claw going around the first level at max speed in both versions... Controller version takes 1.10 seconds to go around once... Spinner version takes 0.67 seconds to go around once... That's just 0.24 seconds from being twice as fast !

Tempest Nut Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Although the two versions are not any dif in that if you use a controller with the "spinner" version it goes as slow as the "controller" version, So it's being able to use a spinner in one vs the other, Not one version over the other... If that makes sense ? Edited March 17, 2019 by Tempest Nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Nut Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Is anyone here still playing Tempest 4000 or am I the last one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_convoy Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Not well enough to get on leader boards, but here and there. Honestly, it hurts my eyes a bit... but so has every version of the game (save the original) and I still buy them and enjoy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I'll try it again. Ever since I first got it and realized it was refusing to act like I played any of it... saying I had no scores... I haven't played it. Kinda frustrated at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played it. Kinda frustrated at it. Mine did that once and what I did was find these two files in this directory and made sure they weren't read-only or the directory wasn't read-only "C:\Users\(your computer)\Documents\Tempest4000_Savedata" and just to be sure I deleted both files and let the game make them from scratch again, Of course, you will have to set up your key mapping again but mine started to work again and has been fine ever since...

Tempest Nut Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Had a great game in Class1c last night and added 100,000 points to my high score... When I started playing T4K not long ago the high score in Class1c was around 8 million points, I wonder where it will top out?

MantaNZ Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Might have to put the disc in and attempt a score. Last time I played (Xbone) there were hardly any scores in the leaderboards. I'm guessing the game flopped majorly, which sucks. Minter is a god amongst men, erm, llamas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Nut Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I just got a new all time high in Pure putting me in 1st place on the PC leader-board with a score of 13,547,120 points! I'm now 1st in Pure mode, 1st in Class1c mode, and 1st in Surv1val mode! Or you might say a Tempest 4000 hat-trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaNZ Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Flopped? There are around 6000 pure PC leaderboard scores so flopped, I don't think so... I don't know how those boards translate to sales but 6000 isn't exactly a large number. Last time I played on Xbone I was near the top of the leaderboard and I only played it a few times - and I'm certainly not great at the game, so yeah, I'd consider it a huge flop. Of course sales could have picked up by then but if there are only 6k scores on PC I doubt it. EDIT: There are 66 reviews on Steam. In my experience (from both game a book sales) around 1% of people bother to review a game, so that works out at roughly 6600 sales - which seems in line with the leaderboards. That's a REALLY low number. I just hope it doesn't stop Atari and Minter et al from making more cool stuff, because this game is awesome. I don't quite like it as much as T2K but I think that's probably mainly for nostalgic reasons... Edited May 2, 2019 by MantaNZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite like it as much as T2K but I think that's probably mainly for nostalgic reasons... 6000 was for pure mode only, There are no doubt more in class1c and surv1val mode but of course many are the same players from pure mode BUT not all, And there are the PlayStation players as well, I've never reviewed any games, So is it a flop? Well compared to games like fortnight YES, But compared to Atari's other releases I'd bet it was Atari's best seller of 2018 ! lol It's the best version of Tempest ever made! But that's just a Tempest Nut's opinion who can play the game with an arcade spinner!!! And for the moment I am the best of the best of the "elite" players at Tempest 4000! The players that were #1 when I first started playing a few months ago aren't even close anymore...
