The PlayStation 3 arcade traditional Shatter is receiving a remake in case you were not conscious, and now we all know to anticipate it sooner or later early subsequent yr. That is all because of a random forum thread made back in August 2018 asking for the game to be remade, and developer MarioW on the positioning has saved followers updated since. On the time, they stated: “Some particulars to type via (so I can’t make definitive statements about timing and platforms), however Shatter might be coming to trendy consoles.” Quick ahead three years and now we have now an estimated launch window.
The latest update is that whereas platforms, pricing, and particular launch particulars outdoors of “early subsequent yr” can’t be mentioned, work on the port is basically achieved. “The exterior group we had been working with has mainly completed their work on the port. We spun up an inside group a few month in the past to deal with the remaster facets of the train. That features remodeling the person onboarding, UI, colour grading, results, menus, and so on. We’re additionally simply whether or not a 5.1 mixture of the soundtrack is viable.”
Shatter’s authentic soundtrack might be a part of the up to date model, however VR assist sadly is not deliberate. The sport was a kind of Breakout clone when it launched on PS3 all the way in which again in 2009, tasking gamers with destroying all of the blocks on any given stage. You’d accomplish that by controlling a paddle on the perimeters of every stage and bouncing a ball again into the blocks. For the reason that sport first debuted on PS3, we would be very shocked if the PS5 and PS4 techniques aren’t included within the line-up of consoles receiving this up to date port.
A a lot youthful Sammy Barker reviewed this one again within the day, calling it an “audio-visual delight” in a 9/10 PS3 review. “Shatter is the PSN’s shining beacon within the rising ‘New Arcade’ market.” Have been you a fan of Shatter again within the day?
