Sabertooth Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 (edited) Atari dropped the trailer for Fatal Run 2089. This looks like the first next-level game they are going for. Based on the graphic quality and use of Unreal, it's unlikely to see a VCS release. It's probably a bit demanding for the platform. Interesting property to revisit. Thoughts?

Sabertooth Posted August 26 Author Report Posted August 26 I'll add, the VCS can probably handle this in PC-Mode in lower settings. However, AtariOS was optimized for Unity games. Unreal has proven difficult to work with. But if it can run on the Switch, it will probably run... we just aren't likely to see a native port. DegasElite 1 Quote
Smell Dawg Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Definitely excited for this - always have room for an arcade racer (a genre which doesn't seem to get enough attention these days)! Using the lore from previous Fatal Run releases is the icing on the cake. Sabertooth and DegasElite 2 Quote
sramirez2008 Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Looks great! Nice nod to the 2600 version. socrates63, DegasElite, Spiritcrusher and 2 others 5 Quote

Sabertooth Posted August 26 Author Report Posted August 26 (edited) Atari has really tapped into Central/South American devs for the reimagined games. - Haunted House (2023) developed by Orbit Studio (Brazil) - Lunar Lander Beyond (2024) developed by Dreams Uncorporated (Columbia) - Neo Sprint (2023/2024) developed by Headless Chicken Games (Costa Rica) - Fatal Run 2089 (2025) developed by MNSTR Studio (Brazil) Edited August 26 by Sabertooth DegasElite, sramirez2008, socrates63 and 1 other 4 Quote
TrekMD Posted August 27 Report Posted August 27 I think this is cool! Just wish it ran on the VCS! DegasElite and Sabertooth 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
Sabertooth Posted August 27 Author Report Posted August 27 Here are the minimum recommended specs for the PC version: Smell Dawg, DegasElite and RickR 3 Quote
TrekMD Posted August 28 Report Posted August 28 My current PC exceeds all of those requirements. 😀 Sabertooth 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
Smell Dawg Posted August 28 Report Posted August 28 Holy smokes, my old laptop meets several of those requirements. However, a cursory search online would indicate that there's no such thing as a "GTX 3050"... Sabertooth 1 Quote
RickR Posted August 28 Report Posted August 28 It does get pretty iffy in comparing video card capabilities. My specs are below. Should be more than adequate, I guess. Smell Dawg and Sabertooth 1 1 Quote
Sabertooth Posted August 28 Author Report Posted August 28 (edited) Atari socials confirmed what was suspected: No VCS port. Edited August 28 by Sabertooth RickR and Smell Dawg 1 1 Quote
Sabertooth Posted August 28 Author Report Posted August 28 (edited) At least we know that UE5 doesn't play well with AtariOS. However, I'm confident that the base VCS hardware will run it with a light Linux distro and Proton in low to mid settings. I look forward to testing that. If they tried to put it on sales, I'd just point them to the sales charts for Lunar Lander Beyond estimating less than 200 sales on Steam. Edited August 28 by Sabertooth Quote
