Sabertooth Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) One thing that sets the VCS versions of Atari's Recharged series apart are the controller options. The paddle function of the VCS Classic Controller for Breakout: Recharged is confirmed by Atari's lead producer, Jason Polansky! I can't imagine playing any other way!

JustClaws Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think this might be the game to inspire some more people to buy a 2nd Classic controller! 🙂 I was lucky enough to pick one up here in The Netherlands, a couple of months ago, as well.

First, welcome to Club VCS @JustClaws! Its good to see you here. Yes, I agree 100 percent. A second Classic Controller will be a must for Co-op! With its built-in paddle functionality, the Classic Controller is going to make this the definitive version of the game! Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Some very cool news coming out of Atari's Recharged Discord server. They've listened to feedback and have included a "Classic Mode." Single Player. Three balls. No extras. The Recharged modes will include co-op and single life approach familiar to fans of the Recharged series. Here are some images of Classic Mode and new video footage. https://youtu.be/bZfczKRCClI RickR and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) After a slight delay, Breakout Recharged is now out in the Atari VCS store! First impressions are good but I can't spend any real time with it before heading to the office. NOTE, if you're using the Classic Controller, be sure to have Classic Rotational toggled on and Mouse toggled off in your Controller settings.

Sabertooth Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I had a LONG day and all I wanted to do was play Breakout. I finally got to spend an hour with it and it's VERY good. Its too early to say its my favorite brick breaker ever, but it's definitely worth a look. RickR and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datafry Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Just purchased this tonight. Fun game just wish they would release a paddle. The joystick version just doesn’t cut it. Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joystick version just doesn’t cut it. I agree that a paddle would be nice but I got used to the Joystick's paddle function. Sensitivity adjustment would be nice in future updates. If you have Asteroids Recharged, I recommend playing with the Joystick's rotary function. For me, it's much better than a gamepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that is the exact two I picked up. Asteroids is impressive. Love the sounds in that one. Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
