YarsFan Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Read somewhere this will get a release on the Switch, but have not heard if this will be released on VCS. If not, does the decision to publish this on Switch but not VCS pretty much signal the end of the VCS considering the VCS is more technologically advanced than the Switch? Hopefully we at least get Unsung Warriors as the unsung swan song of the VCS… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_JaguarVCS Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 It doesn't mean end of life for the Atari VCS 800 at all. You seem to be obsessed with the end of life of the Atari VCS 800 it's all about money and financially it doesn't really make sense to release it on a machine that's locked to the states and has a small user base thanks to that hurdle. I read on Discord that Davpa hasn't ruled out a VCS version, he is also trying to get Proton support inplimented into the Atari VCS OS so we get more big games on the system. I would just play this game in PC mode it's not the big deal if it doesn't come to the device, but i have faith it will afterall Davpa got us Lunar Lander in the end so.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Doesn't signal much other than the game not being able to hit the VCS for one of a variety of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyindrew Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I also think the VCS's capabilities are very underestimated. Case in point, Im a huge Flight Simulator fan and mostly fly on Xbox Series S. On occasion, I will use the Xbox Game Pass app on the Atari VCS to fly. The VCS handles the program beautifully, same frame rates as Xbox with no hiccups.

YarsFan Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 I agree its capabilities are underestimated in that it’s almost surely more powerful than a Switch. Not sure how close it is to a Xbox One X or PlayStation 4 Pro, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
