This is great to see. Shatter was one of my earliest indie game purchases and I loved my time with it. Would happily pick up the new version

Should Shatter be remade for current gen consoles? [UP: Because of this thread, it will be!] [Up2: Coming Late 2022]

Wow! This is great news, thank you for trying to make it work. You must all be very proud of the game :)
Will buy on Switch for the soundtrack...*swoon*
I'm listening to the soundtrack for this game for the first time in a couple of years and it's still so good! Can't wait for the re-release.
Man, I'm hoping they are also already talking to people for a physical release.
"Shatter" on disc/ cartridge has been a dream of mine for so long...I keep pestering LRG to do the PS3 version every now and then to this day. :) (which apparently is not possible because of the backed-in demo/ trial version, so this gives me new hope!)

Hah, I like your persistence.
Until then, I can still play the Steam version which looks *amazing* in 4K.
So current gen owners are in for a treat, both visually and aurally, but mostly the latter.
Still the best soundtrack in gaming.
I still have this games soundtrack on my shoet list of things I'll listen to on endless repeat while I do art. It's so good. Never gets old.
Whoooa Shatter is my favorite version of Brick Break of all time. Would love to see it on Switch!
In summation, it's happening and planned to be released on current gen consoles.
I do hope the PC version gets an update to reflect some of the moden console customization like controller options and maybe borderless fullscreen.
Was just playing Ring Fit Adventure last night and remarked upon how the suck and blow mechanics would work real well in Shatter, not to mention the motion control of moving the Ring-con back and forth. Then I log on here today and see this. Too strange!
I liked Shatter and GripShift. GripShift is one of the first digital titles I bought for PS3.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but GripShift is BC on Xbox One so it's playable on one modern platform at least.

Loved both Gripshift and Shatter. Excellent games that took familiar formats and actually iterated / subverted in a way that felt wholly unique.
This was a phenomenal game, and I'd buy it again for sure. Look into PSVR release please - Tetris Effect proved how powerful a game like this can be in VR.
It is the best game in the history of human existence!
Brief description is It's Mario Kart x Super Monkey Ball. In some ways it's similar to Rocket League, Trials, Joe Danger. Your goal is to get to the finish line as quickly as possible and their are side objectives that involve getting the collectables in the level as fast as possible too. There's lots of strategy involved in getting the fastest time possible.
For example take this stage(Shitty 13 year old youtube video incoming):
Their is a checkpoint at the other end of the track right before I blew up and when you blow up the game resets you to the last place you touched road. So, I used the environment to get to the checkpoint and blow up without hitting the road so I would reset closer to the finish line.

The original release on PSP CONSUMED ME. Loved the track editor.
Thanks. I see the game is still available to be bought digitally on Xbox marketplace and can be played on Xbox One due to BC. I might have to get it. I see it also has DLC that's exclusive to the Xbox 360 version.
I can't wait to play this on the best platform, the company branded platform which I pledge my allegiance. That is the platform that I'm most proud of.
OMG I loved GripShift!
I remember being starved for downloadable games on PS3 around that time and picked it up assuming it would be some forgettable time waster to tide me over till more stuff came out, but I had a blast with it. It really had that "just one more time..." addiction factor to it.
I'd snatch up a straight re-release on PS4 in a heartbeat.

As this has been bumped, I'll say this effort is still ongoing, just happening slower than we wanted. No release date yet, but hope to have an idea of when we might release in the next few months (probably sometime around mid year).
i will say back in the day, getting this overkill trophy made me laugh
Thanks for following up. Things have been moving forward, but as with my earlier note there have been some technical and logistical stumbling blocks which is dragging things out. The pandemic situation itself hasn't been much of a factor.
Our current efforts should hopefully have it releasing on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch before the end of the year, assuming all licensing and approvals happen as expected.
Still on track for the end of this year?
Were next gen versions added to the mix?
Played Shatter a lot on PS3. Fantastic game and the OST is amazing! Would love to see a return.
Holy shit this thread! Can't believe i've been missing it over the year too.
Port Begging redeeeeeemption

Sooo.... no. We've had things continue to drag out with our external team unfortunately. We have builds across most platforms that are working, and going through optimization and compliance work.
Once that is done, we'll be pulling development back in house and doing a pass over the graphics and the UI, with a view to modernizing a few things. Not sure I'd go as far as calling it a remaster at this stage but we want to make sure it looks nicer and certainly not dated.
So timeline is looking more like Q2 next year. But the next consoles are now in the mix at least too. At some point we'll actually make an official announcement which will probably indicate we have a good handle on things.
Well...ho.....holy shit? Good luck then!
EDIT: huh, I never caught this thread back when it was posted. This is cool stuff.
Thank you for the update! We appreciate you and your external team for working hard on this. Take your time and good luck with the rest of the development!
I've never played this game but bought the OST and listen to it all the time while I work - so good for coding! Can't wait to finally play it once it's on current/next gen!
How has this slipped by me for like 2 years? I was just listening to the soundtrack the other day and it's so awesome. Can't wait to play the game again on current/next gen.
