Ah, this brings back memories, doesn't it? Shatter released on PS3 back in 2009, an era in which the PS Store was still new and indie developers were starting to emerge. We remember having a blast with this modern take on Breakout and Arkanoid's block-busting concept, and now it's being brought back on modern platforms. Shatter Remastered Deluxe was announced a few months ago, but now has a release date that's just around the corner.
The remaster comes to PS5 and PS4 on 2nd November 2022, so it's just a matter of weeks before we'll all be competing for our place on the leaderboards. For those that don't know, this is an arcade game in which you fire a projectile into blocks to break them, bouncing the ball back in to keep the chain going. Of course there are power-ups, multipliers, and special blocks to mix things up, and a suite of modes to enjoy, as well as co-op multiplayer. This version presents the game in 4K resolution at 60 frames-per-second and will blast the electronic soundtrack with surround sound support.
We're excited to hop back into this, but what about you? Do you remember Shatter or will this be your first time playing it? Let us know in the comments section below.

Cool never had a ps3 so enjoying the streaming version just now on ps prem Will look forward to this.
Ah brilliant, i was actually looking the other day to see when this was out. Cant wait to play this game again loved it on the ps3, will be great with the better sound with my headphones on. Day 1 for me this one.
Is there a physical copy?
I was soooo close to getting the Platinum in this game but didn't in the end (well I think it was the Platinum Trophy. It's been years since I played it) Cool game it was
JUST HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!
Another one for Colin.
Shatter is radical.
Surprised to see this release on other platforms but good for Xbox and Switch fans to be able to experience this too. Great game!
Still got this on my ps3, so won't be buying again.
@Axelay71 No, you do not have Shatter Remastered Deluxe on your PS3.
@D34DL1N3R no I have the original release on ps3 so feel no need to buy this remaster on ps5. Great game but not top of my list to rebuy.
@Carl-G
Same here I always f'd up in one of the circular rooms and ruined my "no continue" run. I'm pretty sure I'll get it this time xD
Already have this through Netflix (and orig on ps3) but will probably still get it again anyway.
One of a handful of gems that was lost to the PS3 generation, can't wait to play it again! Now if they can get Trash Panic, After Burner Climax, and Outrun 2: Coast to Coast back on the Store, I'll be a happy bunny.
The soundtrack in this one is far out, dudes! I dig this game and since I disconnected my PS3 I've been itching to play it. Great news.
