If you happen to be one of the other five people who own an Atari Jaguar, you've probably played the excellent Tempest 2000.
As chance would have it, a few months ago Llamasoft announced they were approached by Sony to write TxK, based"...on the essence of the original T2K. ... . We're not going to overload you with ultra psychedelia, but we will make it fluid and colorful and awesome-looking ... We're going to give you a perfect treat for your eyes, ears and thumbs with a modern extrapolation of one of the best shooters ever made on hardware that's just perfectly suited for it, and in a way that retains the purity of the original design."
A couple of weeks ago, a working version of TxK was demoed at Play Expo. Read below to see the video. It really seems to retain the aesthetic of Tempest 2000 enhanced by modern hardware and a full color range, with a touch of Space Giraffe tactics (you can kill enemies at the rim somehow at least).
