It's August (Designated Complaint Area)

[Sean DonCarlos]

Nooooooooooooooo!

Now we'll never see the beta...

As eager as everyone is to see it ready, I think we need to lay off the second guessing and armchair shoulda couldas that are going on here.

Seriously, the level of scrutiny that Mike and other FS employees are under in here is just not deserved.

I bet it wouldn't be comfortable if a vocal forum of fanatics questioned you on how, why, when and where for everything you did at work.

Sometimes I wonder if my avatar makes people read all my posts in an angry tone

This time it wasn't meant to be.

Never perceived it angry, but loud and authoritive like a super hero drill sergeant. Which is fine by me.

Are you on Steam yet?
That's all I want to know.
When will you be on PC?


The Pinball Arcade:

Barring catastrophe, by the end of the month

It is not even listed on the Steam page under "coming soon".

So what do you guys think the likely hood of seeing this released on steam to tie in with T2 being released??

 

[atlantis1982]

I say very likely.

 

[Lobotomy]

I say very likely.

Aye! Having T2 as a kick-start (phun intended) table for the PC must be perfect way to get the sales (to other than the freaks here ) going for the pc.

Don't you think it is about time to release some information about the beta test that was supposed to start last week? It was supposed to be late July, now it is August and not a word from FarSight to the beta testers other than those that paid $400 to be a tester? WTF!!
Communication is a way to get information out to people. FarSight should try it some time. Maybe they wouldn't have so many pissed off people.

Last I heard the PC was close but not quite ready yet. The iOS and android beta would probably start late this week or sometime next week (judging by previous beta schedules).

Did you receive an email about which platform you wanted to beta test on? I've heard some folks around here mentioning getting an email asking them.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

I am not talking about T2. Only the PC beta test for ANY tables.

As in Steam. Not talking about being a beta tester for PC after Steam is released etc. just to clarify.

 

[Kolchak357]

Ok, sorry, misunderstood you. I'd shoot them an email just to make sure you are on the list and ready to go when it does start. An email now might save you some hassle later.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Yes. Probably right. I think I will do that just to be on the safe side.

 

[bjkman]

Welp, I give up, Pinball is dead forever. Let's move on to more modern things, like Area 51, Outrun or maybe Dragon's Lair.

If You Believe That Then
Get Off This Forum Now!

 

[Carl Spiby]

Hahaha I think that was very tongue in cheek.

 

[Pete]

the tension is really building, we all are going nuts in anticipation of the steam release and some of us are starting to melt down and go insane. we keep reloading the forum pages over and over in hopes to see some type of news.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

The Beta testing tiers for for TZ and TNG were for $500+ backers.

The steam public release will be coming soon and we will be able to unlock your tables for you once steam provides us with unlock codes.

Thank you,
Pinball Arcade Support


WTF? What the hell happened here? That is the response I got from FarSpite.

 

[LanceBoyle]

Oh dear... this is gonna get messy...

 

[Pete]

well as long as the public release is coming soon all is happy in my world im pretty sure the beta testing on terminator just said all future projects anyways so you guys who put in for it will still get that forever

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Not talking about T2 testers. Talking about beta testing for Steam for a month before it goes public.
