[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 90285, member: 1233"] Indeed, and whilst PS1 emulation isn't that much of a problem (it's patchy but mostly good) you don't even need a physical console or a physical disk (if 'backed up' correctly) By contrast, the PS2 has only just started to be emulated in a way that isn't awful. If people actually try for PS3 emulation I'd say 10 years until we get something working even moderately ok, and PS4 emulation may well not be out in our lifetimes. You double the power of a console, you double the effort needed to emulate it correctly. Besides, even long lasting games that rely on DLC for continuity like Rock Band have stopped making it's DLC. Whilst you all could argue that it's catastrophic, that's not to say that Harmonix (the guys behind it) aren't thinking of a new thing to launch for the PS4. And if all that's a success then they might make something for a PS5 and PS6 and so on and so on. The Pinball Arcade is capturing pinball at the best it can at this moment in time, just like Microsoft's Pinball Arcade did the same back in '99 and so on. It's a digital snapshot, and let's just not get too ahead of ourselves with this, plenty of things that are even more enjoyable have disappeared into nothingness before now. What we can hope that TPA will do is help to create a surge in popularity in pinball so that the future generation may be able to own their own physical tables with more cost effective and reliable parts. And as long as people are willing to pay for pinball products, there'll be pinball products to be sold :p [/QUOTE]
