Round 3: Post Your Questions for Bobby King

[brakel]

I have 2 questions:
1) Has FarSight considered doing for Casino Slot Machines what they are doing for Pinball machines? (I live in a gambling state so we get some cool slot machines here.)

2) Will FarSight be capitalising on The Pinball Arcade with either a sequel Pinball Arcade 2 or a all tables bundled together retail game package Pinball Arcade Collection ?

FS already said in an interview that they might release some kind of TPA collection on disc. It might have been the Nintendo interview.

Yes, Jay said that in the Nintendo Life interview.

1. I'm wondering if your license deal includes the opportunity to mod tables? That would be a nice bonus in a future disc version of the pinball arcade, to make it more interesting for people who have already bought all the tables? I'm thinking mainly about things that were left out of the original tables for cost reasons or added later as special additions. This could also be a wonderful stretch goal for possible future kickstarters
2. Would you consider adding extra wizard goals to keep the old tables interesting later on?

The first question they did state that they could mod the tables but they would have to go back for each individual mod and clear it through the original company. They also stated that it was not a concern up front but this could be something available down the road.
I do like that second question, though.

NEW RULE: Please limit yourself to posting 1 question per round, as this will make it more fair to everyone, and easier for me to select the questions.

Just a reminder....

 

[Jeff Strong]

Thanks Brakel

 

[karl]

So Sorry! Forgot that new rule. Will not happen again

 

[Dan]

Consider those "when will x be released" questions to be light nudges to push the ball in a certain direction

 

[Daniel Osborne]

My question...
Please give us the option to purchase tables individually - I think 240 msp is the cheapest you're allowed to charge.
I am not interested in gorgar or black knight, but am forced into buying them. I think that this is unfair.
Thanks.
Daniel.

That's not a question.

 

[Richard B]

That's not a question.

Perhaps he could simply rephrase it as "will we have the option to purchase tables individually on consoles, or get a bulk discount on Android / IOS versions?"

Thank you Richard. I typed it on a phone, didn't actually realise it wasn't a proper question. However, it still works as a statement. And with a little common sense by pin wiz, who is not short off such a thing, it can soon be turned into a question. it's not really an issue is it?

 

[brakel]

I thought you might like to know that your post wouldn't be selected as a question because its not a question. My response was not intended to be a question but rather a suggestion that you might want to rephrase. What does Pin Wiz have to do with it?

 

[Richard B]

True, it is Jeff Strong, not Pin Wiz, who is in charge of this thread and forum.

There's been a lot of complaints about the older, non-emulated tables, such as Gorgar, Black Knight, Black Hole, and Funhouse? Why didn't they wait until they got the emulation perfected before releasing them?

Funhouse is fully emulated, but I hope someone from FarSight can chime in on your question about the older tables.

 

[squidlr]

Could you ever imagine being in a position to commission a new table design from one of the old classic table designers to release the game exclusively on Pinball Arcade?

[Dan]

Jeff Strong, please disregard my question about Kickstarter for the PC. I've got another one and more interesting

Would you consider the tables in TPA to be easier than their real life counterparts?
(Just had a looooong game of RBION, where I nearly fell asleep, I was also tired but goddamn I ain't that good. True story.)

 

[spoonman]

Question:
Would it be possible to create a system where pinball enthusiasts could upload a "recording" of their last game for others to playback?
I still think this would be great for pinball amateurs to watch how the pros score big in real time.
