Farsight's posted on the Facebooks that "The folks at Valve seem a little skeptical that Steam users want to play pinball." Hopefully they get enough emails to be convinced that selling Pinball Arcade would be a good idea. Speaking of, the 3DS version's been delayed until they optimize the ROM emulation.

Okay, I give up. How do I do the 200k skill shot on Bride of Pinbot? It's the last standard goal I have left (iPad version) and no matter how much I try, I get either 100k or 25k. Any tips or a screenshot of exactly how far back to pull the plunger? EDIT: Figures I'd land it as soon as I posted that. Physics!

There was an interview with one of the Farsight guys in GamesTM this month that had a couple of interesting tidbits of info. For example, some of their licensers have "suggested" that Farsight legally challenge people doing Visual Pinball remakes of their tables, but they're currently not interested in the idea because "Visual Pinball is good for pinball as a whole." Which is an interesting position for someone who's competing with free table recreations to take, but I guess Farsight can't preserve every table, as much as they want to. Speaking of, they still haven't given up on The Addams Family. They also gave some kudos to the guys at Zen as well, which is nice.

Yodzilla posted:Are there any screenshots of whatever that new lighting is supposed to be in the New iPad version of Pinball Arcade? I can't even find any on their own website.  Doesn't seem to do much except desaturate the colours and gently caress up the framerate. Whatever they're trying to do, it's probably busted.

Oh hey, Zen Studios actually remembered they have mobile versions to support. They just released Captain America for the Android version of Zen Pinball, and Fantastic Four for the iOS version. Why different tables for each version? I dunno.

Also, finally catching up on the table packs after being too busy to play for a while. So much pinball! It's surprising just how fun Big Shot is considering how ancient it is.

Farsight want you to vote on which of three Bally tables gets the TPA treatment next. Centaur is way ahead, but Fireball and 8-Ball Deluxe are are also up for vote. The estimated release date for whatever table wins is in May or June.

And the next Table Pack has been announced! Genie (Gottlieb, 1979) and Attack From Mars (Bally, 1995) are next up to bat. EDIT: Curses, beaten. Farsight has been posting a lot of status updates on various versions as part of a daily "Twelve Days of TPA Christmas" thing. To summarize: PS3/Vita: Eight different packages in varying states of review at SCEA and SCEE. Sony Format QA currently reviewing Pro versions of Medieval Madness, Scared Stiff, Tales, and Twilight Zone. The next release will be somewhere between January 22 and February 13. Xbox 360: Finalizing contract with new publisher, which as been complicated due to the previous publisher going bankrupt. The game's "re-launch" will be submitted to Microsoft in January. Twilight Zone and Star Trek will be available at re-launch, and all previous DLC purchases will still work. Aiming to have 40 tables released on 360 by the end of 2013. Android: Twilight Zone released on Amazon. Star Trek submitted immediately after since Amazon doesn't allow two updates to be in submission at the same time.

Farsight released a platform update on Facebook. To summarise: Xbox 360: Crave has filed a reorganization plan with the court, is scheduled to emerge from bankruptcy this summer. As soon as that happens, all unreleased tables will be submitted to MS, with plans for discounted season packs to make it easier to catch up. Wii U: Beta enters internal test next week, scheduled for release in September. First 16 table packs will be available at launch. Ouya (lol): Ready as a launch title with all table packs available. Steam: Just hit internal test this week! If you're a Kickstarter backer entitled to PC beta access, keep an eye on your email. Public release is scheduled for August. PS4: WIP build shown at E3, showing a new lighting engine in which all 100+ lamps on a table are individually modelled. Will have Cross-Discount feature so if you've already bought a table on PS3/Vita it'll be cheaper for PS4.

Kind of a pity that the UI is the exact same as on the tablets. It would have been nice to have a UI that actually took advantage of the PC. At some point a couple of years back I mocked up something to that extent, the end result wasn't fantastic, but sadly it might be a little better than what Farsight ended up with

Today I found a place that had both Pinball 2000 machines set up!  Also, I didn't have any change on me.  I wanted to play Pinball's ET!Kind of weird that I'm suddenly finding machines around the place again now that TPA's been running for a while.

Hekk posted:Has anyone else noticed the Season Two pack is ten bucks more than it is on other platforms (PS3/Vita)? I am not really that upset about having to repurchase tables I own on the PS3, but I am a little perplexed about the price difference in the two platforms. I rarely play on my PS3 because of the input lag and was really looking forward to buying the Season Two pack on PC. From playing TOTAN, I'm pretty happy with the PC version as it stands - the sound quality boost over the iOS version is great. Only complaints I have is that the fancy lighting from the PS4 version isn't in (yet?) and the texture resolution could be higher.

I saw a Big Hurt table in a bar tonight and gave it a quick bash. It was pretty drat fun, though it wasn't very well lit... not sure if that's a maintenance problem or not though, since the sound was practically muted. Anyone else play it?

Lester Shy posted:Wow, Attack From Mars is basically Medieval Madness on PCP. Except it came out two years before MM. I also got to play Episode 1, and hoo boy, that one isn't good at all. The plunger and ball launch chute were crap, turning it into a titanic battle to launch the ball into play all the while Jake Lloyd's non-union voice double shouts "shoot using the plunger, then use the flippers!" as if I'd never thought of that.
