The game just got released for Oculus!
lolwut
But if things remain the same, it will be just like TPA where it is technically free and you pay for tables. Free game on Occulus is Frankenstein, and $10 for Star Trek sounds good.

Okay, so you're Stern Pinball Arcade
That don't impress me much ..

The graphics in that video look like even sub-DX9 quality. I really, really hope that's not how the PC version will look...

Graphics are indeed DX11, judging from chrome rails on the first three shown, along with GI. Star Trek is looking VERY early.
Everything else seems to be fine. It may also be the heavily toned-down lighting effects (which I don't know why they did that).
The video says that that is the PC version running on Occulous? And that it has already released on the Occulus store?
That can't be right, it looks horrendous. Like an old iOs version running at 20 frames per second. That doesn't seem like an ad Farsight would release... it makes it look bad.

I do believe you, it just looks very weird. There's that off-looking GI and the multi-color LEDs in Stark Trek look like textures getting replaced instead of true light sources.
Let's see what happens until Fall.

That being said, they've NEVER done LED lighting before.

I did. Turned room brightness to 0-10% and bulb brightness to 60-80% on all tables and called it a superbright LED mod
But yeah, multi-colored lights should be interesting to implement. I just hope they switch to multiple point lights for it instead of textures that don't interact with their surroundings in the Fall release.

Just watched the video. Are Frankenstein, Ripley's, and Starship Troopers even new? Or just ported and rebranded versions of TPA for Occulus? Disappointing looking graphics and same bog-standard physics. Enthusiasm waning.
Will the Steam PC version deliver something inspiring? Star Trek is the table I was most excited about, and it looks the least impressive of the four in the video!
Yikes...

On the plus side, seemingly better audio from Star Trek
EDIT: For the record, it's Gear VR. No wonder quality seemed so low.

Think its Samsung, hence why they bundle it with the new S7 mobile

Really weird news! I really hope the non-VR versions look better than that.
