Does this mean the rubber bumper from TZ will be removed:
"There will be a future update that removes it from the game across all platforms."

Excellent report, it makes waiting for new versions easier.

Also thanks for asking about the PS3 version, or the "mono to stereo conversion". It's really too bad that Farsight has opened another front with their new menu but all the nay-sayers can be send to this article and asked for patience.

Great article. So anyone want to guess what the blurry machines are?

I'll start, there's a pinbot in the first photo of pins.

Pretty sure one of the blurred is Whirlwind.

Thank you for the good article. Very interesting and informative. So making changes and even bug fixs isn't a smple process. I don't know how beta test has been done but I guess they should put more forcus on the test so more issues will be sorted out before the first release.

Yikes, I'd better reach that 12b mark on TZ before they take that bumper out.

There is a picture of a distinctive red cabinet with the extra high/wide siderails in the first picture and in a later picture in the same room you can see the right side of the same cabinet. It is familiar but I just can't place it, any ideas ?

That is one of the few that I actually figured out. Victory.

Thanks man for covering all this! FS is getting so much undeserved hate lately. These guys are obviously doing what they can to provide new great tables, and staying above water while doing so! I can't imagine a better company for the job.

Hmm, not really a reason to blur PinBot and Whirlwind, since we know they had them for PHOF, and I believe it's pretty official that both are coming to TPA.
I just replayed Whirlwind on PHOF lately, and got a way better score than I used to have, simply from all the training I've gotten on TPA. It's incredible how much better the ball physics are in TPA, I didn't really notice that until returning to Hall of Fame. So now I'm really curious about playing a proper updated version of Whirlwind.

Nice read thanks for posting. The opaque ramps and other things on the Vita is dissapointing though. Ex: BoP

Nice job and thanks for doing it.

As far as the blurred machines go, any guesses on the one in the foregound with the picture of Rob Mann? It's the one with yellow lettering on the apron.

Hmm, farsight tends to sneakily release information on one or two new tables at a time.

There's about five or six tables that are blurred and most of them have been confirmed.

So that leaves one or two (maybe three) tables that haven't been announced.

Deliberate leak anyone? It's at least five times more fun than a Christmas crossword ^_^

Wow I didn't think there would be so many post on Christmas. Well first and foremost I would like to say thank you, Shutyertrap, for that very informative article you've written. I noticed the "blur" right away like everyone else. LOL I won't try to speculate though. I'll just wait for the announcement. Haha Again, thank you again.

For some reason, every time I look at the conference room photo I want to add thought bubbles showing the pinball machines plotting: "Tonight we take over the FarSight Studios offices, tomorrow, the world!"

Thanks for doing this, Chris.
