Latest NEWS And INFORMATION On FarSight Studios' The Pinball Arcade

[Russell Bergman]

I love all the great news coming from FarSight today. I have to say my favorite update is they are not putting up with trolls that use extreme bad language and personal and hateful attacks. In recent months the fb page has been hard to take in. I've even heard ya'll had to ban people on this page! I guess the people that have been banned on this page made their way to the fb page and took over. I am glad and support FarSight and The Forum page for banning people.

Yes! I noticed Strikes N' Spares is no longer on the announced list. Unfortunately, they're planning on releasing all "but one or two" tables on BOTH PHOF collections. Space Shuttle and Firepower are bad enough, but now we also have Ace High and Central Park.

I happen to like Strikes N' Spares and Space Shuttle. Too bad about Strikes N' Spares

Some people actually like games that you don't.

This android release before iOS is bs. Apple better get their **** together when it comes to this. Apps should be released on iOS first. I am sure it is Apple's fault because of the process. It better change.

Why exactly should iOS be first?
(other than the you using iOS, I mean)

 

[Russell Bergman]

Space Shuttle and Firepower are CLASSICS! I can't wait to play the updated versions!

It will get worse with Apple.

And Android holds 56% marketshare on smartphones. So, no.... iOS should NOT get anything first.

UPDATE Lots of new information regarding DLC release time frames, PC, 3DS and Wii U development and future updates to the Game Center leaderboards.

Has there been any recent info on the MM flippers, Black Hole issues or bug & glitch fixes?
The Vita version has so many problems I gave up trying to play it until we get some repairs...

 

[PiN WiZ]

Has there been any recent info on the MM flippers, Black Hole issues or bug & glitch fixes?

Many of those issues have already been fixed and should be released, along with a few more bug fixes and improvements, for Android and iOS within the next two weeks.

True, but who cares about what others like? I want the games I like!

Though it will probably be a while before we console users can partake, that's great news!

Exactly my point.

PinWiz, has something changed for xbox dlc release. I understood we were currently waiting for packs 1,2 & 3. Your last update now states......

DLC Tables Pack #1 Release Dates : Xbox 360 soon.
DLC Tables Pack #2 Release Dates : Xbox 360 soon.
DLC Tables Pack #3 Release Dates : Xbox 360 by mid August.
DLC Tables Pack #4 Release Dates : Xbox 360 by mid September.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be glad for anything, but does that mean we only get packs 1 & 2 with this next update?

FarSight recently mentioned that DLC Table Packs #1 and #2 should be released on Xbox 360 soon with DLC Tables Pack #3 following closely behind their release.

Me too!
Went for a rare stroll through the Facebook page this last week, and it was good to see Gail R Schwartz is still kicking around sharing her thoughts....
Reading the revelation, that she likes to play Gorgar whilst having a cr@p has spoilt this table forever for me now though.
I shall never facebook again, just so she can't spoil BOP for me.....(involuntary Shudder).

Thanks PinWiz for the clarification! Be glad to get any DLC at all now.

Was just questioning, as only this week you stated "Just for the record, DLC Table Packs #1, #2 and #3 will all be released together on the Xbox 360." on the dlc schedule thread.

Thanks again. (fingers crossed for this week).

Some things must have changed in the past couple of days as now the Optional Update will more than likely be released a few days after the first two DLC Table Packs are released instead of with them.

The only consolation is that Sorcerer still seems like a no-go, and this may satisfy them as far as doing tables from the Gottlieb collection.

I thought Victory was decent, but I agree the music was weak. I'd much rather see Sorcerer make the cut than Victory however, so I hope it will be in a future release regardless.

It sounds like DLC 3 will be released a bit behind the others due to being submitted after the others despite it already being approved. It's frustrating because the product is already out but in any other situation, staggered product would be better to keep the product fresh and a nice stream of revenue. Of course since it is not a new product for other platforms, it would probably be best to just get everything released that they can.
