Request General Wish List Thread

I am not sure if this has been suggested yet, but I would love to have an option to not render the game room and just leave a completely black background. That was how I always played Future Pinball since I found it made the table stand out more and look better; I think that would also translate over to TPA.

That would be an excellent and resource cheap way on mobiles to maximize the alpha blended lighting effects that are being used now. It might give the impression of lower ambient lighting without needing to do a lot of heavy processing.

Also make a few tweaks to the camera angles to make them equal and even across all the tables; so that the viewing angle is the same in each setting, on each table.

Since were talking about licenses -- how hard would it be to obtain the KISS license for the old machine?

KISS would be great! Loved that machine. Can that be done?

In theory it could be done but FarSight has said that it is unlikely that any tables that would need additional licensing fees for music will get made. I guess music licenses are much more expensive than TV, movie and other tie-in licenses.

Also, how about a random table selection option? Sometimes I just can't decide which table to play.

Glad I am not the only one to think of this. I too would like a random table button.

i would really like farsight to correct the sound of winning a special, this has bothered me since the beginning, everything else on TPA is pretty awesome, but there is nothing authentic about the current sound, in-fact this is the one sound that reminds me that i am playing a video version of pinball, one of the best things about playing pinball is that surprise knock on wood sound, with all the quality work they have done so far, it's hard to imagine that they are o.k. with the current wimpy and atari like sound.

I would really like Pinball Arcade for Android to respect my screen rotation lock settings. Perhaps it's something internal to Android I didn't know about, but even though I have the rotation locked so I can use my N7 when lying on my side, when I start Pinball Arcade it rotates sideways and isn't playable. I'd like to be able to play the game lying down occasionally.

I would love the 25th anniversary Star Trek table, that's table was awesome.

 

[Kemetman72]

It would be great to have the whole party series of pins. We already have Dr.Dude. So that would leave Party Animal and Party Zone. It would also be neat to have the trilogy of amusement park pins - Comet,Cyclone and Hurricane. None of these tables would require Kickstarters.

I'd like to see a Pro Version of Ripley's Believe it or Not!

 

[DoX]

I would personally like to see Addams Family, Ted & Red's Roadshow and Terminator 2 tables someday. But I understand licensing them would probably be too expensive. But one day, who knows... I've heard somewhere that Addams Family was the best selling machine of all time. Don't know if it's true or not, but I've played it alot in the arcade and the table is simply awesome!

T2 will be the next Kickstarter.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it before. How about on 360 and PS3 make the views lockable from the main selection screen so that you can only change views in game if wanted. I hate playing a game or having someone trying it out, and the wrong button is hit and the screen view changes. It would be much better if you could lock this and keep it from happening during a game. I know some may like it, and want to keep it that way. But what about being able to lock the feature so the view doesn't change in game, if wanted.

If it couldn't be changed during the game how would you get it set where you want it?

 

[Munky]

As far as minor features, I'd like an option to turn off that god awful menu music, in fact I'd really like to have a option for no music of any kind until you actually start playing.

+1. The added menu music does get a bit much after a while.

+1. I'm forever hitting the camera/DMD buttons by mistake, it wouldn't take a lot to add an option to the menu to lock/unlock these buttons. (The select button could also be used in game to lock/unlock these)
Why does the camera setting have to pop up (twice) every time you launch a ball, couldn't this just be shown when a camera button is pressed (or when the lock/unlock button gets pressed if this ever option ever happens)

Hi, I'm new to Pinball Arcade, but have been involved with Visual Pinball and real pinball tables for some years. There have been some great releases, but when can we see The Addams Family!

I have two suggestions:

1. Fix the bug on Cirqus where after competing the game, starting it within 3 seconds doesn't do anything.

2. Get Hurricane, Party Zone, and most other early 90s tables.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

If it couldn't be changed during the game how would you get it set where you want it?

They could make the selection screen one screen earlier. They could allow you to set the view before going into the table and keep it locked once in the game. Again, only if you lock it out. If you didn't lock it, you will still be able to change it in game.

 

[brakel]

It would also go a long way if it would remember each of our favorite camera angles for each table and each player. We've been asking for that since the core game was released.

 

[Sean]

Yep, still waiting for per-table camera settings here too.
