The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
yes, the same core. but that doesn't mean cross-compatibility. you can reuse some code but you still have to program for the platform in question. there's rumors that in the future, it will be a phone that runs windows 8, and that windows phone 8 as an operating system will go away but that's... -

The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
No. Phones are Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 7.5, and Windows Phone 8. Windows 8 is Windows 8 for laptops, desktops, and tablets. completely different operating systems and completely unrelated. The marketplace for Windows Phone is not the same as the marketplace for Windows 8/RT. In fact... -

The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
Biff, this is a completely idiotic post with no merit. at least have some facts before making a post like this. it just comes off as completely fanboyish. only fanboys have to make up stuff to get people to get the Steam version. -

Anyone remeber alittle game called tempest 2000?
if you want a free better clone of Tempest 2000, check out Typhoon 2001. free and easy to download on the PC. fabulous game. you can run it at fantastic resolutions and still have cool special effects. I run it at 1920x1080 at over 100 fps. here's a sample. it's not as smooth or sharp as...- dirtyvu

yeah, FarSight has so much on their plate and they're struggling to get things done. so many platforms, so much left undone... -

The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
I've never thought physics has ever been a strong point of Pinball FX2/Zen Pinball 2. The game is cool and all. But it doesn't feel like pinball. It's way too easy to do things like trap the ball. The ball movement is way too predictable and controllable in the video pinball. The game is... -

Windows Surface
I saw a guy at Wingstop (buffalo wings restaurant) with the Dell XPS 12 machine on the table next to us. It's a lot smaller than I imagined (I just pictured a weird flippy screen machine). He was having some kind of business discussion with his friend. going through web links and stuff...- dirtyvu

The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
that's the thing with drivers. these graphics card companies are in an arms race and release video cards so quickly. and it takes a few revisions before a solid driver comes out with the card. but then they can make changes which break things in previous driver revisions. and before they get... -

The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
yeah, that's the joy of trying to program software for so many different PC configurations. programmers make their games based on their development PCs and the hardware and drivers that they have on-hand. they program to the high level API and depend on ATI, Nvidia, Intel, etc. to implement... -

if you don't like the situation, you need to let Nvidia hear about it. pinball fans are a small group but they can be vocal like other groups. Tomb Raider is really terrible with Nvidia cards right now and their fans are in an uproar. And it's reached all the mainstream gaming sites. Nvidia... -

Zen Pinball Star Wars - Voice sample comparisons
it was obvious from the beginning that there were a lot of rerecordings with soundalikes. I'm a big SW fan and I would say at least 40% of the clips (at least for the Empire table) are rerecordings with soundalikes. There's no way that is Harrison Ford's voice. and Polygon fished out the info...- dirtyvu

The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
honestly, I read that and it seems that neither has a clue and both are just conjectures. all you can go by is what you see with your own 2 eyes. there are plenty of Windows Store games that don't require an Internet connection (I have yet to run into one that does need it). So you can make... -

The Pinball Arcade Is On Its Way To The Windows 8 Marketplace!!!
yeah, there's no reason Pinball FX2 should require an Internet connection. there are many Windows Store games that do not require an Internet connection so this must be the DRM implementation that Zen Studios wanted or chose. hopefully they fix it. also agree about the inability to try out...
