Actually given what happened last year, I was quite happy to see my Sharks go out and do that to the Kings. It doesn't make up for last year, but it's the first step they have to take.
The thing to remember about Eight Ball Deluxe's popularity, (and the reason that I would like to see it come to The Pinball Arcade), is the nostalgia factor. Eight Ball Deluxe's ruleset is not incredibly deep as I recall. The sounds and light show are not bad, but not amazing. By all those...
Flippy, that's a fantastic list you compiled. The only two other things I'd love to see added are:
- Dynamic table challenges that pick random tables and random scores to beat (maybe based on some multiple between 1/6 and 6 times the #100 score of the weekly leaderboard). Never the same...
Felt weird voting for High Speed, Black Knight 2000 and Whirlwind as they're already in, but they really are three of my favorites. My other two are F-14 Tomcat and Riverboat Gambler.
One table that I know will never come to The Pinball Arcade that I wish would somehow is Defender. I never played the pinball table IRL (because I never saw a local table growing up). But, I've seen game play video of the table. The ruleset looks too simple, and the table is too obscure for...
They've occasionally mentioned partnering with Stern or someone else to co-produce virtual and IRL tables to be released simultaneously. There was no mention of that here, but that would be lovely if they did it with a Sony license, (like, say, Ghostbusters).
I have to say, I was also VERY...
The impression I got from Bobby in the Blahcade Podcast was that Data East emulation was coming in the fairly short term, but wasn't quite ready from prime time yet. So, we could see it in the early-to-mid Season 4 timeframe, but it's probably not ready for Table Pack #31. That said, Phatom Of...
If Phantom Of The Opera is off the table for a while, and Bone Busters makes for a "meh" start to Season 4, I'm beginning to suspect we may see a break from our two horror-themed table pattern. Could Red & Ted's Roadshow start Season 4? If it doesn't, it'll be one of the first few of the...
Yes. This. I could almost forgive it being a simple masher if there was some good background music or some satisfying sound effects. But, there is nothing redeeming about that repetitive noise it makes. I still play it on rare occasions, and the collector's instinct in me wouldn't feel right...
I should note that if FarSight wanted to implement a "LAST score" tournament, there'd be a bit of engineering work ahead of them. They'd have to either A) post to their servers as soon as you hit the START button indicating that your old score was no longer valid, or B) post to their servers if...
