Hey guys, Arcooda themselves started a Q and A thread about purchasing here http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/13468-Arcooda-Pinball-Factory-Discussions
Please no commentary, but feel free to ask civil questions especially regarding purchasing so that truthful information can be given...
Dude, don't be that guy. Take the temperature of the room, read some posts where I myself have addressed what's going on this very week. There's a reason I have an open invitation to FarSight and can have discussions with other companies as well.
For some reason the poll is not letting you select multiple choices, which is odd. I honestly wanted you guys to be able to pick as many choices as needed.
Because that was explicitly forbidden by WMS as part of the agreement to let them sell through the 30th. I imagine there’d be some rather stiff penalties if the contract was breached in any way.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I suspect a few others were waiting for someone else to leap first, and this is the kink of info that helps. Look forward to other updates all the way to when that box gets delivered.
Kinect camera support is probably just like the coil and motor functions, tied specifically to the Arcooda Stand Alone software and not existent in the Steam Key download. Not saying someone wouldn't be able to create their own hack for making use of it, but Arcooda and FarSight are not going to...
Here's what I saw on the prototype cabinet; it's a PC running Windows 10. You have your desktop but it's in portrait mode. You open up Steam, just as you always would, and select TPA where you have choice of DX9, DX11, and Arcooda Cabinet mode. It's at that point the Arcooda software kicks in...
Gary also thinks Rollercoaster Tycoon is already in TPA. I don’t have release date info nor would I be able to say when if I did. That’s for FarSight to tell. I don’t own any VR system, so no I can’t make any comparisons. I can only speak to what I played at FarSight.
Why does Zen keep copying me with their tournaments? Maybe mine are warm-ups! Here's the Jurassic World results:
1. TheHatchet18 121 million
2. cc178 64 million
3. shutyertrap 60 million
4. NimbleLee 34 million
5. eebbid 33 million
No movie tie in for this week, so let's look to the news...
I played AC/DC and Star Trek. GotG? Keep dreaming! It’s runs on the same engine as before, but at 90 FPS it does require different tuning and might feel a little different from what you’re used to.
FarSight is actively trying to make this a reality. The question is where on the screen will they find the real estate. Unlike JJP, Stern is essentially using a larger DMD than full backglass, but it’s still large.
Oculus Rift was what I played it using. As in put it on, viewed the 360 environment, selected the game, and then played. Was running at 90 fps, very responsive, convincingly immersive that I tried to put the controller down on the glass that didn’t exist. Much like Arcooda, this is on Oculus’...
I don't know, Zen sometimes would go 3-4 months with no new release. Not lately, but used to. Of course they would release other non pinball related games in the meantime, and I think that's sorta what FarSight is working on by having these other IPs.
Just a heads up and we'll go more into this when we record our next podcast with special guest Gregg, who does Spacies Arcade videos, but I got word from Arcooda and want to make this perfectly clear:
If you want the full Arcooda cabinet experience, you'll need to either buy the cabinet before...
SPA is being turned into a free-to-play model, where you earn 'coins' that will let you can eventually buy a table with. SPA VR is well on its way, I experienced Star Trek and AC/DC and they looked unbelievable. Bobby is also really pushing the idea that FarSight can go day and date with a...
I was just up at FarSight on Thursday. Whoa Nellie is like 95% complete, Big Buck Hunter not so much. Most of their attention has been diverted to getting the Arcooda cab mode working before the deadline and getting the various storefronts switched over. Remember, for those that haven't...
