    Season 8 wishlist

    If they do get the LCD problem tackled, Bobby mentioned that the goal is to go day and date with the actual release of the real thing. Says that licensing provision is built into the current Stern machines too.

    Official Announcement.

    The next 5 tables are going to be Stern, based on what everyone knows. So that’s the next year of releases. In that time they’ll hopefully be able to figure out deals with the other companies, and also he closer to having Stern LCD figured out.

    What table/season should I buy?

    Ghostbusters is already part of TPA, so that won't be part of season 8. All the seasons are getting rebundled before 'season 8' is a thing, so I think it's safe to say you won't be buying it twice. The other thing is FarSight has said they won't be doing season passes anymore so you'll be able...

    Season 8 wishlist

    In our interview with Bobby, he said they are looking to release 5 tables a year. I don't know if that will be the new 'season' or not, but there ya go.

    You'll have to contact and ask Arcooda that. I know what they are selling in the large bundle is Pro versions. That being said, they're not opening the coin door and accessing anything special that would be in Pro mode, so I would think regular version would be fine.

    Official Announcement.

    They didn't used to think they could do Capcom, being warned that the emulation was tough and it'd be a system hog. Now that they are dealing with modern devices, being able to put out something like Ghostbusters which is way more than what any Capcom would need, it's totally in the realm of...

    To the best of my knowledge, it’s an active backgkass as far as lighting goes. I can’t speak to the scoring on pre dmd but assume it’s there since FarSight had made those work in the table fly overs. I do know that Arcooda had FS specifically redo the backglass so they weren’t blown out (over...

    Let's just say Arcooda was led to believe that FarSight was much farther in the process than they really were. Agreement was made over a year ago. Meanwhile Pinball FX3 worked in their cabinet with little to no adjustment at all. I don't believe FX3 can do the head tracking though, but I...

    Absolutely it is better than FreeCamMod. If you watch the video, you'll see the 4 camera angles. 3 of them you can tell have greater detail and the look changes as if it is set deeper into the cabinet. The last look is essentially the top down 'flat' look you'd see on an iPad. There are unique...

    For those interested in cabinet mode, Arcooda just made available what they've been working on with FarSight, but it's only available until June 30th. Unfortunately FarSight hadn't completed all the tables yet, but 76 are done. Check out the info here...

    Cabinet Mode for TPA via Arcooda Software

    FarSight has been working on custom software with Arcooda, makers of video pinball cabinets. This is the cabinet mode many have been clamoring for, but it's no mere camera angle port. Unfortunately the announcement of the loss of the WMS license has put a huge kink in Arcooda's plans, mainly...

    Official Announcement.

    Arcooda hired FarSight, not the other way around. There’s video I’ll be able to link tomorrow where you can see this isn’t some flip the switch and it’s cabinet mode by FarSight, but actual improvements. On top of that, the thing you’ll soon discover that is available exclusively to Arcooda...

    Official Announcement.

    I just finished my interview with Bobby King, VP at FarSight. It will be part of our next podcast which should drop no later than Tuesday. I specifically asked him about SPA being redundant, but he said it's going to shift in how you can play it. TPA will be where you can buy the games outright...

    What table/season should I buy?

    I was asked a similar question on Twitter. My answer was that Seasons 1 and 2 are musts. Season 4 and 7 are my next choices. Then just pick up 8 Ball Deluxe, The Getaway, Fish Tales, and Fireball from the other seasons. It truly does come down to your own taste in pins though.

    Why do I think Norman retired? Well considering I actually have his phone number and have talked to him, that he literally is retired and spending his days bowling and playing video games, that he told me "it was time to go", I'd say I have a little more info than your second or third hand...

    Official Announcement.

    Actually 2/3rds of the game will go poof. As for getting out WMS tables instead of Gottlieb, that wasn't how the contract worked. After the initial agreement, FarSight negotiated and was limited to 20 titles. On top of that, they had to get approval for their choices by one of the Sharpes, who...

    Nope, not possible. FarSight isn't allowed to even sell the digital version on Switch, so putting it out on a physical disc that would then have a shelf life after the cutoff date is for sure a no go. I'm hoping to put these server questions directly to Bobby when I interview him on Thursday for...
