I'm also a bit surprised by the South Park tables. Fun fact: they actually approached FarSight a few seasons back and asked them if they'd make a new table, but FarSight said they didn't do original designs. Voila, Zen gets approached. So that's why I'm surprised they weren't able to secure the...

Enjoy this podcast, as we won't have another one out for another two weeks. Blame me, as I'm up in Portland yet again and traveling on our usual recording days. But hey, by then we should know a lot more about Zen's new Universal pack as well as TPA's WCS (World Champion Soccer *wink, wink*).

Go into the menu of TPA and select the controls menu. You can reassign the buttons, making the magna save go to the trigger instead of the shoulder button.

I had a conversation recently where I was asked the theoretical question of would the forum accept a modified art version of a table or rather not have it at all. I said most would accept modified. FS has already done it with various tables, and if it is the difference between getting to play it...

That's exactly what it is, but you have to have a controller that supports it. DualShock 3 was the best, because every button had incremental/analog response. If you want that effect with current controllers, your only option is using the triggers, which in my opinion is too much button to push...

No. Ignore that very old announcement. Possibility of it coming to the Switch, but nothing said to hold your breath for.

First day I got to Portland, I checked out Ground Kontrol as it was a short 12 minute walk from my hotel. I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't really impressed. It seemed like a bar that happened to have video games and pinball machines. By that I mean stuff was stuck in any corner it...

They long ago ran out of space. I visited during season 2 and they were full to the gills, with machines in every office, the conference room filled, and the 'repair' room that barely had room for doing table tear downs. Putting machines on location isn't about earning money, it's about building...

I know exactly who picked FP2 now, and he has been doing his best to convince me that it's awesome. I told him good luck with that. I know where he's coming from, but let's just say our taste in pinball sometimes veers wildly away from each other. Other times, and often with oddball tables...

Let me be clear. I do not know what bug fixes, tables, or releases are ready. What I am trying to get you guys to understand is the concept of 3rd parties being in control. For me this isn't hard to 'believe' as I see it all the time working in film and TV. On a commercial shoot, there's the...

And again I point back to the previous page with my post...it's Stern's call, not FarSight's. As in, FS might very well want to issue an update to Star Trek right now, but if Stern says no, then they can't. Everything goes through Stern first. This is not speculation on my part either, but the...

Yes, all SPA releases will be of Premium versions. I do wish the PRO version of certain tables would be made available also, like if GoT gets made, as they play a bit differently.

I think they need to take Zen's approach and not announce a thing until weeks before the actual release. That way they could ride the wave of buzz into sales, and negative comments will be overwhelmed by positive. SPA isn't a monthly release, so no need to constantly stoke the fire.

It's all up to the client. If they are happy with the end result, they'll ask for it to be released. They might be happy right now, but don't like the timing of a release. There might be some other aspect of the app that has nothing to do with any particular table that the client wants dealt...

More like build up a pinball community. They'd get way more money selling some of these machines than they ever will out of coin drops.

Thanks guys. My hotel is apparently right near downtown, so hopefully some of these places are close walking distance (no rental car). Wednesday thru Sunday are pretty much mine, other than camera prep, so I should have lots of time to check out the scene.

I'm gonna say this, for the upteenth time about anything relating to Stern Pinball Arcade... FarSight is at the mercy of the 3rd party licensor, Stern. They are simply making the product. If Stern wants it released early, they have to put it out early. If Stern wants them to hold off on...

We of the BlahCade Podcast just talked with Norman and he specifically said FarSight has not sold a single machine they have bought. That's part of why they are putting these out into the wild, they're out of room at the studio.

I am the host of the BlahCade Podcast along with fellow forum moderator jaredmorgs. Our particular pinball podcast is unique among others in that we focus A LOT on digital pinball. Check out our webside blahcadepinball.com for all our episodes or subscribe on iTunes. We record weekly for the...

Everything that's already been said, plus this... With emulation, it's not just the rules of the game playing exactly as they should, but also sound and lighting. There are light patterns that scripting just doesn't cover unless the person writing the script is VERY familiar with ever possible...
