    android vs console physics?

    I think it feels more floaty on my Xbox :\

    What new tables will f.s bring us in 2014??

    I can't imagine what "emulating the system controller" involves other than mapping the emulated CPU's signals to the game engine and vice versa. Sure it's work, but nothing similar to emulating the workings of a CPU chip.

    Will it be possible to download and play the demo without using Steam?

    Table Pack #21 speculation

    I'm hearing very mixed reports of this, but it seems the general consensus is that it did come with them. I think it's likely that some runs were produced with and some without. Or maybe with two sets of flippers for the operator to choose? Or, like you said, maybe the ones shipped to Europe had...

    TNT Amusements vs. Gameroom Collectibles

    Wow, just as you though it was impossible to go any lower. I rarely say stuff like this, but this guy deserves to go out of business. In the famous words of Rudy: "Hey, it's only pinball!"

    Skrillex and Savant are typical electro artists that have adapted some of dubstep's sound, like a lot of other music has recently, as they are elements that go well together with other stuff. The result is typically refered to as "bro-step" as a joke, but it's a pretty apt description. While I'm...

    I'd so love to play the PC version, wish it weren't a Steam exclusive :(

    He just played here last week, drunk as hell, didn't want to go on stage, played for 1½ hours anyway, messed up some mixes, but it was fun :) Less than 50 people there. </off-topic heroes>

    Table Pack #21 speculation

    Damn, I just realised Fish Tales will probably be included with its lightning flippers. Those really ruin the game I think, giving you much less control over the ball, and more random drains. The game clearly wasn't designed with those in mind. But then again, they didn't include lightning...

    Table Pack #20 speculation

    Cue Ball Wizard does look nice, but knowing how well early 80's Ballys always play (EBD seems a lot similar to the previously mentioned Playboy table that I like a lot), and how boring most newer Gottliebs (Premier) tend to be, I'm having my doubts. Either way, both should have their chance.

    What new tables will f.s bring us in 2014??

    ..which wouldn't be necessary if you had the source code to the game. The chips interpret compiled code, not the source code. Only thing that needs "emulating" are the drivers that control the game, such as light, switches, display, etc. stuff that wouldn't be any different from existing tables.

    The Goin' Nuts pack sales were abysmal because it simply was not interesting compared to all the amazing packs that have come out previously. Time to head to the music thread to infect people with some some Bong-ra, Enduser and Sickboy and whatnot! \m/

    What new tables will f.s bring us in 2014??

    Would they even have to emulate anything? Surely they can get the source code from Stern.

    Class of 1812 Tips & Strategies

    If the left ramp is easy to make, just keep shooting it. If they didn't fix it to make it harder, it really breaks the game since it's the only thing worth doing. Otherwise, the drop targets on each side usually nets the fastest points and are surprisingly safe. When you're not shooting those...

    What new tables will f.s bring us in 2014??

    This is SO obvious that I wonder what's keeping them back. I wonder if they've already tried to pull off this deal, and something prevented it from happening? I only see two risk factors: 1. Stern thinks TPA would compete with their new products. This can be debunked as they've been quoted to...

    Table Pack #20 speculation

    Why? What's so difficult about emulating a 14 year old computer program that was probably already aged when it was released. The system that controls Pinball 2000 is about as simple as a powerpoint presentation, I doubt it would be any harder than a WPC game. FS said they don't want to do...

    Table Pack #21 speculation

    I'll take that as a "confirmed" for Fish Tales. Not that there was ever any doubt.
