This brings up the point that they are saying "With the release of the Stern Pinball Arcade we will be implementing FarSight Pinball Physics 4.0 which will be even more realistic." for this new Kickstarter.

I don't doubt that the complaints about the existing games are valid, although not game breaking. I don't see how this pertains to Kickstarters though. I see Farsight and Zen's licensing deals as two completely different animals. Zen seems to have struck a very wide reaching deal with Disney...

What exactly is this "wake up call" or "kick in the a$$" certain people seem to be hoping for? If the Kickstarter fails, I would say the chances are very high that we, the consumers of the application, just aren't going to get certain highly sought after tables. Farsight isn't going to suddenly...

Who holds the rights to those Williams/Bally tables? I think Stern does (maybe not)? So we may see some of the more popular tables ported over. I guess the issues preventing that would be that they may not have the CAD files (in whatever format the new tables are designed) for conversion, and...

Personally, I think the recent Sterns are fantastic machines. The rulesets keep getting better and they are very enjoyable. The main problem I have with them IRL is the build quality. Except for the Limited Editions, they feel very cheaply made and they are always having issues. Pretty much...

I think you are correct about the implementation of "Physics 3.0", but as far as "Physics 4.0", there doesn't appear to be any promise of it being put into the existing TPA tables. What I understand from the AC/DC kickstarter is that they are going to be able to implement "4.0" only for the new...

+1. Exactly. I don't think I'll ever understand all the negativity around here. I guess the haters just gotta hate.

Visual Pinball doesn't even compare to this. This is full 3D, like Pinball Arcade. Visual Pinball is 2D. Since it's fully 3D, it can also support VR.

I really hope Farsight is going to support Vive too. I will definitely get either Rift or Vive eventually, but I'm leaning toward Vive with the current information available on both. I'm going to wait and see after both have been out for a bit. Gotta save up that money too.

Still waiting on the official news that was promised "later in the fall", but I'll be real let down if it doesn't make it to PC. Trying to play on mobile after using PC or console just sucks.

I'm real disappointed to hear about the Stern app being mobile only too. However, I tried a few Stern's on VP (X-Men, Transformers) and they definitely were not amazing. More like almost unplayable.

Just bumped my pledge up to Wizard level. I'm getting discouraged that there aren't more backers. This looks fantastic and I'm real excited to develop for it.

Are you suggesting he takes requests for building a digital version of a real pinball table? If so, I don't think that is a good idea at all. I assume the product is intended to be a digital pinball construction set of sorts and not a direct competitor of Farsight. I seriously doubt he wants to...

21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson

I would love to see Swords of Fury. Just took a look at the poll, and if Farsight is going off of that, it looks like the majority of my wish list other than SoF is a long shot. I am going to assume most people never had a chance to play Road Kings, Barracora, Defender, Blackout, etc... instead...

I'm waiting too. I already own everything on PS3 so I've been buying the PC seasons (pro version) when they go to 50%. I hate double dipping at full price. I'm not holding my breath though. I think it will be a fairly long wait.

Not sure how deep you can call it, but Godzilla is a fantastic machine. I'd rate SST number one and Godzilla number two from SEGA.

Thank you, thank you for bringing this up again. I thought I was the only one that was being driven crazy by this problem. This shows that the tables do not go through a very thorough testing and these problems really need to be fixed.

Are there plans for VR support (Oculus, Valve, whatever...)?

With the new flipper physics, can we do proper cradle separations now? I'm guessing not based on vikingerik's post stating that there aren't actually new physics but a series of new logical conditions, but I'm hopeful. What's everyone's experience? Is it close to real life or is it still flip...
