Request Beta of Pinball Arcade for PC?

[Carl Spiby]

Will the beta be distributed through Steam?

Good to hear it's coming along! I cant wait to play on PC with a controler more suited to nudge than my Kindle; where in the heat of battle my fingers miss the flippers at critical moments .

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

Any progress on the cabinet/portrait mode?

Not yet.

Will the beta be distributed through Steam?

Yes

I would consider backing T2 just to get PC Beta access, I'm not especially a fan of T2 but I do like Steve Ritchie's stuff. Guess I'll just have to wait until August like everyone else!

Bizarrely I'm in the opposite end of the spectrum where I backed Star Trek:TNG on 360 and technically should have switched it to pc by now but would rather buy the pro pack when it hits so I know that my table isn't reliant on farsights servers.

Or would a completely different thing be happening with the tables on Steam?

If I had to guess it would work like the ps 3 dlc. We would most likely get steam keys to activate which won't tie us to farsight servers. Just a guess though.

I think I'll wait on it to see what the deal is then go about swi...Oh what am I kidding? I'll buy the pro pack anyway so even if the servers go down I'll still have a copy of the table tied to my account with the pro pack.

Now to see if the deadline has passed on switching consoles <_<

EDIT: Just checked my kickstarter survey and realised that I chose windows as an option anyway. I didn't even know it was an option :O

 

[Richard B]

Is the PC version out yet (or at least have a firm date?)

There's a lot of talk about this. Is the PC version out yet?

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

Not yet. It's in internal beta at FarSight. Latest rumor has it that kickstarter backers should get their beta this month, with a release to follow in August.

 

[Carl Spiby]

If it doesn't come out soon I'm going to explode, can you live with that Farsight?

DO YOU WANT MY BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!?!!11/11/

Don't be silly. You can't explode with enough force to get your blood from the UK all the way to California.

Challenge accepted.

Or you could just do it the French way and fart in their general direction. Less messy. (unless you have a bad stomach of course)

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Will we get the beta an hour before the official Steam release? That's about what it seems. So sick of waiting for this damn beta. It has been over a year now.

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

So sick of waiting for this damn beta. It has been over a year now.

Right, you've already waited a year...so a couple of more days is going to kill you at this point?

I'd like to see it soon, too, but if FarSight is still finding and squashing major bugs and is not ready to unleash the beta, then there's no point in rushing matters.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

I am sick of the delays. We were supposed to have the beta a long, long time ago. Why they didn't deliver when they were supposed to, only they know. Oh, and Wii U will be released within the launch window. Ha.

 

[karl]

Your virtua pin getting hungry? I feel for you but just forget about the beta. The official release will be out August anyway so no reason to loose sleep over the beta anymore.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

My virtua pin is starving for some TPA. But that will be another delay, even after Steam release.

 

[Carl Spiby]

I'd like to see it soon, too, but if FarSight is still finding and squashing major bugs and is not ready to unleash the beta, then there's no point in rushing matters.

So you're saying we'll have it in 2 days? I'm going to hold you to that

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

So you're saying we'll have it in 2 days? I'm going to hold you to that

No, I'm not saying that. (I have no idea when it will be out.)

Besides, if it isn't, you won't be around to call me on it anyway, since your blood will be in a post-explosion flight to California.
