Ghostbusters on PC?

[IceMaster]

Not trying to join in on the complaining. Just wondering if/when Ghostbusters will see a PC release.

Not any time soon if ever

agreed...not complaining, just don't see the concept getting much traction. However, sales numbers on the phones will probably dictate which direction they go.

If they only do it on their "own made" tables, which are seperate apps, why would TPA App sales be affected?

 

[chinzman93]

I was only speculating that they might wait and see how the sales numbers on the phones look (successful or not) before deciding if it is worth the investment in time and resources to port to PC.

Ghostbusters? Are FS going down the Zen route now?

You know there are mods to real pinball tables too right?

Anyway I think it's just a test of the marketplace for things like that outside of TPA.

True but with so many real tables why not concentrate on those and getting the existing tables up to modern standards in terms of lighting, etc.

Actually, releasing Ghostbusters as own table is a bit wrong, if you ask me. In gaming terms it would more or less be a Total Converion Modification, it is Haunted House but with different skin and all, but the table design isn't made by Farsight.

While I agree that it would make more sense to bundle it into Pinball Arcade, it would also be harder to promote it that way.

The reason to have it as its own app is for publicity, so it can have its own entry on the store.

Even Zen do that, they have all tables available under the main app but also standalone versions of the different licensed bundles, so that they get more publicity when launched than plain DLC does.

Problem is that they would have to go through Greenlight again to get votes. And that's just a standalone table.

I haven't looked at greenlight in a while, but I think that program is only for 1st time publishers. Once you have published something on Steam, I don't think you have to go through that again.
