I always hoped they would at least make the surrounding environment flash.

Welcome Back to Digital Pinball Fans - please read this first
HighSpeed by Williams
- Thread starter rucopacetic
- Start date
I always hoped they would at least make the surrounding environment flash.
I remember them specifically saying they want to release HS1 before Getaway. Also, let's not forget the licensed song (La Grange by ZZ Top) that's in Getaway, making it more difficult to acquire proper licenses.

i am 100% with you!
i love this machine one of my absolute favorites and it is a million times better then "the duel", i think the table is just simply called highspeed and the backglass pictures two state troopers looking through their windshield at what i think is a red ferrari, i love this gamei can't say it enough, and it was kind of a let down when this website ran a few polls to see what some of us thought were the best machines and if i remember correctly "the duel" had better results....totally bummed because i didn't enjoy "the duel" as compared to countless hours i spent playing "highspeed", i would gladly pay a premium price for highspeed as well as "the simpsons", "the comet", "cyclone"...

I always think about that with Whirlwind. Having a connected USB Fan on top of the display being started when the the storm is coming

I remember reading about someone at one of the pinball expos who had hooked up a leaf blower as the topper to a Whirlwind. Now you really can "Feel The Power Of The Wind!"

Don't forget the James Woods likeness as the driver in the ball lock 2 animation.. (not really)
the design of ramps and all parts in the same place do though. Though on victory the left upperflipper is on the right

No but seriously, they are nothing alike. Please stop trying to defend yourself as it's obvious you've never played High Speed.

Oh c'mon, they could be twin! Just look...
...they both have flippers at the bottom, they launch from the right, and uh, well you have to see it, right? So what if HS has loop shots, no drop targets, multiball, is an incredible flow table, and lacks an upper playfield with two flippers. Those things are minor! If I squint hard enough, I can barely tell them apart.

Nup. It's too cheap for being something you can just put together and it'll work... I'm guessing there's more to it than what he's saying. Otherwise he would've fixed it up already himself.
I don't have that luxury... only time I get that effect is if a friend is nearby, then I just ask them to blow on my face when it's appropriate.I always think about that with Whirlwind. Having a connected USB Fan on top of the display being started when the the storm is coming
ahem

Well, I reckon FS are sticking to the pattern of working through the user polls for Williams and Bally for this release. The end of Season 2 was the top-rated Gottys in descending order. Now I think what they're doing is #1 Williams, #1 Bally, #2 Williams, #2 Bally... The #2 Williams is The Getaway. So we might see one of them soon, if my theory holds.
They might surprise me, though!

Maybe the top 2-3 but wasn't whodunit #6 and bk2k # 9 or something like that?

Hard to tell as you can't sort the list, but it looks like they were both top five. Don't think Junkyard was, though.

I would prefer the Getaway over the original High Speed. I love the supercharger!!
I am commenting the designs of the tables i don't need to defend myself ;-)

I'll agree on theme and the use of red on the bottom third of the playfield. But for me, they don't play anything alike. Lots of pauses on Victory, while High Speed is frantic. Shots feel very different to me as well.
If they do make High Speed, I hope the camera views are better than they are on Victory. The iOS camera views suck on that one. Three that are way too high and one that is too low. (Why I rarely play it)
