Join Our Live Interview with Bobby King on Monday 9/22 (Allgames.com)

[Crawley]

Yeah, a nice bunch of surprises here. Particularly with giving another EM a shot. Also liked hearing about Last Action Hero. Haven't played it before but have been curious. And of course Safe Cracker which I had a ball playing for the first time somewhat recently.

So good stuff.

Thanks for setting up that interview.

Hey, Derrick

Just wanted to say I love the format of your show, mate.

I particularly love the glorious Ms. H. Her voice (southern accent, to my Australian ears) was a joy to listen to.

You managed to get some stuff out of Bobby that we've been trying to extract from him for months.

Keep up the great work!

FYI: "alpha pane blume" was probably "alpha plane bloom"

I was typing while listening. It was frantic towards the end in the mad minutes closing the show. Spelling took a back seat.

 

[jaredmorgs]

Did I get this information right? Farsight has already finished an original table based on a Sony license and they are releasing it for Halloween on a separate app? If I heard it right, they must have really rushed this to get it finished.

A little worried that they did not give it the love it needs to be a success. Making a table from scratch and incorporating a good rule-set takes a lot of time.

Maybe this has been in the works for longer than we think?

Yeah, forgot about this rather big bit of news! Thanks Karl

I don't know whether we can assume the app or app content has been rushed. I think we can bank on the fact it will have the freemium token system Bobby alluded to in BlahCade 11.

My guess is that it will have rule depth similar to an EM, or early SS machine. Kudos to Farsight if they manage to get deeper rules than that in this first effort.

 

[jaredmorgs]

The thing that frustrates me with Data East (beginning with BTTF), Sega, and Stern tables is that because of the limitations of the FarSight Sound Mixer implementation we will never hear the glorious stereo soundtracks present in these tables.

BSMT 2000 in DE machines used an amplifier per channel to deliver 2.1 stereo sound. At the time, it stood out dramatically when playing tables without this technology. Sega continued this trend.

No worries, and thank you for the type up. Just putting the phrase alpha plane bloom in the thread so future forum searches can find this thread.

 

[DokkenRokken]

Last Action Hero was not confirmed or suggested at all, Bobby was kidding, trying to appease one of the interviewers. lol

You guys get too carried away with some of this.

 

[Kolchak357]

I think Bobby is very careful about what he says. Time will tell.

Well, there's no way on earth that LAH wouldn't need a KS. In fact, I'd bet money that it would need one.

That said, I'm pleasantly surprised about "Rescue 911". I've been wanting this table since Day 1, and based on company comments until now, I thought for sure it would never happen.

Like you said, time will tell.

 

[Kolchak357]

I hope both of those show up. They would surely be well received by the fans.

His responses have been nothing but measured in public up until this point.

This behavior while Bobby was on public record would be out of character for him. He sounded pretty sincere to me.

Again, the male interviewer was jokingly telling Bobby that he confirmed LAH on the air before he joined. When asked what tables could we expect, Bobby said LAH with a laugh. lol The guy was clearly joking, as LAH would need, without a doubt, a KS. I'm not sure why or how anyone could take that seriously? I think it's more dreaming than anything, esp when Bobby has stated hundreds of times the same few tables that are on his KS priority list. (TSPP, Indiana Jones, etc)

If I end up being wrong, you can bump this thread and I'll eat crow, but I'm gonna guess that a lot of people are in for disappointment. lol

 

[Fungi]

I'm gonna have to agree with Mr. Rokken here. I listened yet again, this time skipping to the 37 minute mark. The LAH call out was indeed a joke. Of course, never say never, but at this time, do not take what Bobby said in this interview so literally folks.

 

[Derrick Hopkins]

I wholly believe he was serious about Last Action Hero. (and not just because I was part of the interview.) As others have said, Bobby isn't one to play fast and loose with details. And also, he said that they have a licensing agreement with Sony Pictures and that they would be releasing several tables based on it. LAH is a Sony Pictures film. I think Bobby laughed because he realized that my wild call out at the beginning of the interview was actually on target by a crazy stroke of luck. It may or may not need a kickstarter but that wouldnt stop it from being on the list of tables a couple of seasons from now. Dracula didn't need a kickstarter, possibly because it's also a Sony Pictures film and included in the deal.

Words of wisdom: It's not a done deal until someone here is beta-testing it.
