Latest NEWS And INFORMATION On FarSight Studios' The Pinball Arcade

[PiN WiZ]

Yeah but still no words on table pack 5. I'm still hoping for double the fun

DLC Tables Pack #6 is definitely coming out tomorrow for PS3 (NA) and PS Vita (NA). FarSight is still waiting for Sony to reply on the status of DLC Tables Pack #5 which may come out tomorrow or possibly the week after.

 

[DarthVonDoom]

Thanks for the update. 2 packs in 2 weeks would still be like Christmas.

Sony's high in Halloween right now it seems. Too bad they can't fix their own Halloween event.

Any news about when we in Europe get those DLC's? It's quite sick that on the EU blog of PSN it was informed last week that the DLC #4 was released but it wasn't even true since it was release already 1 week before... (17 of Oct)

 

[SilverBalls]

Just bought Big Shot on Android, although won't buy Scared Stuff until XBox and PC version comes out.

At last an EM. One thing that would makes this and future EMs a touch better is if the table sounds were louder and more emphasised. Sounds when the ball bounces/tap on top of gates and posts add so much and make the experience closer to reality (checkout any Pinuck VP table). Also the slingshot sounds could be better, although maybe they are based on the real table.

Other than that an awesome table! More EMs please Farsight!

UPDATE DLC Tables Pack #5 is scheduled to be released on November 7th and DLC Tables Pack #6 on November 21st for PS3 (EU) and PS Vita (EU). FarSight is aiming to get DLC Tables Pack #7 and The Twilight Zone launched worldwide on PSN on the same day, but no time frame has been set as of yet.

OOOHHHHHH, worldwide launch. Is that an all platform worldwide launch?

And gang, Bobby is actively answering questions over at the Playstation Blog. Think once he's done, all the pertinent info could be compiled over here somewhere Pin Wiz? Cause already there's some good stuff!

My update was for PSN only...still gathering information on the other platforms and devices...stay tuned!

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

So PSN is NOT getting DLC#6 tomorrow? Im confused now PiN_WiZ?

 

[shutyertrap]

No, we're getting 6 but not 5. 5 might come tomorrow, but more likely next week.

 

[smooverr]

Can we expect any news on the 360?

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Great Q's on the PS3 forum SYT get'em while ya'can!

UPDATE Gottlieb's 1979 Genie added to the tables chart as "announced" plus The Twilight Zone to hit The Pinball Arcade beginning late November 2012.

A BETA of FarSight's open tournament featuring Black Hole, Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Tales of the Arabian Nights and Theatre of Magic will be available in November on Android and iOS.

Mac version 1.0.6 featuring Scared Stiff and Big Shot is AVAILABLE NOW!

Genie well alright ! I can see a lot of people bit**ing about this one being to slow personally it's one of my all time favorites from Gottlieb.

Genie well alright ! I can see a lot of people bit**ing about this one being to slow personally it's one of my all time favorites from Gottlieb.

Genie's not a bad table, but it wouldn't go on my top table list. That doesn't mean that I dislike it, I'll still enjoy playing it. Every table is a welcomed addition to TPA. There's one Gottlieb table that I'm looking forward to from the Gottlieb Collection, and that's Goin' Nuts. It hasn't been confirmed for TPA yet though.

I thought Goin' Nuts was a unique table because it started with 3 ball multiball active, and had a timer that would increase by hitting certain targets while at least 2 balls remained in play. But if only 1 ball remained, then the timer would begin counting down until you re-activate multiball. If you failed to reactivate multiball before the counter hits 0, then the flippers lock and the ball drains.

UPDATE DLC Tables Pack #6 featuring Elvira and the Party Monsters and No Good Gofers! is AVAILABLE NOW! on PS3/PS Vita (NA) for $4.99 USD (single purchase for both platforms).
