of course they care about pc and cosoles, these are the machines tpa is made for - big screen, cabinet support, the list goes on and on. i play it on my smartphone and i've played it on a tablet but this is nothing compared to a 50" Screen or in the future to a cabinet and it's mentioned a 1000000000000000000000 times already - microsoft is the one to blame. (in case of xbox)

I think FS did the right thing announcing these latest rejections/delays in the comments of another thread on Facebook, no one seems to have noticed there so all is calm at the moment. It really has been a comedy of errors so far, almost everything they have released so far has been rejected at least once or had a game killing bug that should have been picked up.

True true :)

UPDATE DLC Tables Pack #1 featuring Medieval Madness and The Machine : Bride of Pin•Bot is AVAILABLE NOW! on the PS Vita (NA). I promise... :)

This is great, thanks for the good news. I have bought these on ios already, but there's something nice about the hard controller. I think I know the answer, but can you restate it? When you buy the extra tables on Vita, do they show up on your PS3 download list as purchased when they become available for that platform? In other words, we can buy once, play on both Sony machines, right?

their biggest mistake was promising new tables around the clock for everyone on everything - all that such announcements are good for is to frustrate people and bringing unnecessary stress into play - for both sides. Now there is no delivery and furthermore they need to asking people for money - a very, very, very bad combination.

The latest news would seem to be evidence against the "PS3 DLC held up under orders from Microsoft" theory. It is, however, pretty much what I expected when news of the last rejection came out.

It's buried in a post by "Jordi Oliveras Bosch" halfway down the FB page, but FarSight has announced that Sony Europe has approved the PS3 version. The Vita version is apparently hung up on minor technical issues, FS is arguing those currently.


I hope the minor technical issues isn't the new blurry look that last update brought to the core tables. Arguing this would be silly. (I'm basing this on the photos I've seen of the updated tables, I don't own a Vita.)

That's doubtful. Sony Europe has had TPA for the Vita so long for approval that I'm pretty sure they just have the original version with the first 4 tables. The problem with the blurry tables came up with the first DLC for the Vita in the U.S.

Saying the graphics are blurry is a lie. They are a low resolution mess. Before everything looked great but after the update the tables look like trash. A big problem is that the lights are hires objects being plastered over low res smuged looking images which looks real out of place.

I don't think so. It seems the Vita and PS3 use the same download file (my PS3 download shows I've already downloaded the file for Vita, but I don't even have a Vita). So if the code is the same, I don't see why the PS3 version wouldn't have released at the same time as the Vita. We still don't know exactly when the DLC will hit, so it's possible the 360 and PS3 are getting the packs released the same week.

I think it shows that you've purchased it for the Vita, not that you've downloaded it. You purchased it for the Vita by purchasing it for the PS3 because FS said that you'd get both for one. I seriously doubt that it is the same code since the PS3 and Vita do not have the same specs. Also their approval processes are separate which, I believe, is why their release dates are differrent.

Perhaps the extra shininess for Android Tegra devices [1] should be mentioned in the head post as a confirmed upcoming feature.?

I'm going nuts, i can't wait to see their list of games their bringing out next year. It should be a real good one, I would say the only liscence tables they should do next year if they can, would be The Addams Family (it will make lots of money), Indiana Jones: and the pinball adventure, and if they get the S.A.M. chip figured out i would say Family Guy (that game cracks me up, andit also got me into the show. I never saw the show until i played the pinball machine) well that's about all i want to say, so say whatever you want but those are just my choices, everybody's is different. Talk later.

I'm pretty sure that FarSight will shoot for The Lord of the Rings next year since it runs on a modified Whitestar MPU just like Ripley's. We'll have to help with licensing costs of course which I have no problem with.

lord of the rings? oh man, and i thought it ain't get worse after star trek - people demanding other tables so it would be the best to listen. they should learn from the star trek desaster. not the ranking in a list is important - what the people want is the only thing that matters.

Star Trek disaster? people donated 20k towards STTNG while knowing they probalby werent getting rewards. The new STTNG kickstarter will be reached quite fast probably.
