Round 4: Post Your Questions for Bobby King

[Jeff Strong]

Bobby King from Farsight has graciously agreed to do a multi-round forum interview*, where we get to nominate and then vote on 5 questions for each session!

So now it's time to start posting your questions for Round 4.

ONLY RULE: Please limit yourself to posting 1 question per round, as this will make it more fair to everyone, and easier for me to select the questions.

This thread will be open for about a week (or UNTILL we get too many questions, whichever comes first), and then I'll pick 30 questions and create a new thread with a poll for voting on which 5 questions Bobby will answer. If your question doesn't get picked this time around, don't worry because this will be a reoccurring event, so you can always resubmit your question for the next round.

* dates will vary, depending on how busy Bobby is.

Question about a possible tournament mode for each table. (hard mode with papa rules for example)

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

Well, seeing as this question just missed the cut last time, I have to ask again:

Will we be able in the future to adjust physical options on the tables, such as the outlane post positions, playfield pitch, tilt bob sensitivity, etc.?

 

[Kevlar]

My question, Cirqus Voltaire is undeniably the buggiest of all the tables so far. When will finally be able to play a complete game on this table without either calling the attendant, getting 2 or 3 balls in the plunger or having the camera point at the wrong part of the table?

If you are having license problems with a movie/tv company and the only hang up is with something on the back glass, would you consider changing it if that is the only way to make the table available and the table license holder do not mind the change? (not talking about changes to the play field here, only the back glass)

Hello Mr. King.
How is the progress coming along with the day/night table lighting slider that was mentioned a while back?

 

[Crush3d_Turtle]

Would it ever be possible to shift the release cycle off by a period of time in order to address the massive list of bugs that are seen across all systems?

 

[Squid]

You know what I want.

Pinball & Music (off of the PS3 XMB menu. I have close to 10,000 songs on this bugger)

Will this ever happen? Is the possibility of it even there?

Oops! That's two questions.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Will you sale TPA merchandise

 

[Dan]

No matter how I try to express a question, any question, it always turns into sarcastic remarks.
I think I'll pass this time, good luck guys.

 

[jrolson]

I would like to know if they are changing the menu layout soon...

 

[Tabe]

Why have we not seen any in-progress videos or demos of Twilight Zone - and when will we?

Hi Booby

Is head-to-head / turn based multiplayer games over net a possibility?

I think some 2,3,4-player action, watching others play whilst waiting your turn Old-School style would be cooooool

Hi Booby

Paging Dr. Freud...

 

[Lord Boron]

Will the physics of the older tables (ie TOM) be brought up to the level of the newer tables.

 

[russh1]

My question, You mention on the kickstarter pages that the licenses on the original tables have long expired. How long do you have to sell the tables ?

 

[squidlr]

For the future, I'd like to see a round of questions where questions can be nominated and voted for each platform the TPA is released, e.g. PC, Kindle, Mac etc rather than a set of questions about the game in general.

 

[BonzoGonzo]

Hi Booby

Paging Dr. Freud...

hahaha, good one

wouldn't have seen it at all, if it weren't for serenseven

 

[Daniel Osborne]

Hi there!
I would love know if a manual camera option could be done. that way you could then lock and then use to play the game. I like the detail view one gives on some tables, but view two on some, I'm looking at you medieval madness!, is too far away.
If you can incorporate the mention of a portrait view for consoles too into my question, I'd really appreciate it!
Cheers.

Will there be any original 'fantasy' tables developed? I think it would be really cool if FarSight took their knowledge and skill and created an original game - maybe something that could be 'won' as a prize?
