It's time to vote on which questions will be selected for the next round of the Forum Interview with Bobby King from Farsight! Please select 5 Questions from the poll. Bobby will answer the top 5 questions when he gets time.

I picked 30 random questions (with a few carryover questions from the last poll), and some questions were either combined or condensed to save space in the poll (the forum only allows so many characters per question, so the questions will most likely be expanded when they are presented to Bobby).

If your question didn't get picked this time around, or it doesn't get voted in, don't worry because this will be a reoccurring event, so you can always resubmit your question for the next round. Some people submitted multiple questions, but there is only space for 30 questions so I couldn't include every single question, but I tried to get at least one question from everyone who submitted.

Thanks again for submitting your questions, and to HOW (Andy) for the idea, and another big thank you to Bobby for graciously agreeing to take part.

Note: Please do not complain about the questions. I only add questions that the community provides. It's up to you (the voters) to decide which questions are the best, and there's no need to complain if others vote for something you don't like.

Cheers as always Jeff :)

PS. Non Vita here-But chuck a vote their way, as the Vita implementation IS a little concerning for all :(

Thank-you very much for the vote concerning the numerous problems on the Vita.

Same here. If the question is not answered this round, I wonder if there is another way to get information from Farsight. There are occasional replies on their facebook page, but they don't go into too much detail. I'd really like specifics as to why the Vita is leading the versions in bugs, and why it doesn't seem to get a lot of attention with regards to fixes.

I still have not purchased The Pinball Arcade for PS Vita, pretty much due to the many bugs still present. I know these guys are passionate and are trying, but an update might go along way to persuading prospective buyers on Vita like me.:eek:

Voted. Thanks.
I got accused of being negative in the questions thread. It wasn't 100% negative, but I believe my question was fair, and as an xbox owner, things aren't exactly rosy are they?

Daniel, you raised a valid point. I figured your question was included with the 360 DLC question. If that question makes the cut, I can elaborate on it more before I submit the question to Bobby, so stay tuned :)

I see not many chose the XBox release frames. Good - there are NDAs that will prevent them from giving us a straight answer.

I wonder if the question about the credits is ever going to make it in a poll. Apparently I'm really only one of a few who are a bit baffled why this whole credit thing is in the game in the first place. lol The "match for a free game" sequence is only 10 seconds long... but they always feel like an eternity.

What about merging the "advanced flipper physics" and "new physics on old tables" question? Would allow another question to sneak in.
