Round 6: Post Your Questions for Bobby King

[9u1d0]

Awesome feature possible? Use mobile camera input to reflect the user's face and environment in the ball reflection. Very realistic although I would turn it off...

 

[9u1d0]

Could we please have Bluetooth controller support for Android devices?

And IOS please, needed for better nudging

 

[Butterkins]

Bobby, what specific steps do you plan to take to address the horrendously inconsistent, or non-existent, communication from Farsight on all levels - social media, e-mails, PMs here on this board, your web site, everything?

Jesus, dude.

You're being deliberately antagonistic.

 

[shutyertrap]

Having seen Sony's presentation for the PS4, and how they are really focusing in on the social aspect, does this alter any of the things you were planning on eventually putting into TPA, like tournaments and challenges, or does this make things easier?

 

[PiN WiZ]

Are you looking to add an option that allows the user to adjust, set and save the zoom and angle of each table to their preference? If so, when do you estimate this option may be implemented?

 

[Gorgar]

What is the current status of Gottlieb emulation? And if you are considering giving up on it, is it possible that you will release a scripted version of Tee'd Off?

 

[Animator_pin_fan]

Would Farsight consider letting the users do a series of polls to vote/request tables that aren't in the top 50? If so, could we vote on a group of non-licensed tables and maybe even a round of licensed ones with a Kickstarter to follow.

 

[Tabe]

Jesus, dude.

You're being deliberately antagonistic.

You're right - my phrasing was a little over-the-top. The core question - what steps is Farsight taking to address communication issues? - remains a valid one, however.

I've gone back and edited the question. You were right to call me out. Thanks man.

Tabe

 

[George Klepacz]

When are we going to see more offline modes added, like challenges, tournaments, etc, like seen in the PHOF titles. There are plenty of tables available now to make this worthwhile.

Thanks

Nice idea. This would eliminate the need for more camera angles.

 

[SNKAllen]

Will there be any updates to the graphical quality of tables for the PS Vita that have been released in the past couple of months to bring them up to par of the core TPA tables?

 

[Russell Bergman]

Is FarSight closer to updating the missing artwork in certain tables (for example, the missing artwork on the ramp and neon tube in Cirqus Voltaire)?

 

[warh0g]

Camera angles, would like one that is right above the table looking down on it!

 

[smooverr]

Will the ball physics and bugs in CV ever be fixed? (And really all of the older releases).

 

[squidlr]

Are you disappointed Farsight have been unable to improve previously released tables - correcting art issues and adding missing lighting effects?

 

[xAzatothx]

how many employees does FS have? What are the plans for next 12 months, is there budget to grow the team and in what areas? What will this mean for TPA?

 

[xAzatothx]

sorry but this has to be asked:

do you plan to prevent hacking on the leaderboards if so in what time frame?

 

[Richard B]

I've noticed that with recent tables, the difficulty gap between the TPA tables and their real world counterparts has lessened. Is this intentional? Can we expect more of it? Will we see older tables, especially easiness offenders such as BOP, TZ, and SS see some adjustments?

 

[Richard B]

You announced in a recent newsletter that you want The Pinball Arcade to be a launch title for any next gen consoles (PS4, "Xbox 720") that come out this fall. Will you be developing a new game engine for those systems or using the currrent one?

Since they haven't officially announced them yet, Mike said they aren't allowed to talk about the new consoles yet. This would be a good question once they officially announce it.

Sony announced the PS4 on 2/20/13.
