I can't keep up with the regularity of tables. I don't play half of them. I'd rather have quality over quantity. ST should be out Friday I believe.

Become a PS3 user then!

Release Date?
Nearly 5 weeks since the last table

I'd guess this Friday.

Friday unless there are some serious unforeseen last minute difficulties.

or better still a 360 user!

Incorrect. The Xbox 360 version is, in fact, available right now with all DLC........

...that is, if you believe the banner FarSight uses on their Facebook page.

There's 10 releases per year and 12 months in the year, so you can't expect a release EVERY month.

That's not correct - each season is 10 tables, nominally 1 per month. That said, if they slip a week, they don't make it up. That's happened twice recently, so whilst we got used to table releases on the first or second Friday of the month, that slipped to the second or third, and has now slipped to the third or fourth Friday. This month, it's no surprise, with the last two weeks of December essentially being two 3-day weeks in most offices in North America.

Next slippage, and we may go an entire calendar month without a table! Except the next table would be the first Friday, and subsequent tables would be fifth Friday/first Friday, and so on.

Yea, maybe funding is running low.

I wouldn't worry about that. It's just how long it takes them to get them made and released.

Streaming today.

Streaming today.

According to FB, this will be at 3:00pm PST.

Judging from the only screenshot, no one should have to worry about the flippers being de-faced with "solid state!".

Crisis averted.

Looks sweet!

OK, so how those right flippers work on android?

Same as with anything else with a second button, like the magna-save on BK/BK2K. There's a movable button on the right-side of the screen. You probably want to put it in the flipper zone and not the nudge zone....

It's 10 releases per "Season." "Season" does not equal a "year." So it's still 12 per year. The seasons just end up starting 2 months before the previous season started.

10 per year would probably be a better model. About 5 weeks per table seems more doable.

You know it eh.

On their current pace, they're looking at getting 11 tables out this year.

I'd be fine with 10 per year because then "seasons" would line up with calendar years, and they'd have more time to get the tables right, or to work on engine stuff.

That would be nice.
