Stern Pinball Arcade Release Dates

[Trackball]

Man, I wish we had so much as a definite release date for the Steam version.
Now that I have a brand new computer, PC is my primary pinball platform...no alliteration intended.

I wonder what is holding up the Xbox and EU versions?

And here I was just wishing for that patch.

SYSTEM 3

They have always published the physical releases in Europe. This time of year is normally busy for disc's being pressed so who knows with only 3 weeks to go before xmas... Maybe we won't see it in PAL Land until 2017. Would be worth the wait if the light/brightness adjustment makes it to the first PAL release of the game.

As PS4 and X1 got their SPA releases, would be good to hear PC target date, as it is next platform i guess.
Had completed last wizard goals on TPA yesterday, so have no much things left to do apart of idling on forum, even already spent money from steam wallet allotted for SPA, for NSUNS4 instead.

Just looked at the cover art on Amazon for the XB1 version (maybe it's faked) but it has the same "EXCLUSIVE" sticker for Star Trek and both AC/DC special limited editions. If you look at the leaderboards for these, testers are already putting in some scores.

What's the deal with the LE tables? The box art for the physical discs showed both LEs of Star Trek and AC/DC to be exclusive to the disc based versions. I held off on digital, bought the disc, and no LEs in sight. The box art now replaced the le information to say Ghostbusters will be free dlc once released. Great, but where are my promised LEs?

What? I've been leaning towards disk and then digital over and over. The only table I really want to play is AC/DC but the Ghostbusters table might be fun. Amazon is still showing the LE exclusives on the disk version. I'm thinking of just getting the AC/DC table digital because in the Stern game it doesn't do a panorama of the table so the only thing you see different is the back glass. Also no shaker motor I believe. So the only difference is back glass and leaderboards? Seems like a waste especially with having to put a disk in every time you want to play. Pinball is really nice in a digital format since I can play for a few minutes or hours it just makes it easier for a quick game, not having to swap out a game I'm playing everyday, Titanfall 2.

Anyway with Ghostbusters being free with the disk, hmmmmmmmm. So many dupes from Pinball Arcade. Are all the games using flipper 3.0? It'd still be cheaper to get AC/DC and Ghostbusters by themselves...........................

BTW, I have the first three seasons of Pinball Arcade on PS3. The ball still looks the best on the PS3 version.

Also are you US or European? We really need some confirmation on the disk version!

No LEs is disappointing. Does the disc version include all of the older Stern tables from Pinball Arcade? Or is it just the new tables plus Ghostbusters as DLC on release?

 

[jonboy71]

I ordered mine from amazon US. I haven't really played it yet. Just popped it in to install and confirmed the le tables aren't there as advertised. Already issues from the get go with the bait and switch of what's included on disc version.

 

[jonboy71]

It included what's pictured on the box plus a placeholder for Ghostbusters.

Thanks for the heads up!

Nice! Too bad you can't demo tables as with TPA. Glad for the release though.

 

[mewzard]

Oh neat, congrats to the iOS crowd. Here's hoping Steam isn't too far behind.

Bet I know what Day Nine of "Pinball Arcade's 12 Days of Christmas"! is - Stern Pinball Arcade released for mobile. iOS available now and Android to soon follow.

Bought both table packs 1 and 2. Tables look beautiful, play great AND although there is no setting in the options it works with icade. THANK YOU FARSIGHT! Xmas came slightly early this year.

I was a little surprised to see that Mustang was a free table along with Frankenstein. I went ahead and bought table pack table 2 anyway since ghostbusters is going to be included with it when it's released.

OK still happy as a clam playing modern stern tables on my iPad.

Huge end of game breaking bug - if you get a local high score there are no controls to move the letters or select for your initials - your just stuck and have to quit out of the app. Repeatable on Star Trek, ac/D.C. And mustang

Seriously farsight I would love to be a beta tester

This was a nice surprise to wake up to.

Lots of early bugs. Looks too dark, impossible to enter highscores, some views are a little off. Bought it on Ipad but when I log inn on Iphone it asks me to buy again.
The ugly low res carpet is back, etc.

But right now I am only happy to be playing. The worst bugs will be sorted sooner or later. No slowdowns on Ipad Air 2 or Iphone 6S that I could notice so far, and that is big +

I am guessing they wanted it out before Christmas and rushed it a bit. Strange that it is impossible to enter high scores, though

Bought both packs right off the bat. Thanks for giving it to us before Christmas, Farsight.

From only one try on the new tables, they seem to play just fine, and that is the most important thing.
