News on updates to other tables regarding new flipper physics was asked about in android Roadshow Beta, and they said they don't have any specific info on dates, but that they're working on it. They've also said that it actually is quite a lot of work so we probably will have to have some patience about this.
However, and I hope I'm not saying too much here, they did say that they've finished the new flipper physics update on Big Shot, so we'll hopefully see an updated version of that table soon. We've yet to see if they're going to update tables as they finish them or in batches or however they plan on implementing it.

Thanks, that's quite informative!

Many, many hundreds of dollars were spent when I was about 15 earning these. Singles only shown: plenty were reinvested...

See that silver? Only one in every token tube. Boy did I have to work for that one... 😅

If this is next:

FarSight better get the token collecting tech sorted correctly: it's the cornerstone of this game.

There better be Vault Assault mode, and a way to select and use duplicate tokens to activate it. When you want to.

The backbox will have to be implemented as one massive Alpha Pane just as Scared Stiff was, and the camera angles should allow visibility of the DMD with HUD off.

This will be a challenging table to recreate.

Jared you've wanted Safe Cracker since the beginning. Glad to see you finally getting it. I agree about the coins. Hope they find a way to do it justice.

They rolled down the center of the glass I was not expecting that to happen.
I think I played that table a dozen times this year.
Loved it tremendously!

It is a very cool pin. Didn't think I would like it the first time I saw it. It's a funny looking little pin. But the more you play it the more you like it. I hope the small playfield size translates well to a digital version.

How are the coins gonna work in PA? Will there be a separate leaderboard for that mode?

Be curious about this myself. If it were scaled larger, the ball would be too and that might look odd. If it stays scaled to other tables, that's a lot of empty real estate on the screen, unless the game board is permanently seen and fills the space. I'm nervous about the execution of this table should it come to pass, because it's a bucket list table that I needed to see come to TPA.

This would probably be the ideal way to go. Although I can see Landscape being an issue.

Vault attack mode is the only way you're going to get a good leaderboard score if SC is set to timed mode. I'm not sure whether there will be a separate mode required.

IRL, the large scores on the local high score table are all Vault Attack mode scores.

The one I played when it was new was *really* hard. Even the one in Visual Pinball is pretty tough to get tokens on. This is one of those games that needs to be configured harder past factory settings. Particularly with the way FarSight tunes tables.

Getting a token on Safecracker should be a hard-earned victory.

It just needs to be zoomed appropriately. I'll be looking very closely at *all* aspects of this table. My fine toothed comb will have its own fine toothed comb. 😉
