Taxi and Harley Davidson release date?

[multivit]

so I assume one cannot tell from the beta release if the gamecenter has been fixed?

 

[Kevlar]

Gamecenter has always worked fine for me.

ok to be more precisely: the gamecenter achievements - most of my completed standard goals are not recognized and I recently finished the wizard goals for funhouse and it did not register.

some people reported the same for hoighscores since the last update as well

 

[Kevlar]

Oh right, I haven't taken any notice of achievements.

FarSight is not delaying console submissions , the Submissions get delayed by the companies , at MicroSoft there is a lengthy review process with a arbitrary pass/fail system , for flaws and just filling out the forms wrong.
For Sony CEU they have been told they have too many submissions backlogged from other companies , and will not receive any newer submissions until they catch up .
Only the apple App store takes submissions without a great deal of red tape and usually passes them on within the first week .

I probably came off incorrectly, I know Microsoft has a lengthy review process, I should have said, pushing back when they submit it to them in the first place. Just a personal disappointment as I look forward to the tables they release. Truly, I'd rather them take their time to squash as many bugs as possible

There are about 6 of us on this forum beta testing I think.

There are a lot more of us though, just check the hall of fame leaderboard in sandbox environment

Yes, DLC 4 and 5 being slightly delayed to fix bugs in the other 10 tables is a good thing

There's also a substantial cost with each submission. I imagine that is one reason why FS is waiting until DLC 5 is ready before submitting the Title Update for 4. If 4 and 5 are updated together under 1 update, that's $40,000 that FS can devote to other resources.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

That's not true. You mean it costs developers 40,000 to make a fart app? Can't be true. I bet it is free.

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

He's referring to the submission fee for the 360.

 

[HOW]

Who is beta testing new releases? Is this only being done in house now? I was a tester back in January for the original release, but haven't heard from them since.

.....Hmmmm*

 

[Timtubemaster]

Will be cool when HD and Taxi come out for TPA. I loved Taxi on Phof!!!!

 

[Kevlar]

Personally, I don't chase after achievements at all, beta test or not. We're not paid to test so I'm not going to spend hours playing for achievements, I just concentrate on what I come across in normal play. Add to that the fact that the betas are played on a different ' sandbox ' gamecenter account which I constantly have to sign in and out of when switching between my normal retail version and the beta is a pain in the butt so I usually don't even sign into gamecenter when playing the beta.

True-Guess the unpaid fan betatesters need to concentrate on gameplay rather than UI and extras.
Who's testing GameCenter though? It's been a bit of a disappointment after the wait

I'm only speaking for myself mind not the other testers, they may well be testing gamecenter achievements.

 

[Gord Lacey]

I don't think we can earn GameCenter achievements, as we're playing the free version of the tables. Also, the GameCenter isn't tied to our regular accounts, it's in a sandbox environment.

Nope, purely focussing on gameplay myself.

 

[BlindSpider11]

I with DLCs came out in the beggining of the month like they use too. both #4 and #5 have came out at the end of their respectiv months.

A couple hours ago Farsight posted on Facebook that the ios update has been submitted and may be released next Friday. This was not a direct post but a response to someone asking where the update was.

I hope that is true, fingers crossed. I hope they fixed the position of the magna save buttons on Black Knight too.

Yes, they will be fixed on BK.

This release has fixes for all the previous tables.
