[QUOTE="Franky, post: 13320"] there are many good points so far and yes, maybe the next generations are backward compatible but the main problem still exists - is farside really able to survive with tpa? in my opinion - NO - i don't think farside will make it very long, not with this product. As i said before, pfx2 is way more popular and way more appealing to the casual player and it's around for a long long time now. the pfx series startet when consoles where on it's peak and no other pinball game was around. Now at the end of the lifespan tpa shows up with "just" original tables (which are very boring to a non pinball addict), bad support and at the same time asking for money. it took almost 5 years till pfx finally had its breakthrough. 5 years is a long time, to be honest, i don't think tpa will continue releasing tables for the next 5 years. many of you guys write - "the games is amazing", "they are genius to digitalize real tables" and on and on - but don't forget, we're all pinball addicts, we've played the real tables back then, we have a connection between tpa and the real machines ... but for the majority it's just a more boring game than pfx - so why should they buy another and less attractive pinball game? a fair question. and it's the majority, the non pinball playing people who really counts - it's not us, we don't count - farside could never survive with just a few pinball nerds buying their game. they HAVE to get the "i'm-not-interested-in-pinball-people" into the boat otherwise there is no chance that this pays off.
