The Official Latest NEWS And INFORMATION Discussion Thread

Dang it's gonna be a long June for PS3. Thanks for the update though, PW!

Season Table Packs will be available for purchase in the next Android, iOS, Kindle Fire, Mac and OUYA updates. Season One Table Pack allows you to purchase the four core tables plus Table Add-On Packs #1 - #10 (for a total of 22 tables) at a discounted price. Season Two Table Pack allows you to purchase Table Add-On Packs #11 - #20 at a discounted price as well. More detailed information on Season Table Packs and possible availability on other platforms to follow.

I would be a great news. Something like: 3 packs purchased, 1 for free. It's nice to dream!

EDIT: Apparently, it will be the same offer on consoles, according to the new UI.

Just wondering, does anyone know if Twilight Zone and Star Trek are each considered table packs and included in this deal?

Season tickets for the pc version would be a nice way to make a few people happy

Especially since 90% of all pc version buyers will have already bought all tables on at least one (or up to 3-4) platforms before

I am not sure if season tickets will attract that many new players but it would be a lot easier for existing customers to buy everything again. (Another hint, hint to Farsight )

I'm interested to find out what the price of the iOS Season Two table pack will cost. The season pack will include table packs 11-20. I've already purchased table packs 11-13 but the price of the Season Two pack might be lower than the combined price of purchasing the individual packs for 14-20.

Twilight Zone is Table Pack 8 and Star Trek is Table Pack 9 so they should be included in the Season One Pack.

Strange that they just released the title update for PS3 which most likely has the resources for the next two DLC packs, yet they're waiting a month to release the DLC.

That kinda bugged me too... Just give um!

FarSight has yet to submit Space Shuttle, White Water, Centaur and Pin●Bot because they're still working on the last two. They prefer to submit two table packs together which is why they are waiting for Table Add-On Pack #14 to be ready before submitting to Sony.

Anyway the PS3 title updates don't have the new DLC table resources, otherwise table downloads would be 100 K or whatever like the first two North American table packs were. They just make the game ready to receive the packs.

That's what I meant....they have to add a lot of specific code for each table to the core game. It's more than just adding them to the UI. It's actual table-specific gameplay code too, according to Mike.

Has there been any information on when the next kickstarter licensed table will be? They said Q2 and that's got about a month left.

I haven't seen anything official from FS but Gord said it will be T2.

[shutyertrap]

I'll back Gord up and say it will be for sure T2, no ifs, ands, or buts.

PW, thanks for the update on the season packs pricing and structure.

I'm curious as to why the Season 2 packs are $10 more than the Season 1 packs? Especially when S1 contains the four core tables but S2 doesn't?

Not bothered, just wondering. Inflation?

EDIT: I would definitely go straight for S1Pro if it was available at Steam launch.

I think its because season 1 has tables that are over a year old and season 2 tables will be new. Games are usually discounted as they get older. Discounting DLC a year after release is pretty normal.

I wonder if that's a good idea. According to FaceBook users, they are all entitled to the lowest prices whenever they buy the tables. Apparently, they are all owed a discount for being such loyal customers and buying them from the beginning. How dare FarSight lower their prices. How dare they.

Personally, the moment I found out my new car was worth 20% less the moment I drove it off the lot, I turned right around and got that 20% back. Because y'know, that's how the world works.

 

[canuck]

Well, its a good deal for anyone who doesn't already own the tables for a particular platform. I'm happy to see that CC will be free next month, as I haven't purchased that one yet!

I know your tongue is planted firmly in your cheek, but I think those people on fb are a very vocal minority. 99.9% of us know that games and DLC are discounted as they age. Many well before the one year mark. How long have companies made $20 game of the year additions? Grand Theft Auto IV came out with the core game and all add ons for like $30. That's a $60 game plus several $20 add ons. Things are cheaper when they're not new. My first PS3 was $600. The last one I bought was around $200. Sony should send me $400!

It's planted so firmly it poked through to the other side. I think I may need a doctor.
