[Unofficial] Community poll for next TPA Kickstarter

[Sean DonCarlos]

The poll title I understand, but the title of this thread is misleading as it clearly states, "Community poll for next TPA Kickstarter".

I agree it's confusing. I didn't know what to change it to, so I just stuck "[Unofficial]" in front of it, so at least people know it's not one of FarSight's official pick-a-table threads.

Bobby King said that the cost of BBB (and other Capcoms) isn't as much of an issue as the emulation. They simply can't get it working without dropping the framerate.

the emulation for bbb is already working fine with pinmame so they could probably get it to work.

does anybody know what farsight is using to emulate the tables? are they using some version of pinmame?

it's their own emulation as far as I know.

Steve Ellenoff, who was one of the programmers for pinmame, works for Farsight now. I think I remember hearing that they couldn't use pinmame directly because of rights issues though, so yeah I think it is their own custom emulation.

1. Konami was the developer of The Simpsons Arcade game.

2. FarSight is not Konami.

That's irrelevant.
Fox doesn't care weather it's Konami, Farsight, or Zippy's Game Emporium as long as the money is there.

Konami sold very few units of Simpsons Arcade on PSN/XBL. I doubt they invested very much into rereleasing it.

I didn't get to vote, but if I did I'd have gone Dracula.

However I do not think Dracula requires a kickstarter. It's a cheap license like Elvira, Ripley's, or the Universal Monsters.

So with that being said I'd vote T2 or Indiana Jones.

 

[Rudy]

I don't think Universal Monsters was a 'cheap' license in general, it was released around the same time as the Universal Movie Monsters collection on DVD and Blu-Ray so was probably seen as an easy form of cross-promotion. Whether the same would apply to a table a year afterwards is anyone's guess.

 

[Mark W**a]

Plus it was a two for one deal. Got Creature and Monster Bash. Same with Elvira. I'm just saying I can't imagine a license from an irrelevant 90's movie with no real big actor likenesses or voices can be that expensive. But you never know.

Honestly though you could probably say the same about Twilight Zone. I don't want to come off ignorant, I honestly can't say for sure.

 

[Clawhammer]

I hope BSD is an easy/cheap license. A man can dream.

There was no cross-promotion done between the Blu-ray and the table. They were two separate things.

Nightmare on elm street and south park. But I can't wait for T2

 

[Shinobi100]

I didn't get to vote in the poll. Since we know T2 is next on the kickstarter, I would've voted for Jurassic Park. That'd be a nice table to have handy to get hyped when JP 4 is released next year

Personally I hope Indiana Jones Williams and Doctor Who are two options for future Kickstarter Tables. Especially the latter I'd love to play Doctor Who on Pinball Arcade.
