Why only 10 tables per year now?

[PiN WiZ]

Damn, I was looking for proof but can't find the photos.

I could swear, my first trip up to FarSight 2 years back, that they had a Sorcerer on sight. Unfortunately it looks like my pics from that visit have been deleted or I simply can't find them. Wish I could confirm that feeling.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see "Sorcerer" in any of those pictures. It was, however, nice to re-read all that stuff.

Thanks!

Not I, seeing that PS3/Vita people have double the waiting time as everyone else.

I'm PS3 as well. Patience is a virtue

Can anyone make out what the blurred out ones are? The one on the far left looks like Earthshaker, the far right looks like Sorcerer, but can't tell what the red on in the middle is.
*nevermind, I didn't realize how old that photo was. Those are all probably out.*

I can confirm that they do NOT have "Sorcerer" on site.


From the FB page:

- Do you guys own an actual "Sorcerer" table out there, or was that just scripted back when you did the "Pinball Hall of Fame" game?

- We don't have one here.

That should be in the FAQ section. Lots of great info!

I don`t know what all the fuss is about,we`ve had 3 great seasons and I`d say season4 will great.we`re still getting 1 table every month,and the tables are adding up.where else would you find 51 tables and counting ? I still reckon there going to do a 4 pack of EMs somewhere down the track !!!

While I'm not sure how well it would sell, I do like the idea of a separate pack of EM tables. Maybe 4 or 5 EM tables for $10. I know I'm in the minority here but I do like the TPA version of Central Park.

Also, I wonder if they could do something like a 12 table season? That would only be one extra table every 5 months. I think the first one should be Sorcerer. Actually, I'd probably be fine with Sorcerer being one of the tables in a plain old 10 table season.

What about the leftover tables from Farsights previous games? I read them saying it takes less work to do a previously released table, how 'bout a Sorcerer and Lost World pack and Ace High and Jive Time together? I would like to persuade them to do this, like I read one of you guys say PBA is like my Pokemon (cant remember who)

yea...I will love it if FS does this. In fact, I am sure that they will get a lot more $ if they decide to add this sorta thing as incentives to TAF marathon.

I dont get the idea TPA on PS3. On a table it is in your hands in front of you similar to playing pinball... like a simulator. On a console you have a controller and the table is across the room on a t.v. at a 90 degree angle. Without the simulation it sort of defeats the purpose, like people that don't bother standing up when playing wii golf or bowling.

I would be in for a EM pack. But there's no way they would release 4 tables for $10 given that each individual table is $5 a pop. Plus the EMs take more time to re-create as they need to be scripted. But if they did a 4-pack in the $30-$35 range I would still buy it.

That is good to hear - I would also pay a hefty mark-up for an EM pack. As for the rules being script although true I am sure it wouldn't take a good programmer long to code - The VP authors do it quite efficiently. Plus EMs don't have all the complex models/toys/etc. so they would save time there.

Some say EM's might not sell as many. I'm not sure that's necessarily true, but I think those who want them might be willing to pay more. Give me Slick Chick, Kings and Queens, Atlantis, and Fireball and I'd pay $100.

 

[Snorzel]

Lost World was not made by Farsight and would have to be made from scratch. But as for all of the other tables you mentioned, +99,632

You are right my mistake that game was by encore or something. They could still do Playboy or Strikes n' Spares even tho
People call SnS a spot bowler or redemption machine. Any others that have already been done? Sorcerer was at an expo I went to so I would think they could get there hands on one.

I'm all for more quality tables, if it means we get only one per month. I just figured there would still be some older tables that could still be added at some point, and if they don't need the quality of the tables going back to the 90's, would we get them in 2-packs again?

I like some of the old-fashioned tables that were around before certain standards were put in place, but if thats the only table we get in a month, then it won't really be worth the going rate.
