Atariboy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) They need to better reflect that on their Kickstarter page. The details for each pledge tier still are showing the old information that states Xbox 360 users are excluded for the awards due to Microsoft. And not only that, they need it in big letters front and center so there's chance that anyone will miss this new development.

I think they're effective enough in informing people about the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Obviously if they're not allowed to edit such things, they're doing as well as they can informing people. Too bad since I'm sure this change is going to go unnoticed by a decent number of people. Edited May 31, 2012 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I suppose we'll see if they update it on their Facebook page. I haven't seen them say anything yet about it being free to 360 owners that donate $10 or more, unless I happened to miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmode-ky Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I've been playing Pinball Arcade on and off since I bought it for the PS3 a few weeks ago. At this point, the only Wizard goal I have left to get is activating Frog Frenzy in Ripley's Believe It or Not. However, that might be out of reach for me, because it involves making a ton of accurate shots during multiball (when balls are constantly getting in each others' ways as well as threatening to drain themselves when you're focusing on other balls), and I haven't come close. How many of you have actually gotten all the Wizard goals on all the tables in the console version of the game? And does anyone have any helpful tips for Frog Frenzy? onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Man, my only multiball goal is to keep all the balls in play. I focus on not letting 'em leave the table, and pray that the goals sort themselves out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I haven't been shooting for the Wizard goals. I figure that most of them will get hit anyway so long as I play well, so my only goal is to survive, get a high score, and rank higher on the leaderboards.

I just wish that moreof the tables were from the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure that most of them will get hit anyway so long as I play well, so my only goal is to survive, get a high score, and rank higher on the leaderboards. That's pretty much how I play. I just try not to lose my balls. Somehow I was listed at the top of every friends list for a while on the Xbox 360, but then brianvgplayer beat me on the Theatre of Magic. I'm glad keilbaca isn't an Xbox 360 friend or I'd never get to the top of the friends list. [i'm also Random Terrain on the Xbox 360 if anybody wants to add me as a friend and try to beat my horrible scores.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried playing the 360 version... and it feels off to me. Even with the delay of the flippers on the android version, I feel they did better physics there. One of these days I'll drop the money and top all of your scores Edited June 1, 2012 by keilbaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asides from the Mars table, I just couldn't get into it though. Maybe one of these days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If Pinball Arcade doesn't make us wait a million years for a bunch of 'new' tables, I'll probably never go back to Pinball FX2. I'd rather play stuff that really existed. But all of these pinball recreations still have a long way to go. I played real pinball about a month ago at Putt-Putt and these recreations don't even come close. Although they scan everything in, it all still looks too fake. How can you scan something in and still have it look cartoony and unreal? It should look like somebody set up a video camera on a tripod and recorded the real thing.

Austin Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 *shameless plug* That table actually looks pretty awesome. Maybe I will pick it up this weekend. If Pinball Arcade doesn't make us wait a million years for a bunch of 'new' tables, I'll probably never go back to Pinball FX2. I'd rather play stuff that really existed. Same here. The "real" tables just seem to be designed so much better than most of what I have played in the FX series. That obviously goes for the table designs themselves, but things like sound design and the feel of the shots--both things that make a huge difference for me--make the real games a lot more interesting and fun. But all of these pinball recreations still have a long way to go. I played real pinball about a month ago at Putt-Putt and these recreations don't even come close. Although they scan everything in, it all still looks too fake. Yeah, they are making strides (these Pinball Arcade renditions look noticeably better than the HOF versions), but they do have a long ways to go. I wonder what we will see on the next generation of hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 FarSight made ST:TNG an official stretch goal today and immediately got enough to put them over the top for the Twilight Zone table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlysublime Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) announcing that 360 owners will get the table as part of the contribution is making a difference. now you've added a significant amount of donors that hedged. now they may make the 110K level. but there's not much time left. it might have to go to another kickstarter. but a second table added after the fact complicates things. and I'm wondering if Kickstarter will cry foul. do they use circumvent the project's initial tiers and introduce a bunch of other tiers via updates? will a person that donates $10 get the same benefits as someone that donates $25? if I donate $10, i get twilight zone, but not star trek? if I donate $25, will I be guaranteed both tables as long as they reach their $110K goal? I know they say it. but it's still something to keep in mind and even if FarSight Studios is run by a bunch of good guys, a lot of things can go wrong. any time accounting and transactions occur, mistakes happen.

boog Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Even though they still haven't released the first two DLC packs for consoles, they've announced that pack # 3 will be Monster Bash and Gorgar. Bundling something new with a re-release to force double dips again. At $5 per DLC pack I've now decided to boycott their DLC completely. As much as I'd like Monster Bash, I'm going to wait for a cheaper mega-bundle or the eventual DLC sale before I buy anything. $5 for each new table just isn't worth it to me. How many of you have actually gotten all the Wizard goals on all the tables in the console version of the game? I finished the Wizard goals for the other three tables on PS3. Ripley's Frog Frenzy was frustrating so I gave up for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I just want halfway realistic physics on the android port. I want to be able to practice these tables when I'm away from home or the arcade, but nuclear-powered flippers make it difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they reach $110k you'll get both tables, even if you only pledge $10. I don't know why Kickstarter would cry foul. They get their percentage cut of the pledges no matter what the number is. Backers have to trust FarSight to be "good guys" but that's true of every single Kickstarter campaign. All of them can take your money and run. Personally I wouldn't give them more than $10 either way but that's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Well, you tap the ball with a flipper and it rockets all the way up the highest ramp at 400MPH. It's stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same way in the console versions as well, likewise with the old Williams HOF packages. I don't mind the power on the newer tables as much as I do the older tables.
