Marsjanie atakują :!:
January 18, 2012
Table Pack #8: Attack From Mars™ and Genie™ has just been released for iOS and Android. These are two fantastic tables! The Table of the Month is Medieval Madness™ Pro, which can be played for free this month.
Attack From Mars™ was designed by Brian Eddy, who also designed Medieval Madness™. An army of Martians is attacking Earth and it’s the player’s job to defend it. With its open playfield and easy to understand rules this table is a blast to play. Features include a moving flying saucer in the middle of the playfield, dancing Martians and a hypnotic strobe light.
Genie™ is considered by many to be the best wide-body table of its era and possibly of all-time, a true Gottlieb classic that is very addictive. This table was designed with well thought-out objectives and features five flippers. Two flippers in the upper left corner create a mini playfield.

AFM jest niezły ale brak fantastycznej gry świateł podczas strobe multiball jest na minus. Genie wygląda na bardzo niedopracowany. Dziwna fizyka oraz widoczne kreski pomiędzy kolejnymi pokładami tekstur, cieniutko. Dodatkowo ospały, jakby działał o dobre 30% wolniej od reszty. Dostrzegłem też inne bugi ale w sumie nie mam co o tym pisać bo i mało kogo to obchodzi, generalnie update ok, a i naprawili menu.

Wie ktoś, co dała ta nowa aktualizacja na PS3?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
On February 8th, we celebrated the Pinball Arcade’s ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of our launch!
We started with just four tables on a single platform. With the Dr. Dude and Firepower Table Pack release, we now have 24 tables available on 7 different platforms. On mobile alone the Pinball Arcade has been downloaded over 5 million times!
We have also received a number of awards this year, with G4TV recognizing our game as their Mobile Game of 2012, PCWorld placing us in their Top 100 Products of 2012, Diehard GameFAN awarding us both Best All-Ages Game AND Best Digital/Downloadable Game of 2012!!! What a year!
The Pinball Arcade is currently available for:
All iPhone, iPads, and iPod touches (every Apple device from the iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 on)
Almost 2000 Android phones and tablets
Sony PS3 and PSVita
Microsoft 360
Mac OS
Our 2013 plans include:
Catching the PSN and 360 table releases up to the mobile offerings
Releasing Pinball Arcade on Wii-U, OUYA, as a Windows 8 app for desktop and Surface tablets, and as a PC game with cabinet support
Being a launch title in the digital stores for any next generation consoles released later this year
Continuing to release new tables every month
Adding support for more peripherals (like 3D TVs and the iCade) and features (more tournaments and online play)
Some other really cool stuff we can't talk about!
FarSight would like to thanks all of our fans! We can’t wait to grow this game into the dream game that we’ve always wanted to make for pinball fans everywhere!
Table Pack #11: Dr. Dude and His Excellent Ray™ and Firepower™ has just been released for iOS, Amazon and Android. These are two more awesome tables! The Table of the Month is Medieval Madness™ Pro, which can be played for free this month.
Dr. Dude and His Excellent Ray™ is a great design from Dennis Nordman. The player's goal is to raise their Dudeness level from Plain Dude to Super Dude through spectacular gameplay action, innovative scoring features and attention grabbing effects. Notable features include the Excellent Ray, Big Shot bully, Molecular Mixmaster and a Gazillion point shot.
Firepower™ is another classic design from the "King of Flow”, Steve Ritchie. It was the first solid state table to feature Multi-Ball and included many industry first features that would go on to become pinball standards. These include the first animated displays, first electronic Multi-Ball and the first use of a player controlled roll-over lanes.

[/URL][/img] Interview with Tournament Winner
(and professional player) Roy Wils
We are very happy to congratulate Roy Wils (currently ranked 20th in the world by the IFPA) for winning last month’s Pinball Arcade tournament.
This man knows how to play pinball. Last weekend he came in first in the classics tournament at the Dutch Masters and finished third in the main tournament. Roy will be representing the Netherlands at the 2013 World Championships in Germany in a couple months. We wish him the best of luck!
In our tournament, Roy beat out almost 5,000 other Pinball Arcade players to take the top spot! This is particularly exciting for us. Not only can we confirm that the scores he posted are legitimate, but we think the fact professional pinball players are winning our tournaments also indicates our pinball simulation is pretty authentic!
Roy’s unique combination of being a top IFPA Pro and one of the best players of our game will allow him to give us average players new insights into how to score better in the Pinball Arcade. Starting this month, he will join Josh and Zach Sharpe, Cayle George, and Keith Elwin in writing the Pro Version tips.
We recently asked Roy a few questions about the Pinball Arcade:
What do you like about our game?
I like Pinball Arcade a lot as it gives me the opportunity to play REAL virtual pinball everywhere I go. It brings up all those nice memories I have along with it as I played all those tables during my childhood - which is great!
What's your favorite table that we've recreated?
Star Trek: The Next Generation - hands down; the action, the lights, the sounds, the flow, the animations. It’s a truly amazing table!
Are there any general tips for scoring better on the mobile version of Pinball Arcade you can pass along?
First of all, be focused and rested, be calm and sit or stand still while playing - preferably play the game with audio turned on! I wear headphones/earplugs while playing. By that, you can understand the game better during gameplay as most tables tell you tips of what to do!
Also, there is a sort of rhythm of the ball within the game. After you play the game for a while, you will recognize that rhythm - and that will dial you into the game. Find it for yourself and you will play better!
Can you give everyone a tip or two for one of the tables in the last tournament?
I would like to give a Tournament Tip for Star Trek: TNG.
The key to getting yourself a very high score on Star Trek: TNG is NOT to aim for the obvious (which is modes and its final frontier end battle). It’s nice to pick those up along the way, though.
For getting yourself those ultra-high scores, the best strategy is to start and play multiball all day long. If multiball is over, all you do is to try to enable those locks again by shooting the right orbit, and at lock number 3 start Multiball.
Those jackpots within multiball can be gigantic during the course of multiball action as the base jackpot value can and will grow to very high point levels.
For example, during my last big game during the Tournament, I had 3x jackpots worth an astounding 600 Million points! The jackpot scoop shot can be easy to shoot for once you are dialed into it!
Thanks, Roy! On behalf of the Pinball Arcade – we look forward to working with you to help us make our game as good as it can be!
Latest Playstation News
We are celebrating!!!
Twilight Zone was released on PlayStation3 and Vita on February 5 in both North America and Europe.
We have sent out the Kickstarter Redemption codes to the North American PSN accounts, and are waiting on Sony Europe to get us the European codes so we can send them out.
Table Pack 7 (including Scared Stiff and Big Shot) was released worldwide on PlayStation3 and Vita February 12th.
Medieval Madness Pro and Tales of the Arabian Nights Pro are scheduled for Febrary 19th.
We have now submited Star Trek:TNG as well as the January table pack to Sony. We anticipate this test cycle to be quicker now that the holiday rush is over.
Latest Nintendo News
The 3DS version will be called Pinball Hall of Fame. This version will contain all of the non-emulated tables from both the Gottlieb and Williams collection. More information will be made available as it gets closer to release.
The Wii-U version is almost ready for submission to Nintendo as well. This is the final step we need to take to get onto the eShop and into your hands on the Wii-U.
Latest XBox News
We promised our longsuffering Xbox 360 customers an update this week, so here it is.
As most of you know, the Xbox 360 is the only platform that requires us to have a publisher instead of dealing directly with Microsoft. Our publisher Fillpoint (aka Crave Entertainment) filed bankruptcy last year, and that has wreaked havoc on our plans for releasing new tables on the Xbox 360.
We’ve been asked many times “Why don’t you just find a new publisher?” It’s not that simple, unfortunately- our contract with Fillpoint is now an asset of a bankrupt company, so we need both the consent of the creditors and the approval of the court to move the game to another publisher. The good news is that we are VERY CLOSE to getting court approval on a transfer. We wish it was happening faster (and we’re more frustrated than you- we lose money every day the new tables aren’t available on 360). But it will happen!
PC Update
In a recent talk at DICE, Valve President Gabe Newell indicated that the Greenlight process might soon be discontinued, opening the way for more games to be available on Steam. We are very optimistic that the Pinball Arcade will be able to be released on Steam as a result!
We are still working on a PC beta build designed for our Kickstarter backers. We are also exploring options for delivery and security.
In addition, we are submitting our game to Microsoft for inclusion in the Windows 8 Marketplace. This version will be playable on all devices and desktops running Windows 8 (including Surface tablets and phones).

Jak to mówił pewien ruski: "kompletnie potrzaskane, Sasza!" Oba stoły tragedyja. Spójrzcie na bumpery w doctor dude, na wspaniale rozmazane tekstury (a raczej zdjęcie z apratu nałożone na obiekt 3D) , zwróćcie uwagę na praktyczny brak animacji (!!)... Firepower, fizykę robi dobrze, wszystko inne robi źle, ponownie brak anmiacji (albo są tak "dobre" że niezauważalne) oraz prawdziwa wisienka na torcie czyli bugi uniemożliwiające ukończenie obu stołów. DD - multiball i wbicie na mixmastera lokuje kamerę, FP - multiball i strata ostatniej kuli blokuje grę.

Table Pack #12: Cactus Canyon™ and Central Park™ has just been released for iOS, Amazon and Android. These two tables are fantastic and a perfect fit for the Pinball Arcade! The Table of the Month is Harley Davidson™, Third Edition which can be played for free this month.
In addition to the table pack, this update comes with the ability to update all of the tables via a single button and the ability to purchase custom designed ball skins, including the special Twilight Zone ball, the special Star Trek balls and the Eye ball tournament prize.
Cactus Canyon™ is a fun western themed table designed by Tom Kopera and Matt Coriale. Players try to clean up the town of Cactus Canyon before facing a showdown at the OK Corral! You're challenged with gun fights, stampedes and saving Miss Polly. The table features a gold mine with a closeable door, a moving train and a bad guy with a hat that pops off his head.
Central Park™ is considered one of the best-playing classical tables of all time. Central Park features a comical backglass animation of a monkey ringing a bell every 100 points scored. Pinball Hall of Famers consider superior table nudging and target shooting to be essential in mastering this classic table.

Witam.Mam problem.Wczoraj kupiłem dwa stoły na ps3,Star Trek i Twillight Zone.Zainstalowałem i niestety ich nie widać,usunełem grę i zainstalowałem jeszcze raz z myślą że cos pomoże,wczesniej też miałem problem chyba z jakimś stołem i po kolejnej instalacji było wszystko ok.Teraz niestety nic nie pomogło.Może to po nowej łatce?Nowe menu jest teraz ciekawe,lecz nie mogę wejść na New Table.Pomocy chłopy
Jestm zły,wydałem 40 zyli i nici ze stolików 
- kane11 - 25/03/2013
Zobacz czy czasem nie zainstalowałeś wersję na Vitę, musisz zainstalować wersję na ps3, bo inaczej nie pójdzie.
- piotrekoka - 25/03/2013
Tak instalowałem na ps3 i to kilka razy ale nic.Ogólnie grę kupiłem w pss usa,tak jak i wiekszość stołów.Dopiero te dwa po raz pierwszy zakupiłem w europejskim sklepiku,ale nie wydaje mi się żeby to było przyczyną,a raczej jest to niemożliwe,nie wiem próbuje i nic.
- piotrekoka - 25/03/2013
Odpalam grę na swoim koncie EU,w menu są opcje,do których mogę wejść,czyli My Tables,Tournament,Leaderboards i Options,New Tables jest jakby zablokowane i nie ma dostępu,Natomiast gdy odpalę grę na koncie usa New Tables jest odblokowane i normalnie mogę zakupić wszystkie nowe stoły,widocznie wystąpił u mnie jakiś błąd przy nowym update,a wykupywać teraz znów zdrapki na allegro żeby załadować konto i tam właśnie wykupić stoły,to tak troche nie zabardzo
- piotrekoka - 25/03/2013
Właśnie wyczytałem coś takiego na jakims forum,,ja nie raz kupowałem gry z US i A na swoją PS3ke i wszystko mi chodziło bez problemu na moim Europejskim (polskim) koncie... dopiero gdy chciałem dodatki do tej gry to musiałem kupować z USA PSN - bo eur dodatki nigdy nie działały z us wersją''
Czyli wychodzi na toże jestem w plecy 38zł.Dodatki z europejskiego konta nie są zgodne z usa

Table Pack #13: White Water™ and Space Shuttle™ has just been released today for iOS, Android, and Amazon. You're going to love these two Williams classics! This update also includes iCade support for your iPad.
The Table of the Month is Attack from Mars™. You can once again play one of the greatest tables ever made and it's FREE!
White Water™ (1993) is yet another awesome Williams table. It's a wild and fast-playing game challenging players with twists and turns down the rapids to Wet Willie's River Ranch. Beware of the flashing hazards shots! The playfield features a distracted Bigfoot and a Whirlpool that swirls the ball down.
Check out our White Water video on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCWYZbxeYtg
Space Shuttle (1984) features a fantastic space exploration theme. It was the first game to feature a playfield toy with a replica of NASA's Space Shuttle. With its great features and out-of-this-world gameplay excitement, this game is a once-in-a-millennium masterpiece!
We've recently discovered that some popular email domains (including hotmail.com, msn.com, live.com, att.net and aol.com) have been rejecting any emails sent from FarSight. We apologize for not realizing the severity of the problem- in the last few months there have apparently been a flood of people who never received the responses we sent to their customer support requests.
We are temporarily sending customer responses from a different domain until this issue is resolved. We are committed to exemplary customer service and we apologize if anyone got the impression we weren't listening! Thank you for being patient with us!
Bobby King was interviewed this week by Jeff Strong of pinballarcadefans.com and answered a lot of questions asked by our hard core players. You can check out the interview here:

Is that a PlayStation4 logo? You bet it is! Stay tuned for more details on what will be a new amazing version of our game during the upcoming months.
Latest 360 News
We are doing whatever possible to get the 360 version back on track! We continue to work with the bankruptcy court to get the legal issues with the 360 publisher sorted out, and we remain hopeful that we will be able to release all of the new tables on the 360 soon.
Due to the length of the delays, we are offering to switch kickstarter backer platforms to any platform we support. Please contact us at PinballArcadeStarTrekCodes@gmail.com if you'd like to switch platforms.
Thank you for your continuing support!
We've finally been greenlit on Steam!
We expect to have a new version of the Pinball Arcade available on Steam in a couple of months. Thanks for your patience and for your support in voting for us!
To celebrate, Kickstarter backers who selected the Windows version can expect to be getting a beta build of the Windows version in the next several weeks.

Next Month's Tables - Can you guess?
Nice job on guessing Table Pack 13! The opposite day game was fun.
For Table Pack 14, we've got two greats for you; a Bally and a Williams. Back in the 80s, this Williams table outsold the Bally table by over 4 to 1 according to www.ipdb.org. But... don't discount this Bally classic, there's a good reason why it was a fan favorite.
Share your guesses on Facebook- we'll announce the tables in a couple of weeks!
