So Pinball Arcade by farsight studios seems to be very poor. I have all the tables for xbox 360. And the same gameplay can be reached with future pinball.

 

This is so misinformed

Then I'm guessing that you probably regret purchasing every table. I'd recommend trying out the demo first.

"PC/Steam: Since our Steam Greenlight several months ago, we’ve been hard at work creating a Steam version of the Pinball Arcade. We’re happy to announce that the first Beta build of the Steam platform was released to internal test this week! We will be conducting a closed public Beta of the Steam version in July- if you are one of our Kickstarter backers entitled to Beta access on the PC platform, watch your email for information on how to get access! We are targeting an August release for the Pinball Arcade on Steam with all of the current table packs available."

This will indeed be awesome when it happens.

Zen pinball is fun, but these are the tables I really want to play on a cabinet.

They say yes.

I have talked to them in person twice and was told both times that they play to do a cabinet friendly version in the future.

Will it actually happen? Who knows.

But at least they are wanting to do it.

If this happens I just hope they go all the way and add 3 screens and ledwiz support. Anyway, I'm backing this table, I love T2.

Although I will buy TA if and when it has cab support, I won't be backing this Kickstarter as I still haven't had TZ which I backed God knows how long ago. They promised a Beta build for all KS supporters that chose the PC option in Jan and that never happened. Now they are saying KS supporters at the 'appropriate' level will get a Beta soon, but they don't define what appropriate means. Great devs but suspect management in my opinion.

That sounds rubbish, is it even legal to do that?

It is naff and I wonder what the rules are too. To be honest if it was any other company I would have kicked up a fuss, but because it's pinball, they are a small outfit, and they have such a good product I just wait. I know they eventually will deliver, but it's a real shame their communication with KS supporters is so poor. I am sure I am not the only one boycotting the latest KS just because of the way they handled previous ones, which again is a shame.

T2 is fine, but I would much MUCH rather see a KS for TAF first, or IJ.  Those 2 tables should have a ton more priority & are deeper games.  A lot of people think T2 is a solid game, but I don't know if it knocks the socks off people like TAF or IJ would, & for that reason along with the number of scorned prior KS donators, 360 & PC users, I'm curious as to how well this KS effort will go.

I don't see how it couldn't have portrait mode.  You can switch between normal and portrait mode in real time while you are playing the game on iOS and Android and the Mac version suppoerts potrait mode as well.

The win 7 and win xp which I believe are supported via this steam release do not handle natively the auto switching as the mobile versions do, so hope it has it but I am going to go with no assumptions on this.

Not sure if it's true, but someone said TAF can't happen because of Raul Julia's legacy not allowing the use of his image for anything.

Great news for Xbox users (although you probably already know this): Crave Entertainment will be reorganizing, and the unreleased DLC will be launched later this summer. What's also nice is that MS just pulled their ridiculous patch fees.

Table Pack 16: Flight 2000 and Tee'd Off. What's weird was that the hint involved a squirrel flying through space, not a gopher.

Flight 2000 was previously hinted at... would like to see some PC version news... like an ETA.
