the pinball arcade: trying to bring epic table "twilight zone" to digital life

If they at least were giving up some percentage on the table for people who give money.

the only other alternative is the table never sees the light of day (in official digital form).

I don't think it's the *only* one. I would've liked to see them build a following with the tables they don't have to spend big bucks on licensing, generate a following and then take a chance with a table they'd need to gamble on. Instead, they have the fans giving them the money. Which is fine I guess....go ahead and donate $10+, I'll thank you for it when it goes on sale for $2.99.

or you could take a stand and not buy the table.

food for thought.





as for the non-licensed tables, they are still working on those and still have more to come...hell, there are 4 tables ready to go and simply waiting on microsoft/sony approval for release. this whole TZ thing happened as a direct result of the fans ASKING for it....repeatedly.

just got word from one of the farsight dudes on the kickstarter page that camera angles are being addressed in the new update (already up for approval to microsoft/sony).

i couldn't stand the fact that the tables forced you into the multiball camera angle....apparently, that is coming to an end.

say what you want about them......they're definitely listening to their fans. good stuff!

for anybody holding off on pledging due to the initial lack of a free 360 version of the table.......



they just announced that they have worked out a deal with microsoft in which the table will be available as a reward DLC.

good stuff.

and they're just a shade under $10K left to go with 17 days left......looks like this is gonna happen. awesome.
