Terminator 2 and other licenses

[Maruda]

Hello !

Will Terminator 2 be available ? Is anything officially known about it ? It is a legendary table ! and should be found here !

I suppose that I am not the only person who wants to play on this table ! Can any developer speak specifically on the subject or is it shrouded in secrecy ?

I would also like to know what about other famous tables can you count on them in the future ?

I would like to play in :

Terminator 2
Earthshaker
F14 Tomcat

Terminator 3 (Stern 2003)

Hook
Star Wars (Data East 1992)

Maybe someone knowledgeable can comment ? ...It would be great to play these tables;-)

Thanks !

I need more RPG table like Elderscroll Skyrim.

Yeh Skyrim was awesome, one of the few tables i actually had the highest score among friends

Bram Stokers Dracula. That would be the only licensed game I would pay extra for. I don't mind buying Bally/Willys game if they come in a bundle, but ask too much for the other licenses.

Hook is the worst game known to men and TPA carry Data East / SEGA / Stern licenses.

Never played it but after your comment and looking into the ipdb ratings (It’s great! - It sucks! - Best table ever! - Data eats worst) I’ll have to get a copy of that to find out which side I’m on :D

It's the sound that really kills it, it's too grating, it would make a good game to put a P-ROC board in and rewrite.

That would be a great table for Zen to add animations to.
Frankenstein too.

Yeah would be cool, green mist or whatnot, but I turn everything off everything like that anyway it gets in the way and unrealistic.

Sounds like you would like VPX (latest Visual Pinball), if you like almost exact arcade/bar recreations of tables.
I like VPX overall, as almost every table from 1940s to present have been recreated by authors. You can play VPX without a cabinet, but there is a little bit of setting up to do.

I have developed games on Visual Pinball for over 10 years, they're not perfect by any stretch. I would prefer a commercial sim with a leaderboard. The pro mode is playable here, again, not perfect either but very much playable.

I have played many on Visual Pinball that are recreations of arcade/bar machines and most are spot on , and i say that as having played many of them in arcades/bars over several decades, not perfect, but near enough as far as most go.

Check out the tables on VPforums and VPUniverse, when you say developed games on Visual Pinball for 10 years you mean your own creations ?

The bundle Skyrim was in and the Aliens bundles were the only 2 I was considering buying, and Zen upped the price 33% to $15 for tables not as fun.

They don't seem to want me supporting them?

I'm talking about physics, not any graphics or near perfect rom emulation, I could care less about graphics but more how they play in relation to a real game.

They are all different and you can spend a long time tweaking but out of the box physics for VP is good, it's no way near perfect when you compare to a real game and never will be.

There are people out there that think TPA and Future pinball is good, but they do not compare to real world physics.

Yes I've made all kinds and have used the simulator to run alongside P-ROC boards, have made a good framework called PinGod, it's a great tool for developing on a simulation where then I can run the code on a real board in a real machine.

I am building a machine now with a P3-ROC and will be using PinGod which was mainly developed with the VP simulator.

Everything is a matter of taste . To me it played great on this machine . This is the first time I encountered a bad opinion , but I understand that not everyone has to like everything ;-) .

You're overrating it, like Addams, it's a one shot game with awful sound, music.

Well i have played quite a few real life tables in my days and the physics in VPX are pretty good to the actual tables, and if they werent i would be one of the first to say so.

I used to own Williams Hurricane and Data Easts Star wars tables and i assure you the physics in the VPX creations are spot on.
It would be impossible to fully recreate physics 100% like a real table and ball as the variables are infinite.

Unsubbing here as i disagree with you and you with me , time to end here.
