FarSight Studios, developer of The Pinball Arcade, made some very controversial comments recently by voicing their extreme displeasure with the Wii U's hardware.
The Pinball Arcade originally appeared on the Switch eShop last month. The thing is, it was only up for an incredibly short period. FarSight Studios had it removed due to a licensing issue. A month later, The Pinball Arcade is back up on the eShop – presumably for good.
FarSight Studios have announced that over 50 of their current tables will be pulled from the Pinball Arcade on June 30th due to a licensing deal ending.
Ok. So they might as well just take the game out of the retail and digital stores, because they are esentially killing it’s appeal by not renewing the licenses. Wow. Well, hopefully Williams and Midway do their own digital games. Id even pay $5000 plus for a full sized digital pinball machine that includes all of the classic tables. Just as long as it’s 4K. Which I think is FarSights biggest issue..
Not keeping up to date with new tables and the newer consoles and taking advantage of 4K, to help sharpen up the visuals. Which, really, would’ve just taken a resolution boost and 16xAF, maybe add some ambient occlusion to make the table some feel more three dimensional.
You should only worry about this if you've never played pinball fx. 😋
The Nintendo Switch will soon be home to a variety of pinball titles and the latest joining them is The Pinball Arcade. The Pinball Arcade news channel just arrived in Europe but the game has yet to get an official release date.
It's terrible when a studio that releases buggy software complains about hardware
Oh please. People are still saying this kind of crap for attention?
Lol
You should ask him why Bayonetta was so blurry and ran at an unstable 30 fps with a sub 720p resolution on the ps3.. And why the Wii U version of the game had no problems outputting it at 1080p (most likely rendered at 720p not confirmed yet) @ 60 fps with a lot more eye candy?
Lets also take into account Need for Speed Most Wanted which by all accounts ran and looked better on the Wii U ... And Rayman Legends... The Wii U did all this with less support than the ps3 and x360.
The Wii U is doing a lot more with less technically superior hardware and support from developers... If the Wii U had just as much support as the other consoles it would have no problem exceeding the performance of the prior consoles... Look at Mario Kart and 3D World as an example of that..
with all respect to those guys
i am not even a nintendo fan or been a fan ever .
but the console can run games like mario kart 8 and super smash bros 4 with ace .
and still can provide more experiences .
its more about the games if i wanted pure power i could have played my games on the PC but because i dont enjoy pc games or pc gaming in general i go for consoles like playstation which is my favorite .
its a cheap attempt to generate attention .
