So while I am waiting for my monster bash le to arrive, I decided to buy 3 discs of the pinball arcade for my ps4 and I have been having a lot of fun playing them. I have played visual pinball in the past and am lazily making my own virtual pinball cab... Not in a real rush, as even at its best its just a video game emulation... Still virtual pinball in any realistic form can have benefits. Learning the rules and getting a strategy in place for playing a table... And even learning the video modes for games is a great benefit.
FYI really liked what the pinball arcade people did. As I said I came from a Visual Pinball background, and really what they did blows VP away in terms of look and gameplay. Cab functionality of course if better in VP... Anyway...
So I have been playing a lot of cactus canyon. Just an amazing game. And Straight Down the Middle got me thinking wouldn't it be great if they did remake a Cactus Canyon.
Now a lot of people say the game isn't complete. But, it seems pretty good to me. Really good. What needs to be added?
I do think they could do a better end game match, but thats a minor thing. But, I would like a real match as I think its just numbers and no real animation that fits the theme. While I do like deep games, and I do think deep games play better for the home use crowd. I don't mind if a game is as deep as Monster Bash, as long as its good.
And I kind of hope Cactus Canyon is the next remake from CGC... Then Tales of the Arabian Nights would be sweet to have.

Quoted from LTG:

https://www.pinballnews.com/shows/expo2006/index8.html Scroll down about 1/3rd of the way to the design team's fireside chat at Expo and listen for yourself.
LTG : )

Wow... A lot to get through. But, I think I shall listen to that tomorrow at work. Thanks.

And I just completed showdown mode in pinball arcade. Again... Not the real thing, but seeing the mode is seeing the mode and all it took was one weekend of playing... So yeah... The game is still very shallow. But, its very beautiful and great world underglass. Part of a 3 pin collection no way. But, a 5 or larger I still think the game would be great. Especially since how many hours do you need to play just one pin.
