So Cactus Canyon is a bust? CGC look busy for the next few months on MMR RE, spooky are busy for a year, so its either a very limited run or there is no new remake. But aren't CGC doing aliens and doing something with Mark Richie...
Quoted from Whysnow:Proc has been great. Was a much needed and great use for the current phase of Spooky.
It is also expensive and a risk for any company looking to stabilize as they grow.
I have zero idea what boardset will be used with this team build.
I hope for Spooky that they can get to a point of greater control, lower cost, and full functionality for their boardset of the future.
I am excited to see what the new Parker board does and if it is used.
Again, Proc is great for what it is, but if buying 500+ a year, I would want to bring more control and savings in house...
Why is it a risk? What more control does it give you? It's tried and tested and is getting larger and larger volumes allowing MM to make alot more and reduce the price. Versus trying to develop something expensive and at low volume requiring significant investment for a shop that can make, at most, 40 games a month. The most reliable part of TNA and ACNC is the PROC system, and PROC seems to be very reliable. As operators using PROC is helpful for us in being able to service games.
Quoted from Whysnow:What is the total cost for a P-roc system as set up in R&M?
What is the total cost for the system currently used by CGC?
Currently, this appears to be the only major component of a game that neither company controls themselves.
At one point I know the Parker board was supposed to have all the functionality of other systems, meet the growing needs of game developers/manufacturers, and striking for a drastic reduction in price.
Why would these 2 companies not explore this potential alternative and the benefits that could come?
CGC have their own board set. Its beagleboard based which is incredibly cheap. CGC make a lot of stuff other than pinball so maybe good for them, they are also using emulation of which others aren't.
Neil.
Quoted from pinballinreno:I was surprised as to how effective the beaglebone is, in AFMr.
Its fast and efficient.
got all three remakes and not one of them has had a single_ problem. CGC are smashing it from a reliability POV.
Quoted from o-din:How long before they run out of outdated data east has been themes to rehash? I'm kinda looking forward to them redoing some of those stellar sega titles.
o o-din, haven't you figured out this pinball scam? They will of course do a rehash of the rehash!
