According to ArcadeHeroes (http://arcadeheroes.com/2014/10/01/time-crisis-5-confirmed-may-unveiled-nycc/), the cabinet could be based on mach storm

Wow, better start saving, so that I can own this classic in about 20 years! Will be great looking next to its then 50 years old predecessor!  :D

The name of the game is a bit lame though, battle pod, IMO

After seeing a couple of videos, it looks like the joystick and thruster is a bit flimsy, I dont think they can take the punishment in an arcade for long....

Vader himself is there!  :P  :arrow:

Don't know the price, but I'm sure this should big a way much expensive than that!
The IAAPA is an expo that present stuff for theme park, Roller coasters and huge stuff like that... mostly only amusement park could afford a such setup? Or not?  :-\

Someone was in New Year last month  and found the brand new Star Wars Battlepod playable at the Dave & Buster's on Time Square.
During his game, the game started to freeze, and ... and ... this screen  :arrow:

Maybe its windows, but the CLI that is in the screenshot looks like Linux to me with the " [OK] " in the end of each line..

Definitely Windows.
The title bar seems to contain "C:¥Windows¥System32¥WindowsPowerShell¥v1.0¥powershell.exe".
It's also using the Windows Classic theme.

I really pity future arcade game collectors. They're going to have one hell of a job too keep those Windowz boxes up and running in 30 years........compared to that, fixing an early 80's PCB is going to be a walk in the park.

What I found funny about the cab though was that it had a fan inside which came on when the ships went past, which added to the experience but there is no wind on space lol  ha ha

the wind effect is also present in other modern arcades games, it really adds indeed

I played Darke Escape 4D, also a rail shooter, this has 3D glasses, a great sound system with subwoofer and wind, scared the hell out of me sometimes..... and it also measures your heartbeat and makes fun of you where you "panic"

Title: Re: Bandai Namco unveiling a new Star Wars arcade machine next week!!!
Post by: level42 on January 26, 2015, 07:31:46 PM
Waha, CKONG and I played the same machine, in Renesse I bet :)

I think we didn't go with the 3D glasses but it was already scary enough, CKONG screamed like a schoolgirl all the time.............. ;D ;D ;D ;D......

The thing is that it's not simply a fan (like propcycle) but something that feels much more like an explosion of air...it really gives a loud "thud" sound.I wonder how it works.

We really had a lot of fun playing that game !!

Of course there is no air in space, and thus there wouldn't be any explosion sounds either......but I've learned to turn off thinking about stuff like that when watching anything Star Wars and simply "enjoy the ride".

Hope one of these will make it over here !!!

Post by: DarthNuno on August 18, 2015, 08:46:42 PM
I hope they will increase the game (re)play value on that Standard Edition.
Because the battle pod version is more an impressive ride/experience than a real 'challenging' game.
So if they keep the same game(play) but without being inside an immersive cockpit, I'm not sure this gonna a cool game to own?
Of course, I can be wrong, I've never tried the game so far....

...oh ... whatever! It's written Star Wars on it ... so ... NEED TOO!  ;)  :P
