The article doesn't mention whether the game will include online multiplayer functionality, which would be crucial for a physics-based arcade game like this one. Will players be able to compete against each other remotely, or is it strictly single-player?
The lack of online multiplayer info is disappointing since the game's appeal really relies on competitive physics-based gameplay, but I'd argue that's exactly why the local multiplayer focus makes sense for this title. The article's omission of that detail is frustrating, especially since it's clearly a major part of what players will want to do with this arcade experience.
I'm skeptical about online multiplayer being included since it would complicate the physics-based mechanics that make Rack 'Em Up so satisfying - the current single-player mode already has enough issues with inconsistent ball physics across different systems.
The article doesn't mention whether this is a new re-release or a completely remastered version of the original, which would be important for fans who already own the classic arcade game. Will this version include the original's known issues like the notoriously difficult final round?
