I'm so glad I'm not in a position to get early access anymore because I totally have other gaming planned this weekend and having those tables would wreck all of that.

And I'm going out of town. FML. (To see Ron Swanson though. And to try and be just a bit more like you. ;))

I had this shirt at the time, but I thought wearing it to that party a little tacky.

Man, I had totally forgotten about the Avengers tables finally coming out today for PSN. Thanks to the upcoming Vita versions, I'll be buying this for Zen Pinball tonight. Looking forward to trying them out.

In case anybody was still unsure of the details regarding Zen Pinball 2, I've copied the FAQs below:

Spoiler:

Frequently asked questions:

1. How do I get the free Zen Pinball 2 upgrade?

Simply download Zen Pinball 2 from the PlayStation Store when it releases, and all of your Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball tables will be unlocked within Zen Pinball 2.

2. I’m AMAZING at Zen Pinball! What about my trophies and scores? What happens to them?

All of your old Zen Pinball scores and trophies will remain intact. However, they will not carry over to the new platform.

3. What will happen to Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball? Where will all my tables go?

Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball will remain on your PS3 as is. All of your Zen Pinball and Marvel tables will also show up in Zen Pinball 2 under one roof and totally updated. All tables will also be available on the PS Vita as well! You only have to purchase them once and you get them on PS3 and Vita.

4. Do I have to post scores to Facebook?

You don’t have to if you don’t want to. This feature is optional.

5. Can I play it on the Vita with the screen held vertically in portrait mode?

Yes! That is one of the best parts of playing on the Vita! Go for it!

6. Can I remap the controls?

Yes! You can map the flippers to directional buttons (left flipper) and circle button (right flipper). You can also control the flipper from the front or rear touch panels as well. The default control for the flippers is the two shoulder buttons.

7. Can I play my own music while I play Zen Pinball 2?

Yes!

8. I am a PS+ subscriber and I have bought tables through PS+, will I lose those tables?

Of course not! All tables will transfer over to the new platform with updated physics.

9. Wait!! I haven’t bought all the tables from Zen Pinball yet! Can I still do that on ZP2?

Yes! Please do!

10. I don’t have Zen Pinball, just Marvel Pinball. How does Zen Pinball 2 affect me?

You still get the upgrade for free! ZP2 is bringing all the Marvel Tables and Zen Pinball tables together with playable demos for each table, so if you do not yet have any tables from Zen Studios, it’s time to check them out!

11. Should I delete Marvel Pinball and Zen Pinball after I update to ZP2?

That’s up to you. You don’t need to. If you’d like to keep your old scores and trophies, don’t delete them.

12. I would love to show my friends how awesome I am at pinball. What about multiplayer?

There will be local split screen multiplayer available on ZP2 for the PS3, and online multiplayer that allow you to set parameters for a game such as what score to play to and ball loss penalties.

13. WHEN does Zen Pinball 2 release?

We are hoping to have Zen Pinball 2 out in May!
(Now delayed to "Summer" time frame)

14. I live in Europe! When do I get to play?

Zen Pinball 2 will release in Europe and North America during the same week.

15. Are there any new tables coming to Zen Pinball 2?

Yes! Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles will release with Zen Pinball 2. This new four table pack includes World War Hulk, Fear Itself, The Infinity Gauntlet, and Marvel’s The Avengers, based on the new movie from Marvel Entertainment.

16. Will there be DLC for Zen Pinball 2?

Of course! We will be supporting Zen Pinball 2 with regular DLC updates!

I guess the guy in charge of achievements at Zen decided "Fuck it!" and made the simplest 50 point achievements he could.

And I'd like to send that dude a personal thank you. :cool:

While I think Infinity Gauntlet is the most visual striking, and maybe most interesting, I think World War Hulk is my current fave. The Avengers table is ridiculously awesome too though. LOVE the storytelling from the movie they do with that one.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 
Well, it is an "XBLA" game with over 1,500gs and nearly 100 achievements. I'm sure it's not a Zen decision so much as a MS limitation/restriction. Sounds like we're running out of room for achievements in this shell.

Hulk is the only one I got to play this morning before work, but it's just what I like: ramps everywhere.

Also, the Xbox system update this morning seems to have borked some things. There are no leaderboards at the moment, and my achievement doesn't seem to have registered.

Decker 06-20-12 10:46 AM
Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 
I played each table once this morning. Really liked WW Hulk as well -- it's not what I would have expected from a Hulk table (smashing things), but it's more traditional and that's fine with me. I liked that you play some of the game on an MSG-inspired basketball court; have no idea what that's about, but it was a cool sub-table. Infinity Gauntlet was interesting and gorgeous, but seems like Epic Quest where it's confusing at first until you know what's going on. Avengers is really cool and choosing the ball to use is a very cool new feature. Wasn't too fond of Fear Itself, but don't know that story or theme at all -- maybe that would have made it more appealing to me.


Please PSN peeps : add me to your Friends list and get these tables. I miss having a huge list of Friends' scores to aspire to. With the free Vita version coming, I'm going Zen 2/PSN for all future Zen releases and really miss the social aspect.

Back to Pinball Arcade, according to their latest FB post:

We're happy to announce that the update of the Pinball Arcade for iOS (iPhone and iPad) is now available in both free and paid versions. We're also very excited that the paid version will become the iOS App Store's Free App of the Week for a week starting tomorrow! We hope this exposes many new people to our obsession with classic pinball. At Apple's request we will remove the free version from the store for a week during the promotion to avoid confusion. Apple says that our customers who have previously downloaded the free version will continue to have access to the update and in-app purchases during this time, but they didn't seem too sure of themselves- we recommend that everyone using the free version update their app (and buy the new tables if you want them) sometime today just in case you loose the ability to do so for a week. And if you've been on the fence about joining our community on iOS then this next week will be a great time to do so- you'll get the paid version of the app (along with the great Tales of the Arabian Nights table) for free!

I'll add you next time I'm on there, I've been picking up the tables on both since the systems are in different rooms, and they're cheap enough that I don't mind double buying to support a small company.

From what I read on GAF just now (not sure if it's 100%), MS has a limit of 99 achievements on a single game. So PFX2 is getting near their limit, and therefore trying to cut down and conserve them a little bit.

It is free now. It's strange : They have like 12 tables available for purchase on iOS, but still haven't brought a single DLC table to PSN or Xbox Marketplace. I wonder what the hold up is? Anyway, that Monster Mash table (using the Universal classic monsters) is awesome. Too bad the ball physics on the iOS version is so wonky. I'll get that table for sure when it hits PSN

That's what they said on the Zen forums as well, that they want to conserve them. I sort of wish they would have kept it at 3 goals per table in the game at least even if there wasn't an achievement to go with each one. And if they were going to go with the easy achievements for this set, to conserve what they have left even more, they should have just had one 50 pointer for the set of 4 when the goal was reached on each table.

I think the first 2 packs of tables are going to be on PSN next week. Not sure about the Xbox ones. They said part of their problem with XBOX was the title update that allows for the DLC was too big so it was rejected by MS.

They just put an update out yesterday or the day before supposedly to fix issues w/ Monster Bash.

My brother and I have a deal. I buy all of the Zen tables on iOS and he buys the Pinball Arcade titles. We didn't set out that way on purpose, it just happened organically. So far I think I'm ahead on that one.

I had a helluva time getting Circus Voltaire to work on my new iPad. Finally working though. I think that is one of my favorite of the available tables, though Monster Bash and Theatre of Magic are definitely up there as well.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 
Wow, sure enough the first pack is available on the Vita. Since it's not on the PS3 PSN store, I just assumed it wouldn't be on the Vita either. I'll buy pack 2 next week for the PS3/Vita, but not sure about pack one as Medieval Madness seemed pretty generic. I'm downloading the Vita update right now and will (hopefully) be able to demo the tables. I'll post here to confirm whether demos are available for new DLC tables on the Vita after the game updates.


edit : Nope. Trial versions of DLC tables not available on the Vita. :sad:

Decker 06-26-12 11:01 PM
Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 
Well, I bought Circus Voltaire and Funhouse and downloaded them for the PS3 (which is only a 100 kb unlock key), but it doesn't do anything. There seems to be no way to buy DLC in game or download an update to the game. For as much as I complain about forced PSN updates, one here would be sort of useful. I can play the tables on the Vita (Circus Voltaire is a cool and unique table, but damn it's got a huge gap between the flippers), but I can't for the life of me figure out how to play them on the PS3.
Piñata, are you sure these are the guys you want to throw a C-note at?

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 
I backed my pledge way down. Back to $25 before the end of the campaign. Shady, but I didn't like how the addition of st:tng was mishandled.

Glad I did because while I think the preservation of tables is important, I got the free version on iOS and hated how it plays on the iPhone. I expect it's different on the iPad and the consoles, but I haven't bothered to try those again.

I'm happy with Zen's awesome impossible tables. Speaking of which, we are coming up on 3 months since Zen teased the PopCap table with no news. That makes me anxious.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 
For the PS3 versions of the add-ons you will need to redownload the demo (i had to google this last night). Once you re-install the demo the new tables will be available. It seems there was a bug and when more tables are released this will no longer be necessary.

FYI, buying the PS3 add-ons also gives you those tables on the vita. I don't have a vita and don't plan on getting one, but I like this idea.
