Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
Xbox clusterfuck continues. First two packs of DLC show up in game, but trying to purchase them leads to nowhere. Also, there's an optional update that, if you select to download, only goes to 99% before saying it doesn't exist.

I think it's tied with the update to the first 4 tables, that isn't downloadable yet. They said that should be fixed tomorrow. Not sure what the deal with that is, but if you try downloading it now, it just fails at 99%.

I think the achievements problem is just Microsoft hasn't put them up yet, because they do pop in game. I guess there's only one achievement per table, and it's the one for getting a score on the scoreboard.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
Yeah, you're right. I just tried it and did get an achievement and noticed the other 3 are there as well. Wonder if it's going to be another 4 month wait to get the other 4 tables? Realistically I'm guessing we should get them in a few weeks or so.

I gotta say, the physics on the new tables are damn near perfect. They aren't floaty at all like the original 4 tables are. Hopefully that patch tomorrow also fixes those (or maybe the previous title update did). I think this upcoming patch is specifically called out as a lighting update, so I'm not sure.

Was at a classic pinball expo last weekend. Here's a video in case anyone's interested in seeing what one of these things looks like.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
The old tables in Pinball Arcade don't seem floaty any more either.
I'm having a bug now where it keeps asking me to purchase/redownload DLC pack 2 after already buying it, and redownloading it isn't fixing the issue. So... yeah. I've read other people having this issue come and go. Seriously, Farsight can't code for shit.

As far as the Popcap game that is going to made into a Pinball table, I'm going with Plants vs Zombies. It seems to lend itself most to the format. Watch, it will be something silly like Peggle now.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
Well, I'm glad we finally have a release date for the Vita game. I'm really looking forward to getting that. I wonder how much memory it will take up to bring over all 15 (or 16 counting the Pop Cap one) tables I currently own on the PS3 to the Vita. I might need to buy a bigger memory card, but man are they expensive. In either case, having versions of those tables I can play during my lunch time or waiting for an appointment will be great. I'm tempted to re-buy some of the ones I have for FX2 just so I'll have a more complete set. At least I'll probably re-buy Epic Quest.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
So, according to my calculations, by the time they come out with Pack #14, they will have run out of Williams HoF tables to recycle into their bundles. That's something to look forward to.
I'll have to check out Harley Davidson -- don't think I've ever seen that table. When does Pack 3 hit PSN? I really liked that Universal Monster table when I tried it out on the iPad -- it's so good it'll get me to purchase the pack even though it includes that snooze-fest Gorgar table (which I'm sure has all sorts of great pinball historical value despite being boring to play).

No, it is not projected via mirror. The DMD is mounted there. It is also not difficult to read at all.
