Looks like some other new tables coming to Pinball FX 2, along with the Family Guy table:

I could have sworn that someone (pinata?) was asking for an Archer table here, years ago. Did a half-assed search but couldn't find anything.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Holy crap, please let that be true.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

October Fools!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Sweet! I think it was actually announced a while back but nothing ever after that.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Yeah, I think those three tables are being placed with the Family Guy table. It's showing up as achievements on TrueAchievements as an Unknown pack.

Still having issues with my Pinball FX2 XB1 achievements, I got the three from earlier, but I got two last night and they are on my notifications but the title still does not appear in my achievement list. Eventually, I think TrueAchievements will scan the notifications and I'll get credited for it, but its frustrating that it seems to be on a time delay.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

So the Unknown Pack on TA. There's a lot of talk about Windows 10. Do you think that they're going to add Win10 to 360/X1 cross-buy? That would be amazing if I could drop the Steam collection!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I wish Farsight weren't a bunch of dicks and also had Cross-platform buying. Still never bothered rebuying anything on Steam, and they are terrible with their PC support anyway.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I'm hoping that the new X-files tv show revival becomes a hit. I would love to see an X-Files table. I would get that in a heartbeat.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Not a chance. Look alike images result in all sorts of licensing headaches (except in Star Wars, where I think they've given away their likenesses decades ago). Best you're going to get is Paranormal, which is a pretty good table.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Or maybe the piece of shit Sega pin on Pinball Arcade.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I just hooked up my new X1 today and went thru Pinball Arcade and Pinball FX first. I think you are crazy saying $15 bucks is pricey. I missed the dang sale and now they are back to $30 and $40 a season and I am strongly considering buying them at full price. Amazing amount of tables since I had last checked them and sooooo much cheaper than even considering buying one real table.

Since I missed the sale, do the seasons for Pinball Arcade happen very often? I am so pissed I missed it as I would have bought all the pro seasons available.

Also, did all the pinball tables for FX 360 transfer to the X1 or are there some missing?

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

No not often. Twice so far for the PS4 and just that once on the XO.

Most, but not all. The updated versions of the four original Pinball FX tables, Nightmare Mansion, the Rocky & Bullwinkle table and most disappointingly, the Ms Splosion Man tables did not transfer to the XO.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Dang. I loved that Rocky & Bullwinkle table. I also loved the Agents table in the original FX. Good riddance to Xtreme. Worse table they ever did. :lol:

I hate to hear that about the sale. I may bid my time and see if anything pops up for Black Friday for Pinball Arcade.

I just glanced over Pinball Arcade and the tables and it still appears they haven't put any work into friends leaderboards, correct? That is the one thing that Pinball FX crushes them with.

And anyone who plays pinball and does not have me on their friends list, send me a friend request if you want another person on your pinball fx leaderboards. I plan to get back into this game soon since I got the X1.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I probably am crazy, but also a cheap bastard :). I do agree that its worth it and I probably should have jumped on board, but I'm replaying all of my old tables on Pinball FX2 and having a good time (even if my achievements are still broken, but at least Zen is working on a fix as I'm not the only one). I just have so much else to play right now on both XB1 and 360 that it would have been $30 spent for a rainy day. I even decided against my Rock Band 4 digital pre-order.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Seriously. If you think $15 for 10-15 tables is expensive, don't even look at how much a REAL pin costs!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I know where you are coming from there.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Not really digging such a cartoonish, cel-shaded look to the table.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Considering the nature of the show, I'm good with the cell shading. It looks like it fits in just fine. Eager to see the rest of the toon tables getting released.

Also, for those on Xbox One, Pinball FX2 achievements did get fixed it looks like. My game is again showing in my Achievements app, and TrueAchievements is back to updating correctly.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

As an aesthetic, I'm okay with it. But for actually playing pinball, it looks really weird to me.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Much like Alexander Hamilton, I'm about to say goodbye to a $10 bill.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Meh, getting sick of the ramp-fest most of the Zen tables are. I'd rather have Stern's Family Guy instead of that.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Only if you want to contribute to yet another Kickstarter campaign.

My friend has that table. It's pretty fun (though I'm no fan of the show)

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I guess you didn't see Stern/Farsight's announcement that they are going to be releasing a new game that has only Stern pin's. I think it's safe to say we'll be seeing plenty of licensed games from them, since that's all they make at this point. Granted it'll be easier to work in agreements to make virtual versions of pins from this point on, but I'm sure they want to do at least some of their back catalog.

Balls of Glory pack releases next week!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

^Nice. Bet that one will have some funny lines in it.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Tables are now available on PSN for PS3 (and then imported to PS4) for $9.99

Review of the four-pack

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

:lol: That's written like a 7th grade book report.

Cartoon shows result in cartoony graphics? Check.

Ball launchers detract from a table's experience? What?

Overall, overall? Man, maybe give your review a once-over before publishing instead of just doing the bare minimum for the free code because you were excited to play Archer pinball.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I wish I still wrote game reviews....but yeah...that review felt like a plug more so than an actual review. The review reads like a 7.5 or 8, tops...and yet he gives it a 9. I do understand what he meant about Ball Launchers though...the one in Deadpool is annoying...also Fear Itself is another bad one. But it's not the whole table, that's for sure.

The review itself doesn't make me want to buy it or not buy it any less...but the screen shots are the most helpful and I'm just deciding if I want to go ahead and spend the $10 now or wait for a sale.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I just tried the American Dad table. Don't really like it and yes the ball launcher is ridiculous and useless (water bottles that fill up --hilarious?). Still I bought the set because it's Zen and I have all of them (well, except SW Rebels since I still don't know what that is). $10 for four licensed tables on the Vita and PS4 is a great deal regardless.
I'll comment on the other tables when I play them (though I've never seen Bob's Burgers or Archer, so the references will be lost on me)

Now, will we get one table for The Force Awakens or will we get three????

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

If the ball isn't BB-8, it doesn't matter as it will be a colossal failure.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

This is interesting because it will all come down to the licensing and who holds it for the virtual and the physical pins.

The rumor is that Stern Pinball currently holds the license for Ep. 7-9. and will probably build a physical pin based on these sometime in the near future. If this is true then Stern's recently announced partnership with Pinball Arcade may roll over to the virtual table as well. Which could lock out any future PFX Star Wars tables. Maybe.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

How do you like the Vita for pinball (Zen and Arcade)?

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I'm sorry, is there another use for the Vita besides pinball?

;)


Yeah, it's fun. Doesn't look quite as good, but does look pretty good in normal horizontal orientation (You can play with the entire table displayed vertically, but it's WAY too small to see anything that way). I've passed many hours in doctors' offices and in gymnastic class waiting areas playing pinball. It's kind of the ultimate pick-up-and-play game. And with over 50 tables to pick from between tables I own on TPA and ZP2, it never gets old.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Balls of Glory is now up on Xbox One as well as 360 (which was Tuesday). $10....$10...*looks at $16.49 in account*...*sigh*....I'm so cheap.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Balls of Glory is a really stupid name for the Table pack. Should have been Animation Domination.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Okay southeastern US people, it's time for another pinball show.

www.freeplayflorida.com

Orlando, FL - November 20th-22nd.

It's a great show (at least it was last year). Come by!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

^Dang dude. Next time post this kinda stuff way before the week of. I would really like to go to one of these things. I am probably going to try for the Atlanta one next year.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Spiderbite, it's the same time every year. So here is your notice for the next 2-3 years. :)
