Yeah the physics are really improved on this. I couldn't never get multiball on the Extreme or Agents table on FX1. I got it on both within a couple minutes.
I haven't had the time to check out the new tables, but just going by the video intro of them they look fucking awesome!
I just need to get me some more points.

The new tables are quite cluttered and I don't really dig stuff that wouldn't happen in real life pinball, like magically morphing aliens. Saying that they're quite fun and I look forward to learning how to play them.
Rocky and Bullwinkle was always boring - shame really because it could have been so much better.

Yeah, this is why I want some pro pinball designers to get in on this...the more saturated playfield art (which also doesn't have a real coherent and directional flow to or from the features and targets on the table) really distracts on top of the busy sea of feature props occluding the mid and upper parts of the table.dejay said:

i'm liking it, but I have to agree with whoever said the unrealistic stuff put them off... I know it's a game, but that stuff it just silly, it ruins the feel.
My god, the Wizard scores required to unlock this game's avatar items are ridiculous. I have decent scores on every table released and those added scores, plus the x13 multiplier, plus a few friends that have decent scores, still aren't enough to unlock the first award. And the threshold for the second award is 20x that!

Yeah, that Earth Defense one is also really nice, and so far I'm really digging the just released Paranormal table also (it's also getting very high ratings on PSN). Oh and the Ninja Gaiden 2 table is awesome too.

Eh doesn't bother me, in fact the wackier the better as far as I'm concerned.jizzlobber said:
Played a bunch of this last night and really love it. I actually like the unrealistic animations. The old table ended up being a little stale because of it. My only real gripe with it, is you can't change tables in multiplayer. Seems weird that the host doesn't have the power to click to a menu and change tables/goals. Or am I just missing something.

I think he's referring to unrealistic table features. Stuff like the animated creature in Biolab and the aqueducts and torches in Rome. A real pinball table would never have stuff like that (if it did, it would be accomplished with lights, surface artwork, and simple toys). It definitely detracts from the pinball experience, but at the same time it can be kind of pretty (see Rome).dchavez said:
Anyway, I went ahead and bought all the tables except Street Fighter, which kept giving me an error message yesterday when I tried to buy.

Hmm good question but my guess would be yes.see5harp said:

The platform stuff is cool, but it's really the leaderboard stuff that has me feeling like this is a modern game. Say what you want about the look of avatars, but having a simple api to bring in visual cues to connect you to your friends was pretty brilliant. The physics and that sorta stuff don't really fell all that different than Zen Pinball to me. I'm a casual pinball player though.

Game kicks ass, I've got all the tables but haven't laid down any decent scores yet. Seeing as Gowans is the only person on my friendlist with the stones to buy the game I'm gonna have to add everyone who listed their gamertag.
My GT is Luse666, and I'll be seeing you all on the leaderboards.

I've got a decent friends list for this game filled out now, enough to fill the first page of top scores for most tables. It'll definitely add to the fun when playing this; the friends and avatar features in this game are quite good!

Feel free to add me to your friends list as well. Just click on my GAF user profile for my GT.
Oh, and just write "GAF" if you send me a request!
I fooled around with my imported SFII board this morning. I dig the graphical updates and I'll spring for the $10 board pack after I get paid tomorrow.

Umm...so where is the option to buy the Street Fighter 2(or ANY of the other Pinball FX tables) in this new hub? I only see the option to buy the new-school 4 and old-school 4 unlicensed tables.
Did they not include a 'shop for tables' button??? WTF

The game is fun and very nice looking, but the physics are still way off. The ball moves around way to fast. I really hope Williams releases another HOF Collection.

Yeah I tried the demo last night and the ball physics didn't seem to be a huge jump over Zen Pinball. Maybe a little better perhaps but I couldn't tell a big difference. I do still enjoy the games despite the physics being slightly off. I'm torn though because I'd love to bring my Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 table into the new game and this one isn't available on 360. Is Pinball FX2 (or Zen Pinball 2) coming to PSN anytime soon? These staggered releases on both platforms are confusing to me.

Do the tables for this count towards the "Spend 2400 points get 800 points" promotion?

Owning the old stuff under a different gamertag than you own the new game will also cause problems. I think if you sign in under the old gamertag, they will import properly.
If you still have problems, Xbox support is the way to go, since it is a Marketplace issue.

I wish they'd split up the old tables for individual purchase. Speed Machine and Agents were pretty good, but I just can't recommend anything that comes with Extreme. Buccaneer might be okay if the scoring was changed so the big score events weren't practically impossible to trigger.
