I loooooove the new lighting system.
Still hoping this will be out next week, but the silence surrounding this is worrying me.
At one point int he video, he shows how to turn the ambient lighting all the way down. It looks like all of the rest of the video is taken with it set that way.

eeeeeep. I wish we had a firm release date, rather than 'sometime in the next two to three weeks at the latest'.

Awesome. If they're reviewing it, then surely the PS4 is close? I will probably buy several tables on PS4 and double dip on a handful of the ones I really like on Vita.
Has anyone stopped to consider how sweet it will be to stream sessions on Twitch? I look forward to getting schooled by all of you wizards in this thread and learning by watching!

Yeah, really looking forward to the streaming. Also remote play will be great -- hoping the PS4 tables on the Vita will look better than the Vita native tables themselves.

I'm sure they will, but until (if?) remote play gets patched for 60 fps, I doubt I'll be playing much pinball that way.
The next generation of pinball is upon us! The Pinball Arcade on the PS4 looks stunning!

Looks great, and welcome to gaf! Really great work keeping stuff up to date at the PAF forums, always appreciated having a nice central source of information to find frequent updates in.
Looking as good as it looks now on the PS4, that makes me optimistic that the horribly low-res wooden floor textures will eventually get removed or upgraded.
It looks good, but there really needs to be an ambient light option between Neutral and Dark. It seems like Neutral is a bit too bright, and Dark is a bit too dark on most of the tables.
Hey, love your work! Whatever you do, don't try to accidentally start modding, your powers are useless here
I actually came back to this thread to bring up something that appeared on the PAF website, Pinball Arcade Players... a more focused (I guess?) website for TPA. Probably closer to an awesome wikia or something I guess.
Just on the PS4 version... ugh, I thought we were going to have the new UI by now
And the lighting is quite uneven, too. I think the difference is that Funhouse has a lot of prebaked lighting effects that make it look far better than the other tables on the current releases (PC, iOS, 360 etc.), but something was lost or not fixed in transition and rather than have the table being "flat" and then having lighting applied (as it should, like we see in Elvira) it looks over-exaggerated. At least, that's what I think. I suspect same for BoP as well... looks too overdone compared to Elvira.Anyone else think that?
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
As for the UI...an entirely brand new redesigned UI is currently in development and should be rolled out to all platforms and devices in the very near future. I'm not allowed to elaborate on the details, but I can assure you that FarSight has been listening to everyone's feedback and you'll all be very satisfied with the end result.

Are they working on an xbox one version of this?

FarSight has yet to receive their Xbox One dev kit, so they have not begun development as of yet.
Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome and kind words.

thanks for joining us.
NOW WHEN DO I GETS TO PLAY THIS?
edit: watched up to the end of your Bride of Pinbot game so far. considering you don't nudge or pass, you're damn good, better than me and I occasionally nudge and pass a lot. I really felt for you on those metamorphoses.

I've only watched the first three tables so far. I love how Bride looks now.

Actually, one of the guys from PS Nation was playing in that stream. I will be streaming the PS4 version of The Pinball Arcade on my Twitch channel nightly/weekly Monday - Thursday once it's officially released on the PS4 which should be in early December.
Flipper lag is non-existent in PS4 version.
Perhaps with a comparison like that, FS will be more inclined to release the PC upgraded lighting version (especially if they fix the shitty post-processing issue with ATI/AMD cards).
Edit: HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE PS4 HAS BALL-SPIN IN FINALLY!!!
Have a look at the ball as it spins across the table... you can see that it's not rolling in a straight line, but it looks like it's spinning backwards and to the left.
Oh, this be a glorious day!
Edit: Looking at tables later in the video... maybe not. Just thought it looked like it did from that quick flash at BoP
Daaaaamn. Will be a must purchase on PS4 if I ever get it.
..So I'll be buying tables AGAIN

Cool. I've watched you play before.
Can't wait, gonna buy em all!
Thanks for noticing my avatar. That's a pic I took of my machine after I replaced the decals. Had to take everything out of the cabinet and strip it down to the bare wood. I'm happy to say I didn't break it. Took me 25 hours, and now it looks new.
On a somewhat related note, real-world Medieval Madness pins are FINALLY being re-run by Planetary Pinball who have the Williams license. Thank god. Prices were getting nuts, with nice original run ones going for $12k and up. A regular (LE's are already sold out) one is $7995, $1000 deposit at signup. Delivery late 2014.

Yeah those are probably my favorite tables as well. I love stuff like Space Shuttle, Black Knight, and even the really simple stuff like Firepower
In addition to the other suggestions - Firepower, Flight 2000, Centaur, Gorgar. I tend to prefer that era of tables myself. I'm hoping Sorcerer comes to TPS soon.
So, did they just up and cancel the Wii U version? If I remember correctly, it was originally intended for launch / near launch back in 2012. I've seen builds of it. I don't get why a few tables aren't put out to get the ball rolling (sorry for pun) and then DLC added later.
I really wanted this. Zen/Star Wars is okay but I prefer real elements to fantasy.
I'd also like to know what's up with it. I was really looking forward to it.

I don't know if they gave up on it, but I do know I did.

This makes me want a PS4 asap, more than Resogun & Killzone right now tbh.
I have one question though, for anyone who has it, what's the situation on trophies? On Vita, the last few releases had none and I heard it was because they hit their limit?
Also, are all the tables available for PS3/Vita available already, or just most?

I haaaate you, H-A-R-E-M loop! Either I overshoot it or undershoot it, when I get it it feels like I did it out of luck, and I'm supposed to do it 5 times for the harem multiball? I just can't get the timing rigtht. Twice I've been close to completing it, only to lose my last ball attempting to get the last letter.

Well, it's the thing I'm still most excited for on my brand new PS4. To start it's going to be just the first season of tables, with the rest to follow. Trophies they're still limited, but they're distributing them differently this time to help that problem somewhat.
It's the standard goal I gave up trying. Every other table I've cared to play I've got to the wizard goals... but not that one. On a couple of occasions I got two balls locked for Harem multiball. I've never got it going.
If I stop the ball to let the tiger loop time out, I struggle to make the shot. I can hit the tiger loop pretty reliably with the ball in motion. Between that, AND the genie multiball lock cancelling out the harem multiball when it's lit... I gave up. One day I might fluke it, but I'm not going to waste time trying for it when I could be going for high scores or trying to beat wizard modes or whatever!

Unfortunately no. Any table you purchase for one platform doesn't affect another.

Fish Tales perhaps?
Also, Whirlwind will be the FTotM.
A little too late for the Sharknado jokes, FS.
