ok, now I'm ready to get off work with that news!

What a pleasant surprise! Downloading now.

Highscore for a minute there on TOTAN

TOM looks gorgeous on the PS3....plays great too. Having fun with it!

Just as an FYI you can only dl games on 2 consoles now rather than 5 they made that update late last year in order to curb the rampant game sharing that was going on. The vita is not included in that count so you can actually dl it on 2 ps3 consoles and 1 vita. If I am understanding your statement correctly.

+1 on that note!

I have the Williams collection on my wii and 360....but this is my first PS3 version with the REAL tables (of course I have all the zen tables). I just enjoy it on my PS3 more because the controller is more comfortable...that's just me though. I have this on my iPad as well but I am definitely loving it on my PS3 more....since its my main source for movies I have it hooked to my LED tv with surround sound...and it's a blast to play like this. The colors are vibrant...gameplay is fast and enjoyable...and it's not easy as I love a challenge. Farsight is definitely on to something here....more tables please!!!

that is correct, man it looks fantastic on the vita screen best version yet!

I have been contemplating picking up a vita...I know that OLED screen is pretty darn slick! You enjoying yours besides the pinball??

Is it me or do the flippers seem a tad slow to respond.
I never had that feeling on the Williams collection.

Oops. Iphone double post

Now playing...

Can't find it in UK PSN store. I guess it's a slightly different schedule...

You know it really is a cool system, I always get really excited about the playstation handhelds, buy one at launch, and then it just sits there, cause I don't really have time to play games on the go. This pinball game coming out really makes the purchase worth it, now I get to play pinball on my break at work. Rant over. Summary: A very good system if you realistically can think of a time that you would play it over your ps3 or other home console.

The Vita is fantastic and is only going to get better, great E3 line up for it

Playing MM on an android phone now. How are you supposed to get the super skill shot? If I hold left, the ball launches. What about troll bombs too?

It's because they mapped them to triggers by default, which are analogue, and there's a deadzone. On the 360 version at least in the options you can switch it to shouldet buttons.

That's the least of the games problems though, the physics are just plain wrong - ruins the tables which look accurate and well lit.

Torched the in-game high score on TOM! Pretty much sucked it up on the other tables.

The physics aren't perfect, but they're decent. All in all it is money well spent just to be able to learn the rulesets of these pins.

Add me! PSN ID: Dr_Adder

How can it be fixed in PS3?

Do you mean the flipper button mappings?

If so, you go into Options and there is a setting to change it. On PS3 they have it set to the shoulder buttons which is the way I feel it should be. No change required!

It just feels the flippers are a little slow to react with L1/R1.

+1 Wasn't that hard to do

Agreed! No fix required...play on kids.

Got my 4 high score achievements, but I still have a long way to go on the wizard goals, as usual, TOTAN's harem multiball is going to be a royal pain.

Oh - if the PS3 has them correctly by default, it's just because of the physics - the ball runs off the inlane way, way too fast. I never played a video pinball game I enjoyed less than this one, due to the physics - it's like theres a powerful electromagnet at the foot of the game.

I agree with ya there system11, not in that I don't enjoy it, but it really sucks that ball down the drain, some shots that should have bounced off the flipper onto the other flipper, zip, down the drain. I've also had cases of the ball going through the flipper. That's infuriating.

Does anybody else find the flipper response time to be off a bit? I play real pinball everyday of my life and I know for a fact that when you hit the flipper button on a real machine the flippers react a lot faster. In the game, you hit the flipper button on the controller and it takes second before the flipper in the game goes off. It really throws off my timing on trying to hit shots. I thought maybe it was just because I was super stoned while playing it. I fired up Zen pinball and didn't have this issue. Anybody else have this problem? I played it at a friends house and at this point, because of that issue, ZI'm not impressed. Everything else about the game was great, but that timing issue killed it for me.

That's what I was complaining about in posts above. It is a tad slow in response time.

Sorry man. I only read the first page of posts. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I kept telling my friend about it and he said it felt fine. I knew there was something wonky about it. Thanks! Hopefully they'll issue an update correcting this otherwise I doubt I'll be buying it. It's a shame too cuz it looks pretty good. I also feel that if there's a TOM at a bar 2 houses away from me I might as well just go play that

Good to see I'm not the only one experiencing the flipper delay with the PS3. It is terribly lagging and I'm afraid not something I can get used to. Farsight needs to issue a fix.

Om my MAC version its unplayble. Huge dissapointment.

I downloaded the PS3 version the other night and noticed a huge delay in the flipper response. Hit button... wait half a second... then it flips. If I want to hit a shot up the middle and the ball is coming down the inlane with some speed, I have to flip before it ever reaches the flipper. I played the verion on the iPad2 and it is much better... still a little delay, but I am able to compensate for the most part. On PS3, I just can't seem to train my brain to flip a ball that is still in the inlane.

You know it's pretty hilarious to think that a 20 year old computer flips the flippers faster than a cutting-edge pinball simulator in 2012 running on a 6-core cell processor.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I prefer Farsight Studio's reality based pins over most of the Zen pins. Also, TOTAN looks a lot better in this new collection than it did in the Williams collection for the PS3. So I don't mind they put it in.

I swear I see flipper delay on my Xbox 360, and that's whether I use the triggers or the shoulder buttons, so I doubt it's really any different on the PS3. I was thinking of downloading it on my PS3 to see if it was any different, but it doesn't sound like it. I just don't get it. Why can't they make the flippers fire right now as soon as the button gives the signal?

I like this just as much as ZEN...if not better. Depends on the table. I don't think the 1/2 second flipper response thing is an issue....it's almost like that's they way they intended the game to be played...works for me. From the time you push a button to the time a flipper actually flips on a REAL table is not instantaneous either...it just happens so quickly you don't notice the delay.

+1. I had the same problem with a WII game once. It was testing your reaction speed and I could
never get a good score. But then I hooked it up to my older plasma TV downstairs that doesn't
do all the picture processing and it made a world of difference.
The TV needs a little time to manipulate the image so it just delays the picture and sound a few frames. You would never know this was going on watching a movie but with games it's different.

When will BOP and MM come to consoles?

I'm pretty surprised that Black Hole turned out to be my favorite. I was enjoying playing the game with one ball. Then I got a multi-ball and things started to get crazy! What an awesome pin. It's too bad the actual machine sounds pretty high maintenance.

Come on iOs!!

When the heck is MM and BoP gonna be on the Xbox, dang it? I want them to do that before they announce the next set of machines that will come after the set I haven't even been able to download yet.

on their facebook page a few days ago they said they just submitted the first two dlc packages to xbox, but microsfot takes 3-4 weeks to approve them, so we are in for a wait.

Sooo...

I didn't see anybody mention this:

"We have good news and bad news to report on the issue of licensed tables. We’ve finally succeeded in negotiating all of the licenses we’d need to bring the Twilight Zone to the Pinball Arcade. This is unquestionably one of the greatest pinball tables of all time (and is currently #1 in IPDB’s user rankings). However the licenses are VEY expensive- so expensive that the table probably isn’t commercially viable. Some of you have suggested a Kickstarter project to raise money for the license costs and we’re considering this. We’d like to ask your opinion- is this a good idea? If we did it what should the rewards be for backers, and at what contribution levels? We’d appreciate your thoughts!"

I'd contribute to a Kickstarter for it, sadly. I hate Kickstarter, and I think it's a massive FAD right now that will die, but before it does, I'm half tempted to put up a Kickstarted for myself called:

"My Job took away all my overtime and I need to feed my family and pay my bills give me money now."

Man, I can't WAIT for CV to be on the ipad!!
