    I just read an article about E3 that mentioned Rollers of the Realm, which is coming out for the Playstation platform later this year. Looked at it online and it looks really interesting since it incorporates pinball into the storyline and gameplay. Check out the screen shots on the website: http://www.atlus.com/rollers/

    As for me, pinball has officially begun to ruin my video game days just like video games destroyed pinball for me in the 80s. My Xbox One & 360 are very lonely...

    Not a fan of the theme, but if they can make other tables like this (wide open playfield with storyline and characters interacting), I might be.. Like maybe if there were a race track, and who you hit made an impact on who wins the race.

    About the only game I invest time in is GTA.. sometimes to play missions, sometimes just to mess around as a giant sandbox. Only problem with GTA is it can easily suck a few hours out of you without even trying, and all you can think about is "I could have cleaned and probably LED'd an entire machine in the time I did absolutely nothing in GTA"

    Don't ever feel guilty about blowing shit up for a few hours in GTA. Great stress reliever, and everyone needs veg time.

    Actually saw it on a news article today. At $10 on steam its probably worth a try.

    I'm going to pick it up on PS4 and will post back with a pinball fan's perspective.

    That's the community rating. IGN hasn't rated it yet.

    So I have played through the entire game up to the last boss battle and I thought I would post an update. I have found the game to be pretty enjoyable so far. Ball physics and table layouts are nothing like ZEN or PBA. It has a pretty big RPG side to the game. As you progress you earn gold and extra characters that have different abilities. Gold can be used to upgrade equipment. I think that anyone here that enjoys PBA or ZEN will probably find it pretty fun. Some of the "tables" are more enjoyable than others, but as you progress through the game it starts to get pretty challenging. I bought it for PS4, which at this point was a mistake. The final boss battles are kind of broken and were patched on the Steam version but the PS4 version still isn't patched. If you are going to buy it, get it on steam. All in all, it's not serious pinball, but it is a fun pinball-inspired game that pinball fans will probably enjoy.

    This looks fun. Reminds me of a better version the old 3D Ultra Pinball games.

    enjoyable game, indy game kind of feel.

    only annoyance to me is that you can move the pinball mid flight with the stick
