A very minor inconsistency, but the art on the slingshots on the TZ table is reversed.

Here's TPA:

And here's the original art:

That is an interesting find, I need to look into how the table was initially shipped and get back to you guys. Thanks for pointing this out, I am surprised we would have passed approval if this is indeed wrong in our game.

Click to expand...

Latest updated table still has the art reversed.. Also while we are on the subject there are several posts missing on the mini playfield... at least 6 are missing... The rubber rings are suspended in the air without the posts.... the rocket kicker metal ball guide is missing... (the one that guides the ball into the hitch hicker lane) and the blue plastic above the skill shot scoop is missing as well...

Another thing that is missing when comparing the 2 images are the table shadows in TZ.. Did the art team forgot them? They didn't in Attack from Mars, they sure did in TZ.
A table without shadows becomes visually confusing, especially a busy table like TZ.
Add shadows, it will make the table look so much better and the lighting stand-out more.

Does the PS3 version lack the shadows as well? It seems unlikely that it would.

It looks a bit better.
Beside shadows, compare the PS3 version of the clock with the iOS/Android version.
All the money it costs to fund this table, and then you'll get graphics like this....

Also notice in the screenshot that I posted there is a nut missing from the upper right corner of the right slingshot.

Jason your suprised THAT didn't halt your approval? Um.... what about actual backwards art on head boards or completely MISSING art like center ramp of CV, I often wonder if the "person" who does the approval process even looks for discrepancies.
