    Multiple FX Pinball announcements today, plus first looks!

    You don't need to have your eyes checked. Arcade1Up is Android-based, it isn't FX3. Arcade / Classic / Simulation makes sense. You ae proposing the following: Arcade = Pro Physics with Power Ups Classic = Pro Physics w/o Power Ups Simulation = Pro Physics w/o Power Ups and with WMS FX3 style...

    S2E2 isn't what you think it is.

    Multiple FX Pinball announcements today, plus first looks!

    Regarding the Williams tables in Pinball FX. The physics are somewhere in-between the 'standard' Zen physics and the Classic (Arcade) physics from FX3 Williams tables. Tables from Vol 1 - 3, like Medieval Madness and Attack from Mars, feel very similar (albeit slower) to the Classic Arcade (not...

    Multiple FX Pinball announcements today, plus first looks!

    If only I could pick stocks as well as I "predicted" what Zen was going to do with Pinball FX. To those wondering about physics, the new stuff isn't exactly just a rebranded Williams Physics. All the physics have been ported directly from FX3 to UE, but the new "Pro Physics" are tweaked...

    Just 1 question

    Each creator will tune the physics. However, there is a fairly standard set of script based physics routines for various objects that are starting points. After you have downloaded and played a few tables, you will find that specific authors tune tables a specific way. You can also adjust and...

    Just 1 question

    This was expected. Zen has stated that there will be no new tables until the new Pinball FX platform is released later this year (Q3/Q4). TPA was great when it initially came out, but Free alternatives finally surpassed TPA's poor physics modeling, and the long list of bugs in TPA just kept...

    Star Wars Pinball VR

    This is completely false. Zen has been using Unreal Engine for all of their non-pinball projects for years. The switch to Unreal Engine for Star Wars VR and Pinball FX was made well before the Embracer Group entered the picture. I'm not sure why you would post what you have when this information...

    Williams' Collection Volume 7 guesses

    No, Zen hasn't confirmed anything regarding any future Williams tables or packs. All we have had are a couple of statements "...one is a Holy Grail..." and "...tables that take much longer to make..." made by Mel in various interviews. Many believe the Holy Grail is possibly Indiana Jones: The...

    BlahCade #220 Is Their Newest Interview With Mel

    I imagine the game will be similar to FX3 when it comes to packaging format. Free table(s) + DLC but with added Pinball Royale that may use a monthly pass. Since nothing is carrying over from the previous FX, they will need lots of brand new content to get people to want to be early adopters...

    BlahCade #220 Is Their Newest Interview With Mel

    The 11 new tables Mel mentioned are tables that are being built from the ground up. So they will be completely new to the Zen franchise. Two of these are the two new Star Wars tables that are included in Star Wars VR. These 11 new tables (along with some remasters) will be in the upcoming...

    BlahCade #220 Is Their Newest Interview With Mel

    Zen has stated that All tables released during the exclusivity window will be available on Steam when that period ends. So... Let's say, Pinball FX releases in August 2021 and then over the next 12 months Zen releases the remastered FX3 tables and maybe a bunch of new Originals and a pack or...

    Zaccaria Deluxe Tables

    The physics calculations and graphics rendering run on separate clocks. This has been an issue with the Zaccaria engine from the beginning and there will always be issues with perceived skipped rendered frames regardless of monitor refresh rates as the physics engine outpaces the graphics...

    BlahCade #220 Is Their Newest Interview With Mel

    Good interview, though I would like to see you guys tackle Mel on nuance and context more. He has a knack for non-committal marketing-speak, and I was actually surprised to hear him give a definitive "yes" to them patching in the Vol.4 WMS physics into the Vol.1-3 tables. However, he did also...

    Zaccaria Deluxe Tables

    They do have cabinet support but it is currently broken like much of the game. Magic Pixel has a long history of fixing one thing and breaking two in the process. It is fairly inexpensive, but if you are coming over from Zen or Arcooda, you will likely be disappointed. Vpinball shutting down...
