Safe Cracker was specifically designed to be a ball drain bonanza. I pay the 5 tickets needed to not play it in challenges because it’s brutal. Hurricane is rough because with base physics, the Cyclone ramp spam technique doesn’t work without nudge (which we’ve established is not friendly on...

Yep, I just live with it.

I’ve yet to even come close to mastering that shot either, but I can nail the right orbit and lock balls like a boss. AFM I have pretty well dialed in, but Junk Yard’s left ramps are impossible to me. Thing is, same situation on the real table. We all got kinda used to the vacuum ramps of TPA...

TPA was like eating a nice top sirloin steak, when all other digital pinball was hamburger at best. But then Zen comes along and is filet mignon. Both are cuts of steak, which is great, and until I tasted the filet I didn’t know any better, but now I do.

Even in real life, I rarely nudge, which makes it amusing to me to hear you say it renders the tables unplayable. Does it make playing them like a top seeded pro impossible? That I’ll buy, but I do just fine in online tournaments without nudging, and I have no excuses not to as I play with a...

This right here is utter bullsh*t. I have interviewed and chatted with a few members of the Zen team, and they are extremely passionate about pinball. Deep, a table designer and lead on perfecting the physics for Williams, has shown nothing but commitment to pinball. He has used high speed...

You are certainly welcome to your opinion, and that is exactly what this forum is for. Good or bad, so long as the opinions made are done so with respect, discussions can be had. So, let me discuss by addressing your points... 1. You dislike freemium, I get it. I personally dislike it when you...

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification

I wouldn't jump to the "gotta be an Android build" conclusion just yet. The haptic feedback and tilt mechanics would have to be specially programmed in, and correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all the Star Wars tables on mobile still the FX2 versions? I think only the Williams tables, Son of...

And I saw a video the other day from a recent toy show in February where the 1up guy said they’ll announce what the 3rd machine will be themed on in 90 days. Once you start partnering up with other vendors, everyone has to be aligned and in sync. Makes dropping hints and leaking info much...

Hmmmm, Jurassic Park (3 tables), Universal Pack (3 tables), and Monster Pack (2 tables). Wonder what the other 2 Universal tables would be then? Same question goes for what 10 Star Wars tables are in? I’d guess original trilogy, Han Solo, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Masters of the Force...

No, it’s just a long wait. Disappointing would be finding out they are switching to being a top down 2D pinball game after such a long gap! ;)

It's not FarSight creating it, it's the same studio that made Pinball Cadet. They are using FarSight's game engine (heavily modified) and then FS is publishing it. FarSight has been busy instead with PBA Bowling.

Monster Bash is another one of those that can play wildly different machine to machine. A lot depends on the rubbers and kick out strength of the scoop. If your location had the tilt set to ultra sensitive, they might have had other features set up to make the table different from what Zen...

No, not having that issue. And yes, people post but there isn't that much to complain about!

Yep, some really good info. Star Wars will only be 10 tables, there’s currently 19 in the collection. Sounds like we will be getting a Rise of Skywalker table that eventually will allow for an even split if 10 between two cabs! And mystery pinball pack announced in 90 days? Very interesting...

Ha! This is civil debate. It's also good to repeat this sort of information to those like gnadenlos who are new to the forum and maybe not up to speed on the long history of digital pinball as discussed in this forum. You on the other hand Pete, it's time for some bare knuckles!

No, I didn't. The words you failed to include in your quote were "In that first season". Creature and Monster Bash were in that first season, and we got it in Zen's first too. The two Elvira tables were also, but Zen hasn't done Scared Stiff probably because of how much they'd have to censor the...

Hell, I’d be happy playing an FX3 version of Super League

I don't think that's how licensing works. Once you pay the initial fee (actors, images, IP, sounds) which indeed can be large, the renewal fee would be significantly less. Essentially you are agreeing on terms of the contract, seeing if any revenue sharing needs to be adjusted, etc. It allows...
