You can actually adjust the volume of the mechanical sounds to your liking in the options menu.

Of course not. Nobody gets his music anymore.

In the beta initially, hitting the broadside at the rear of the table was near impossible in Arcade mode. We asked Zen to help a bit on that one, and now I feel you can dial the shot in and hit it without it just being the gimme it is in Zen mode or especially in TPA. As for that static sound...

What, nobody comments about the ability to turn on and off 'family mode'? For those wondering how to, just go into options, select the interface tab, scroll down. There you can also turn on and off the 'action cam', the match DMD screen, and more. And for those wondering, yes Fish Tales is...

They are definitely working on a mobile version for iOS and Android. Still no release date, but I'd guess first half of 2019.

I'd love nothing more than for FarSight to prove me wrong. They just need to act fast, because as we pointed out on Twitter, George Gomez (Chief Creative Officer, Designer) and Brian Eddy (Designer) from Stern were in Budapest less than 2 weeks ago, visiting the Budapest Pinball Museum. Odds of...

All the tables released prior to FX3 would benefit the most from Deep's physics change, and many of those already got a slight tweak between FX2 and FX3. Zen is now well aware that they have a whole untapped market out there who would buy the old tables if new physics are applied, plus it would...

And see, I love the look of the plastics! If you go into table view and look, you can see how the light adjusts through the transparency, sometimes with a rainbow like shimmer. It looks how brand new, clear plastic should. Being used to seeing yellowed or scratched or heat warped plastic, I saw...

Not hurting sales as far as Zen is concerned, because it sold better than they were hoping for. Essentially they are selling to 2 audiences; the Zen crowd that never played TPA (shockingly their numbers are many), and the TPA crowd who already owns many of these. Hitting the big titles already...

Whoa! Chewing gum fun facts :D I had no idea that's where the name comes from, and I live in SoCal. And yes, if FarSight leaned into pre DMD stuff and really knocked it out the park with some classic Gottlieb and Stern tables, they could reinvent what they are going for with "conserving pinball".

Well one thing to keep in mind is that SPA was a project FarSight was contracted for, as opposed to being an in-house self produced project like TPA. As those two were launch tables, Stern might have eaten the cost. Then comes AC/DC and it’s back on FarSight to make it happen. Oculus stepped in...

Nope

We have reported ourselves that Stern has some sort of digital license written in, and that’s gone back 2 years at least. Nobody knows exactly how that affects FarSight though especially since we’ve never gotten official confirmation from Stern or FarSight. More to the point, has it been put to...

No, you're right in that constructive criticism is needed. Maybe I'm having one of 'those' mornings :D I know they are working on the flipper physics purely because we've mentioned things in the beta that essentially have gotten the response of "it's in the works, just not yet". Me and my...

HBO is a subsidiary of Warner Bros, and from everything I've heard they are too pricey for FarSight to license from. I wouldn't put the chances at zero, but it's very slim.

I can't wait to see what Zen comes up with for System 11 and older titles. Unfortunately I think we'll have to wait a bit longer as I'm fairly certain they're going to be doing only DMD for a while.

Technically what ColorDMD is selling is a new display. That display has the information within it to interpret the ROM code being sent to it, and then changes the color from orange to the full RGB spectrum. They are not selling code, they are selling displays. So yes, if a company were to...

This is the main topic in our latest BlahCade Pinball Podcast, and there's hardly any 'new' Stern tables FarSight will even be able to do when looking at how they've done things in the past. Between licenses that are off the table due to Zen already having it locked up (Deadpool, Guardians, Star...

So if you walked up to a new pinball machine, do you throw a hissy because the 3x5 instruction card on the apron is lacking? Zen's instructions are at least a little more informative than that, but no they aren't filled with every possible scoring scenario like done in TPA. I'll tell you what...

They are indeed working on improving the flipper physics. Unlike FarSight, Zen won't release a new iteration of something until they feel it is spot on. Considering they've released all of 1 table pack, it's amazing how little slack people are willing to cut them. They are still reacting to user...
