Yep, though Family Guy might be an issue with there already being a digital pinball from Zen with that license. But if Stern helped them put out TSPP and LoTR, I think those are the two 'holy grail' tables people have most wanted from Stern for years and years.

Yep, I would say keep the standard version of physics regular single player, and then for classic single player (where you can’t use bonus upgrades) use these new physics. On a table like Aliens, where the physics are closer to the WMS physics anyway, it’d be subtle. On something like Rome or...

Because then they have to account for every possible angle anyone could possibly use in case some sort of display problem crops up.

PS4 controller plugged into PC works perfect with Pinball FX3 with no 3rd party software, other than no rumble (something I have the boys at Zen looking into). It does not work that way for FX2 or TPA, where indeed you need 3rd party software. Out of curiosity, did you try DS4 Windows? That's...

Let’s let them worry about what can and can’t be done, we’ll just get to tell them to make it happen!

And I've had the exact opposite problem with TPA. The only way to view the table using a controller is straight over the top and you can move up and down the field but not angle on it. At one time it worked as it should, but after an update one time, no dice. The most important thing Zen has...

I've heard them say they purposely didn't put a release date on it yet as they want to get this to where most are happy first, not patch later.

It’s not an edit to the ROMs, it an actual setting Williams did on a few titles. That being said, I will absolutely raise a stink about it when we talk to Zen’s Mel Kirk this weekend for the podcast. There are many solutions for handling this and keeping their ESRB rating, we just need them to...

Zen has always had table exploration, and it’s in game and better angles! On a controller, just hold the square (PS4) / X (Xbox) button and then navigate with analogue stick. It puts TPA’s to shame being able to do it in the fly, plus not being charged extra for something you should always have...

FYI...tourney will be live once I redownload the game and get out of the beta. Takes a little while!

Alright, we're gonna go with the first suggestion for this week's tourney, by playing Doctor Strange. 1 ball, rewind wizard, and only 5 attempts. Brutal!

That’s just terrible. We never even had those in the beta to comment on. And I know I asked too.

Colors are so much better on Android! Plus there's no seem running across the middle. Zooming in on your photo, it's interesting how the text on the raised plastics is crisp while the playfield graphics and text are a little fuzzy. I get why you'd do that effect, except we're talking an inch of...

In one of the interviews Mel did this past week, he mentioned that most of these guys in Budapest grew up under Soviet rule, didn't get a chance to experience most of these machines when young, and so it's incredibly exciting for them to do so now. I imagine it'd kind of be like a car designer...

From what it seems, I don’t think Scientific is in the picture other than to collect royalties. So long as their cut doesn’t change, there’d be no issue. I guess this is a question I can ask Mel next week.

Yeah, they've got 40 people dedicated to pinball alone. The focus apparently is going to be mostly on the WMS tables, but there'll be 2 new originals at the start of 2019, and they are not going to let their licenses sit idle either. What I am hoping for is that when they do start doing the 3rd...

I’m sure the VR users will appreciate it cuz that was really my only gripe. It was very immersive, loved being able to look wherever.

PS4 and consoles won't get demo tables due to the cost of submissions and lead times according to an interview I heard with Mel. Zen is keenly aware of our brand of hard core here, and they know they have to nail it with us if they want to get a high adoption rate. The problem is many people...

That’s because the actual podcast isn’t posted yet. The video is the raw, uncut version of things. We post it as soon as we finish recording. You know, for those of you that don’t want to wait! Sometimes we hold the video, like when we have guests that need the safety net of stuff being edited...

That interview also confirms that the speculation Jared and I do in our latest podcast (coming soon, or watch it now on BlahCade's YouTube channel) in quite a few ways. Damn we're good!
