Zen has the polish, no two ways around it. And I've gotta say, with FX3 and the matchup or tournament options, I've been playing it way more than ever before. However, I agree that the main advantage TPA has is with both nostalgia and truly tested pins. Nothing beats seeing what an actual ball...

I mostly hated how the ball felt coming off the flipper. The angles just seemed all wrong.

Okee dokee, here's the top 5 from this last week's tourney on Thor: 1. shutyertrap 228 mil 2. NimbleLee 180 mil 3. Crepello55012 99 mil 4. mik_el74 73 mil 5. cc178 69 mil Now that I have seen Thor: Ragnarok, turns out World War Hulk ties in just as nicely, so that'll be...

Black Knight is running real ROMs now. Got put in a couple of months back. Firepower is still lacking. Bride of Pinbot just got the once over, removing the baked in lighting and automatic camera moves, as well as a tuning update. Scared Stiff supposedly got the same done to it this month, but...

Sound is really important for the table too. I had my headphones with me the first time I played, and it really sells the theme as well as guides you to what to shoot for. The next time I ran across the machine, no headphones and the volume was way too low. Still fun, but I was lost and the...

I really like Dialed In, and the value of your MM was probably gonna go down as more of the reproductions hit the market.

If I actually visited the Zen forums I'd be all over suggesting more tournament parameters. The more variations that can be added, the better.

Oh yeah, forgot that one hiccup!

I did have a thought, and wondering how receptive people would be to it... Should I run multiple tourneys the same week, and then whoever posts the best total score wins? Just a thought.

Well hot damn, that Walking Dead survival tourney was a bear! I had one game where everything seemed to go right and the rest were a mess. I need to stop posting good scores so early :D Here's the top 5 for this past week: NimbleLee 73 mil Voo 66.3 mil Xanija 66.1 mil shutyertrap...

I agree that they should pull the plug on PS3 in the manner you are speaking, same as for 360 and Wii U. I think they should release full seasons only for PS4 and Xbox One after all the kinks have been worked out on Steam. I personally don't enjoy playing on a mobile device because flipping with...

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that to my comment. Unless the licensing agreement FarSight has with WMS, Gottlieb, and Stern says for any and all digital versions of the tables, they'd need to seek a new agreement for TPA 2. On top of that, they'd need new agreements for all tables with IP licenses...

I was just reading that the new Assassin's Creed game is also running insane CPU usage. People are blaming it on the DRM though, while Ubisoft is just saying it's a demanding game. Biggest issue people are having though is that the minimum specs requirement listed has no way of actually running...

Allow me to apply logic to the idea of either TPA 2 or a "Gold Collection". First off, to get the kind of quality being asked for, FarSight would have to completely rewrite their engine to get the physics people are asking for. Ideally they'd get the ROM codes so they would not have to emulate...

Computer pinball: MS Pinball Arcade. I was so excited when I saw it, and it looked good, but it played terribly. I suffered with it for a few weeks, thought to myself there has got to be something better, and most importantly something with Williams tables. Eventually I discovered Visual...

I think you are onto something, with them running the Stern code unaltered. When I was trying to look up my CPU usage even without the game running, it'd spike to 50% quite frequently and drop right back down as it ran Windows Update checks and other background things. This has been a complaint...

Really? Know what I did this entire beta? Tried to get the damn table to even run on my computer. For the record, it happened once. After the release, I was informed that FarSight has finally been able to replicate the problem I was having. Not fixed yet, but replicated. And like Naildriver...

It's not gonna be Banzai Run. That whole vertical playfield is the issue, one that FarSight is nowhere near cracking. On top of that, there are other tables way higher on their own "wish list". I have no insider knowledge about what is the next table, but I'm fairly confident on what is isn't...

Are you using Windows 10? I just upgraded to Creator's version and have come across a host of web posts regarding it's high CPU usage. That being said, GB still has a significant jump all its own.

Okay, so another week down! Here's top five for Fear Itself tourney: Johni3w6 @ 250 million shutyertrap @ 205 million ms505 @ 204 million NimbleLee @ 151 million da5id5 @ 141 million John totally sniped me as when I checked scores last night all was well...
