    Stern Pinball Arcade first impressions

    You're just so good that is your pre-first ball score. The leaderboards are wonky, at best. Let me bask in my greatness for a while, even if it isn't legitimate. My mother would be so proud. :p

    Stern Pinball Arcade first impressions

    Thanks warh0g, the BK video is the one that finally allowed me to fully understand the table rules and all the mechanics involved. This was great because I like to play fast with few ball captures on any table I play, and I was looking for a formula that allows me to play the entire table and...

    The music helps, but it is not critical to mastering the game. I still hear it, just as background noise that I can block out if a good song is playing on my audio system. I think our top scores are about the same. I found that the song mode has a distinct color that I need to shoot for, and...

    Stern Pinball Arcade first impressions

    I'm glad Star Trek crashes randomly, if only in an indirect way, as it is probably the only reason I have taken the time to try and understand how to play AC/DC. These two games are so drastically different with regards to the intricacies of their rule sheets. At first I felt that AC/DC was...

    We are paying for the licensing more than anything else. These tables are more like recent releases of movies where the prices are typically higher.

    AC/DC Strategy, Tips, and Tricks

    If anyone is interested in just reading the rule sheet, there is a great .pdf file available in the following thread at the pinside forum. (34 pages!) https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-acdc-rule-sheet

    Does SPA work in portrait mode at all?

    For me, I have a 32" 2560x1440 screen, and the game starts at 1920x1080 (landscape) or 1080x1920 (portrait). Initially I didn't realize this as I had the launch utility setup correctly and it was in full screen, but since the ratio is identical, I just thought the graphics were a lacking in...

    I purchased SPA on the PS4, but I almost exclusively play games on my PC. I have a 32" 2560x1440 Samsung monitor, so I was looking forward to the Steam version. I played in portrait mode (1440x2560) and recorded a game with Fraps at 60 FPS half size. I had the SPA launch utility at maximum...

    Dr. Who: Master Of Time Is Now Available!

    Captured the Dr. Who franchise perfectly. For me, that means it is boring. I'm decidedly in that camp that just doesn't get it. As others have stated, the table only needs a few animated dolls fighting on the sides of the tables and you'd think you were playing a Zen game. Well, that and...

    Does anyone know when Stern Pinball Arcade will finally be released for Steam?

    Still not too excited. Going to watch some football tonight. Hopefully the delay will get sorted out by tomorrow.

    Stern Pinball Arcade Release Dates

    Is tonight still a possibility or did something get missed and we have to wait for Valve to approve overnight?

    Christmas tournament is underway

    I don't see an option for this with the Steam/PC version either, only a total score. To get the most information, you have to use the official website. I typically check my performance at the official website, and make a note of the score I need to achieve for a specific table before staring...

    Christmas tournament is underway

    You can play as many games as you can on any table until the deadline expires for the tournament. The highest score is kept for each table.

    Christmas tournament is underway

    You can keep track of all the scores across all platforms and tiers on the official site. There is the usual delay in posting new scores, but it should provide all of the information you need. Currently your score would be 18th place in the Gold PSN tournament. High score is 2,875,718,650...

    Will seasons 1 and 2 get higher resolution textures?

    Awesome news! Thanks for the update. Just knowing it is something in the works gives me hope. :cool:

    Will seasons 1 and 2 get higher resolution textures?

    I absolutely agree. I think it's too much work. It would be nice to know if it was something that was being considered, especially with the consoles releasing 4K-supported versions. It is bad enough for me on a 32" 1440p monitor, so I can only imagine how it must look on a >60" 4K monitor...

    Does anyone know when Stern Pinball Arcade will finally be released for Steam?

    This month? That is great news, though I've learned not to get too excited about FarSight release schedule announcements.

    Table Pack #59 Speculation

    At least give us Bad Cats this season.

    The cars on the rails for a real Mustang table are optional 1/64 scale models that can be installed. So there could be different colors and models depending on the preference of the owner. It would be kinda neat to be able to select your own or have them randomly generated like the CV neon...

    Head to Head Public Beta

    Here is another video. Again, it is not possible for me to tell if the game is ended or if the other player just took a break when the opponent's score stops increasing. In this match, I had selected 5-Minute game, and then selected find a match. Some weirdness occurred at the start of the...
