So, in addition to ray-tracing and 4K resolution, FX was supposed to bring revised arcade physics which was more realistic, i.e., 1. slower and more varied with Williams tables 2. faster overall for zen originals Do you find arcade physics more realistic in FX? I find FX3 to be extremely...

Where is the complete list of Williams tables in FX? The company makes it such a PITA to find such a basic list. As far as Swords, underwhelming, better than nothing.

Zen has missed every date they've given themselves along with every extension of original dates for release. When they've "delivered" they're merely buggy copies of old, previously released tables. They do have a handful of new tables but no one can seem to figure out if they are coded with...

FX just looks bad right now. The tables are super dark (at least the Williams tables) and the rendering of the pinball itself in particular is just a bad joke. Physics on zen original and licensed tables is all over the map. Crow Continuum says devs are so good at rendering "fake lighting" that...

It seems like we've got some gaming industry insiders on this forum. To put you on the spot, do you think it's possible for zen to have a polished version of FX for console by this summer? This is speculation on my part, but I'd put the odds at 50/50 or maybe even lower if we're talking about...

A fairly small point but I wish they'd done a better job of rendering the pinball itself. The FX3 pinball was bright and shiny like an actual pinball, and you could easily see the ball spin, however exaggerated. In FX, the pinball is dull, matte, and could be mistaken for a mini grey hockey...

I've been watching vids of FX game play looking for evidence of differences in the new arcade physics in both zen and Williams titles. It's been very difficult noticing significant differences which might be a good thing. The ball does seem to move a little faster in zen tables and doesn't seem...

The problem with pre-FX is that game physics is either too fast or too slow. With zen physics, game play is slow, predictable and often and sleep inducing, quite frankly, until you get to multi ball. With arcade/williams physics, game play is unrealistically fast and far more difficult than...

For those who have bought tables, how does Williams/pro/arcade physics in FX compare to FX3?

The nerds of reddit wanna take their concerns to Congress lol: ://www.reddit.com/r/PinballFX3/comments/tthedg/oy_we_need_legislation/

90% of all reports indicate that FX is nothing more than a beta. The UI is a wreck, the game is so poorly optimized even the highest end gaming systems can't keep up, zen hasn't even proofread text within the game? 1th place?!? At this stage it should be free to download and play for at least a...

It will take zen at least a year to work out the kinks in FX and that's being very optimistic. As a reference point, take a look at pinball party. The first iteration was unplayable and it took them 6 months to patch the original. Unfortunately, there are still significant problems, including...

I wouldn't characterize this launch as a disaster, but it does seem riddled with problems at every turn. The concerns and criticisms about pricing are shared on every platform I've seen: YouTube, reddit, steam, etc. Also, the technical issues seem serious. Players on higher end systems are...

A side by side comparison of FX vs FX3. I too think of it as a small but nice upgrade in visuals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoCcx2jiTEY

Someone on steam mentioned an important fact: even if zen ticks off 99 or even 100% of their potential customer base, as long as some significant minority, whether it's 3, 5, or 7%, buys in, zen will still make a lot of money. I am quite certain that the buy-in percentage will be relatively...

In one of the Uber-long complaint threads, a Redditor mentions that seemingly all of the game studios are charging more and more and engaging in "anti-consumer" practices. The underlying subtext no one seems to be mentioning is how addicted gamers are to these video games. The only solution for...

I'm obviously a customer and therefore immediately sympathetic but you can only cry "the sky is falling" so many times before your credibility becomes suspect. 1. the sub-title is clearly wrong: you don't "have to" repurchase their tables 2. additionally, you don't "have to" repurchase ALL of...

Another bizarre assumption: what is compelling much less FORCING zen's customer base to buy ALL of their 100 tables?!? I have all of the Williams tables on mobile and Mac desktop but only a handful of zen originals, mainly due to having a chance to play them on Apple Arcade. I have no interest...

My understanding is that zen hired a lot of new developers to get this launch out as soon as possible. Talented developers don't come cheap either to hire or retain. I'm still baffled by those people who want all of these tables for free AGAIN. It requires a lot of time and effort to improve...

Zen's customers were asking for discounts in lieu of games porting over. This seems to be a way of offering discounts not only to previous customers but to new customers as well. The more you spend, the steeper the discount. This is not the exact equivalent of offering bigger discounts to...
