Interesting. I didn't play the PC version of the Williams tables for a couple weeks, and then when I went back, the physics seemed much more tuned. That light alloy ball feel swapped for a more steel ball feel and more poppy rubber, closer to the tournament physics. I was just playing on the...

I noticed that they updated the physics for the Arcade mode to be more realistic. Before it was like an enhanced version of their classic physics. Now they are damn spot on imo. I would like a little improvement on the live catch and bang-back physics, but other than that, they are...
This is really nothing more than believers vs skeptics. Neither side has any real clue what the future holds, but all sides hope it will be good for digital pinball.
The hard truth is that gaming development is volatile. Exponentially more so if you're not running one of the top 20 games in...
I think the speculation is not whether or not ZEN knows what they are doing as a business, but whether or not they are so pumped to finally get the license deals away from Farsight's monopoly, that they may be running super high and naked and screaming with excitement? It's obvious they know how...
In AFM on Android, around 2 or 3 times, I have had the ball stick to the tip of the right flipper. The ball comes down towards the last bit of the right flipper, and if my timing if late in dropping the flipper to pass to the left, and the ball reaches the flipper as it drops, the ball rolls out...
I got the game when it first released, and didn't know how the coin system worked, so I used my coins for rewards every time for a while. Not once did I get more coins lol. It was usually just a special affect or a cool ball or set of flippers.
I get the impression, due to Farsight's lack of progress over the past 3 years, people are more clamoring for ZEN to keep taking emulated tables to the next level. If Farsight is going to make any more pinball on their dated TPA game, they need to be significantly less expensive than FX3. If...
Definitely better to just buy. I am usually a grinder, but this f2p setup is impossible with 9 tables. I bought the first two when it released, so it is much easier earning for just 3 tables, but I still haven't unlocked any of them yet. Although I don't play mobile much.
I still find myself playing Atomic Pinball on my phone at least once a week. Their biggest flaw are the flippers, which I wish they would have taken the time to fix before abandoning the game. The flippers react too slow, and are underpowered. I know they were going for an EM sort of feel, but...
The graphics are obviously very PS2 era 3D quality, but the physics are pretty close to ZEN's original physics, and the table play on their free table and a couple others (playground, mud race) are quite fun.
It feels like I am playing a retro digital 3D pinball game from like 2001. It is...
I hope so. There's definitely going to be a bump when you come out with something very new and fresh though. I wouldn't rely on that much. I have faith that if they make licensed originals coincide with their emulation releases, they will continue to thrive.
Again, REcreative development vs creative development. I've coded in 3D modeling, I am pretty savvy of the landscape of application development and its processes. Again, you're assuming superiority based on nothing more than an internet tag name to back you up. Take a nap or something. I'm not...
Incorrect. I did not say I knew what cost them more to build. I said "if".
Coding creativity, yes, but that's within the engineer wheelhouse. Outside of that you're just copying an existing table. You're REcreating, not creating. Good try though.
It seems like you're suggesting that...
Funny, but you are saying the same exact thing I am saying. You are just referring to general "content", while I am referring to creative content, rather than just regurgitated emulations, which are content, yes, but which have very little creativity involved aside from the extra graphics.
And...
I see you saying that type of thing a lot to people in this forum, condescending, assuming some pseudo position of rank. I think it's a cheap copout...but carry on.
Building the code for first few tables is definitely arduous, but once you have the stem of the builds, code-wise, you can reuse...
