    Has FarSight mentioned if older tables will get the Xenon flipper physics?

    Just wondering if FarSight has mentioned somewhere something about whether the pre-Xenon tables on PS4 will get the newer flipper physics that allow for live catches and so forth--which as far as I can tell are currently only on Xenon, Red & Ted's, and Safe Cracker. I heard that on Android they...

    Zaccaria Pinball - Circus (1977) Bugs & Feedback

    The "clean" glass effect is subtle on most tables, not obscuring the view of the table. On Circus, though, the backglass logo reflects very strongly, making it hard to see the upper part of the table:

    Pinball Arcade Players link broken (domain expired)

    The "Pinball Arcade Players" link in the forum's top menu bar goes to a GoDaddy "Welcome to pinballarcadeplayers.com > get this domain" page, with a notice at the top saying "NOTICE: This domain name expired on 11/17/2014 and is pending renewal or deletion. Renew It Now!" So uh I guess it's...

    Request Show current table name in player's PSN status

    It looks to me like other games--Assassin's Creed, for instance--can show the level of the game the player is currently playing in their PSN status. I don't know if it's possible, but it would sure be cool if TPA could show the name of the table the player is currently playing in their PSN...

    Bug Ball lost if TILT instead of plunge

    PS4 download version 1.00, 1080p If you spin the left analog stick clockwise rapidly instead of launching the ball, the ball auto-launches, but usually flies off the wireframe ramp and is lost, leaving you stuck with "TILT" on the screen. You can usually get the ball back by calling the...

    Request Realistic flipper physics

    Now that we have fairly consistent lighting, the only major thing the game lacks as a true pinball simulation--aside, perhaps, from ball spin, which Bobby King has at least mentioned in passing as something they have looked / will look into (then again he mentions a lot of things in passing, so...

    Request Fix the plunger so it doesn't miss the ball if pulled back early

    This was a problem since the beginning of the PS3 version, and continues on the PS4: if you pull the plunger back before the ball has settled in the plunger lane, once the ball has settled and you release the plunger, it somehow fails to strike the ball--nothing happens, and you have to plunge...

    Bug Partial ramp left shot triggers Highwire ball lock without actually locking ball

    Partial left ramp shot triggers Highwire ball lock without actually locking ball Version: PS4 download, 1.00 With the ball lock active, shoot the ball partway up the left ramp. If the ball only makes it about 2/3rds of the way up before falling back down, the table acts as though it has locked...

    pinballarcadefans streaming : )

    The PS4's video streaming is a great feature: a great way to find out about new games, or to learn new ways to play games by watching others (or just to enjoy watching and hearing other people doing crazy stuff ; ). When you stream your PS4 gameplay, you can enter a 50-character title for the...

    Attack from Mars: side plastics look odd when they flash

    The side plastics on Attack from Mars--I mean the longish plastic piece elevated above the playfield in the middle of either side, with a plastic Martian and Martian artwork on top--look odd when they flash, which occurs during specific events such as locking a ball. At these times, they appear...

    Galactic Girl (Dominique, 2010)

    According to Pinball News, the coming out party for Seattle artist Dominique Johns' custom pinball table, Galactic Girl, (aka "Dominique's Galactic Girl") took place at the Tiger Lounge in Seattle's Georgetown district in early 2010. The last update on Johns' silverAge silverBall pinball...

    What else are you looking forward to on PS4?

    So what else besides TPA, if anything, are you looking forward to on the PS4? ... I guess I'm hoping the PS4 version of Netflix will be upgraded over the PS3 version to have a volume control. ; )

    The Pinball Arcade table ratings

    Update 3/24/18: Since new table releases appear to have ended, I've closed voting for new users. Those with existing votes can still modify them. ~~~~~~ I've made an IPDB/Pinside-style 10-point user rating scheme for the tables in The Pinball Arcade: The Pinball Arcade table ratings survey...

    Bug Random non-TPA friend names replacing others in leaderboard

    Saw this reported multiple times on Facebook yesterday and just ran into it today: checking my Friends leaderboards for a few tables, I noticed a random, non-TPA playing PSN friends' name replacing the name of one of the players--actually I think it was my own. So yeah another weird apparently...

    PS4 pricing and discount thread

    No prices have been announced for the PS4 version and presumed DLC yet, except that there will be some form of discount for owners of the PS3 (and Vita?) version. I did think it worth noting at this point though something they said yesterday on their Facebook page which I hadn't heard them put...

    A pre-emptive strike against flipper lag!

    I just wanted to put out here a firm thread in which we say a firm "NO!" to flipper lag in the pinball game. Let's not have any delay in flipper response at all this time around, please. : ) FarSight's earlier "Pinball Hall of Fame" games on both PS2 and later PS3 had no perceptible flipper...
