    Multiple FX Pinball announcements today, plus first looks!

    Zen has been releasing tables for Apple Arcade. That’s all they have been doing. No announcement of future plans that I am aware of.

    Pinball FX / FX3 on the Steam Deck discussion

    Try it now. They have made a complete change to how cabinet mode works, so perhaps it will work for you now. You have to go to your player profile and activate from there. Not sure of the details from that point. All I know is it’s changed per Zen.

    Guess the next Williams Table

    Well…I was very very wrong. It’s Swords of Fury! And now we have next month’s table to guess. The hint for us is that we will look “alive” when we see it.

    Guess the next Williams Table

    They will announce for sure in two days (Thursday) on The Pinball Show! From all I have seen I think it’s Congo too. I don’t know that I have ever played or even seen this table IRL before, so that would be interesting.

    Definitely an improvement. Especially on Theater of Magic which I thought was horrible before.

    Pinball FX (4) is EPIC Exclusive and Unreal Engine

    I doubt the Unreal 5 engine gives better physics, but the benefit (to Zen, not you or I) in switching was not having to maintain both the pinball AND the engine code. Now they don’t have to and can spend their development time on pinball instead of splitting their resources while the engine is...

    Guess the next Williams Table

    Zen missed some deadlines for Pinball FX itself (understandable with a new engine along with an unforeseeable pandemic), but they have been pretty good about sticking to the release schedule of tables recently. The do need to iron some issues out, but that’s why it’s in more of an early access...

    Guess the next Williams Table

    Okay...let me clear this up as much as I can: MAY: 1. Whitewater 2. Roadshow 3. “Other selected Williams Tables” whatever that means. I assume it’s other old FX3 tables like Circus Voltaire for example. 4. A brand new-to-Zen Williams Pinball table. JUNE: Is another Williams table...

    Guess the next Williams Table

    My guesses in order are: 1. Pinbot 2. F-14 Tomcat 3. Cactus Canyon 4. Flash 5. Jungle Lord Don’t know why...just have feelings on those ones.

    Guess the next Williams Table

    So, first off it was interesting that they had an episode of The Pinball Show this week, as that is totally off schedule which is usually right at the end of the month, and only a few weeks after the last episode they had. I can only assume this was some sort of damage control since much of it...

    I haven’t seen any flipper lag or overheating with Pinball Party. But it is a heck of a resource hog space wise. The app is absolutely huge. And there are still a few bugs but mostly minor. When it launched it was horrible with crashing tables and menus that you could get in but not out of. It...

    Multiple FX Pinball announcements today, plus first looks!

    Indeed. I pay only $5 a month for Apple Arcade and get not only a lot of Zen’s tables but also access to over 200 other games. So $15 for just Zen by itself is way out of whack compared to that.

    Just an FYI... Zen will be updating us with pricing and release info tomorrow on the March edition of The Pinball Show! So more news is about to drop!

    It might be cartoonish, since you know...it’s based on a CARTOON, but I assure you that the Snoopy table is challenging. Quite challenging actually.

    Multiple FX Pinball announcements today, plus first looks!

    No they don’t. The Garfield table is pretty good. Snoopy one not quite as good but the animations are really nice and it is super challenging. The Pinball Party is fun, and How to Train Your Dragon is good as well. Adventure Land is okay. I surprisingly liked the Trolls table too. But yeah, some...

    Multiple FX Pinball announcements today, plus first looks!

    The big advantage is that not only will the graphics be better, but by not having to develop and maintain their own proprietary engine, they can devote time and resources to just the tables themselves which should help speed things up a little. There have been quite a few new tables released...

    unique iPad pinball Machine

    “but the "constant audio track" is nothing but a continuous hum.” Yes. That’s what they were capable of back then. A continuous modulation synth wave. And it was groundbreaking at the time. Fully digitized music was quite a ways off at that point.

    unique iPad pinball Machine

    Right. Things have to be put into context. Is Flash as good as many modern pinball games? No. But in it’s era it was groundbreaking and like The Adams Family of it’s day. It was insanely popular.
