Cactus Canyon and Central park are Available NOW!! PSN NA

[pinball2010]

I just turned my PS3 on and loaded pinball arcade and there were two new tables in the New Tables on the main menu. Cactus Canyon and Central Park are available for purchase right now. Downloading them right now.

Well, how are they?

Oh so we can do new threads instead of sticking it in the patch thread, that's probably better.

They both look pretty good; Central Park in particular is very sharp, and the monkey beneath the scoring reels even animates. : )

Thanks for the pics. CP looks good. Not sure why CC's playfield is so bright in the middle. Looks a bit odd, but could be worse. Might be the camera, too.

Wasn't expecting that today. Isn't it early?

It's a little bright in the middle, and kind of contrasty again the very dark gun barrels.

I know I wasnt either. I just turned it on and the new tables section was lit so I just went there and there they were. They are amazing tables.

Definitely worth buying; MUCH better than the Dr. Dude / Firepower release.

Note that I'm not a big fan of Dr. Dude anyway, and I'm disappointed in the Firepower bugs (lousy bumpers, multiball issues, et. al.).

But Cactus Canyon played well, I'm able to make consistent ramp shots much better than on iOS. There's a sometimes-hook SDTM when the ball leaves the bumpers (or does a bumper bypass from the right orbit shot) that I don't remember on iOS, but the sometimes-hook SDTM from the Bart kickout that sometimes catches me off guard on iOS hasn't shown up on PS3. The table does look as if the whole thing's lit from beneath, but otherwise looks pretty good.

Central Park looks and plays great! Took me one game to get standard goals, another game to get all Wizard goals (except the 1000 points in one ball). Also, I started getting free balls on my second ball whereas I think my best on iOS was ball four, and I ran through all the available extra balls before the game ended, which I have yet to do on iOS. Put simply, the PS3's superior nudge ability makes CP quite a bit more fun than iOS (although I like it just fine on iOS).

Thanks for sharing the pictures and the gameplay experiences. I will be buying this pack tonight.

Central Park is broken beyond belief. Once you reach the special its EB after EB after EB

Nice upgrade in lighting for CC over the iOS version. Flashers look perty Becoming one of my favourite tables!

And CP is INFINITELY better with proper nudging. Great pack.

WoW! thats a suprise...that they came out so soon not the bugs. Im almost tempted to buy it but I think I'll wait for a more detailed report of the bugs.

...for up to 15 EB's per game, that is. It's what you do with those EB's that count.

Yeah I've been getting infinite balls on Central Park too. I hope they can fix this, since the table is so much fun.

Cactus Canyon is very fun too. I was surprised by the low production number (903) seeing that it was such a high quality game, but the reason for the low production number was because they started making the new Pinball 2000 pins, so they stopped making the old ones.

Are those the same flippers on CP from STTNG?

Nothing to fix. Once you light the special (red light), you can earn up to 15 extra balls quite easily.

Really? So it plays like that? Kind of weird getting so much EB's in one game, I really thought it was a bug.

 

[Kolchak357]

I thought so too when the iOS version hit. But it is correct. Seems like you score 750 or 4000 on Central Park. Strange scoring, but addictive to play. I always seem to play at least a few games.

It's really really fun! Thanks for the info pal. Now i'm off to play some more!!

After I lost my last ball, it said I completed all Standard goals in CC (I didn't) so I lost the chance to get the trophy for it. I don't really care about trophies so it doesn't bother me much, but you guys may.

P.S. The same thing happened in Vita too.
