[darkuni]

Several posts have people asking for pictures of the new tables. Here are a bunch:

I shot some HD video of the new TPA tables (and an old one) - plus a look at all three tables in the Android's War Pinball HD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameprom.warpinball)

(Note: it is uploading as I write this - youTube is super slow right now - so about 20 minutes from post time, the video should be ready ... sorry for the delay).

Whoa! That's a long way to reach for the Magna-Save buttons!

Yeah, they're pretty unusable up there, unfortunately......

Nice pics, man.

And the same can be said for the "Launch Ball" button as well. Really, those buttons need to be re-thought, and moved down a bit.

Have any of us raised formal bugs against that? If not, I'm going to, because it drives me crazy.

I've suggested alternate control schemes for touch devices on this forum, but I have not gone as far to e-mail FarSight if that's what you're asking.

Lots of classic gaming, emulation, etc.

Those MGM tables are a joke.

Those MGM tables are a joke.

In what way?

 

[Matt McIrvin]

Is it my imagination, or is the flipper physics a lot better on CFtBL than on any other table we've seen so far? It's not unnaturally bouncy, at the very least.

 

[Carl Spiby]

The comical flippers for a start.

 

[Matt McIrvin]

Those MGM tables are a joke.

What is "MGM" in this context? I can only think of the movie studio, but that's be Jersey Jack's Wizard of Oz...

edit ah, you're talking about another pinball app?

 

[Carl Spiby]

Second half of the video the OP posted.

"MGM sponsored pinball tables"

Ahhhh...I was thinking CftBL and Monster Bash, and how much better those flippers feel compared to odler tables....and then realised thats Universal, not MGM

 

[darkuni]

Sorry, I didn't have a chance to properly title the video, etc. it all kinda ran together.

The War Pinball HD app isn't horrible - but parts of it are. The flippers .. WTF??? The table layouts, etc. aren't really that bad. The cheesy subject matter kinda works.

I never got the right feeling for the manual magna save on BK anyways, but yeah, the buttons are quite silly.

I wonder why those weren't automatic, the software was probably not capable of recognizing the ball.

And while the Yamaha-renditions of the songs are a bit of a downgrade, the sound effects are really cool. The KISS jingle (0:30) is super smooth And I'm not watching too much of it (I want to keep it fresh!), I already like the humor - the ball save "Keep it cool, Daddy-O!" made me smile. I love lighthearted tables!

And the holographic Creature recreation looks actually quite good!
