Different Neon Color On The PS3 Vs iOS

[jrolson]

I just noticed the ball & neon color on the PS3 version is Yellow... Compaired to iOS's Red ball & neon...

Makes me wonder if Xbox users will get a different color...

EDIT: The color changes everytime you load the table up.

I hope we get the green neon color since...well, it's Xbox... In the end, I hope FarSight makes the neon color user selectable on all platforms and devices somewhere down the line.

Oh wait, the color changes everytime you load the table up! even better!

How awesome! Now I hope they add this to the iOS version.

I don't think they can because it would require new graphics (my guess). The random colors was always planned for the consoles, with one color on the portables. I was told about this before CV was released (I just kept my mouth shut), so it's not new code that's doing this.

Thanks Gord, now I know why my question was dodged twice, but I'm looking forward to enjoying this feature on the Xbox 360 nontheless.

Maybe I should do the same with information I acquire...

What a neat idea. Can someone post a pic or two.

Has there been a change to CV regarding the neon light and menagerie ball color? I had read that the color of each changes every time you start TPA. But so far all I've seen is yellow and I have started the game several times.

You have to quit the table then reload it again to change the color. Sometimes you have to do it more than once.

I don't think I've left the table and then returned to it later in the same session. Typically once I stop playing any table I don't return to it during the same session. I'll give that a try and see if it works. Thanks.

So far colors spotted are purple (my favorite) , pink, red, aqua blue, green , yellow, and black neon (which is a glitch with orange )

The color of the neons are the color of CIRCUS on the table but I haven't seen orange or black? purple,blue,green,yellow,pink,red C I R C U S 6 letters 6 colors. PINKS my favorite because it lights up the table all around more then red,green,yellow,purple,blue.

As I said it was some kind of weird graphic glitch , maybe it was red , but the neon tube loaded as black , but flashed red /orange

PS3 version or vita? Isnt the vita buggier? Im asking I dont know.

 

[Sinistar]

Vita has no colored neon variable , it's just red , I was hoping that was temporary but reading PIN WIZ's post I guess that the way it is on all "mobile' devices .

Any posts you read about Vita being "unplayable" due to bugs are strictly opinions, i find it quite enjoyable and verry playable .

Couldn't the neon colour change randomly with every new game & have different colours for each player (if more than 1)

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Why? Thats not realistic. Maybe if it were a tube of LEDs but you still have the matching color managerie balls. The LED filled tube sounds kinda awsome for owners of a REAL table instead of NEON bulbs.

The real table obviously doesn't do such a thing. I suppose code could be added to the rendering engine to make that happen, but I don't know if it'd be worth the development and testing time, when we've got so many bugs to squash, new tables to release, and new features to implement.

The random or being able to choose your color in the options would be easy to implement for them and a welcome addition to the game. A definite must that should be worked on for the next table release.

 

[Matt McIrvin]

On PS3 and XBox, the neon/menagerie ball color already randomizes every time you enter the table from the selection menu. Changing it much more often than that (especially for different players in a multiplayer game would, it seems to me, work against verisimilitude; after all, the color on the real table didn't change. The purpose is to give you a taste of the available real-life tables (and look pretty). A table menu option would be nice, though.

A definite must.

For all the claims of people saying a certain feature is a "definite must", this one rather takes the cake.

No, it really REALLY isn't.
