Normal
I downloaded it yesterday (really hate the PS4 shop still - Nintendo did it so much better) and gave Fishtales a couple of plays, classic and with the animated fisherman and it looks nice and plays pretty well. Not my favourite table so I wasn’t blown away. Main issues I have are the limited number of camera angles, which I recall is a general problem with Zen tables and the action zoom nonsense, though it sounds like they’ll provide an option to disable that. I’m also not a big fan of the interface, but it is better than the FX2 menu. I couldn’t figure out how to do a table tour, but I didn’t spend any time on that. Moving the right stick caused the game to start - which seems pretty weird - so it’s definitely not that! I think that’s one of the best features (if I get it working); always annoyed me that Farsight required a “pro” premium to do something as basic as look at the backglass.The price is definitely right, so double-dipping is a near-certainty; I just need something to spur me to do so like a new table or one of my faves, which none of these four are. Going back to the BlahCade speculation about the menu placement re: licensed tables, I can’t see why they wouldn’t have something like Indiana Jones in both an Indiana Jones column and the Williams column - I saw Getaway in the first column and the Williams one. Hopefully we’ll get to find out.
