IGN PS4 and PC review of TPA

[Sumez]

Anyway, Gottlieb is german, so as long as you don't say "gottlibe" or something, I'm not too worried

Also, check out the PSNation video from today, the lighting contrast is much better: http://www.twitch.tv/psnation/b/481274212

EDIT: Hm looks like the wireforms might even have a bit of shine to them after all.

Has flipper physics gotten better? I see the ball not so buncing on TOM. Ball getting shiny when receiving light is looking very nice. I'd re-buy all tables if I could have the same graphics and improved flipper physics on the iPad Air

I could'a sworn I've always heard people (non-German-speaking American people, I suppose) pronounce it "Gottleeb."

I'm still completely unable to tell that the guy in the video isn't in fact saying "gottleeb"

The first PS4 review is in!

According to IGN it's AMAZING!

"The PC version of Pinball Arcade looks good, but the PS4 looks downright
stunning with nearly photo-realistic detail and flawless frame rate. The ball
physics, flipper strength, and even plunger mechanics are exactly how you’d
remember them from the arcades."

From my experience playing the PS4 version the physics all around have been improved substantially.

There's already a good discussion going on this.

It seems the display bug has been ported over...heh (maybe it will display on 240hz tvs?)

Good news about the IGN review.

Quite honestly though, I'm extremely disappointed by how this is looking. The lighting looks very poor, flat and undefined, in my opinion. Rather than sharp points of light, I see large blurry areas of what look like omni lights dotted around. Reflections are almost completely absent and the ball itself looks dull, lacking in shine and in shade most of the time. Textures and shaders look almost identical to current versions, with no improvement to transparent plastics.

I am pleased with how portrait mode is progressing on the PC, but now I really fear for the graphic quality we'll see in the future.

It looks amazing in person. Don't judge it off tiny compressed crap 30 fps video.

The most stark difference is in reflections, lighting, it looks REALLY good and is the best you can get until these improvements come to PC.

Textures are supposedly better but not in the build I played.

Mobile isn't even up to last generation console standards graphically, but you expect PS4/PC level on an iPad :-?

Maybe on iPad Air 5.

I am waiting for super iPad alpha air Jordan turbo 2 championship hyper tablet edition.
