I never understood people capatilizing each first letter of a word. Sounds like an incredible chore to do, and it reads like Im listening to a navigational system: In. 100. Metres. Take. A. Left. turn

I guess I just do that because I feel like it

Cool, more tables, starting to get lots of variety now!

 

[Jan Duin]

Great news, looking forward to your first impressions of both tables.

 

[Daniel Osborne]

Monster bash looks and feels fantastic. Not a gorgar fan though.
Can't wait for the next two packs.
I've been desperately trying to finish theatre, should carry on til new tables have leaderboards and achievements mended.

UPDATE DLC Tables Pack #3 featuring Monster Bash and Gorgar is AVAILABLE NOW! on the Xbox 360.

Great for you Xbox guys. I don't think the Ps3 will see it this week according to the updated page. But I wont hold it against you guys since you had to wait so long to get DLC #1 and #2. Looks like we will get DLC #3 and #4 by the end of the month. Was looking forward to DLC #3 this week. I just can't get into MM and CV until they teak the physics. The physics in that Monster Bash looks so much better. Also hoping to fill some time in with new tables till GW2 comes out and Zen pinball 2.

ahhhhhh, what a tease ! It's going to be at least another 7 hours till I can play it... good to know though...

The physics in MB are the best yet! If they could just improve the flipper interaction, it will take the mantle from Big Race USA and Fantastic Journey, and become the new gold standard.
BTW, what is GW2?

UPDATE DLC Tables Pack #3 for the Xbox 360 is temporarily on hold...stay tuned!

Sept. 4th for PS3 huh? Gee, isn't that the same day Zen Pinball 2 comes out?

Well played FarSight, well played. Even though it's Sony that determined that date!

 

[spoonman]

So much for "by the end of August" for the PS3 bug fixes, trophies, and new tables.

I guess it's PS3 player's turn to get screwed for a change. Oh well..

I'm still not playing the last 4 tables until they add the trophies and this is becoming a very long wait for that. I wish they could just release the bug fix, but I heard it's costly to release a fix on it's
own and they would rather save money and bundle it. It makes sense though I suppose.

Yep ZP2 is a free application where you import all Marvel and Zen tables into one playform and there is also a new table based on a PopCap title released on the same day. My guess Plants Vs Zombies but who knows it could be Peggle. Not sure how they will make a table based on PvZ.

So 3 new tables 2 from Farsight and 1 from Zen. Pinball heaven but it's 3 weeks away.

 

[Pinhead]

I think PvZ is probably more popular, but Peggle or Zuma would be better a fit with pinball mechanics. Hopefully, it's an amalgam of PopCap IPs.

Wait...what? Is #4 on 360 being pushed back?

edit: Oh. Read a bug report about unlimited jackpots. Is that the reason it was pulled?

 

[starck]

Unfortunately, that's when school starts back up for me, so no pinball heaven then. Bad timing.

 

[spoonman]

I hate to be the person who says it, but damn.. they need more time with QA before releasing these tables. Even if it means more delays, I'd rather have game breaking bugs
squashed before they are released to the public.

Monster Bash has a bug that will give you unlimited millions. I'm not going to give details here, but they are already public.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Did we expect somthing different from what seems to be normal.....BUGS BUGS BUGS! New table new bugs new bugs new delays....EXPECT DLC #4 and #5 to be full of them. A new stern table, and a first system 11 ROM emulation. Its going to be a SWARM!

I like to just think of it as a beta group we payed to be a part of. I'd cry murder if bugs weren't being fixed, but they slowly are. In the meantime, I get to play pinball.
