We've been asking for the lighting for ALL the tables to be fixed for the longest time and they just ignore it for the most part or do some slight tweaking to the brightness of it and adding sliders to adjust...The main problem is that the sliders don't really work or help that much... What they need to do is just build a whole new version of PBA for PS4 because the one we have now is a Frankenstein version ported from last gen consoles... Heck that should just use the build from Stern PBA because that looks sooooo much better than the regular PBA version on PS4... It also plays much much better as will... The current version of the regular PBA is just horrible, the ball is waaayyy to bouncy, it's like one of those rubber balls you get from a gumball machine... It also moves way to fast ..Compare Ghostbusters on the regular PBA and then play it on Stern PBA and you'll see just how much better it plays on the Stern PBA version and even the Star Trek table plays and looks much better on Stern...Back to the lighting though, the Stern PBA is 100x's better as well, on there you can actually get the table dark versus how dark it gets on regular PBA... I just wish the glow balls was available on the Stern PBA version because the default ball on the has the same issue where it's just too dark....For some reason they don't like to have a shiney steel ball look like a shiney steel ball... It can be done as well, just look at the ball on Zens Pinball FX3...One of the biggest issues is Farsight mainly just cares about and caters to the PC and Mobile versions and the console versions is like aaam afterthought to them... From the look of things, there is only like 1 guy that is working on the PS4 version, which is that Tom guy...There might be a couple of others, but they might also be working on the other consoles possibly... Plus there definitely doesn't seem to be any QA testers because there is always issues after every new patch/updare and most of the time they are obvious issues that are easily caught... If there was a QA team then there's no way those would have gone unnoticed....I would just like to be able to see the table nicely lit, bright, vivid colors, basically how it looks on PC and mobile devices... The really isn't any excuse that the PS4 can't look just as good as those versions... The PS4 is a lot closer to PC coding, so it should be easy to port the PC version instead of using the last gen console port... I could see in the beginning when PBA first came out and they used a port from PS3, but they should have already been building a new version that actually takes advantage of the PS4 hardware and utilize the system much better than it is now...Heck, PBA on my Galaxy S8+ looks waaaaaaaayyyy better than the PS4 version, so that can't sit there and say the PS4 isn't as powerful as mobile devices....If only PBA had the same options as Zaccaria Pinball... The options and lighting effects/ options there is insane from what I've seen....
