I'll leave it to PiN WiZ to start an official "2.10 discussion and feedback" thread, but did anyone else notice any changes/improvements? It'd be nice if FS started to release changelogs, but they don't, so we'll just have to .

So far it seems like they've FINALLY put in the lag fix for 1080P. Although TOTAN still feels a little "late"

Also the "bump" on AFM has been drastically improved. Not completely gone, but FAR less of a crap shoot now.

Sadly out of about 4 games on FP I had 2 glitches.
One the upper ball lock was hit but the ball popped out and gave me a second ball in the plunger and once I lost my one on the table the game ended.
That one doesn't bother me too much...
Second was in a 3 ball multi One of my balls went in the left lock and i drained my other two and the game just sat there. Attendant wouldn't help and the game never ended to post my high score.

Changelogs are a no go as nothing gets significantly changed.

The lag seems a little better but it feels like I've been bug testing again PS3 stuff just like Visual Pinball on PC . I will say that Dr Dude is worth a download if/when you have friends around. Firepower seems to lack something for me........ too similar to another table?

 

[PiN WiZ]

Both Dr. Dude and Firepower look and play great on the PS3...great job FarSight. My only complaint so far is the wasted space towards the top of the screen on Dr. Dude. The back end of the table should be as close to the top of the screen as possible (like all the rest of the tables) to get the best view possible in landscape.

They both look decent ... but FP has been a lil glitchy on me so far. Also wish there was a better view for the Dr. D skillshot. The playing camera angles are better than any of the plunger angles to see the light at the top.

Are FP's pop bumpers lame?

 

[smooverr]

Yep

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

So the last 2 DLC's have lame pop bumpers...I wonder how long it will take to fix this. Not buying this round knowing this. You want my money FS FIX AFM and GENIE and now FIREPOWER.

I don't have a problem with these pop bumpers. A lot of bumpers on real tables are fairly weak and insensitive.

I feel kinda bad that this is the first pack that I'm gonna skip.
Neither table grabs my interest.

I'm on the fence about the next one too but, the Whitewater table looks like it's chock full of the rampy goodness that I enjoy.

The lighting for both tables came out pretty good, although as PW and grashopper noted, the camera views on Dr. Dude could be better: the table cameras waste space on the big black area below the backglass, and neither of the two angled plunger cams actually give a view of the ball. I also noticed that have-to-tilt-to-get-game-to-end bug already reported on other platforms if you end a game of Firepower with a ball locked after having already had one multiball is still present here.

Heresy! Firepower is an awesome table! : P Was my favorite in Williams Collection, really glad we finally have it here with TPA's vastly improved physics.

I'll pass until they fix the bumpers. They were way too weak on iOS until the last patch. Plus all the other FP bugs are surely there. It really needs to be ROM emulated.

 

[smbhax]

Again, I don't see a problem with the bumpers--they propel the ball up into the rollovers and around the table just fine. They don't absolutely rocket the ball around, perhaps, but a lot of older games had bumpers that were quite gentle by modern standards.

Dr. Dude I can understand, but how can you skip Firepower? I am sad now.

Well, it's been established on the mobile platforms (before the last update) that the bumpers were not any where close to the way a real Firepower machine is supposed to be (which is why Farsight updated FP and AFM...they're much better now).

Here's a real Firepower to compare:

I love Firepower, but it's just not the same with weak bumpers. Combine that with the other bugs, and I'm going to have to pass. Looking forward to the PC release though, since it will be a breeze for Farsight to patch.

HUGE difference

 

[grashopper]

That upper kickout is way more powerful in that video too. Hit the F both times in the video and in the game it seems to like R. It had speed but it shoots out and takes a odd looking turn down R.
