[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 9070, member: 558"] It really is dark though, I don't think this is much of an subjective issue, no offense - I always play the game on brightness 5, and when I switch into the OS it's almost blindingly bright. Back to the game again, and it looks like some in-game contrast setting is messed up. I'm not talking about dark table graphics - [I]everything[/I] has very low contrast in the game. Seems something has gone wrong in the porting process. And I just got to play the PSP Williams collection, which is the exact same game, only with the addition of Firepower, Sorcerer and the, well, rather forgetable Jive Time. The framerate is also significantly better with what seems to me like rock solid 60 frames per second, it has a portrait mode (which makes sense with the symetrical form factor of the PSP, not so much with the 3DS) and the whole presentation is better. Not to mention the PSP has 480x272, compared to the 400x240 of the 3DS. (The smart camera on the PSP is really weird, however, zooming in way too late, works much better on the 3DS) I will add, though, that the 3D works really well on this sort of game. I find it even better then on Zen Pinball, where it has a slightly uncomfortable "tunnel" effect, in PHOF it's more subtle and more immersive. I hope TPA 3DS will be a much better port, as I'm still really looking forward to it, mostly for the 3D, which helps me get over things like the low resolution. I just love being able to gaze into the table in 3D from a low angle. And really, the 3DS can look really good if used well (Kid Icarus Uprising or Resident Evil for example). I hope Farsight are not spreading themselves too thin and rush this port - programming 3D into ports doesn't seem to be a trivial task from what I've seen. I still love my 3DS and am certainly willing to pay again for all the tables if it plays well, has good 3D and, most importantly, a solid, smooth framerate. Zen Pinball could do that, so I hope Farsight can do it too! [/QUOTE]
