[QUOTE="Metalzoic, post: 241223, member: 607"] Since you bought Star Trek and Ripley's I grabbed Starship Troopers. It's one of my favorite tables anyway. Only played one game on each table so far. I agree that MSF played well and ran smooth. The scale is pretty good and it looked pretty decent (the room you play in is cool) although the resolution and lighting really suffers. That's the tradeoff of using a phone screen that has to double the image, but the immersion is pretty damn cool. Still a bit rough though. The rendering and shadows had a couple issues keeping up with rapid head movement, the plunger doesn't move, the restart button is so far down that to select it you need to practically tuck your chin into your chest. It really needs a controller as without one both flippers always flip at the same time (and the 3rd flipper can't be triggered at all). Starship Troopers played almost as well, but did have instances of ball skip or slowdown, but it looked better in 3D with the figures on the table. Overall not as smooth, but still fun. The table physics were also different feeling than on the DX11 version, but maybe that's normal for mobile. Also interesting that the other tables shown in the lobby are all already in TPA: Harley Davidson, Ripleys, Phantom of the Opera, Last Action Hero... and one other I can't remember. No new tables, although there was a Ghostbusters poster on one wall. [/QUOTE]
