[QUOTE="brakel, post: 122548, member: 416"] My wife picked up the disc for me today. For convenience I'm also going to buy the digital version but if there's one game that I might want to play in 20 years its TPA. So now I have the disc. I'm just going to make a list of my first impressions. Lighting - looks great on some tables like ST:TNG but misses the mark a little on some like Medieval Madness. It's still better than the PS3 but there are bloom areas on MM and an even stranger dark void. The light shows on every table I've tried though are fantastic! Textures - better than those screen shots we first saw. Monster Bash I can read the CD titles better than the PS3 version. There are going to be people who say that it should be even better than it is but at least it is better than the PS3 version. Physics - I need to play more to decide if I think it has changed. Flipper physics seem to be the same. Flipper lag - I couldn't detect any flipper lag. I was looking at the flipper and flipping just when I was seeing the ball start to roll off the end and I was still hitting the ball. The tighter triggers help with a better feel also. I don't think flipper lag will be an issue anymore. Multiplayer/multiple controller - TPA on the PS4 does not support multiple controllers just like on the PS3. I'm a bit disappointed in that. My wife and I played two player tonight and I guess the good news is that it's easier to switch control to the second controller on the PS4. You only keep one controller on. When its the next person's turn they turn on their controller and log in as the same person who started the game (no multi controller support so no per controller login support either) when they choose the same login the PS4 automatically turns the other controller off. Easier than switching with the PS3. I can live with this even though it's still stupid! :D Overall this version looks great and plays better! [/QUOTE]
