[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 21465, member: 134"] You guys see Zen Pinball 2 is finally coming out for PS3/Vita on Sept. 4? Now I don't want this to become a Zen vs TPA thread. What I want to know is what do you guys think of what they're offering and do we think (hope?) that FarSight might one day be able to implement the same kind of thing? First, go watch the trailer at zenpinball.com (it's not heresy to direct anyone over there is it?). It's the first video to pop up. Now then, here's what stood out to me... 1. I like that grid of tables! Once our TPA collection starts getting larger, I'm not gonna be happy to have to be scrolling through tables. With Zen and Marvel under one roof, it's 26 tables or something like that. This is a good call. 2. Split screen pinball playing against a friend over the internet (I assume) for head to head battles? C'mon! How can you not like that? 3. Stereoscopic 3D pinball. I don't have a 3D TV yet, but you can bet once I do, I'm gonna want me some pinball with depth. 4. Cross play with PS3/Vita. FarSight beat them to the punch on that one, glad it's a trend that is continuing all the same. 5. New physics and graphics. Hmmm, have to see how noticeable this gets. All I'm hoping for is they correct what I am clearly in the minority for...HD TVs that only do 1080i, not 720p. Zen for me gets downscaled to 480 AND squishes the screen into letterbox. The only PS3 game I've ever played that does that. Boooooooo. So? I know I'm excited for FarSight just to implement a free roaming camera and maybe some sort of stat list, but if Zen can add all of this (is it still going to be a free update?), I'm gonna be expecting, clamoring, salivating over the prospect that TPA might be able to do any or all of the above. But if I had to only pick one, dear lord do I want split screen pinball!! [/QUOTE]
