Unofficial Vita Patch Changelog

[Kratos3]

Since FS wasn't able to keep track of all the bugs, performance issues, etc.(there were only a couple), I thought we could try keeping our own log. If nothing else, FS employees will get a kick out of the things we think they changed. Feel free to list things and I'll edit my orginal post to reflect it. I will check the thread often to add and edit.

I don't want this to turn into a bug/artwork/performance issue reporting thread. Just things we think have improved or changed on the Vita version. Let's start alphabetically.

All Tables

• Animated rollovers.
• Improved ball reflection.
• Improved detail and resolution.
• Improved contrast and color saturation.

Attack From Mars

• Slightly darker overall lighting scheme that enhances the look of the lights on the playfield.
• Smoother frame rate.
• No orbit collision issues that caused the ball to head STDM.
• Pop bumpers are much more active.

Big Shot

• Darker room lighting scheme that enhances the look of the table lighting.

[PoSTedUP]

Big Shot:

much improved lighting (slightly darker like you said)

Anything anyone wants to refute or add?

 

[Kratos3]

Well that's all of the patched tables so far.

For the most part, all tables have seen increased detail, improved contrast and color, animated rollovers, ball reflection, and most tables have noticeable improvements to the lighting effects.

There are still some annoying bugs and glitches, but overall every table plays pretty well.
