Did you try only the Tesla table ?


If you did some players figure it has wonky physics , but the table has a "magnetic field" +as part of the table game play that can make the balls seemingly go sideways.

If not, maybe the Williams Collection due on PSN soon will satisfy you.

You can only play El Dorado in the demo. I agree that the physics didn't real right. For example, I've never seen a pinball spin when hit by a flipper. It almost seems like they went overboard with the effects.

Did anyone hear if the patch for "the rest of the world" fixed the glitch that prevented high scores from saving?

I have a question. I set Tesla to normal difficulty. I think the default difficulty setting is on very easy, but I wanted to play on a little bit harder mode, so I changed difficulty to normal. Am I just making it harder on myself to get higher scores that are posted on the boards? That is, does the game keep up with who is playing on what difficulty setting? Because if it doesn't, I think I might go back to default for a while to help me get higher scores.

The first new table will be out by the end of this month and it's going to be a Street Fighter table. Pretty cool.

Zsolt from ZEN Studios here! In case you missed yesterday's memo, I'm here to tell you there's a new table coming for ZEN Pinball. We've teamed up with Capcom and you guessed it, we're bringing the one and only Street Fighter franchise as the first expansion table for the newly released PSN exclusive ZEN Pinball. As long time Street Fighter fans, we here at ZEN Studios are extremely excited about this collaboration and we can't wait to get this table out the door to all our fans!

To give you a little idea of what makes this table so unique, we've loaded it with all the iconic Street Fighter II characters that revolutionized the fighting genre, from Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Guile to Sagat, Evil Ryu, Vega, Balrog and even M. Bison! The locations, missions, and even the tempo of the game capture the feel and look of the Street Fighter brand, so if you're a fan of the franchise you'll need to check this table out.

Right now we have a tentative release date scheduled for sometime in August 2009, so stay tuned to this blog, or check out the official ZEN Pinball site for more details.

two questions:

1. does the online MP work well in this game?
2. did they ever fix the bug that was preventing high scores from saving?

1. Online MP works really well for me. No lag.

2. My high scores have been saving without issue for at least the past few weeks.

And I love the ability to play music from my HDD while I'm playing.

Has anyone bought the Street Fighter table. Is it good? I've rekindled my love for this game lately and noticed this DLC table. Hadoken

I enjoy it, although I've gotten a lot more mileage out of the Williams Collection lately. The SF II table is not to be mistaken for the actual Street Fighter pinball table that came out in the early 90's, it's totally different.

I wonder if it will feel much different. Less flipper lag, etc..

Just noticed they added 3D! Sweet!

Yeppers, 3D and 26 tables at launch!

I have lag on ZP1 and the new Pinball Arcade, so hoping for improvement on this one!

I'd like to get people with Zen Pinball 2 on my friend list, preferably who also have Vita but my friend list is empty anyway so I don't care. My name is Macello. I have the classic pack and Ninja Gaiden Sigma (so basically, all of the PSN exclusive tables.)

I haven't been following this game, but I saw it was free on the PSN this week and was shocked about that.

Before I download it and spend all that money (wink.gif) how many tables come with this game? I don't think I'll be buying any of the DLC, but if it has a few tables alone in the base game, I'll definitely get this.

Oh, and in one of the previous posts it says it's a free upgrade for those that own the original. I don't have that, but is the 2nd one still free like it's listed in the store?

My understanding is that Zen Pinball 2 is just a free platform (menu system, leaderboards, demos) for those who have the base Zen or Marvel Pinball games.

It's a new platform and while they give you access to your old tables, you have to download fresh copies of everything. Did that last night and it utterly sucked due to PSN's gawdawful packaging system and the frustrating bundling of Vita versions with PS3 versions but once complete it is pretty cool to have all of the Marvel and Zen tables in one spot. They also added an integrated store + demo capability which makes it easy to try out new tables.

I got the Marvel tables to download on the Vita, but the original ZP tables won't show up. IMO, all the downloads on the Vita are painful. This is something Sony needs to address ASAP.

I had no problems. There was a Zen Pinball 2 section under new add-ons in the store and the classic pack was right in the middle.

Just played Tesla on the Vita. Controls are fantastic, no lag at all. Sure isn't easy to see on that tiny screen, though!

I think there is less lag than ZP1. The 3D also looks fantastic. I'd say best implementation of 3D on the PS3 yet.

Just played Tesla on ZP2 for PS3. There is just the slightest lag, MUCH better than ZP1. I scored over 5 mil which put my ranking at 96. Not bad for the first time out. I tried 3D also, it is really pretty, but to me it seemed like it added just the slightest bit more lag.

I could probably score better if I had a good handle on the goals. When it goes into "hurry up" and the dollars start counting down, I think I'm supposed to do the ramps in succession, but haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

Add me, my PSN name is the same as my name here.

Just scored 10 mil on El Dorado. I could have done better, can't wait to spend more time with it.

I have settled on using View 2 for everything. Makes it a bit harder to see what's at the top of the table, but I score better when the table isn't moving around under me. smile.gif

The more I play, the more I'm starting to think that maybe Tesla is the only one with the slight lag. I'm not feeling it in the Marvel tables, and I don't remember feeling the lag on El Dorado or V12.

I think V12 is my least favorite table of all, it just isn't fun to me.
