It's devloped by Farsight and published by "Alliance Digital Media" which just has this site. This was what I was concerned about: quote:Retail Disc Version (PS4) – The PS4 version of The Pinball Arcade has been released on disc in the North American region and will be released in early 2014 in the European region. The disc version currently features 22 tables which includes the four core tables plus all the tables from Season One. FarSight plans to release a patch for the disc based version of The Pinball Arcade in 2014 which will allow for purchase of add-on content and should contain bug fixes and the addition of a few requested options. ...which makes it sound like the PS4 Bluray version is a separate unique version, compared to the PS4 download version. I might be able to get it for $28, which is why I'm asking. ---- While searching for this info, Farsight said on The Pinball Arcade Facebook page that there will be a 50% off sale on Season 1 pass on PSN in North America this Tuesday, and apparently the base tables will be free!?  I hope they meant the PS4 tables. That would be $15 if it was.

Tony Phillips posted:Just finished off the wizard goals tonight - final and toughest (in my opinion anyway) being the drop target bonus. Seemed that starting dine time during a multiball would help, but I kept accidentally collecting the Dine Time jackpot. Ended up completing the goal with a single ball instead. Back down to needing 2 wizard goals - may do some big dumb effort post about the hardest ones at some point even if I know I'm the only one that gives a crap about them. I did not need to hear that. I got the drop-target bonus by accident while I was still working on the standard goals, and now that I've finished the standards I can't get it again.  Tony Phillips posted:Lastly - I assume I'm not the only one to notice that the physics when you send the ball into the cup seem a bit inconsistent? I've hit that ramp as hard as you can only to have the ball fall out at 750k. More often than not, it gets to 1M. When it manages the final two spins and gets to 2.5M, the drat ball seems to pick up speed. At least it sure seems like it to me. This also seems to be what's happening to me. Although I haven't had one quite as long-lasting as yours.

I wouldn't say it was a terribly hard wizard goal - just the hardest for the table. I honestly didn't spend that much time specifically trying for it. Just seemed a pain as I would often accidentally collect the jackpot by hitting the cellar hole while frantically slapping the ball around, or I'd take my time but be unable to hit the left targets on purpose. When I finally got it, I had accidentally hit two of the left targets immediately after the dine time started and just decided to go for it. I guess just wait until it serves it up on a platter (HA HA HA DINER HUMOR) and then nab it.

http://www.twitch.tv/papatvpinball The PAPA Pinball World Championships are going on right now. They're playing the Wizard of Oz table. Really cool to see it in action. E: As soon as I link it they switch over to TZ.

Looks like Austin hero/villain COL's ticket hung in there to make the A finals as #24, and I think two other Austin guys made finals in B division. This is why it is hard to get high scores at Pinballz.

Watching those streams makes me wish there was more pinball in my area. At least the Southern Fried Gameroom Expo did well enough to return next year, so I have that to look forward to.

Check out the http://www.ifpapinball.com/calendar/ website to see if there's tournaments in your area. I attended one a month ago and it was a super chill event in a dude's house and I got to play an afternoon of pinball for a fairly reasonable price. Then I found out there's a tournament next week that's a 5 minute drive from my house and I'm pretty hype about it.

Pinball is no longer illegal in Oakland, CA! And RadioShack is holding a tournament on an Iron Man machine to celebrate. In other news, apparently pinball was until recently illegal in Oakland, CA.

You guys were right about the scoring in Bride of Pin-bot. I got 2.15 billion points the other day, but I think I'm really only proud of the .15 part. (The game lasted a long time, and I was pretty lucky in avoiding the straight-for-the-outlane bounces.) Unrelated bitching: Last night, I immediately went for the super jackpot in Attack From Mars, because that's what always stops me from ruling the universe. I got it! And when my last ball drained, I was still trying to get Total Annihilation. (Which normally happens without even trying.)

The free pack is only for the North American region. Sorry Europe. Direct links on PSN webstore: PS4 version PS3 version / another version if first version doesn't work Vita version Farsight also said this quote:Today we are proud to announce that we are running the Summer Sale for mobile devices and Steam until September 2nd! As of now, the iOS pack of those tables is still priced.

Looks like the general consensus on the Pinball Arcade forums is that we're getting Bram Stoker's Dracula for the next table. This is the clue for the next table. Apparently, they found: quote:Physician with a mission refers to Val Helsing's mission to kill Dracula. I've never played Dracula, but I've heard great things about it.

Great fun to play a real one. If you like TPA tables like Fish Tales, or T2, or other games that have one really difficult main task that you want to hammer on all day for monster scores, you'll surely like Dracula.

Dracula is supposedly a difficult table in real life- what this means for the TPA version, who knows.

Thanks for pointing out that season one was on sale over on steam. I decided to dive in and grab the regular pack despite owning most of the tables already on the Vita version. Now I can truly appreciate how good Twilight Zone looks!

You can try out the tables for free, so I would do that before buying anything to make sure everything runs fine. I liked playing the trial versions on my TF700, but not "buy the tables again" liked it.

Dracula is tough IRL. It's a super tight and quick table, but it's really only got...3 shots you need to master. Other than that the ruleset is pretty simple. It's all about stacking multiball for ridiculously high points. Just don't watch the PAPA tutorial, you'll feel like a chump every time you play it.

If you (a) Own an XBONE, and (b) like playing virtual pinball, and (c) enjoy the Pinball FX series, and (d) want a free copy of The Walking Dead for Pinball FX2 right now (aka before its actually released tomorrow), then you should (e) be the first person to PM me your interest. If you feel that this massive and boundless generosity on my part needs to be reciprocated in praise and gifts, I will graciously accept a working&pristine gift copy of the Dungeons & Dragons pinball table. Mailing instructions to follow. I would actually buy one of these if it wasn't like four mortgage payments Sputnik fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Aug 25, 2014 |

That table is really tough for people new to pinball. I certainly struggled with it. There's a shared in/out-lane that a player has to activate to not drain. The scoops are active only while you press them and for a maximum of maybe 2-3 seconds. There's another fantasy style pinball table that has you fighting monsters in the top left playfield. I forget the name but I prefer that one over DnD anyday.
