Zen Pinball 2 for PS3 and Vita is not coming out this month. :( Zen Studios last announced that the game would come out in around July.

A release date is still unknown, but the game is going through the submission process right now.

A local nickel arcade had a working Theater of Magic machine along with a few other pinball machines. They were between 5 to 15 cents each. I always played them a few times whenever I went there. I stopped going there around 3 years ago.

All this talk about pinball games made me want to play them again. Unfortunately, the nickel arcade moved to a city 60 miles away a few years ago, and the building turned into a storage place for a hospital. :smith:

The latest PlayStation Blogcast at around 13 min 10 sec said that the PS4 version of The Pinball Arcade is coming out this Tuesday, "hopefully everything lines up and we are on track". Uh oh, we've heard that before :ohdear:. I don't know if it's also coming out this Wednesday in the European region.

The only thing mentioned about price is that "If you own Season 1 [on PS3/Vita] in its entirety, whether you bought it all at once or piecemeal, you can get 50% off of Season 1 on PS4". There is no cross-buy offer between the PS4 version and PS3/Vita versions, which means you won't get free PS4 tables from owning the PS3/Vita or vice-versa.

PS4 version of Zen Pinball 2 is also coming out next week in both regions. The Sorcerer's Lair will be bundled with it for free. Only these tables will be available for for PS4 version, all free if you own the same PS3/Vita version:
- Earth Defense $2.49
- Epic Quest $2.49
- Marvel Pinball $9.99
- Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles $9.99
- Marvel's Doctor Strange $2.99 (coming out next week)
- Paranormal $2.49
- Plants vs. Zombies Pinball $2.99
- Star Wars Pinball $9.99
- Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force $9.99

There exists a PS4 Bluray version of The Pinball Arcade. :stare: I wasn't expecting a physical release of that. The FB post says it should be available at most stores soon. It's also listed on Amazon for $40, but Amazon either sold out of them or didn't release it yet.

From the same PS Blog article, from comments made by the Farsight CM:

Season Two will not be cross-buy. We offered a PS4 discount for people that owned the entire Season One Pack on PS3, but I do not think we will be doing the same for season Two.

Wow, no discount for PS4 season 2 tables. :mad:

And unless they changed things for the PS4 (don't know since I'm still on a PS3), since it's an Update, you'll have to let it be the only thing going for however long it takes to download. No courtesy of setting it to download in the background and play something else. Oh no, you're leaving it there for the whole download and installation process. Hope you have other plans for while it updates that don't involve your PS4.

Again, I could be wrong and they changed this from the PS3 -> PS4, or it'll auto download through PS+.

Other games can be played while a game update is downloaded on a PS4, thank goodness. It's also possible to play the game that needs the update, but it won't connect online.

I can confirm that the trials for the new PS4 tables won't work until the store is updated. :sigh: After selecting one of the new tables, the game tries to access the listing for the table on PSN to sell before giving the option of playing the trial. Since the table isn't up, a PSN error about it being unavailable pops up and the game bumps you back to the table selection list.

Store update is usually around 11am to 1pm Pacific.

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!? :eek: I hope they meant the PS4 tables. That would be $15 if it was.

Meanwhile, the mystery about when the season 2 tables for the PS4 version of The Pinball Arcade will be released was kind of solved:

quote:

XBox One Update
We are in the process of certification currently, so you can expect to see the XBox One version out in the near future! Those who chose XBox One as their platform will be notified when their table is unlocked.

PS4 Update
We will be launching Season Two shortly after the XBox One is released. This is because of a condition Microsoft requested for exclusive content. We must launch Season Two on XBox One before we can launch on PS4. Everyone will be notified when their tables have been unlocked!
Oh :xbone: with that.

Also this, though I don't know if this is old news or not:

quote:

XBox 360 Update

Microsoft has finally allowed us to get a new publisher! We are currently going through the certification process. We will be notifying people that chose 360 as their platform when their tables are unlocked.

As always we greatly appreciate all of your support! We couldn't do this without our amazing fans!

Cross-post from the PS Store thread:

For The Pinball Arcade PS4 version, both Season 3 Pack and Season 4 Season Pass are now available, along with the pro bundles and pro upgrade packs.
