Re: Zen Pinball (PSN)

I might have to defriend Cub after he decked my top Boba Fett score by about 50mil.

That was a tough one to beat my friend! I'm sure it won't last long

For any of you who have Moon Knight ( one of my Favorite Marvel Characters) on the PS3, can you play it on PS4? And if you can does it look better?

I love the sorcerers lair table the best.

Re: Zen Pinball (PSN)

The only shot I have trouble knocking down on a consistent basis on the Spidey table is that J. Jonah side ramp. Everything else is essentially mapped out.

You know its bad when you're not playing the game and still hear the damn music.

That one I seemed to get immediately each time. I think that was a huge contribution to my 300M+ score.

Re: Zen Pinball (PSN)

Just destroyed Spiderman on the PS4, to the tune of 225 Million. Never got close to that on PS3/Vita - my best there was 65 Mil. I got the table's wizard mode and I think 3 extra balls, which were the main contributors. I even lost probably over 5 Mil in bonus when I tilted on my second regular ball trying to save one that would have been kicked back anyway. Oops. It's also the 56th best overall score on that table.

I'm up and streaming on the PS4 on my twitch channel (in my sig), if you're bored enough to watch someone play pinball.

Re: Zen Pinball (PSN)

You play with ball trail and arcade effects, eh? Have you ever tried turning them off before? At least you're using the right camera view.

It's funny to see how differently you play from me, though. I clench my teeth for how long you wait before you hit the ball. I feel like it would always go straight down if I let it go that long haha.

Yeah, I have. It's not really distracting for me, plus there's some special effects on the balls that indicate you're supposed to aim somewhere specific at times (Goblin's pumpkin balls for example). I'm not sure if those show up with effects turned off. And yeah, I love view 4 with that zoom out when the ball is at the back of the table.

As for the flipping, that's just years and years of pinball - I've got a pretty good idea of where the ball is going to bounce off a dead flipper so I don't have to make too many desperation flips. Gotta take as much randomness out of the game as you can, and that goes double for multiball.

That's interesting. I wouldn't really say I have desperation flips, but rather I flip it up before the ball hits so I cradle it. I just don't trust myself with those ricochets, especially since the only pinball I've played over the years has been this game (and yet I still play the same as I do the day I got it haha).

I find all of that other stuff pretty distracting I guess, plus I'm trying to make it "as simulation as possible." I was just wondering if you didn't like it when it was off, is all. And yes, that view is amazing.

Re: Zen Pinball (PSN)

Which view is considered the best?

I play on camera 2 locked, but open to change if other camera angles are more advantageous.

The camera both me and Blzer use is 4 because we like its movement. When the ball is down near the flippers it's a zoomed-in close view, but as the ball gets shot to the back of the table the camera pans out to show the entire table. It's good because you never lose sight of the flippers and can clearly see the ball coming down towards them.

I can also play with any of the other static cameras, but 4 is the only one with movement that I can use.

Re: Zen Pinball (PSN)

I'm terrible at this on the PS4. Absolutely terrible.

The 3D on it is gorgeous though. Never really used the 3D feature much on my TV before (only to watch The Hobbit) but I refuse to play this without it, it is that well done.

Woot. On my (very limited) friends list I now have the high score on The Avengers table. It's only 31.3 million and I have no idea how I did it.
