![]() Trouble is I know of many, many people who have destroyed games like BSD only to come to mine and play a real one and find it is not so easy as the games on the TPA that play as if they are new. It is also great for learning rules of real games. TPA is far better and closer to real physics, albeit not perfect but you can practice most real world skills on TPA that you simply cannot do on Zen. Also the nudging and tilting on Zen is awful and generally not worth bothering with. ![]() ![]() Stuff like dead bounces are generally impossible whereas you can get away with cradling etc. Zen is great for playing fantasy games but the physics are not the same as real physics, why should they be? You are playing fantasy games so a little play in physics for this is fine by me. I have also had a time where the flippers were still working after a tilt, albeit with bizarre results (HH). I did save the video clip so I will need to double check. I think it was on TOTAN, though I may be wrong. I have had one instance of a ball getting stuck in TPA. But for being free software, it is pretty good. I have had a number of times where I shoot the ball into a ramp or hole and it never returns on several VP tables (the South Park table has an issue on the top right ramp where if you don't hit it hard enough, it gets stuck). The ball just seemed to go to a set point on the playfield when hit with the flipper bat. Hitting the recognizer was also impossibly difficult. The basic shot geometry felt calculated in a way that made it feel fake. Regarding VP, I played a TRON table once where, in order to hit the left ramp, I had to flip the right flipper WAY earlier than I do on an actual TRON machine. I'm more inclined to believe that the PC/PS4/X1 have a more refined engine than the phone and tablet versions. But I've also heard that they all share the same engine. I have heard that the PS4 has a more updated physics engine. Some are not setup very good, while others are much better. I agree that sometimes VP has bad flipper physics, but in my experience, it seems to depend on the tables. They are a bit frantic at times, while the PS4 version actually gives the ball a feeling of inertia. I have TPA on both my PS4 and my phone, and the physics are much different on the phone. One of the two has pretty terrible flipper physics, to the point of being unplayable for me, though. The ability to live/drop catch is the one thing I like about these two over TPA. As for nudging, I honestly have never nudged the ball in a meaningful way in this engine, so I just ignore it.įP/VP are a fun alternative to TPA in terms of playing licensed tables. Splosion Man and V12 anyone?) while others are absolutely fantastic. I haven't decided how I feel about it overall, but it's fun to play. I feel that the nudging is way too forgiving, though. Pros Graphics Great table movement Realistic feel to the tables Cost Additional tables Cons Having to look down can lead to a sore neck which can limit table time.TPA is fun to play licensed tables on my phone. If you have a VR and you are reading this i would recommend that you buy the game and give it a go, the three tables included are fun enough and if like me you enjoy it then buy yourself some more tables and hopefully i will see you on the scoreboard in future. That said once you are on the table you forget about that fact and are focused on beating previous scores and trying to beat the table. ![]() The walking dead pinball table is a great addition to my room but only having 3 tables at a time is quite annoying as if i had a real room like this virtual one there would be a lot more than 3 tables. I like to play nice and close as i think the graphics and the way the tables look are amazing. The graphics are fine and you can change your view once in the game by looking up or down and holding start to recenter the VR. Then when i seen this come out on the PSVR i had to give it a go and i am so glad i did.
