Pinball FX 2 - Free Paranormal table from 10/26 to 11/2!!!

I am a big Star Wars fan and Empire is by far my favorite movie of all time so I was super excited when Zen announced the Star Wars license.

Each table is great in its own way. My favorite is the Empire table even though I think its the hardest table of the grouping. I like how easy it is to start an scene from the film and all the interactive things that pop in the center of the table during some of the scenes. I love scene two with the AT-AT but its very hard to complete. I have only finished it once. Right now I'm trying to master each scene. So far I can handle Scene one and Scene four. I can usually finish those if I start them. Overall great art design on the table and sound effects, except for the voice acting.

The Clones Wars Table is probably my third favorite and not because I don't like, but I love Empire and Boba Fett a little more. I think this table is the easiest for big scores and is most forgiving. There are a lot of ramps everywhere and its easy to start missions. I like the upper section of the table with the clone trooper training but I think its pretty easy to complete. Whats very cool is when the gunship comes on screen and you have to load troops (the ball into the ship via a ramp) and then hit ramps to make the gunship move to avoid enemy fire. I think the sound effects and voice acting for this table is perfect. I love that they even got the annoying narrator from the clone wars series.

Finally the Boba Fett Table, at first I didn't really like it that much but after some time playing it I think its awesome. The bounty missions are really easy to start up and I love you can choose to work for Vader or Jabba. There is also an ammo element to the table that lets you collect missiles for you rocket pack and shoot them at the table cause it to shake without tilting the table. The whip ball save is also very cool and easy to get. There are four ramps on the table that are all easy to hit. I really like that the table design has been split between Empire and Jedi.

Overall I think these tables are excellent editions to Pinball FX and I can't wait to see the rest of them.
I hope they do more character specific tables and ones based off the films.

Add me as a friend if you want to compare scores and add to your Wizard totals. I have all the tables except for Ms Splosion Man, Mars, Marvel Civil War and the New Classic Pack.

I plan to get the classic pack and the Ms Splosion table soon.
I have Mars and Civil War on PS3/Vita and I not a big fan of Civil War.
 
[quote name='ShirtSizeXXXLXT']That is really weird seeing how Zen was talking about how every sound effect and voice sample were at their dispose whenever they needed them.[/QUOTE]

a number of sources have confirmed it. google is your friend.

"The Empire Strikes Back uses a mix of audio and voice work pulled from the film when possible, but resorts to Lucasfilm-approved soundalikes when necessary."

LucasArts gave Zen full access to the original score, dialogue, and likenesses from the series, but the voice clips are done by sound-alikes who are hit-and-miss.

The Indiana Jones Ride at Disneyland is the same deal. Harrison Ford did not want to be involved so they used sound-alikes.
 
[quote name='Viva Las Vegas']Late to the party. I have the Star Wars and Plants vs Zombies pins. What are the best other pins? Feel free to add me for some score comparisons.[/QUOTE]


The Marvel: Avengers Chronicles 4-pack tends to get pretty high review scores. I think it's been on sale a few times for 400 points.
 
PIcked up the Star Wars tables today after waiting forever for them to go on sale. Liking all 3 although I find the Empire scenes hard to complete. I need to read the rules for all of them.

Hopefully the rest of the tables go on sale soon so I can round out my collection.

 
Not much going on here recently, is anyone still playing? ... I was thinking maybe a few of you might have some room on your friend list -- I sorta (REALLY) want that Pinball Wizard robe.... I have all 40 Tables. !0,880 wizard score and 262 Superscore....There hasn't been much activity in the last few months, and I don't want to throw out friend requests without asking! -- I'm known as the 'King of Edmond'...

I still play from time to time. I have the robe, but feel free to friend me and take down my high scores! =)

 
Figured I'd check out the game, oh hey new update gives us access to cloud saves because when I went back into Epic Quest I had an option to start a New Game or Continue Game, (it loaded my previous game data which I thought was pretty cool). Also finally pulled off the Captain America achievement on the Avenger's table, god what a lucky trick. Anyone pick up the new table?

 
Pinball FX2 was announced for Xbox One this week. Would be great if some or all of our purchases carried over, but I doubt it will happen.

 
About a week ago was thinking man I wish the tables I do not own would go on sale then BAM ! They do. Sweet sale. Always looking for other pinball fiends feel free to add me
 
Contemplating the Football table, which team to go for...

Well I have a FCB t-shirt so I might go with the Barcelona table.

I decided to go with F.C. Barcelona table, liked the overall music/visual themes on their table.

LOL, I now have a total of 46/46 tables and can commence my completionist masochism.

Dude, completing that game achievement-wise must be about 10/10 in difficulty. A hard and well deserved 2200GS if you manage to do it. Good luck with that.

I noticed on the Dr. Strange table that I haven't purchased yet that there's a gold star on it, anyone know what it is? Also, is there any achievements for the Strange table, I couldn't find anything listed.

 
Zen topped the gamerscore for Pinball FX 2 so no Dr. Strange doesn't have any achievements. I'm guessing the golden star is that it's the trial.

Thanks for the answer on the achievements. I dont think the star is that since the other unpurchased tables dont have it and they too have trials.

 
Yeaaaaaahhhhh!

That is awesome. I wouldn't even mind paying a Rock Band or Guitar Hero "transfer fee".

Just picked up the last Star Wars tables so 46 tables +4 more lol.

Edit: When did they add the Dead Pool Table, not paying 3 dollars for that one.

The deadpool table is actually a lot of fun! It's a hard table with short ball life. It plays very fast too. It came out a month ago roughly.

Guardians of the Galaxy releases today. Looks good. I haven't played it yet but will most definitely dive in tonight after work.

Also very happy to hear my collection from 360 will transfer to the Xbox one! I don't mind the slight delay

Whhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa?

Was playing today and noticed a star on a table. That's right, yet another new table for this game and it's:

Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy: http://youtu.be/HTpmiQKdDII
 
Xbox One version is up -- but I had to do a "Bing Search" to find it, incredibly, on the console. Couldn't find it in any of the "Game" sections -- not even the indie developers one!

 
It was in the featured new releases for me. Somehow I was able to download the Avengers Assemble and Captain America tables free. I don't recall ever buying any tables on 360 since I got a bunch for cheap or free on PS3 with PS+ and that version is more fun for me due to 3D TV support.
 
I got excited thinking I had a free table. Ha.

So I have the core tables on the 360 yet it doesn't let me download the core pack for X1. I also believe the first marvel pack is missing from the DLC. I don't see anywhere to download it and I remember when I did play this I had some marvel pack with Wolverine and Blade.

Some of the tables are still being worked on. The FAQ in the Zen Studios forums lists their statuses.

 
Xbox One version downloaded and transfers complete. Boy it does run super smooth but there were a few tables that didn't transfer as free for me so I'm scratching my head there.

Edit: The tables that aren't showing up free for me are

Earth Defense Force

Excalibur

and the Marvel pack with Spider-Man table (one of my favs)

I swear one of the Star Wars collections wasn't showing up for me either but now it is, hmm maybe just need to wait.

Went and downloaded the rest of the tables as before they were not showing up as free. Love that Zen stuck to their word, eventually. Yeah the South Park tables are up.
 
Yeah went back and played the soccer table after watching some Barclay's Premier League today. I wanted to know which team I had picked - thought I had picked Arsenal but it was Barcelona). I also started looking at the other tables and was wondering if they updated the other's import status. Yup!

Hmmm, I might have to pick up Guardians of the Galaxy as I finally watched the film.

Edit: Well I did the very not so CAG thing and purchased the rest of the tables. https://plus.google.com/+MikeKolb/posts/gwwWkAz6cAp

Initially I like Marvel's GotG table the best, Venom the least.

Been looking at this game on the Xbox site is it really free and you pay for tables or are some tables free?

Just looking for some info before I get invested

Thanks
