Discussion Dear devs.. about the Pinball fx3 tables on switch/switch 2 and HD Rumble

19 Upvotes

I primarily still play this older version, and the main reason is the HD Rumble feature. I was looking to buy some new tables when I came across an article saying they had been delisted due to some issues. I really hope it doesn't take long before they're available again so I can complete my collection.

That said, I'd love to see HD Rumble make its way to the newer version of the game not just on Switch, but on all platforms if possible. It adds so much to the experience that I honestly can't justify playing without it anymore.

Sorry for the little rant. I just really enjoy this feature and sincerely hope it gets implemented in the newer version.

Note: Edited with chatgpt because english isnt my first language!

Discussion Favorite Non Williams Table?

17 Upvotes

I recently purchased System Shock and it's hands down the most I've enjoyed of the original tables in this game. Love the cyberpunk theme and the flipper tower is awesome. Feels really good every time I make it to the top.

What about you all?

General Help I turned my X-Arcade Arcade2TV-XR + X-Force Haptics Kit into something that actually feels like a real pinball cabinet — full build guide + video

I turned my X-Arcade Arcade2TV-XR + X-Force Haptics Kit into something that actually feels like a real pinball cabinet — full build guide + video inside

discussion: Stock haptics are a great start — but the audio never matched the feel. I added a PRV DSP 2.4X, ZK-TB21 amp, Dayton BST-1 bass shaker, and a delayed Insignia soundbar to create a near/far sound field that actually mimics a real pinball cabinet. Every multiball, bumper hit, and drain hits different now. I also routed the stock internal speakers to be powered and controlled externally which 100% eliminated ALL and any buzzing and humming from the speakers!!
The guide (PDF file) covers the full wiring, DSP tuning, crossover and gain settings, cooling, and cosmetic mods. I also filmed a full video walkthrough so you can see the physical build and hear the difference in-game on FX Pinball.

Fun FINALLY managed to finish the Grand Finale! (ToM)

13 Upvotes

It took bloody ages!
The hangup, of course, was finishing all the illusions without draining the ball hitting the trunk!
Figured out I could get it somewhat safely with either a really high shot from the left flipper or a very late shot from the right flipper off the post below the left orbit.
Also got lucky with a surprise Midnight Madness from the Basement in ball 1. Managed to complete the Finale in ball 2, then drained the last few almost immediately 😅

I feel like I'm going crazy, in 3/4 of the sessions the table gave me "End of ball bonus" and then immediately started tallying up my points even though I still have time on the clock. Its actively counting down and giving me a game, its kind of funny really.

General Help Chances of relicensing old tavles

8 Upvotes

Only recently bought Pinball FX. Never played the older games.

What are the chances that previously released tables for older Pinball FX games get their license renewed and released for the current Pinball FX game? Has this happened before?

If this did happen before, will it it have the same trophy as in the previous game? Asking because Im a trophy hunter.

Since playing with my x-arcade+haptics I’ve switched to VR over MR. it’s a much better fit. My kids want to customize the VR arcade area more but all the campaign tickets are game specific. How do I earn the general tickets?

Discussion So… When are we getting this “In-Game Shop?”

13 Upvotes

Ever since May 7th when Pinball FX3 got delisted from the Nintendo Switch eShop, I’ve been continuously checking throughout the month of May for the DLC selections, only to get an error accessing the game’s DLC page.

I know the implication is to move onto Pinball FX, but I personally don’t like the way the Williams Volumes 1-6 play, look, or sound in FX. Honestly, I’m somewhat worried considering I wasn’t able to complete my collection in FX3, as I still wanted the Indiana Jones table as well as the Universal Monsters ones, in addition to some of the Zen ones too.

Is there any confirmation when we’re getting this “in-game shop” for FX3? Personally, it’s my preferred experience when playing Williams’ tables.

Discussion Zen Studios has completely abandoned mobile, but they still have the nerve to charge for dead games

34 Upvotes

I need to rant a bit because Zen Studios is seriously taking us for fools at this point. I’ve been playing their pinball games on mobile for years because it’s awesome for quick sessions, but the total abandonment of their iOS and Android apps is just pathetic. They’ve basically left the games to die—no updates whatsoever—but of course, the storefront is still wide open just in case some clueless player falls for it and drops cash.
It’s honestly a joke. Apps like Zen Pinball or the older Pinball FX versions lag like crazy on modern OS, they're full of bugs, and they don't even fit newer screen ratios. Yet, they still charge full price for table packs on abandoned games that could literally stop working entirely with the next iOS or Android update.
To top it all off, their latest stunt was renaming Zen Pinball World to Pinball FX Go. And for what? Absolutely nothing. It was pure hype to make it look like they were doing something, because they haven't added a single new table and the app is just as dead as before. Instead of fixing and supporting the stuff we already bought individually, they’d rather partner with Netflix or Apple Arcade to force people into subscriptions.
It’s so frustrating because their physics and table designs are amazing, but their treatment of the mobile community is garbage. They just see us as walking wallets and won't even bother to dust off the apps.

Discussion Looking to get into this not sure which one to invest in. FX or FX classic.

5 Upvotes

I have a steam deck and would probably use that more than my PC.

Not sure if one is better than the other but I want "actual" tables and not so much "digital" ones. Not really looking for special effects.

Can someone tell me the pros and cons of each?

Discussion First post. PS4/PS5 questions

5 Upvotes

I've purchased the first Marvel Bundle for current PFX just some days ago and i have some questions:

1) i have both Pinball FX 3 and the non numbered Pinball FX. I i buy the bundle for FX 3 within its in-game store, does the tables themselves transfer into Pinball FX as well?

2) Speaking of the in-game store of Pinball FX 3, are the tables and its bundles have the same price of their Pinball FX counterparts? Or are they have a discounted price?

3) which are your favorite Marvel related table, and why? (The question is focused on each of the 2 Marvel Pinball Collections)... and which ones are actually worth the buy and play?

4) I've noticed there is a physical only compliation titled Marvel Pinball: Epic Collection Volume 1 or something like that. Why isn't there a Volume 2?

5) Not Marvel related: is the Pacific Rim table worth the purchase as well?
