ZEN Studios: Shame on you!

[pjclark]

Zen studios: You should be ashamed of yourself. DEEPLY ashamed.

Why? Quite simple. Me, and thousands of other WiiU users have paid for mulitple tables in ZEN Pinball 2. There are still bugs in these tables, we have brought to your attention over a year ago. The Spiderman table is one of the worst ones where after every multiball the screen doesn't return to it's correct setting.
In over a year, you haven't done SHIT for us to solve these issues. We haven't had an official tournament EVER since this game was released.

Dude, chill out. I mean, talk about an overreaction. The camera doesn't change back? Here's a fix: Click the "C" button. That changes the camera back. Seriously, talk about having a privileged special-little-flower attitude for a minor problem, which, by the way, is not technically even a bug. Sometimes minor annoyances happen. My advice? Try not to act like a crying child about it. It's doubtful *any* company is going to devote employee hours to something that barely has any effect on a single game.

It's awesome! Especially with the night mode. I've uploaded a few videos onto Youtube with the share function.

Note: The PS4 share feature does a lot of compression (reduces frame rate and resolution), but it gives you a good idea what the game is like.

There was a Black Knight table at the arcade I would go to as a kid. That was a fun table. I wish they would make Swords of Fury. My buddy and I played that one all the time.

I would like to get a PS4. I was curious to know how Pinball Arcade played. Do you enjoy it!

Indeed. I've stopped expecting anything from ZEN when it comes down to the WiiU.
I've moved on as well, but to the PS4 and I have been playing The Pinball Arcade on that machine. I have installed Zen Pinball 2 as well with one table, but won't purchase the tables for the PS4. I've already spend way to much money on ZP2 without getting what I deserved and paid for.

I'm just commenting on the fact that nothing really changed since Mel's comment that we have not been supported well (his words not mine) and that Zen Studios was working to make things right.

To be honest the only change I've seen in the last year is that people no longer ask if a newly released table will be available on the Wii U at launch. They just know it won't be.

We have not stopped supporting Wii U - it takes a lot more time to develop for Wii U, which I have explained before. I will post Wii U news as soon as we have it.

Lets face it they've moved on. Everything makes more money on the other formats and it doesn't make sense to continue to have to do separate development for just Nintendo. 100$ says they have an NX dev kit and are working on that since it's suppose to be port friendly. The best thing Nintendo could do it make the system as user friendly as possible for 3rd parties.

Yes, I agree. The last post in this section of the forum started by Zen representative with news for us was over 8 months ago. I've sort of moved on as well. I know there are tables on the Wii U that I haven't bought. That was unheard of last year at this time.

To be honest, I couldn't even tell you what tables have been announced in the last 6 months, but I'd bet dollar to dime they aren't on the Wii U.

I hear your concerns and issues and agree that we have not supported you properly. We are working to make this right.

Remember this way back when? The promise of better times laying ahead for Wii U owners. Not getting content after everyone else. Working leaderboards. Yeah....that would have been nice.

Nice to see Zen Studios again finally acknowledge the Wii U's existence and the fact that they have alot of players are still on Wii U. I'm not a huge follower like alot people here, but I wasn't impressed to see Nintendo fans shunted out of the picture and concerns not acknowledge. Hopefully Zen can restore our faith!

Lol. So sensitive. I don't think you understood my post at all. You can whine and moan all you like. You can be immature and demand your money back and make ridiculous comments about capitalism. It seems to be the only way to get a response from Zen. My comment was directed at your misguided comment about how Americans "prouds (sic) itself on free speech" and somehow you find a disconnect between that principle and the fact that you can't say curse words on broadcast television and why your comments got deleted. The reason why your comments got deleted has nothing to do with free speech. I know Barbie rarely ever deletes posts and it is usually because of cursing or personal attacks against her or another forum member. You have to realize that this game is rated for all ages and that zen doesn't want their social media littered with foul-mouthed comments.

Well, the only "foulmouthed" word in that original text is "sh*t", and Google tells me that they haven't had any problem with that word before. Not on this forum, not on their Facebook page. So your story doesn't add up. Smple...
The whole point for deleting that post on Facebook is just the negative content. Quite simple as that.

This acknowledgement. This simple statement right here has restored some of my faith. Thank you Mel! It's nice to feel like we are important. I really hope you can make this happen.

It's good to see you back! I was hoping you seen this!

Bingo! Not to mention, there was a set of guidelines that we agreed to when we signed up to this forum.

One of those guidelines clearly states:

You may not use profanity. It is unprofessional and offensive and will not be tolerated. We have word filters in place for the most vulgar terms. Circumventing those word filters will result in punitive action.
