Awesome news. Curious that it isn't called ZP2 VR on PS?

They are pretty much identical regardless of VR platform, so we kept the name the same to simplify.

Super Awesome News

Hey, that is super awesome news, I really enjoyed Pinball FX2 VR when I had my DK2 set up and the Oculus Store made this game available, but since getting my Vive I haven't played Pinball FX2 VR at all, mostly because of the hassle of setting the DK2 up again.

Question -- will I have to re-purchase this game from the Steam store or will I be able to somehow use the version I already bought on the Oculus store with my Vive?

Also -- I see that there is an expansion with new tables, which is incredibly awesome as well, I was hoping this would happen. If I were still playing I would have known about this sooner and bought the tables already! Really looking forward to them. The first three tables were so incredibly good, I have high hopes for the expansion.

For me it's the perfect opportunity to take the step of the VR. I know what to order from Santa Klaus

If you bought the Oculus version to use with Vive (and you can't purchase DLC) email me your receipt and I will see what I can do to get you on the actual Vive version of the game once it's out - support @zenstudios.com

Makes sense. It would be great if the table platforms all shared one unique name. Zen Pinball is still the best name IMO.

Steam version for Oculus Rift?

I don't think the announcement says 'Steam' anywhere but I assume this will be a Steam release?

If so, any idea if the Steam release will work on an Oculus Rift?

Hi,

I can answer you : HTC Vive is a VR helmet for Steam support, and Oculus Rift is another one with his own store. They aren't compatible.

I have some questions about the HTC Vive and the Oculus versions, if BB or any gamer can help me before deciding.

I understood that the main interest of HTC Vive compared to Oculus Rift (not Touch) is there are 2 controllers (as on Wii), which one we can move in space. But can we still play Pinball FX VR with a XBox controller on the HTC Vive version ? And what's the interest of the HTC Vive version compared to Oculus Rift (if it exists), since there's no possibility to move in space on Pinball FX2 VR ? Are the graphics thinner on a version ?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

I literally went and bought a Vive today, just for this. I had the oculus DK1 just to get a taste of VR, but have been holding off ever since. This is the killer app for me. Oh man

Erratum : since march 2016, we can play on Steam with an Oculus Rift or a DK2. You just have to install SteamVR.
