Zen Pinball 2 on PS3 FAQ

[thedicemaster]

europe seems to have some problems with the classic pack for the vita.

the vita versions of the trial and the unlock are not on the store, but the ps3 versions are.
i can download the pack through zen pinball 2, but it will download the trial version and it refuses to activate.
import says there's nothing to import, and when i press the buy button it says "no content is available yet."

i do own zen pinball 1.

Those tables took a while to show up in-game on my system. If you don't see them in-game, then just go to the PS store, they are all under Zen Pinball 2.

Thanks snakeman will keep checking PSN, it could be that the store is still updating as I don't see any extra content in ZP2 either! SCEE is last to get everything !! =)

The Europe store is probably still updating. When the game first appeared on the US store, it took about another hour before all of the add-ons were listed on both versions.

[thedicemaster]

i doubt it.
the store has been unchanged for over an hour, and the classic pack has been the only thing missing the whole time.

it wouldn't surprise me if it is online, but set to be only compatible with the psp.
the european psn is quite a mess like that.
some psp games can only be purchased and downloaded on a ps3, and several vita-compatible psp games and dlc packs are listed as incompatible on the vita store.

9. Wait!! I haven’t bought all the tables from Zen Pinball yet! Can I still do that on ZP2?

Yes! Please do!

So... I'm rather disappointed that if you purchase tables that were available as DLC for Zen 1 directly through Zen 2 you do not have the option to play them in Zen 1. If I had the foresight to simply download them for Zen 1 instead, I could play them in both games after importing them to Zen 2. So, I'm sitting here looking at these tables under add-ons for Zen 1 in the Playstation Store... they're still there and the same price and I'm feeling a bit cheated.

Is this just an oversight? Am I missing something? Or is it just "tough luck?"

Question.

If you Buy a table on Ps3 for ZP2 will it unlock on your PsV?

Yes! That's what what it means when they say "Cross Buy".

"Pretend" that I'm rilly rilly dumb, and didn't read ANY of the prior postings. I mean, REALLY pretend, here. So, I just download ZP2, and if it were crack, I'd be homeless and doing awful things for money, already. BUT! I can't download the classic pack, and for some reason, my brain is SURE that's where the really good crack is being stored. I want that crack. I.. well, I NEED it. Why the buzzkill? When can I get my Zen-Crack? What's really going on here? GIMME! (Please.)

We just heard that a problem with the classic pack on ZP2 Vita has been resolved by Sony Europe - if you are in an SCEE territory and are playing on Vita, then please try again! Otherwise, let us know what system and territory so we can figure it out.

We don't plan to offer a reverse import, as far as I know. It would make a super-complicated system doubly complicated, which is also why we didn't offer that in PFX2. Is there a reason for wanting to play them in ZP1, other than trophy score opportunities?

Are you able to get these tables directly from the PS Store? We have an issue with the in-game import function on Vita that we are trying to get straightened out right now.

Yes today i can get them from the PSN store on the vita.

but last night i could not and i did try. but only 7 items was listed last night and non of them was any i had already.

so it look like the Vita had 2 types of problem and not one. (the missing items from the Vita store and the nonworking ingame update.)

Loving Zen P2 now. Very impressed with both the polished and detailed graphics and the control/feel of the new physics engine. Spinners spin more organically and little touches like that immerse us more.

One important thing though is that the old view 6 is gone (I'm sure it's view 6 on PFX2 - the top down view like you're standing at the table). It's the best view to see the entire table and it was also the forced view with any multiball. Now, View 6 is a completely different low angle and the forced multiball view is now 2 which is a newer high view added this year on PFX2. (It's View 4 there). It's too steep and stretched and is very disorienting to play.

I really hope that this is just an oversight and that the old view 6 is put back. I know many friends who have been using that view for a long time and it's baffling that it's gone. The new view 7 is decent for a scrolling view but 6 needs to be there to play multiballs like we have been for the past 5 years. Actually surprised to not see it mentioned yet but I may have missed it.

Please address and fix this.
