Zen Pinball 2 on PS3 FAQ

Yes! You only have to buy it once in Marvel Pinball and then you'll have it in ZP2 for PS3 and Vita! A few people have had issues importing them, let me know if you have any troubles!

Actually it is not. At least on PS3. I just loaded Zen Pinball (1) and booted up Tesla to see for myself. View 6 is the higher view (but not too high) as if you're standing and playing the table. It doesn't scroll.

The new View 3 is nothing like that at all. The best and most playable view has been removed from the game. Makes no sense at all.

Anyone that has the original Zen Pinball on PS3, load it and look at view 6. It's the same view that multiball has always gone to once it starts. I have used this view for years and as I mentioned, most of the solid players I know use it too.

I'm hoping that Solitude or BarbieBobomb (great name btw) can address this issue today.

I meant that what use to be view 3 on MP is now view 5 on ZP2, and I would know because I use that view all the time. I did see view 6 on ZP1 and you are right about that. Glad the team is on it to accommodate your issues. Good thing you are still enjoying ZP2.

Game Play Problems

Is anyone having any visual glitches? So far on every table I've played, which is about 6, the ball itself will go fuzzy for a second then return to normal. It doesn't happen very often, but noticeable. The ball doesn't stop moving, the game doesn't pause, it just goes fuzzy before or after it leaves the flipper. Is anyone else experiencing any problems with the game play?

I am aware that the camera angles have changed and have let the team know that you guys want them fixed. Currently our focus is getting the kinks worked out with import issues.

Thank you very much. Of course work out the kinks first. Again, amazing job on the continual improvement to one of the best games ever.

Keep us posted about view 6 and when it's replaced, please make that the multiball view as has always been.

Actually it is. I noticed the same thing. Although I thought that View 3 is not View 5. Still it doesn't negate that the camera views have changed.

This is simply not true.

[Phobos790]

The views have been re-arranged. Try view 2! View 6 is now the new view 3.

This is simply not true.

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?

So, tough luck it is. Thanks.

My reason, while irrelevant, was curiosity and potential trophies. Obviously, if I had visited these forums prior to making said purchases I may have been able to glean that it would have been beneficial to purchase tables as DLC for the original Zen Pinball instead of buying directly through Zen Pinball 2's menu. However, I imagine that most of your customers are not forum users. If the Zen Pinball add-ons are going to be removed from the Playstation Store it may have been better to remove them at the same time that Zen Pinball 2 became available.

As for the reverse import; when I first viewed the add-ons for Zen pinball 2 in the Playstation Store it recognised which tables had already been purchased, and thus, those tables were "free." I feel that it was an oversight to not offer the reverse of this, since the original add-ons are still there in the Playstation store. Purchasing the tables one way unlocks them for both games, purchasing them another way unlocks them only for Zen Pinball 2 though the price is the same. It seems counterintuitive.

Sour grapes, perhaps, but I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth all the same.

I am entirely agree with Phobos790,the old view 6 is unique,it's a view like a true flipper and the other view make me sick,please return it.
