Pinball FX3 FAQ

[McLovin]

I was remote playing Fifa at some point and the lag was already bad.
Cant imagine remote playing pinballs to be honest. Its not dev's fault, its just the entire infrastructure beneath it.

@McLovin
If you stop supporting Vita/PS3/X360 can we assume Zen Pinball 2 will be left in stores or you'll rather delist it anyway?

We are still finalizing everything, but the game will stay in your library, if not the store.

Hey McLovin, you posted the FAQ on 28th of June.

The FAQ stated: "The majority of your previous purchases can be imported to Pinball FX3 for FREE. We will confirm the Pinball FX3 table roster in the coming days."

It's been 15 days.

Can we have our roster?

I don't have it yet sorry!

Be patient fellow pinball player, it's coming, they will release the info when they are ready...

The second point is a great idea, I'm going to mention it to the team.

I too would like to see a companion app (PC-access for me), to check & compare scores, stats, tourney status, latest news, etc.

I am also hoping to see expanded social aspects. Similar to what SSX RiderNet did when you first logged into the game: showing latest score challenges & high scores from friends, recommendations, special events, etc. Maybe call it BumperNet or FlipperNet...

Very excited for PFX3, looking forward to the MP & tourneys and new tables! PFX2 is one of my top three games, will be fun to start in on the next gen! <thumbs up>

Hi guys,
I joined the forum not so long ago and here I am sending my first post.
I'm a huge fan of Zen Pinballs and I've been following them since their very beginnings.
The announcement of Pinball FX3 made me really excited.
Yes!! That means everything is going well for them and several more years of wonderful pinballs tables in front of us!
I have myself build a Pincade running on PS4 and have successfully integrated quite a few feedbacks like shakers, flashers and RGB LEDs.
The advantage on running with a PS4 it's the 3D mode (that's just about it!) and when you play it on a dedicated Pincade it feels real, oh yeah!
That said, I have some questions to ask and suggestions to propose.
As I mentioned before I play most of the time in 3D mode so I'm wandering if it will still be available in PFX3.
If this is the case are they going to update the camera angles in some tables ?
Most of them are perfects but in some the view is not as good (more perceptible in 3D mode), especially the ones with the full view of the tables (1 - 7).
This is only my point of view even if I'm pretty sure that the majority of those playing in 3D mode have the same feeling.

In the next tables below the view of the cameras 1 and 7 should be a little more remote and the table a little bit tilted as if the hind legs are higher than the front ones in order to have a more panoramic view:
Pashia
Eldorado
Women of power
Champions
Avengers
Spiderman
Boba Fett
Plants vs Zombies

In the next tables the view of the cameras 1 and 7 is a bit too far, making them too small:
The Empire Strike Back
Alien Isolation

And finally all tables should have the special view like the one on the Boba Fett showing part of the backglass with the DMD, maybe the best view in 3D mode.
All the others tables are fine and could be taken for references.
I'd really like to hear comments from those who play in 3D mode, do you agree with my suggestions? Do you have any ideas to share?

Apart from that I would like to propose some suggestions:

• Random mode
An option were the game choose randomly a table for us. This may sound a bit trite, but adding a random option would be very useful in local and online multiplayer and maybe it will make us play tables that we have neglected for a long time.

• Lights options
Actually the ambient light is to bright making the light effects of the playfield not visible enough, the introduction of an option were it would be possible to adjust the ambient brightness and the lights of the tables would make a huge difference!

Well, that's all, I can't wait to see what they've done in Pinball FX3, I'm sure we will be amazed by their work.

I'm not sure if this could be done just by Zen or if it would take a system update from Sony as well, but it'd be great if PBFX3 let us use the PSVR to play the tables in 3D television mode. PBFX VR is great, but having all the tables in 3D would be even better.

Hi.
I am new here and my english is not so good.
I have a question.
I have an xbox360 and i have all bought all tables for Pinball FX2.
Now i have get an PS4.
So i want to know, if i can get all my tables from Pinball FX2 xbox 360 to Pinball FX3 PS4?
I don´t want to pay double for the tables.
If it works, can you tell me, how i can transfer them?

Sorry, you can't transfer tables you bought on Xbox to PS4. You will have to buy them again on PS4 .

I don't want to even think how much I've spent on this game, re-buying tables on different platforms.

[Skode]

We got a release date or even a release month yet? It's already August but not a peep... I'm assuming September (Summer ends then lol)

[The Albin0 Rhin0]

Kinda hoping for some sort of update of when we can expect a release date. Already been a month

[Klart]

Yup. Please give us an update on estimated release date or tables that can be transfered.

[Redline]

It would be nice to know when Pinball FX 3 is coming out and if Nintendo said yes to releasing Pinball FX 3 on Nintendo Switch, but since you've brought Infinite Minigolf to Nintendo Switch, I think there will be no worries.
In addition, I hope we will get a release date very soon.

If PBFX3 comes to Switch that might be the push I'd need to buy one. Since PBFX3's release will mean no more new tables for the PS Vita I'll need a new handheld for the new tables. Of course then there'd be no cross buy/play with PS4, so I'd have to buy them twice if I wanted a system that had every table for leaderboards and tournaments. Oh well.

[PseudoTye]

I apologize if this has already been asked, but will FX3 be coming to iOS to replace Zen Pinball? Or will Zen Pinball still be fully supported as the "iOS version" of the game with any new tables, etc. as it has been historically?

Thanks!

Big fans of Nintendo, but we didn't announce anything...yet

Not for the time being. The Universal Classics Pinball pack will be coming to Zen Pinball still.
