I also held off a long time buying any tables. The stacked discounting helps the pricing. As of the last patch it works pretty great on its own. With cabinet mode I had a lot of problems with crashing and it not recognizing my atgames controls which then required me to use joytokey for the controls. I had some issues getting it to recognize all 3 monitors and at the right positioning as you have to go into a file and manually adjust the settings.

On platforms it takes approval then permission, often 6 months in advance to put anything on sale through Sony, Nintendo, and X Box stores. The ticket system bypasses all that nonsense and as long as they are producing tables, one will always need more tickets.

To everyone else, don't give in. They're trying to entice people by not releasing anymore on consoles, but don't do it... You're going to get sucked in and then have to buy all the same tables again because we all know it sucks seeing grayed out tables and or having to switch back and forth and we want it to just be all in one... Eventually they'll have to release this new version to consoles and they'll be available everywhere again. With how many people that have pretty much boycotted this new version, it's only a matter of time that they'll redo the purchase structure and let people bring their existing tables with how much back lash they have gotten... Once they see they're not making money like they used to is when they'll have to start listening to the fans & customers again... You see this all the time when companies don't have competition anymore. Now that Farsight is out of the digital Pinball market it's just Zen really. Zachariah Pinball is not even on their same level because they don't have the big licenses. So don't give in, keep resisting and don't give them anymore of your hard earned money... The other thing with this ticket bullshit is if they lose the license or it runs out, then they can take it out of your library or something like that since you didn't actually buy the table, you bought tickets that you redeemed for a table. So if the license for said table runs out or doesn't renew then you're SOL and they can just replace it with a generic table or maybe none at all. It might stay if you have it downloaded, but if you delete it or update to a new version that doesn't have it anymore, then you can't re-download it... Like now even with Farsight, if you bought the Williams tables before they lost the license, you can still re-download them even if you delete them or get a new console. I was able to re-download all of them from the ps4 to the PS5... It sucks, I used to support Zen as well. But what they're doing and started neglecting console customers and now doing the BS beta early release nonsense and not releasing it to everyone at the same time and being a complete final version without a bunch of bugs... They've gotten lazy and took their customers for granted because they're the only ones doing digital Pinball now... It's like a bunch of corporate people took over instead of people that actually cares...

Well thats the way it is sometimes I only sank like 15 dollars into it. I hope we see more Williams/Bally tables. That's what really brought me too the dance in PBA. One question I had is can you set the 3D elements to off as default on the Williams tables? I appreciate that they are toggable but I'd just like to play Attack from Mars from the get go without having to deal with the 3D models. Also one complaint I had about FX3 was it dumping you out into a menu at the end of your session. I miss out on hearing the "Back again" messages from a lot of the tables. Anyhoo minor quibbles.

Ticket system- I want to be able to buy my tables at dollar/euro price, not with this obfuscated stupid nonsense I like the room and the whole unlock stuff, it feels pretty enticing, especially with the additional gameplay modes and possibilties such as Pinball Royale coming up, I just wish it wasnt wrapped around this, ugh...nonsensical business mode and performance problems and all that. Until this happens, Im just gonna work on completing my Pinball FX3 collection (I have 87 tables out of 100 bought so far) and play that game, Im in no rush.

Long time pfx fan, purchased all tables on ps3, ps4, switch etc. I personally do not believe the tables were 'really' remastered. I think the 'remaster' means they wanted to port all tables to unreal engine, and wanted us, the loyal fans to fund the time it takes to port them. Had they given me my purchased tables, i would have carried on purchasing new tables. As it stands, they want me to pay for all my tables..again. no! not again. Because if any returning fan pays up price, then a new fx will come along and we would have to purchase them all again. The business model here is so bad. They wanted to move to a new engine...and get the loyal fanbase to fund it. Not happening with me. I got all 100 tables in fx3 and sticking to that. They are all in one place. All they had to do, was look after their fanbase. Greed, pure greed. And if disney, williams, bally, gearbox etc want hefty profit cuts in licencing, then they are to blame also. Even sony allowed ps4 games to run on ps5, and they are one of the most anti consumer companies in the world.

@@PDubsArcadeLoft I'm not accusing you, just speaking in general that a game like this should be pirated.

1) the lame tickets/pinball pass model 2) the fact that they did nothing to help people who spent hundreds of dollars on tables for fx3 to migrate 3) that I am running with beelink ser PCs in my two pinball cabs and the Vega 10 on my table top is kinda low end for fx3 let alone the new version. I suspect the radeon 650 on the 6800h for my larger cab would manage it tho. 4) this is only on epic games instead of steam, which would force me to make yet another account. So pretty much I’m mostly planning to just stay with fx3. It’s sad, because I really like the zen tables. If they even had a discounted “upgrade kit” for fx3 users to get the remastered tables they owned from fx3 I might be tempted to try it (tho the ticket system instead of just cash is obnoxious, so maybe not even then).

It’s pretty easy. You have to rotate your computer screen 90 degrees then plug in the HDMI and usb to the ALU. Use Joytokey to do a simple remap of some the controls. Then start OTG on the ALU. Controlling the Pinball FX’s UI from the ALU can be spotty, so I use my mouse to do it. Other than that, that’s it. I do feel there is some slight lag while playing but maybe it’s just me. I feel like Zaccaria plays better. Hope this helps.

I don’t get it. Mainly same content as fx3 I’m not buying these tables again. And what seemed strange was I played the free table on the ps5 and the physics of the ball seems off like there was a delay on the ball. It was clunky feeling. The free table is a table I bought on fx3. Why not just make a fx3 for ps5 add the new tables that are here and allow us to keep all our old tables. There treating this likes it’s the sims same game over and over with same content. I honestly think I have to say I’m done with zen pinball maybe it’s time for a new company that doesn’t just rehash old content and expect you to fork out the dough. I honestly hope this is an epic fail so they learn a lesson. Greedy greedy. I already deleted this and I vowed not to redownload it. Don’t want to go back and fourth to play a different table either. I just want pinball tables and I want them all on the same game and could care less about the other lame things they added.

They can't add new tables to FX3 because they switched engines. We got tables transferred from FX2 to FX3 for free. The content is not 100% the same as FX3, namely the new and improved physics. Change how a game plays, they need to retune. We have a completely new ball game. Did you know Farsight did the exact same thing on Playstation 4, for Pinball Arcade? No table transfers from 3 or Vita.
