Since FS wasn't able to keep track of all the bugs, performance issues, etc.(there were only a couple), I thought we could try keeping our own log. If nothing else, FS employees will get a kick out of the things we think they changed. Feel free to list things and I'll edit my orginal post to reflect it. I will check the thread often to add and edit.

I don't want this to turn into a bug/artwork/performance issue reporting thread. Just things we think have improved or changed on the Vita version. Let's start alphabetically.

All Tables

  • Animated rollovers.
  • Improved ball reflection.
  • Improved detail and resolution.
  • Improved contrast and color saturation.

Attack From Mars

  • Slightly darker overall lighting scheme that enhances the look of the lights on the playfield.
  • Smoother frame rate.
  • No orbit collision issues that caused the ball to head STDM.
  • Pop bumpers are much more active.

Big Shot

  • Darker room lighting scheme that enhances the look of the table lighting.
  • More detailed/more dimensions on ball.
  • Smoother overall gameplay.

Black Hole

  • I'm not sure much has been done with this table. Maybe a slight lighting change...?
  • Ball animation is very nice.

Black Knight

  • Playfield color is more accurate.
  • The lower level eject hole doesn't lock up the game.
  • Smoother gameplay.

Bride of Pin*Bot

  • Better ramp transparency?

Cactus Canyon

  • Much improved detail and resolution of the playfield
  • No collision issues on the right or left orbit causing the ball to head SDTM
  • Smoother gameplay

Centaur

  • I've read that it plays a little differently, which is supposedly more accurate to the real table.
  • Not sure what else has been done to this table.

Central Park

  • Improved darker lighting scheme that enhances the table lighting.

Champion Pub

  • Perhaps improved lighting effects.
  • The boxer looks more detailed.

Cirqus Voltaire

  • The ball is not as "floaty" during play.
  • Detail and dimension of the Ringmaster seems better.

Creature from the Black Lagoon

  • Smoother frame rate, plays much faster.
  • Improved lighting.

Dr. Dude

  • Smoother frame rate and much faster play. Greatly improved in this area.

Elvira and the Party Monsters

  • Slight lighting improvement(check out the lighting on the flippers and shadows from the slings in Landscape view 1).
  • Improved transparency of the Monster Slide.

Firepower

  • Much more active pop bumpers.
  • This table can be fast!
  • Slight lighting enhancement.

Flight 2000

  • Not sure what has been done with this table.
  • Table plays super smooth and fast, but I think it always has.

Funhouse

  • Enhanced lighting effects.

Genie

  • Enhanced lighting effects.

Gorgar

  • Great improvement to the lighting of this table!(IMO, it's one the best looking tables now)

Harley Davidson 3rd Ed.

  • Enhanced lighting effects.

Medieval Madness

  • Smoother ball movement.

Monster Bash

  • This has always been one of the best looking and playing tables. I'm not sure if anything has been done to it.

No Good Gofers

  • Again, not sure what else has been done to this table other than possibly enhanced lighting.

Pin*Bot

  • Enhanced lighting effects.

Ripley's Believe It or Not!

  • Not sure what else has been done.

  • Vastly improved frame rate and gameplay.
  • Probably a tweak to the table lighting.

  • Enhanced lighting effects.
  • Overall warmer color balance.

Taxi

  • Very nice lighting effects on this table.
  • Smooth and very fast.

Theatre of Magic

  • New artwork and improved transparency on left return lane?
  • Not sure if it's always been there, but I also noticed a shadow on the table from the rail that crosses over the playfield.

Twilight Zone

  • Other than the global changes, not sure what else has been done to this table.

Whirlwind

  • Very nice improvement to the lighting effects.

White Water

  • Other than global changes, I'm not sure.

Well that's all of the patched tables so far.

For the most part, all tables have seen increased detail, improved contrast and color, animated rollovers, ball reflection, and most tables have noticeable improvements to the lighting effects.

There are still some annoying bugs and glitches, but overall every table plays pretty well.
