    DX9 to DX11 Screenshot Comparisons

    I made a gallery with a few comparisons of TOTAN, T2 and STTNG here: https://imgur.com/a/vPQvh Definitely loving that T2 and STTNG are no longer pink-tinted!

    Request Challenge System (my thoughts)

    So I checked out this challenge mode recently. For some reason I didn't notice it was there! There's a bunch of challenges for the Season 1 pack of tables I own. Then recently I bought Season 2. I was expecting to see the list of challenges updated to include all the new tables in my...

    Will we get a warning for license expirations?

    This is interesting. I just checked my Steam purchases. I must have bought season 1 in-game, and I recently bought season 2 from the store page. Steam totally recognises that I have season 2 as a DLC pack: it's listed in the right-click properties as DLC, and the store page says "You already...

    Most Wanted Feature? Dream with me...

    As a PC player on Steam, my most wanted features: - Looking forward to DX11/improved lighting. It doesn't even have to be more photorealistic, just "light" and "dark" options would be great... and the removal of the pink hue on some tables. - Overhaul of the UI/menu system so that it looks a...

    Steam Summer Sale starts June 19th

    Did you want to get chosen by Valve as a daily/flash sale? It's okay to admit if you don't really want to be in the sale. That's cool if you did the math and decided a daily/flash sale wouldn't be an advantage... but would you let us know if that's the case? Maybe I should have asked earlier...

    PC Version 1.22.7 Discussion and Feedback

    Yesterday Steam had a 700MB download update, which I presume was this version update. I wouldn't have thought 1 new table was 700MB in size, so what else has happened in this update? Is there a changelog? EDIT: I've found the answer to my own question. Animated rollovers on each table: "We...

    AMD Display Driver 9.12.0.0 dramatically better than 13.152.1.8000 with TPA

    I know nothing about PC graphics, so my opinion probably isn't worth much... but I guess TPA is using DX9 and using very old and simple post-processing effects. It's a very "last-gen" game. This possibly means that graphics drivers from a few years ago are more compatible with the game than...

    Steam Trading Cards

    I was pleasantly surprised that TPA had trading cards! I'd have thought it was the last thing on Farsight's mind. I have a duplicate Champion Pub... I put it on the market when they were selling for 60p, but nobody is biting. Might have to take it off and sell it again for 40p. Bah.

    It's out! (PC Initial Release Discussion And Feedback)

    I've had a little time to evaluate the graphics now. The game runs great, but seeing the graphics in nice crisp 1920x1080 with high settings shows up how graphically weak some of the art assets are. Unfortunately I have to be critical. I'm on nVidia 550Ti, post-processing on, anti-aliasing x16...

    Bug PC Version 1.19.6 Bugs

    Same happened for me. Confirmed here on wired Xbox 360 controller... just one full-strength nudge.

    It's out! (PC Initial Release Discussion And Feedback)

    The game is running great for me. Really good performance that isn't testing my fairly old hardware at all, and the lighting on the tables looks better than I've ever seen before. The only criticisms I have are issues the game has always had on other platforms: 1) Score initials must be...

    Purchases will be handled strictly within The Pinball Arcade - why?

    Steam sales are AWESOME. Certainly for the consumer, anyway :) I can't imagine Steam sales hurt publishers -- it leads to many more sales than they would have ever got before. I took the plunge with Pinball FX2 in the last Steam sale, which means I am another person with Pinball FX2 on my...

    It's out! (PC Initial Release Discussion And Feedback)

    2.7 GB! That's a pretty large download. I wasn't expecting it to be nearly that large. Does this mean the art assets are much higher resolution than tablet versions? It's a lot of gigabytes. I can only imagine that this download contains every table, rather than just being the core game engine...

    Purchases will be handled strictly within The Pinball Arcade - why?

    In PinWiz's post on the "Articles" section of this website a few days ago, it says: "NOTE : All purchases will be handled strictly within The Pinball Arcade and you will be required to add funds to your steam wallet for all in-game purchases." I'd like to have some discussion about why it...

    Bug Overlapping music tracks

    This bug has been spoiling Funhouse for me on the 360 as well. The main music is supposed to change to the "Midnight" music, but instead it carries on playing constantly underneath and never ends, even once the game is over and you're on the attract screen again. I can't really play the table...

    DLC Release Date

    I literally imagined a toddler stamping it's feet when I read that! I'm not happy about this Microsoft rejection of DLC pack #1 either, but there's no point whining. It's worrying just how much a failed certification can throw off FarSight's business model -- they are dedicated to releasing...

    Latest NEWS And INFORMATION On FarSight Studios' The Pinball Arcade

    I can't hide my disappointment about the Xbox 360 delays. Who said DLC pack #1 was due out today? Was it just speculation or was it Mike? Either way, it's crushing to hear it's only going to be submitted to Microsoft this week. This means the core Pinball Arcade game will have been sitting on...

    What's so special about a SPECIAL?

    In FarSight's retail Gottlieb and Williams collections a Special would give you a free game just like real life, which was useful if you were using the in-game credits to play tables while they were still locked. Of course you eventually got to a point where you'd unlocked all the tables for...

    Anyone else finding PHOF:Williams Collection really hard to play after playing TPA?

    I'm in the UK. I'd heard about the Gottlieb and Williams HOF collections for several years but they had not been released -- at least not on my console, the Xbox 360. Finally last year the Williams collection was released as Williams Pinball Classics. Even then it was quite a rare release, and...

    Visual Pinball / Pinmame

    I'm afraid I find Visual Pinball too inaccessible to even download or install, which is a shame, because I sometimes encounter references to VP and wish I could play it too. Now, I'm not an idiot but I like things to be simple. Future Pinball was easy to run because it was one easy Windows...
