[QUOTE="spoonman, post: 237070, member: 382"] You can actually get 50% off of Season 1 IF you've already purchased most of them for the PS3 (IIRC) or if you purchased the Complete Season (for the PS3). Farsight has put Season 2 & 3 on sale for 50% last August, and I'm holding out for another sale someday. The graphics on most tables are a nice improvement, primarily with the lighting and the smoother frame rate. The texture quality for the table graphics looks about the same, but the smoother polygons (on rails, toys, ramps), along with the lighting improvement helps it all look nicer. Unfortunately the sound has either remained the same, or worse yet, now has audible clicks and other annoyances. Farsight said fixes are on the way, but can't give us a concrete date on when this might happen. So, to sum my experiences up... [COLOR="#008000"][U][B]PROS:[/B][/U][/COLOR] Improved lighting on the PS4 with the ability to switch between 3 preset room lightings (dark, neutral, & bright). [COLOR="#0000CD"]The Dual Shock 4 is much more comfortable than the DS3. My fingers don't slip off the triggers nearly as much.[/COLOR] Rock solid 60fps @ 1080p [COLOR="#0000CD"]The ability to record videos of your game play with the PS4 Share button.[/COLOR] You can mix in your own music via the Media Player (mp3) or Spotify streaming. Very nice for older EM machines without much sound. [COLOR="#0000CD"]Flipper "3.0 Physics". Big Shot is currently the only older table (season 1) which had this feature added, but Farsight promises a complete rollout, again, we haven't had any info on when this may be. It makes a huge difference IMO. It really is amazing how much better it feels. It allows you to pull off moves such as Drop Catches like a pro. This isn't even possible on the older physics.[/COLOR] [COLOR="#B22222"][B]CONS[/B]:[/COLOR] Having to buy all of the tables once again. 50% discount on S1 (if purchased on PS3). [COLOR="#0000CD"]No FRIEND sorting on leaderboards... Not sure why this still has not been fixed?[/COLOR] Season 2 has no trophy support. I was hopful they would have come up with a solution by now. [COLOR="#0000CD"]The sound is buggy on quite a few table's. [/COLOR] Table graphic artwork assets looks about the same. [COLOR="#0000CD"]No Stereoscopic 3D support as on the PS3 version. I'm hoping they will add PSVR support.[/COLOR] Here are some quick table game play examples on the PS4 which I've recorded using the PS4's internal Share to YouTube function. They were all played using the latest software update (as of 4/1/2016). Strangely, the audio bugs don't show up on the PS4's internal recording feature so I'm guessing this bug happens at some point during the digital to audio conversion. Perhaps Farsight can use this information to their advantage?
