New physic`s 3.0

[Kampfhendl]

Hey Guys what you thinking about the new Physics 3.0 in Xenon?
i think it`s awsome! Now you can stop the ball directly. I hope it comes to all other Tables!

Just played Android version on newly released Xenon,i think new physics is great,can't wait to see it on other tables

The new physics is out of this world. Aiming from the tip of the flipper (especially with a high speeding ball) is hard to emulate, but it feels superb with the new flipper physics. Gone are the Future pinball like behavior. I am really stoked with the new Physics

Having the option to do live catching, drop catching and tip-passes is a great, great plus. So far I can say that live catches feels like on a real table to me. Hard to do, but very satisfying when done successful.

I do not care if the next table is a month or two late if it means these wonderful physics will be implemented on all the older tables.

I am all for it!!! Very cool ... please bring to all tables

There will be those that say they don't care for it cause things like the "live catch" are very hard to do on a real table and it happens too often in the Xenon test. Here's the deal ... I'd much rather see the new physics in place than not. It's an added feature that changes it up in a good way and adds variety and new possibilities. Keep up the good work FS.

In my testing the new physics is already on all tables now (DX11) PC

It's fantastic, makes it a completely new game. My hat goesoff to farsight for continuing to (albeit slowly) improve this game while still giving us a new table every month.

Having the ball just stop dead on the flipper multiple times seemed a bit unrealistic to me, but hey.

 

[Reagan Dow]

New physics makes a pretty boring table (Xenon) phenomenal!!!

So what's the verdict? Are the new physics on all the tables or Xenon only? Release notes suggest only Xenon. Can't play at the moment and just wondering...

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

It's Xenon only for now. Eventually it'll be applied to all tables.

 

[Markus]

It is fun, but it feels a bit too easy to do a live catch.
On a real table it is much more difficult in my opinion.

 

[eddiec]

I agree with Reagan Dow, I've played real Xenon tables and they're pretty dull but the new physics make it a lot more fun.

Having the ball just stop dead on the flipper multiple times seemed a bit unrealistic to me, but hey.

This is what worries me, especially since I could never have done that on an actual pinball table at my (pathetic) level of play skill.

 

[karl]

It will never be even close to the real thing . In the digital world you will always be able to predict what is going on.

My counterparts is other digital pinball apps, and in that regard, this is a brand new morning for Farsight

OK the improved responsiveness of DX11 must have tricked me. With DX9 I could never play Fullscreen, only windowed. Now lag seems all but eliminated with DX11. DX11 makes it feel like a new game for me. I just wish we will get proper 1280x1920 support soon.
I agree catching the Ball in Xenon is a bit artificial.

 

[Biff]

You mean 1200x1920? That's 10:16.
JPelter used to talk about support for 16:10 screens ... but I have 16:9.

 

[Xanija]

Can't wait to get this on all tables!

 

[Metalzoic]

Definitely a huge improvement. The crime would be not getting all tables equal as quickly as possible.

 

[rottenrobert13]

I think it's AWESOME!!!!!! I didn't know they even made the change with Xenon and when I did a live catch the first time I thought something was wrong with the game. Like a bug or something. But I was able to do it a few more times. Omg mind blown! I think its a good balance of NOT always being able to do it vs. being able to. Keep it up Farsight

 

[DopedToInfinity]

Very very awesome! ��
