STERN Pinball Arcade is now live on PSN (for the PS4)

[Heretic]

its no secret that farsight as tuned the gameplay to be more accessible....imnot sure what peoples actual expectations for spa were? its an offshoot that enabled access to sterns modern tables its not tpa2. nobody is being forced to rebuy anything. people moan about ps4 being behind then they moan about getting the new sterns before anyone else(the gearvr doesnt really count). enjoy ffs, id hate to go to a resurant with some of you lol, theyd piss in the food

Well said 'airy, if I hadn't just dropped $250 on a new graphics card I'd be tempted to get a PS4 right now.

Has anyone bought any table packs for this?
If so does it add trophy support for the table(s).

 

[big_kick]

star trek is so fun. just love the flow. ive only been playing 3-5 games a night. is there a strategy thread yet?

I need forums for Mustang, AC/DC, and Star Trek.
Mods usually add forums when TPA gets new tables but they have not added new forums for SPA exclusive tables.

physics can be improved - example of pro pinball ultra demonstrated that.

And like the amount of times a ball has gone backwards down a ramp and like magic rolls off on some impossible angle. I mean, some ramps are lined up so they potentially drain the ball down the middle if the ball rolls backwards, that being the price you pay for miss judging the pace of the ball or not hitting it on target enough...

If so can you please enlighten us on what exactly paying for the table changes from what you can already play.

Not sure what you mean. Is there a demo mode?

My guess is that it adds trophy support for the table(s) as well as letting you achieve all of the standard and wizard goals. All of the tables besides Frankenstein seem to be restricting the ability to get the SKILL SHOT standard goal. Perhaps this was to keep people from getting it and then not being able to unlock the "all standard goals" trophy later on if you were to purchase the table.

None of the tables have trophies except Frankenstein.

Nope! Just the free the one free table.

Star Trek doesn't have the SKILL SHOT standard goal and I got all standard goals of Star Trek. Then wizard goals are unlocked.

The issue seems to be that from the above people think you can play tables other-than-Frankenstein for fee, but not set goals on them. In the Canadian version, you can only play Frankenstein. The others when you press X go to "Buy Table" or "Buy Table Pack", nothing else.

Besides there's a special SPA forum now:

All 10 of them. I bought both table packs.

The new table's goals are listed here:
http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/12125-Master-List-of-Table-Goals
The goals for the older tables are unchanged from TPA.

edit: Just confirmed only Frankenstein is free. If you can play the other tables you must have bought them.

 

[spoonman]

Do you still only see trophies for Frankenstein?

 

[big_kick]

From PSNProfiles, there are no trophies except for Frankenstein now.
If FS add new trophies for DLC, added trophies are showed by trophies list sites like PSNP.

 

[djb5f1]

The only trophies are for the free Frankenstein table. No trophies for any of the other DLC tables, which is bizarre.

Do you still only see trophies for Frankenstein?

I find this strange as well. If they were to have trophies, you'd think they would have already appeared by now since the tables have long been live.

Farsight never understood trophies, still no idea what they were thinking when they cut TPA short at season 1 on ps4. I would have bought a lot more tables if there were trophies. Even the PS3 version went through season 2. No rhyme or reason to it.

 

[Gorgar]

Hopefully the update supposedly submitted on Wednesday to add a lightning my slider also includes trophy support for some DLC.

As long as the discussion is purely Playstation 4-related, it's fine to have the thread here.

 

[IGoFirstIndy]

picked up the Star Trek & AC/DC two pack.

almost instantly regretted it.

Star Trek is way too dark. you can't see the back half of the table. Graphics look the same as TPA on my iPad air.

Incredibly disappointed.

Feels like a complete rush job.
