[QUOTE="francis247uk, post: 283835, member: 820"] Now that the Williams Pinball Tables have been out a while, I'm interested to know what everyone would suggest as improvements to Pinball FX3, specifically around further enhancing the user experience of the Williams tables in particular. For me, so far I can think of the following suggestions, in no particular order of priority or importance: [LIST] [*] When you select a Williams table from the regular PFX3 table select screen, the music is the same regardless of which table you choose, on the main table screen and then again on the "Single Player & Hotseat" screen. I think it may be better if it was the theme music from the table you'd selected (as per TPA) on both of these screens - similar to when you currently pause the table in-game for example? [*] When you get a game over and finish a game, PFX3 exits back to the classic single player results screen, and the generic music. It would be better if it either stayed with the table and overlayed the results with the regular table music/sfx, or if it had to exit back to classic single player results screen, it would be better if the music related to the table? [*] It would be good if there was a choice of different locations/backgrounds you could play the game in - don't get me wrong, I do like the Williams room we already get, but it might be nice to have a bit more variety, for example like the Zaccaria app - if that's too much work, perhaps the option to turn the environment lights down a bit so the focus is more on the Pinball table itself, rather than almost equal focus lighting wise on the table and the environment which we get currently? [*] If you are playing the game on a console/PC connected to a big TV, the Dot Matrix Size choice under Options> UI/Streaming are currently small, medium or large. This sounds like enough choice, however I often play in view 1 or 1w, and the large dot matrix option encroaches onto the table, and medium seems too small - I think medium needs to be larger than it is currently perhaps, but not so large that it covers any part of the table (ideally) - or the large option needs to be a tad smaller. [*] Bulb & Room Brightness options similar to TPA would be great (I know they're already aware of this) [*] For people that don't plan on buying any fantasy tables, perhaps something like the option to launch the game to a Williams pinball specific menu screen, rather than the regular PFX3 screen [*] On PS4/Xbox One, perhaps a more traditional pinball oriented icon & splash screen for the app, currently it's the 6 avatars from their own designed tables (very minor observation I know) [*] Playstation VR Support - I know it's a limited and niche market, but really want to try this for myself![/LIST] By the way, Williams on Pinball FX3 has been great so far already so if none of the above were implemented/taken on board, I'd still be very happy! - Keep up the great work Zen [/QUOTE]
