Zaccaria Pinball - Update v1.6

[night]

..or is it usually the case that they tell you exactly what's coming? Just curious...

This.

Quick question for those of you who have been around for previous Zaccaria updates: do they usually include fixes that aren't documented in the release notes for the update or is it usually the case that they tell you exactly what's coming? Just curious...

Their release notes are usually quite thorough and they let you know the table and all the bug fixes, etc. that are to be released ahead of time as well. It's a very good system, in my opinion.

Yes, that's the way to be. If you're familiar with Gran Turismo on the PS3, every time there's an update for the game there soon appears a thread on the GT forum called "undocumented changes" in which people identify and debate the reality of things they "think" may have changed. The problem is, there actually ARE some undocumented features in every update for Polyphony Digital...

Sounds a bit like the PS3 section of this forum....

Yeah, the nudge system they use now is a miss for me too. I'd like a touch nudge system similiar to TPA's.

Yes, even just a four quadrant touch based system would be great. Two small sections at the bottom of the screen for flippers and the top two sections for nudging. I would keep the line closer to the bottom so you don't have to move your fingers too far.

Update is out.

227 MB is a hefty download for people on a mobile plan. I think I would rather buy feature complete (no in-apps) single table releases for 2.50€ each.

 

[Lord Boron]

Not to mention people on DSL. Going on 25 min and still downloading..... I wish they would have the tables as separate downloads like TPA.

Blackbelt looks and plays excellent. And this table also demonstrates the new metal textures ASK has been working on, very well done. Needs some more playtime on Blackbelt.

Requests:

Please remove the anoying flashing bonus time alert!! What is that all about? I don't know if I should focus on the ball or on the alert, please make it a lot smaller!

Agreed. It was a small logo under the display with the previous version. I was fine with that. Why does it need to be flashing in HUGE letters now like the game's going to explode when the counter reaches zero?

Black Belt may be the prettiest table in the game. Really good looking. Seems to play pretty well too. Do any of the Zaccaria tables have multiball? I guess not since I've never gotten it...

With any of the cameras that have the table scrolling at all there seems to be some stuttering on my ipad2 and mini.

I agree about the "game time bonus" banner. That has to go...

i been away for a few days and see i am behind on events. well the good news is if i check my iPad there should be a waiting update to download . all looked good i guess i wont be waiting long to play.

Are there any Zac tables with just dud artwork? I seem to love the look of every table. They are just so darn colorful and alive. Was the art all done by the same designer?
The ASK team also makes them look beautiful, which adds so much to the experience.

Now start the countdown clock for the release next Friday.

As far as I know, all of the artwork for Zaccaria tables was by Lorenzo Rimondini, but he might not have done every one and of course there's no shortage of good artists in Italy.

I certainly agree they do look very distinctive and are all lovely. Regardless of the theme of the table they all have a kind of 'fairy-tale psychedelia' appearance with a classical edge which makes them quite different from the typical 'truckful-of-comic-books-crashes-into-a-Las Vegas-casino' look of American tables, which I love too of course.

According to ipdb.org the only two Zaccaria games to have multiball (2 ball) are Star's Phoenix and New Star's Phoenix from 1987. These are basically the same table with some minor changes like artwork.

Request, PLEASE fix issue on Robot, where the ball doesn't get all the way through the hole to make the little robots rise, it's not working as it should!

Blackbelt plays excellent, physics feel somehow very good on this table, compliments!!

 

[dagwood]

I love the sounds on the new table, it also plays really well

 

[luvthatapex]

Great to see Blackbelt again even thought its my LEAST favorite zaccaria game. I couldn't wait to get rid of it.
The table plays fine and looks great in this sim, much better than in real life 9 tables and counting, great times for us zaccaria fans.

but ...... that HUGE extra time words are just Anoying ! on IPad that looks HUGE ... if it is nescessary for some players , please just give the option to turn it OFF !

+1

The flashing of the words is one thing, but that font-size..... it's so BIG! The size used to be perfect, now it looks like a Las Vegas neon sign, hate it, hate it!!!
