Please overhaul the low res tables !

[T@X]

The whole point is: will we get -at least- upgraded those unbearable low-res tables ? Those really pain my eyes to look at. They have been sitting there in these conditions for so long...

Isn't it time for an overhaul of the worst of the first seasons going up to fourth ?
Can we get a reply if this at least is being considered ?

Circus Voltaire , Victory, El Dorado, Harley Davidson are coming to my mind at the moment but there are many more..

4K textures and artworks, s to much to ask ?
For now let's leave alone the software that is begging itself a new engine and interfaace from years, but those ugly looking assets can get revorked at some point ?


Thanks

Oh and by the way, Ghostbusters is unplayable/stuttery for me in TPA , while being absolutey flawless in the stern pinball arcade ! (GTX1080TI)

Update:

Like Zen did at every version: update the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ assets. FX3 looks gorgeus.
Like every persistent simulation does today.
For example racing simulations and flight simulations that have a long-time running legacy, keep their assets and engines updated to the modern era. (iracing,DCS world) and many more-

It's common practice especially when u keep selling those packs at premium price tags; quality must stay updated and consistent.

They should keep the tables updated to look modern.
Those assets and artworks still look outdated and win98-ish till the 3-4 season: but specially some tables on the first and second season.

I'll tell you, it's a shame that crucial tables like judgement day and those monsters from the first season still have this outdated look in 2017, while Farsight has clearly improved the overall quality of their latest seasons dlcs.

If you think about it , even a table from 1960-70 included in season 5-6-7 looks much better than these blurry-ish super-important machines from the first 2 seasons.

All the playfields, artworks, lights and playfield elements look blurry, colors are washed out, and the text is horribly low-res all over the place.

These machines are glorious and deserve to be updated with complete 4k assets.
I hope this will happen in 2018.

Can we have a reply about this Farsight ?
Heck, i'll happily pay even a premium to see these machines from season 1-2 glorified as they deserve.

Ghostbusters runs fine for me on both Stern and Pinball Arcade in DX11 with a Ryzen 5 1600 and a GTX 1070.

[T@X]

Yes amazing !

I just purchased this software. I am running it on DX11 on a strong PC rig and the graphics seem to be good, but then I have low standards when it comes to graphics so my comment isn't worth any. The software runs fine for me overall- no slowdowns, crashes, issues. One thing though that I have noticed is that the ball speed is a bit slow compared to real pinball machines. I wish the ball speed was a bit faster, with some weight.

I have 99% of the pins, save Season 7, on the Vita (they stopped making pins for it after season 6) and I am moving them all to PC as the Vita suffers from a battery issue thus making it harder to play games on it.

Anyway, coming from the Vita, the pins on PC look amazing to me. I don't see anything low quality about the models and graphical quality. It looks great, and the lighting system (it's pretty much non existent on the Vita) makes the PC version look really great. It's like playing a brand new pinball game IMO.

your forgot to speak about the quality of the sound of the tables. For example no stereo sound in any table.

[T@X]

Best !

Guys, the quality is very inconsistent. Some of the table's artworks are unbearably low resolution and nobody fixed them in years. Go check on Victory or Circus Voltaire and come back with an insight. Pay attention when you start the tables, do NOT start the game, let the camera move and zoom on the tables and enjoy !

@misionsos - yep !

Well yeah those were the very early tables. The newer tables are much better quality. Not sure how you can say that the newer tables have low 3d models. Thats just not the case.

To me Pinball Arcade is a very high quality product. The tables are recreated in good detail and the ball reacts like I think it should.

Also not many companies out their seem willing to do simulations of real life pinball tables. I suppose because it costs them a lot of money to buy the license to these real tables.

A lot of pinball tables only had mono sound in real life.

Great !

Sure, go check zaccaria, then open ghostbusters.

I could not find any pro menu look for ghostbusters. However in Pistol Poker Crow does a good job of looking at the table. Close up.

I really like how they made pistol Poker it's a well done table that shows that they should stop making tables after the end of season seven and overhaul alot of the othersOldies that are really, really unbearable to look at.

[The Space Ferret]

I guess you can't please everyone, but the tables (from what I've played) look just fine to me. Even if other 'competing' games have better graphics, I still will play TPA more regardless, because it has all the pins I actually want to play.

Also, maybe people shouldn't be such a stickler for graphics. I play games to have fun and enjoy myself. I am not bothered what the graphical quality is, whether they're super high res models or stick figures. As long as game itself is good, then I am happy.

[T@X]

Sure

Well this has become a bit of an odd thread.

[Sgt. Murtaugh]

I played a lot of tables growing up all the way through college. They bring back so many memories. Plus it's a hell of a lot cheaper than trying to buy all these tables irl. Great job! and thanks for the continued support. Also is there a chance at getting a license for the Data East tables? I would love to play Star Wars and Lethal Weapon!!!

[baddog993]

Yeah I remember when I thought the series of Pro Pinball was the pinnacle. It was only 3 seperate tables. Now we have an abundance of riches when it comes to pinball games on the PC.
