![]() ![]() It's not perfect, and some things are still lacking (like Pro version functionality, customized room lighting, and general slowness moving between menus), but the newer version is heads and tails between the crap they originally put out. But the lobby has improved-the speed switching between tables is much faster and the colors really pop. I didn't look at the other games because I have them already. It's a tough game to reproduce because there are so many different "areas' and narrow-tunnel shots to encounter, but it is fun. The colors pop so much it's like entering a circus. It's actually now fun to play.ĪC/DC also looks great as well. The physics have improved a bit-ball is not as lightning fast as it was before. The fuzziness, lack of definition are gone, and you can now actually SEE the ball. The playfield lighting overall is now great. Star Trek in particular now looks great, almost as good as PA's best Williams tables, almost unrecognizable from the terrible first release. But, between then and now there have been at least two updates to the engine, and presumably the games, and to be fair to both Stern and Farsight, both are at least 80% better now. I posted this 10 days ago after buying the initial release and pack #1. Everything about this stinks except the audio, which does a good job of playing the music and callouts from the pin, although a bit too quiet for my taste. Physics are terrible: the ball moves much too fast, bounces are totally unrealistic. ![]() The graphics look like third-rate virtual pin versions-fuzzy, 2-dimensional, blocky. Dark as hell, shots hard to see, the ball is almost invisible. The "lobby" interface where games are selected is ugly and painfully slow. None of these games offers the "pro" coin door open feature (I imagine that will come out later, at an additional cost). Based on this rendition I'd love to find a real ST some day. It's an excellent rendition of a rather obscure game. ![]() Starship Troopers is the same version available on the regular PWA, which I own. Ripley's is essentially the same one that's been around since the PS3 version. But the PF still looks crowded and confusing. Playfied is brighter, and audio is very good. Everything about this stinks except the audio, which does a good job of playing the music and callouts from the pin, although a bit too quiet for my taste.ĪC/DC Premium is a little bit better. And the PS4 regular versions offer different "room" lighting schemes.īut the Stern version? Putrid. And the regular PA versions offer "pro" features that let you modify "coin box open" features. Many of the games from the first two seasons are great-Scared Stiff, ST:TNG, Totan, MM, even Monster Bash give you a good feeling for the games, even if the physics and mechanics aren't the best. So, I got this and bought Game Pack #1 for PS4, which has ST Pro, AC/DC Premium, Ripley's Believe it or Not (which I already have from regular PA) and Starship Troopers (ditto).Īll I can say is.wow, what a piece of crap. ![]()
