Generously, the developers have provided the Sorcerer’s Lair table for free to players who download the Zen Pinball 2 framework. Zombies, Epic Quest, Paranormal, and Earth Defense machines. For players who have already purchased Zen tables, the PS4 version allows a complimentary import of nineteen different tables, which cover the most essential content- from the two Star Wars collections, the Marvel Pinball sets, the new Doctor Strange table, as well as the Plants vs. But other than this improvement, the title plays the same- flaunting a proficient physics system and elevated degree of responsiveness.įortunately, the modicum of change isn’t as detrimental as it first sounds. In execution, the increase in fidelity will help players discern the complex elements of the playfield (even more when using Zen Pinball’s stereoscopic option on 3D displays). The game maintains its silky smooth, unwavering sixty frame-per-second delivery and adept physics modeling, while updating the output resolution to 1080p. For players who have already score-chased their way through across the console, portable, or PC versions, the adaptation will likely only offer slight improvement. Instead, the downloadable title seeks to provide the definitive version of Zen’s handiwork. The PS4 iteration of Zen Pinball 2 makes no attempt to drastically transform the studio’s ambitions. As such, it’s not unusual to see Boba Fett jetting around above the playfield or to witness Crazy Dave freewheeling across the drain lane. Since developer Zen Studios doesn’t try to replicate real-world machines, their output commonly shirks conventional table design. Alternatively, Zen Pinball 2 constructs original tables based around popular IPs like Star Wars or Plants vs. The Pinball Arcade aims to duplicate the gameplay of actual machines, fastidiously recreating the nuances exhibited by tables such as The Twilight Zone or Pin*Bot. Remarkably, the two games take radically different approaches to the beloved pastime.
Although the PlayStation 4’s software library is still in an embryonic stage, Sony’s new system already has two pinball titles in its lineup.
