Post by: Sho Nuff on September 22, 2009, 01:23:13 AM: The only way they could fuck it up would be by assigning the flippers to the triggers (not the bumpers)

IGN and Gamespot both gave them high scores but they were written by people who were like "DURRR WHAT'S PINBALL IS THAT WHAT MY DAD USED TO PLAY BACK IN THE 1920S URR URRR"

Online leaderboards, LET'S GET IT ON

Post by: Bebpo on September 22, 2009, 12:40:42 PM: So like, is this the first game where the PS3 and X360 achievements are completely different? PS3 owners, like usual, get the shaft here as all the achievements are just "set high score on X table", whereas the X360 achievements are "accomplish all the goals on X table" which is way more creative and fun. Bizarre.

Also Amazon dropped the price of the PS3 version to $29.50 to match the X360 version at the same price. Yay, cancelled my Newegg order and will have this on thursday :D I used to actually own a Pinbot machine so I'm excited for the nostalgia

I'll chime in and say this is one of the few games that would benefit from HD visuals in a practical sense. It can be hard to make out the individual markers and signs in the Wii version.

Although I think it works better as a game you could run without putting a disc in.

What do you mean by "themes" sir?

BTW the playfield art absolutely pops at 1080p. Looks insane and shames the PS2/Wii versions. Whoever made this game clearly has a mega boner for pinball

$39.99

Willco, here are the themes:

Black Knight: The evil black knight has like taken over the village or something...fuck his shit up with insane multiball action on TWO DIFFERENT PLAYFIELDS AT ONCE OMG
Firepower: Aliens are attacking...fuck their shit up. Kind of cheesy, this one
Funhouse: You're at the carnival and Rudy the demonic puppet is all up in your face, so you've got to put him to sleep and then put your balls in his mouth
Gorgar: Few people realize that Robert E Howard's "Conan" books were originally "Gorgar" fanfiction. You're a barbarian with a hot wench and you're going up against the evil red demon known as Gorgar, who actually TALKS to you in a creepy synthesized voice. BEWARE OF THE PIT!
Pin*Bot: You've got to shoot a series of targets and fill in a grid so Pin*Bot's visor opens. Shoot the balls into his eyes and you give him LIFE!!! Then you will continue onward to the next planet because you're in space or something.
Space Shuttle: Easy table (probably not endorsed by NASA) where you've got to make the shuttle lift off and do missions. Big space shuttle toy in the middle of the board. I remember taping my die-cast Space Shuttle model onto my He-Man toy pinball table and pretend I was playing this game.
Taxi: My alltime favorite. Pick up Santa Claus, Gorbachev, Marilyn Monroe, Pin*Bot and Dracula and take them to...I don't know, the brothel or something. Cool interactive soundtrack and lots of voices, plus the double-crossover lanes. Just amazing.
Whirlwind: Oh no, the tornado's on its way to demolish the trailer park! When the whirlwind starts the creepy music starts playing and three spinners on the playfield start moving erratically to fuck with your ball. It's awesome.
Jive Time: Hippie shit, only fun if you're on weed.
Sorcerer: D&D theme at its finest. This one is really hard. There's a sorceror who keeps talking shit so you've got to cast lumos to make him shut up. Awesome art.
Medieval Madness: YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!! There's some evil guy in the castle and you've got to fuck his shit up. This is the most complex game in the package and there are something like eight billion lights on the playfield. I have absolutely no idea what is going on. This is new for the Xbox version.
Tales of the Arabian Knights: Haven't played this yet, new for Xbox. Something with a big blue genie toy in the middle of the playfield.
No Good Gofers: Haven't tried this either. Caddyshack theme. You know it's gotta be better than that shitty "Teed Off" table in the Gottleib Collection. Gottleib sucks butts.

Sadly there are no licensed tables like Twilight Zone or Addams Family (DAMN) because they're licensing nightmares :(

Doubtful. I don't think Crave would go through the hassle.

It would be awesome to have a collection with Simpsons Pinball Party, Addams Family, Twilight Zone, etc but I just don't see it happening, ever, with the amount of licensing crap you'd need to wade through.

I couldn't believe that deal-of-the-week; seems like a shitty move to pull on the launch week of a full retail title.

WOO! Way to split the buying dollars in an already niche market. Nice going! If this DotW had come out a month ago, it might have wet the appetite for pinball, increasing the overall market. The average joe is going to say, "Hm. US$40 vs. 10... I'll get the XBLA game."

Sho Nuff ranked #12 in the world at Black Knight, gotta get even higher tonight

Post by: demi on September 23, 2009, 06:48:57 PM: This game is more frustrating than any Hard difficulty I've played. Such bullshit losses. I made it all the way up to Space Shuttle and then I lose because one flick causes it to go into the outlane. All gone, start from scratch. I can only play Gorgar for so many times without going fucking insane. And here I thought the achievements would be easy. I dont even know how to activate any of the goals.

Sorcerer is fucking awful. That's my least played bored. Way too damn hard, though I will get on inexplicable rolls with it sometimes. Jive Time is shit too but it's shitty in a retro way.

-Why is there no LOOK AT THE TABLE mode? Since a lot of the tables have all kinds of cool things written on the board it'd be nice if you could take your time and just move around the table model and check out the machine from all different angles like you could IN REAL LIFE

-On some of the machines I'm not really satisfied with any of the camera modes. Like with Arabian Nights. The zoomed out ones make everything look so small and the zoomed in angle ones look weird.

Otherwise digging it. Gorgar kinda sucks.

I'd have a great first ball and then get like 5k on the next two and it felt like it was totally random and out of my control.

Well the tutorial tells you what you need to know with a guided tour of each table. As far as people bitching about standard pinball machine antics, these machines were designed to eat your quarters. Its a good re-creation as far as I'm concerned!

Oh, look you just got a bunch of shitty outlanes off the bat because of random luck and used up your 3 tries; Goodbye, you've just wasted 40 mins of time for nothing.

Post by: Bebpo on September 27, 2009, 05:17:28 AM: wowwww

I suck at Gorgar. Even after 2 days of playing it, my highest is like 300k. I get a lot of bounces off the bumpers right above the flippers that knock it to the outlanes.

And I need to learn Taxi scoring. I did it once and I didn't get very much.
Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: demi on September 27, 2009, 05:23:10 AM: For Taxi, you can manipulate the C A B with the flippers, and since the ball sometimes bounces back and forth through one letter, you can rack up the multiplier and activate Extra Ball (providing you can hit the shot, its really easy to get). It's also really easy to get multiball going. Just focus on doing loopdeloops, it's very easy to go through the motion.

I'm trying to do the goal of "Get a Special in Joyride" which is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged since its a game of chance and no skill.
Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: Bebpo on September 27, 2009, 09:33:03 PM: Did Black Knight & Space Shuttle. BK was annoying just because it's hard to get much points but HOLY CRAP IS SPACE SHUTTLE BULLSHIT. Going for high scores in the 2/3/4+ million is annoying as hell. the worst part of space shuttle is how it's designed so if the ball cleanly rolls off the floor below the bumpers it goes STRAIGHT INTO THE RIGHT OUTLANE. Between that and the multi-ball lock spots being hard to hit and to top it off I could never find the right timing to making the space shuttle ramp reliably on either side; yeah, so much luck and frustration. Ended up with 3.3 million run after an hour, but soooooo frustrating.
Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: demi on September 27, 2009, 10:14:02 PM: You need to learn to hold the ball with the flipper, it can save you a lot for when the ball is going haywire and you just want control. It's also great to set up easy shots that you know you can make. Space Shuttle is great for this.

For Black Knight, you can set up a 3-ball multi right from the start by holding the right flipper when you launch, which makes it flick off to the top, and from there one quick flick from the left makes it fly into the lock.

I did some more today - finished Whirlwind, Space Shuttle, and Taxi. Doing Sorcerer now, which is probably the worst table in the game.
Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: Bebpo on September 27, 2009, 10:32:51 PM: I hold a lot, but even held I can't reliably make the multi-ball locks or the space shuttle ramp in Space Shuttle. In the other boards I've played so far I can make the ball go where I want with a good reliability, but not SS, which is why SS was the hardest for me so far. Just kind of random luck shots.

Did Sorceror. Why do you hate it demi? I thought it was such a nice catch-your-breath table after the others I've done so far. It's reaaaaaaaaaaaaally easy outside spelling Sorceror. But even doing that a few times isn't insanely hard. Just takes a little luck not to get outlane stuff. I think my score was around 3-4 million.
Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: demi on September 27, 2009, 10:37:01 PM: Because the outlanes are wider than a blown out anus
Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: Bebpo on September 29, 2009, 07:51:26 PM: Did Pinbot, don't really like the table that much. You can't do much when the visor is closed and it's all about hoping to get the visor open quick and keep multi-ball going. Advancing planets also sucks. The drop targets aren't super easy to hit and I never hit the left flipper return lane -> bell advancement once in 30 mins of playing. Dunno why I ever bought the table back in the day. Probably cause it was cheap. I think we got it for <$200.

Also sorta of really not happy that because Crave's server was down when I did Black Knight, Space Shuttle, and Sorceror last time, none of my scores got uploaded to the leaderboard and it doesn't seem like there's anyway to get them to upload now. Not like they were top20 material scores, but they were decent (3 million, 3.6 million, 3.9 million respectively) and it's lame not to have them on the board. :\
Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: Bebpo on September 30, 2009, 01:59:33 AM: I tried the Williams Challenge

1st try, died on Taxi
2nd try, died on Pinbot
3rd try, died on Gorgar (WTF)
4th try, beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat it

Had sooo many close scares where I was on my last continue for that table. Like in Firestorm where I got 197k on my first try (you need 200k) and then failed my 2nd and was going to be really ticked if I died on my 3rd but I passed it on the last ball. Then MEDIEVAL MADNESS which you needed 15 million and I'd never played the table before and my first two tries were like 5-9 million and since it was like AN HOUR INTO THE CHALLENGE and the 2nd to last table I was sweating bullets. Then on my 3rd try I just kept going and going and going on my first ball. Ended up with 87 million, lol. Then beat Golfer with 9 million on my first try, yay.

Then I did all the goals and high score for Jive Time. Table is boring, have to be good at tilt and use it correctly to do decently on that table, but it was kind of fun. After finishing that I got my LAST TROPHY.

First PS3 game I've 100%'d in trophies. SO SATISFYING.

I've still got 6 tables to do the goals for though, so gonna keep playing. Taxi, Whirlwind, Funhouse, Medieval Madness, Arabian Nights, and Gopher. Looking forward to learning those tables in depth.

I would say this is tied with Batman for GoTY, but I think they could've done a few minor things to make it a better game:
1. FRIENDS FILTER IN LEADBOARDS
2. Make your own camera angle; just give you a 3d camera to move around the board and place it down and it'd be CUSTOM1
3. Checkpoints along the Williams Challenge
4. Model Viewer mode where you can move around the table and look at it
5. Better default angles for a few like Arabian nights

Still, I love this game.

Post by: Bebpo on October 01, 2009, 04:35:52 AM: Did Taxi, was ok. Enjoy the table but I suck at getting Gorbi

Did Whirlwind and OMFG I WANT TO BREAK THE GAME IN TWO PIECES AND NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN. I can do fine on the table and score like 12 million+, but the fucking goal where you have to get ALL THREE UPPER JETS FLASHING AND THEN HIT DROP TARGET. WORST GOAL EVER.

-I get ACTIVATE UPPER JETS on the roll thing about 1/7 times
-Then I get it in the yellow cellar to activate it before it rolls to another bonus maybe 1/10 times
-The chance of hitting the drop target before dying is about 1/10 times

So yeah, it's like I have a 1/100 chance of pulling this off. I spent 2 hours straight on this SINGLE GOAL and I just can't fucking do it. It's driving me crazy and I better move on to the next table or I'm just going to give up on the game permanently at this point since this goal is so frustrating.

Post by: Bebpo on October 01, 2009, 02:18:44 PM: Spent another 30 mins this morning on that Whirlwind goal and finally GOT IT. The problem imo is that the detection on the upper spot target is TERRIBLE. I hit it so many times and it wouldn't register most of them. Was just a matter of patience and luck :( At least I know Whirlwind like the back of my hand now. Got about 20 million on my first game this morning.

You know, when I can rank 4th place in the PS3 world with 103 million in Arabian Nights and still NOT BE ABLE TO FINISH A BASIC GOAL OF THAT TABLE you know the goal is BS TOTAL.

Activating Harem multiball....wtf. First of all, the left ramp that goes to it is hardly ever leading to the harem bumpers area. 90% of the time it's just a tiger loop. Then you have to do that 5 times?!?? I played for an hour and never even got to the 3rd letter in HAREM.

Since I can't beat Rudy Gulp on Funhouse, or Activate Harem Multiball on Arabian Nights, I'm moving on to the last table of Gophers for me. If I finish that up I'll either spend HOURS and HOURS on those two goals or just say forget it and call the game done.

That's pretty good for SS. I hate that board! Age-wise I feel like everything from Whirlwind/Funhouse-era on is pretty easy to rack up a ton of points. Pre-that-era the tables are a lot tougher to keep going on.

Post by: Bebpo on October 06, 2009, 04:04:53 AM: Tried playing again tonight. Oh god, stress level max. I think I'm going to stick to the easy tables because the outlane and random ARGH moments on some of the older tables make me RAGE. You guys do great in Pinbot. I hate that table. Once it's in the bumpers it's like BUMPERS OF FAITH with how many times it shoots the ball into the outlane >_<

on the funhouse machine there is a big sign that says PUT YOUR BALLS IN RUDY'S MOUTH

where is Funspot? PHoF is slightly ghetto but the tables are immaculate. There is a cranky old man in an apron who does maintainance, he looks like the shopkeeper in Oregon Trail

Title: Re: Williams Pinball 360: GAME OF THE FOREVER, SEPTEMBER 22ND (56k no)
Post by: Sho Nuff on October 07, 2009, 12:22:58 AM: Yeah. Most tables are fifty cents and are five balls. The more recent tables are 75 cents. They are all about you playing the tables, plus you have the old guy in the apron going around doing nonstop maintainance. I only got to spend about an hour but I literally could have gone all day in there... Lord knows it's a better entertainment value than 90% of the other stuff in Vegas.

Gotlieb Hall of Fame Collection (previously released on PSP/Wii) HD for XBLA. Tables now all super high-res HD replicas and I'd be surprised if there wasn't some tuning to get the gameplay to be on par with Williams or better. Plus Achievements and leaderboards and stuff.

:)

oh and it comes out next month ;)

Post by: Cravis on December 13, 2010, 04:38:43 PM: WB should release a pinball platform like Pinball FX and start release Williams/Midway tables. Some of the licenses for the movie based tables should be pretty inexpensive. I'd kill to have the Addams Family, Terminator 2, Twilight Zone, and Creature from the Black Lagoon.

The way I see it, it's better than nothing and maybe they'll be more fun with some extra development time, better physics/challenges and great graphics.

Plus I played the psp version all of about 30 mins total, so this will be all new to me.

I'm guessing Williams, despite being awesome, was a flop and these guys can't get funding to do a new pinball game. It's been years now and their next game is a port/upgrade? Which is sad because the Pinball FX/Zen Pinball guys despite being not as good, seem to be thriving. Imagine if the Marvel Pinball had made their deal with the Williams guys instead of the Pinball FX guys :|
