Ended up giving in and getting the PS4 version of Season 1. I think my plan is to main on PC (pick up seasons during sales) but also play on PS4 for the "cool lighting"
Pros of PS4 version:
+3 lighting modes: A) Neutral - Looks kind of like the PC version but a little more bland low-contrast/color looking. Don't see the point usually. B) Dark - nighttime mode with the lights from the game illuminating everything. This isn't mind-blowing or anything but it can be pretty fun and is the preferred way I'm playing a lot of the tables like Black Holes. 3) BRIGHT - Very high contrast/colorful - Looks like the PC versions but with a blast of contrast/color to make it look more like the IOS version. I think PC looks better here, but this is pretty close and good for stages that don't look great dark and you want to see.
+Controls are fine. THOUGH I ALREADY BUSTED MY FREAKING $60 DUAL SHOCK 4 PLAYING THIS. All that clicking L1/R1 has made my R1 start sticking and I'm afraid it'll only get worse and the controller will be useless. Gonna see if I can return it since it's only like 33 days since launch. Probably can't; sigh modern hardware.
+Looks & Runs good no lag. No lag or minimal, looks 1080/60fps.
CONS:
-The sound is fucking awful. Apparently they accidently had it use the sound files from the compressed IOS version so you get like 8-bit audio lol. It's really bad and I'm keeping the sound low for now. They say they'll patch this back to normal soon.
-No rumble/vibration. Coming from the PC version with a X360 controller it's noticable and does hurt the immersion and feel of the controls. Again they are aware and will patch this.
-Leaderboards are terrible. Can't filter by friendslist...but guess what? You can't in the PC version either so they both lose and there's no win here. Fucking BS! Half the fun of Pinball is comparing scores with your friends and trying to beat their highest scores.
-Can't customize controls. This doesn't bother me, but apparently some people want to use the triggers for the flippers. Farsight is aware and will patch this in.
-Menus/interface - the same and still sucks
-Glitches - same old, same old. Only had one minor one on TOTAN where it didn't realize I'd already done the skill shot and was playing the game, but w/e we are used to this here.
It's fun and a solid alternative to the PC version. If they ever patch the lighting modes in the PC version I'll drop the PS4 side and stick with PC. But since I like the game SO MUCH despite all the crap, I don't feel too horrible about double dip supporting them on both PC & PS4. Well Triple Dip for like $20-30 since I bought the first 5 packs or so on PS3.
