Thank you so much @Zen Studios for the VR NEWS!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pinball BIG PROJECT in VR woooooww ... Bring it on!!!
Medieval madness in vr would be soooo dope
F* yeah!
Pinball and VR are the perfect combination!
Will you also do conversions for psvr2???
Thanks for addressing the Williams Tables, I know a lot of us in the community have been curious about Williams and its glad to see it finally addressed, Thanks Zen!
I think we ALL been wondering about Williams for a while now! Least now we have answers and a really good update.
I'll be happy for them to continue supporting the Williams IP, as long as they make use of it. I know Terminator 2 is currently being requested, and rightfully so, as that was a another great table, which was also featured in The Pinball Arcade as a crowdfunded table.
Happy to hear Williams tables are coming, though sounds like it may be a while. There are still A LOT of Williams tables that could be ported over (that used to be on Pinball Arcade). Hope you guys can let us know which ones are coming this year sooner than later.
Also, please look into a premium re-release of your Universal original tables with the iconic movie music. I'd gladly pay extra/rebuy tables like Jaws, ET, Back to the Future, etc. if they had the correct music.
Yes, there are some great tables we still need to do. We are working on bringing more!
I agree, I wont buy the Universal tables as they are like knock offs without the themes. I would pay if they did include them though.
Awesome update, thanks guys! Can't wait to try these out.
I’m glad VR is on the way. Only 3 Williams tables at the end of the year is disappointing, but I’m glad they’re coming. Thanks for updating us pinheads.
Yes, after playing PFX VR its hard to go back to flat pinball! I only hope they aren't just releasing this for the Meta Quest platforms. I prefer playing on the PSVR2.
Some great projects underway, thank you for playing with us!
Is there any chance you can be honest with us and let us know if your VR plans also include the PlayStation VR 2, on the PS5? Thanks!
Yes, I also would prefer to play PFX on the Psvr2 too.
No word on flipper lag challenges and resolution for the physical AtGames 4K pinball machines?
The AtGames community are eagerly waiting for more tables, especially Pinball M. But, we want them to run properly.
We are actively collaborating with AtGames with Google and Epic Games experts to find some kind of remedy for this!
VR, more Williams tables, Texas, chainsaw massacre,, TV Classics, this is the best show ever!!
Thanks so much, you guys, for reassuring us that more Williams tables are on their way. I'm disappointed it'll still be 6-7 months away, and also just three tables, but I'm also very excited!
I'm also thrilled about the VR announcement--I would imagine it'll be the very best way to experience digital pinball! It is disheartening, though, that it's Meta and not PSVR. Yet another platform we'll have to buy all our tables all over again for. I'm holding out hope that it'll come to PSVR someday!
Lastly, I'm still very much excited about Xena Pinball!! May 16th can't come soon enough!!
I'm also hoping this "Meta deal" also includes PSVR 2. I won't be buying a Quest any time soon. Hopefully it's just a timed exclusive, if exclusive at all.
Sure thing, we are working to bring more Williams as well! Glad you are looking forward for VR - platform announcements will come in the future
@@ZenStudios Thanks, Zen!!
YEAAAH!!! SUPER LEAGUE FOOTBALL FINALLY!!! THANKS FOR THE UPDATE !!!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre looks awesome! Can't wait for Xena! Keep em coming!
We do have a nice selection of themes coming up this year!
Good luck with Pinball M after purchasing Texas Chainsaw because since I purchased it I made it to level 25 and got new rewards for all tables and every time I try to purchase them I get blue error screen on my PS 4 😡 it crashes after I purchase 1-3 things every time! And I deleted it and re- download it unplugged my PS 4 for a little while, rebuilt the database and same outcome every time 😡 I'd demand my money back but you can't get ahold of a human being at Sony! It's ridiculous the money I've put into Zen to have to deal with this 🤬 Hope you had or have better luck with it than I did ✌️
Can't wait for the new VR game
UEVR makes Williams tables playable in VR now.
Thanks Shawn here….. finally a release date for Texas Chainsaw table❤️
Yeah!!
i was also wondering about this, ever since i saw the video ages ago!! looks epic! I cant wait.
THANK YOU, ZEN!!! More VR content -- finally! I thought you had abandoned the platform, which drove me nuts since VR is, without question, THE best pinball experience rivaling real life tables. I am one of those voices who simply no longer plays 2D pinball since picking up a Quest II and playing VR. I bought this platform to play VR Zen pinball -- literally. I have all 20 Zen tables available in VR and will buy any new VR content day one. But I'm especially psyched about Williams VR. Take my money. FWIW (probably not a lot) here's my Williams VR wishilist: Junk Yard, Hurricane, Space Station, Twilight Zone, not part of your current catalog but Centaur, not part of your current catalog but Space Shuttle, (ditto) Fire Power, Pinbot. While I think your designers do a terrific job most of the time and I'm content with the Zen style of table design and enjoy them immensely, there's just something about the old real-world tables. While I have your "ear" here's a request that will go unheeded but I'll say it anyway... Would LOVE a minimalist, old-old school EM table in VR with maybe a card theme and banks of drop targets. Something like the Williams equivalent of a Jack's Open, or Big Shot, or El Dorado. Also -- if I may, since I'm on a rant here, just a suggestion to your designers -- maybe fewer ramps and more drop targets? Also, please make these new VR tables available in Quest 2 not "just" Quest 3. This news made my day and thank you to your talented team for keeping pinball alive and well in the digital age.
Best news of the year ! The return of the VR Pinball experience !
For the best quality i hope on PSVR 2 !!! ?
🙏🙏🙏
I'm also hoping for PSVR 2. Its the best VR gaming experience for the money.
Man I had a really rough week guys and this really turned it around , really great news all around very excited , just knowing the Williams three pack is coming eases my mind the bigger licensed ones potentially more for next year makes me feel positive about tableside Terminator or Dracula making their return . Maybe Even Elvira.
I’m excited switch got some love , also excited to see the new pinball hall
Glad we could make a however small impact on your well-being! Thank you for playing with us!
Dracula would be AWESOME
Said this on two other videos. Really like the new lighting and reflections on the pinball itself, seen on Pacific Rim. Please bring that to the previous tables on FX! Love the attention to detail!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre has the new ball look, too.
Nice, Tomi our Art Director will love this feedback!
All sorts of great news across the board. Keep it going!
Pinball FX 2 VR was mind-blowing, because it had PC graphics and the graphics were very similar to the flat PC version. Star Wars Pinball VR was a disaster, because it had Quest graphics and the tables looked like crap. Meta or not Meta, I hope this new VR game will have PC VR and PS VR2 version with PC graphics, not Quest...
I too am hoping for PC versions, but you should try the quest Star Wars version via "Quest games Optimizer" it increases the resolution massively.
Ditching the coins was a GOOD move. Just give us quality tables to be purchased at a fair price. ✅ However, I was sad to hear "we are teaming up with META, for VR". I Assume this means that you won't be supporting the PSVR 2 fans? This would be really awful news for those of us who have been supportive and buying all of the PSVR Pinball FX titles thus far. I don't dislike the Quest, but I feel the PSVR 2 is the choice for those of us who want to game in VR, where as the Meta Quest is more about casual VR consumption.
The THREE things I want for Pinball FX... 1. MORE WILLIAMS Tables. 2. VR support.. PSVR 2, to be exact. PCVR support by way of PSVR2 is good too, but don't forget your PSN fans! And 3. Use the Pinball M (Mature) platform to release some R-Rated, or more mature oriented, and UNCENSORED tables. I'm thinking of the Elvira tables, and maybe the Playboy table (if that is even R Rated, by today's standards).MattH
I can't wait to hear more news about the VR project! Pinball FX 2 VR is still one of my favorite VR titles!! I'm even in the process of building my own pinball controller for even more immersion :D
Hi, good work on the VR but I need it for my PSVR2😅😢🤞🏻
Thank you so much Mr. Zen Studios for "Super League Football" on pinball FX i really appreciate it.
Hope in the future we will see "TITANIC and AVATAR" pinball.
That would be awesome!
I wanted Super League Football back ever since Pinball FX1. Can't wait for Texas Chainsaw Massacre as either! Great update!!
Woohoo!
Awesome update. I was just excited to hear the Super League Football was returning. And then to hear that it's going to be free for a week?!? Thanks Zen!!
What a great update! Can’t wait for all the new tables!
Pinball is my favorite way to get people into VR. No nausea issues and it just shows how much fun can be added by playing games in VR. It is the VR killer app, so I am not surprised Meta is getting in on this.
Please make the pinball shinier and more metallic looking like in PFX3.
Im gonna keep asking every video😁
Texas Chainsaw table looks cool!! Cant wait for Knight Rider though.
Another vote from me. It's improved since PinballFX first launched, but why can't we have some proper chrome shine!?
Take a closer look at the ball on Texas Chainsaw.
@@pinballwiz45b does look bit better but need it for all tables
I love you guys I have all tables on switch I can’t wait to may 16 and yes Williams table are very appreciated. I was surprised that there was 3 more Williams pinball on PS4 why not on switch ? Bravo for your Amazing Work
VR!
"we're partnering with meta"
oh.....nevermind. Sounds like I'll be sticking with UEVR injector which is fine with me.
Looking forward to the texas chainsaw massacre table.
I really don't like soccer or "football", but that table is fun, so looking forward to that as well.
Just out of my own curiosity. [ *FOR VR Pinball FANS* ] How many of you would prefer to play PFX on *(A)* PSVR 2 *(B)* Meta Quest or *(C)* HTC Vive. Please answer with either just a letter, or the platform name. Thanks! -Matt
HYPED FOR TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE!!!! Please, keep dropping more frequent content for Pinball M.! We need Mortal Kombat, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street, night of the living dead, etc. I can literally list 100+ tables for Pinball M. Let's go! Edited: THANK YOU for the free football table coming soon!
Can’t wait for May 16th. I’m a switch player and glad to hear you guys are excited to continued bringing tables to the switch along with updates,
Of course, Switch is a great place to play pinball
@@ZenStudiosalso, any plans to release all the tables for the switch version in the future?
Thanks for the free table! Great to actually hear a road map and news on Williams tables! Only thing i have left to ask is optimisation so lesser PC’s can run the FX games as well as they run FX3. Thanks again and keep up the good work ❤🎉
Thank you! We are always looking to improve performance, even from update to update even if it's a smaller update.
Good to hear. I can’t justify buying a top end PC for my cabinet when my basic one runs fx3 so well. I wish I could program the buttons from my series x to work on it! Could it be possible for the less powerful switch versions of the tables on FX to be available on PC?
Looks like VR will be a different game (like FX2 VR and Star Wars VR) and then we have to buy all the tables again?
Hope not😅
Our new VR project will be its own experience
@@ZenStudiosI bought all the tables in FX again with the promise FX would support VR in the future, but now you are going to sell it again as another game! Unbelievable!😡
@@pcraenme FX2 VR would like a word with you. Third parties typically consider VR a separate entity, unlike elsewhere.
@@pinballwiz45b My biggest hobby on PC is Sim Racing. I have never seen these games having separate releases for desktop and VR. E.g. Assetto Corsa, AMS2, rFactor 2, ACC, and more… even the latest F1 games from EA support desktop and VR in the same game.
pinball M is so good, great themes! I will have to grab a quest 3 now for sure. I tried starwars pinball and its sweeet in vr. I will pay for the VR williams thats amazing! Little dissapointed that chainsaw table is slicing cardboard cut outs, i mean we got mortal kombat dont we, whats the issue
Omg! So much hype for the football table.
Damn. That’s a loaded update. Thank you very much.
Super League Football looks pretty fun.
Great news and great update - Thank you!
Thank you!
If as you say you love the Nintendo Switch, why have you not fixed the non-working flippers in Zen FX and M tables when playing through a SJ@JX controller on a ATGames pinball, there was no problem playing the FX3 tables.
Football was my favorite FX2 table, great news that it's returning!
Guys any Chance of adding NBA Fastbreak Pinball to Zen studio's.This machine was out in the 1990's and was awesome to play.
Yeap! Another fan here.
@@randy7894I used to play it in the pubs in the UK... everyone loved it along with medieval madness..2 great machines
@@tonyevans22 Definitely. The announcer and crowd sounds dragged me into it every time.
One of my favorites too - Akos. I'll try to get it further up on the list!
@@ZenStudios That would be brilliant.If we could get added to FX3..I have all 100 tables,so hopefully will increase this amount 🙂
Finally some vr:) just hope it does not make me have to buy tables for the 4th time😢
Thank you so much... I can't wait to play it...
I hope there are VR news with the pinballs...either Pinball M or Pinball FX.
So far I´m using UEVR, but native support would be GOLD !!!
Can you at least add an optional VR support DLC???
yep same i love uevr but would much rather have official support
So the VR tables are only gonna be on the quest or is it coming to PS VR2 too??
It sounds like a deal with Meta, which sounds like they are backing the wrong horse here. PSVR 2 is the best gaming experience. With any luck they will have retained the rights to release on other platforms. Maybe just a short timed exclusive or something. This can also be a positive thing since when developers go from Quest to PSVR 2_, they often improve things. As well as adding improved haptics, adaptive trigger support, and eye tracking.
We'll have more news on platforms as we go forward!
@@ZenStudiosThat sounds more hopeful for PSVR 2 owners. Thanks!
Oh yeah a new pinbal M table that's good news ! I love pinbal fx but horror tables are really fun and duke nukem was a nice surprise 😊
I hope it’s not exclusive only to Meta. Psvr2 would be great
Great update! Thanks!!!!
Awesome update, TCM looks fantastic for Pinball M. Battle Royale mode coming on June 6?
Leatherface?!!! Hell to the yeah!! Super excited!
RNNN RNNN RNNNNNNNNNN
Very happy with the news. I will support Zen studios all the way now. 😉😉💵💵
Thanks for the update....
I really enjoy Pinball M and I wanted to see if you guys are aware that the unleashed power achievement or trophy is still not obtainable 6 months after release. I know you guys are really busy but wanted to see if you could please make that achievement obtainable as it's the only one that is impossible to unlock. Thanks Zen :)
YES! I never actually got to play Super League Football on Pinball FX2 before it was removed from that game
Super fun, one of the last remaining tables from that era. You'll have a blast with it.
@@Fuzzyfoot88 Fr
The Budarena awaits!
Let’s go TCM Pinball M!!!
Williams VR!!!
Does a “pack released at the end of the year” mean they’re all releasing then? Or will they be released individually, then packaged at the end of the year?
Packs always release altogether
@@alvin2021 no they don’t. They released the last Williams pack after they’d all been released individually.
Swords of Fury
Bride of Pin•Bot
Whirlwind
@@ronald6563 I guess there's the odd exception, but since I've played Zen Pinball from the beginning, it's almost always packs releasing, whether it's 3 or 4 Marvel tables, Star Wars etc. And most of the Williams did release as a pack. Way more often than not it's it's pack.
great show ,now implement different room lightening options,different rubber you can put on your flippers ake bouncing less bouncing more in different color scemes witch could be unlockable via reward system,implement a better cabinet view like the wiliams tables have a beter view ratio versus the zen originals ,or have a more extensive camera editor ,inplement diferent table leds like night mode and fluo led table lightening , just go ham lol,like the different flippers you can install in pinball m but then with connected other pysics flipper bouncing characeristics..implement fps view walking arround in your tropy room make it more immersefull,thats all for now 😋great work zen @raytrace 🙂
I hope the new mobile app is good. “No freemium monetization gimmicks… pure honest pinball experience.” Oh I wish I could trust this. It’s nice to finally hear Mel admit that the freemium model was a gimmick and a dishonest experience. I don’t need all the new bloat in the recent pinball iterations. I don’t need fancy balls or ball trails, i don’t need weird rewind mechanics to make the game easier, i don’t need frames or avatars for my user name. I just need a classic pinball experience that looks good and runs smoothly on my iPad. Unfortunately, my experience with Pinball Party and Pinball Masters makes me nervous. Pinball Masters, the latest zen mobile app, looks muddy and washed out with poor resolution and the performance is not smooth at all with a bad frame rate on my iPad pro. Zen Pinball stopped receiving support about 5 years ago so I’m finally happy to be getting a new title after waiting all these years.
That's the goal - give a straight, easy to understand and good mobile experience!
Will the premium collectibles in Pinball FX be available as prizes in tournaments and seasons, or will they disappear for good?
If we buy them with pinball coins and own them in the game it is already clear.
What about Playstaton VR2 for the new FX VR perform ?
^This!
Will we be able to keep our current tables we purchased from zen pinball over to the new Zen Pinball World or will be have to re-buy the tables also will we be able to play it offline as well?
GJ guys.
Super excited for patches and update for pinball on the Switch! But can't wait for Battlestar Galatica!!
"We're staying with Embracer, which we're actually very happy about" yeah man what great news, you look thrilled
I think better news would have been that they are leaving Embracer, and merging with the top talent at Farsight, as well as taking on their Stern license, to work out on bringing out newer Stern tables.
Has anyone at zen actually played a pinball machine? The ball in pinball fx has the feel of a cricket ball
Yeah, Super League Football!
Hey Zen ,thank you for all the announcements I'm late to the party I just saw this video but I am just like most of the community a humongous Williams obsessed old school tables guy, so that news is sweet music to my ears. I also just purchased the quest so the meta news is almost too good to be true LOL and I've always been a huge supporter of anything you release on the phones with the exception of the Netflix venture because well, it's just not a Zen quality product and it's pretty obvious. But yes I am an Android guy and I've always wanted the Apple features like gambling on skillz would be an incredible feature I'm very competitive and I love to make money. One last thing consider pinball m in VR. As you know most of your community are grown adults and we love grit grime and horror
Good Stuff!
Pinball M is BRILLIANCE !!!
I’m thrilled to hear about more Williams tables as well as the new originals. Thanks for the update! Only concern is, why no love for PC users? Super League Football free for a limited time for everyone except for PC users?
We are working on making this happen. There are still some negotiating and confirmations to be done, but hopefully we can swing a PC free period as well
@@ZenStudios That, along with everything else, is awesome news. Any idea if we'll ever see those last remaining FX3 exclusives (Aliens vs Pinball, Balls of Glory Pinball, Zen Originals Season 1 Bundle, Bethesda Pinball, The Walking Dead Pinball, Portal Pinball) make it to Pinball FX? Thanks for the wonderful pinball news!
Was hoping for more cabinet mode updates?
Thank you for bringing back Super League Football, Zen! I hope it doesn't become multiple versions of the same pinball table but with different teams, each retailing at full price, unlike the last time. I'm not even familiar with any of these teams, so I get completely lost in which version I should go for.
Think they're avoiding licensing the real teams as those are pricey. This table is literally featuring devs as the players so no issue with long term licensing and thus they're even giving it to us for free.
No, only the Zen FC version is releasing this time
Will there be more Williams tables released for Nintendo switch?
Where are all the tables from fx3 on switch?we've had no answer on this since it released July 6th 2023.
Nice update,thanks guys. But please add this online league System like in fx3. That was awesome and made me play much more as i had goals week for week. Now theres nothing to do, just play till i get bored,what happens very fast.
Still waiting on Judge Dredd
That is one of the big ticket tables we will need to do at some point.
4:49 I've been wondering about one of the announcer's voices in this table in the past: One of the guys sounds a little like Jeremy Clarkson. Is it him?
That would be amazing, sadly it is not him
I use to play Super League Football on the xbox 360 10 years ago, now it's time to do my pinball skill with a pinba-oh sorry, soccer ball
It'll be like reuniting with an old friend!
Looks ace.
What game engine is Super League Football in? Unreal 4?
Yes, we are building all tables in Unreal now
Cut me off a slab!!!!!! 🪚
Pinball m is by far the best one. Dumb name though. I stumbled on it by luck
I'd buy a Quest 3 without hesitation when Pinball FX arrives. (I think Quest 2 will be too crappy to support new gen tables)
So nice, been hoping for Super League Football to return for a long time and now it does and it is free! Your are the best!
Damn I just bought another year of pinball pass, am I screwed?
Hi there, you are not! Pinball Passes will be supported until expiration!
I Hope the next VR game will be compatible with Gibson pinball controller ☺️
Chances on that are very high!
@@gibsonpinball well on PC but what do you think in VR on the Quest 3 ?
I was referring to pinball on the Quest. Working on it right now and chances it will work with the new Zen pinball for Quest VR are very high. It's one of the main reasons we developed it the way we did. So you can not only connect to PC (regular and VR) but also connect directly to the Quest to play Quest pinball games (= native quest) like Star Wars for Quest.
Est-ce que cela répond à votre question? Merci!
@@gibsonpinball 👍👍👍 can t wait !
I wish we would get mobile tables again.
They are coming in our new game Zen Pinball World!
@@ZenStudios Hopefully sometime soon (or at least this year).
Not the vr news i wanted ,i was hoping the vr was an option in pinball fx pc,even if it was a payed addon ,but not another app :(
Howe soon for IOS app…?
Is Super League Football also coming to steam?
Yes.
Yes indeed!
Zen Studios, please!!! Launching new tables Pinball FX3 for XBOX SERIES X of the Pinball machines: NO FEAR WILLIAMS 1995, CENTAUR 1981 BALLY, SPACE INVADERS PINBALL 1980 BALLY, BLACK NIGHT 2000, MEGADETH, REVENGE FROM MARS 1999, TERMINATOR 2, BRAM STOKERS DRÁCULA, FIREPOWER 2, F-14 TOMCAT, FATHON, XENON, ELVIRA , MR. BLACK TAITO 1984, Beavis and Butt-head: Pinballed (Bally 1993), Pinball Spectrum 1981🙏🥹❤️
Lovely roadmap Zen. Looks like a monetization dickhead got dumped. Good to hear.
Can't wait for the williams stuff AND VR. Good grief. FX2 is so cool on the Quest 2.
Finally!! Mobile 📱 😭🤙
YAAAASSSSS!
Love that Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming out but what a missed opportunity to not base it on the original classic movie. It's based on the latest movie that had the worst character design for Leatherface and was without a doubt, the worst movie in the series. If you do A Nightmare on Elm Street, PLEASE do NOT base it off the remake. Would also love to see a classic EVIL DEAD table. Another cult classic ripe for a table would be Phantasm. You could do so much with the balls/spheres. Friday the 13th would be great too but rights are still a bit of an issue.
Does anyone actually like all these animations on those pinball tables? I personally hate that. But yeah, I just want some clean recreations of real tables.
Anyone else having issues with Pinball M crashing constantly on PS 4 after the edition of Texas Chainsaw Massacre? I'm getting so pissed because just hit level 25 and finally got new table rewards to unlock and Everytime i purchase one up to a few items i get blue error screen and i mean every time! 🤬 It was bad enough that the framerate constantly drops and screws you up while trying to get these rewards to begin with but now constant crashing 🤬 if i could get ahold of a human being at sony I'd demand my money back! This is 🤬 ridiculous that ive put 🤬loads of money into Zen pinball between FX, FX 3 and Pinball M and it's a pain to play M long enough to earn the rewards to begin with just to have the 🤬 crash after purchasing 1 or 3 thing's 🤬 anyway please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this problem! ✌️
