ZEN PINBALL 2 PS VITA TROPHY GUIDE FREE

Some people complain that they thought it was a free game and then are disappointed to discover that all the content is paid. By lowering the barrier to entry, we get a lot more curious people who try the game, find a theme that they enjoy, and discover that they like pinball. You took the bold move of changing the format of the game for Zen Pinball 2 by releasing the core game free and releasing all of the tables separately with free trials available for all of them. The four “core” tables from Pinball FX2 were developed under an exclusivity agreement with Microsoft and thus probably won’t make it. I’d go as far as to say that the original Pinball FX tables will never come to PSN just because they’re in an old format and would have to be rebuilt almost from scratch.

Will we be likely to see any of the remaining 11 tables that you have created that are available for the XBox 360 in Pinball FX2 converted for the PS3 and PS Vita and if so can you give us an idea of what may be coming and when? Also, we brainwash our players with subliminal messages. It’s a mix of timing (tables available when a game launches sell best), design quality, and appeal of the central theme. Among our hardcore players, Blade and Fear Itself get a lot of love. It varies by platform, but overall I’d say Street Fighter, Sorcerer’s Lair, and Wolverine are all up there in terms of sales and amount of play. What has been the most popular of all of your tables / packs of tables you have released to date? Plus, we get fewer complaints about the little letter above the left inlane being slightly the wrong shade of teal or whatever. So we’re focusing on creating new content, which, although more difficult and time-consuming, is more fun to work on.

We were considering that at one point, but we were prevented from doing so by Farsight’s exclusive license that covered pretty much all the good tables. Would you consider adapting any real pinball tables to Zen Pinball? Sure! Although I’d personally rather base it on the cartoons I watched as a kid than on the movies.

Generally, we like working with other properties and it seems to boost interest in our game, so we’ll continue to mix original tables with licensed ones for the foreseeable future.Ĭonsidering the current return to mainstream popularity of the franchise following the recent trilogy of movies, would you consider tables based on Transformers? I’ve been pushing for an Blackadder table – to no effect, sadly – but we have a big announcement coming soon that’s almost as good. Are we likely to see any future licenses from you? We’ve seen a large range of licensed Marvel tables from you so far as well as the Plants Vs Zombies collaboration with Pop Cap Games.

It’s amazing what people’s minds will come up when they’re being beaten, deprived of sleep, and fed experimental drugs. It comes from a lot of places: tables from the past, the themes we’re using, and new ideas from the brains of our designers who eat, sleep, and breathe pinball. Where do you get inspiration from for all of the tables featured in the game? We and our friends at Farsight are taking it over. In fact, a year from now, when people think of the Vita, pinball will be the first thing that comes to mind. They’re both excellent products that are a good fit with the system’s capabilities. While Pinball Arcade contains recreations of real tables from years past, Zen Pinball 2 has new designs and themes. Yes, the games offer different styles of pinball. Do you think that there is enough room in the Vita marketplace for so many pinball games?

The PS Vita is fortunate enough to be blessed with a wide range of pinball games available for players including the Minis range and compatible PSP games as well as Zen Pinball 2 and what could be considered to be your closest rival, Pinball Arcade. Neil Sorens, the Creative Director at Zen Studios, agreed to take some time out of his busy schedule to give us this interview to talk about Zen Studios and their work, the incredible Zen Pinball 2 and their forthcoming PS Vita game KickBeat…
