![]() ![]() ![]() It started in FX3 before Williams was a thing, when they introduced 'Classic Single Player'. There's a lot of confusing choices of words Zen has chosen, I agree. They just need to know what a mode (normal, hard, etc) entails. People don't need to be setting "physics" on their tables. I understand mobile doesn't need to have as many settings, but at the very least they could just go with Normal and Hard there. There is absolutely no conceivable reason why they would not just go with the standard setting names of Normal, Hard, etc. They have told me as much in their response to direct inquiry about various things on PS4, Steam, and Android. Zen is most definitely an iterative team that is trying different approaches across platforms. Not to mention the multiple times I have already seen it on forums, including on here. And the three people I have gotten into FX3 and Williams on Android at work all complained to me that it is confusing. We're talking about parity of the naming conventions of their settings for gameplay. We're not talking about parity of the code or the physics. It will create parity, it is familiar to all gamers, AND it will shut most people up. It's one of those cases of a company making a simple thing much harder by trying to please everyone.Īll they need to do is go with Normal, Hard, Expert, and Tournament. It confuses newbs and aggravates enthusiasts. However, there's absolutely no need for them to be messing around with modes the way they are. Zen's current disparity of difficulty modes across their games makes it appear like they are confused about it themselves, although I realize they are an iterative team, and are just testing to see what works best. This is what real-world arcade pinball fans would probably play most of the time. "Expert" should be the close to real-world physics (on a brand new machine) that "tournament" in fx3 has, but with regular game rules, which would be what you'd really experience in an arcade (on a new machine). It's a step up for players from "normal", so the traditional "hard" verbiage works fine. "Arcade" is not arcade physics, so they should just call it hard, and get away from special terms. It's the crack taste for non-pinheads really a novice difficulty, rpg-ish setting. "Normal" is really for entry-level play, to hook people in, or just for a fun, long, level-up type of gameplay. Expert (the physics of the current tournament mode of fx3, but with extra balls on).While it is not possible to remove the censorship in the game's console releases, the PC version allows players to play Williams tables uncensored, and the upcoming T-rated reboot will implement this option for console users.Zen should create parity across all of their games with difficulty settings for all tables as: Table groups marked with an asterisk are not available on the Nintendo Switch port of the game Star Wars tables are sold separately in a Nintendo Switch version of Star Wars Pinball.īecause Zen Studios' pinball games target an overall ESRB rating of Everyone 10+ and the Williams pinball tables included in Pinball FX3 contained content that isn't consistent with the rating, several minor changes to playfield elements were done to remove objectionable content.
