It’s been pretty busy here at Zen Studios, and we just had to take a break to fill you all in on some pretty exciting developments with the Marvel Pinball series. If you rewind back to San Diego Comic-Con, you may remember we announced a brand new four-table pack, Marvel Pinball: Vengeance and Virtue. Ghost Rider, half of the “Vengeance” part of the title, was the first table revealed, and to this point there have only been a handful of screens to explore – but today, right here on the PlayStation.Blog, we are giving you a first look at Johnny Blaze, Lucifer, and Zadkiel in action.

Marvel Pinball: Ghost Rider Trailer, PS Vita Plans

Did you see what we did there??? “A virtuous announcement coming to New York Comic Con.” Yes, we will be revealing a new table this Saturday @ 1:15 – 2:15 during the Marvel Games panel at NYCC. Any guesses on the reveal?

Marvel Pinball: Vengeance and Virtue

On to some PS Vita news! Marvel Pinball is looking really sharp on PlayStation’s upcoming handheld. We cannot say enough about how freaking awesome this new device is and how amazing it is to develop on. Marvel Pinball is making full use of PS Vita’s coolest features, including both front- and back-panel touch support, gyro sensor, accelerometer and last but not least, cross-platform functionality with PSN. As we get closer to the release of Marvel Pinball on PS Vita, we will definitely provide more details on all of these features. One more thing: Look for Marvel Pinball to be available for PS Vita starting day one!

As you can see, there is a lot of Marvel Pinball love coming to PlayStation. Stay tuned to NYCC for news on the next table reveal. I will be checking this post throughout the weekend to answer questions. Thanks!

      Lot’s of speculation, but there will be two tables based on Vengeance, and two on Virtue. Ghost Rider obviously fits the Vengeance side of things.

    You guys kinda suck for what you said about PSN….

    • Zsolt Kigyossy
      October 13, 2011 at 3:13 pm PDT

      A lot of what we said was not presented in full context. That is another part of the company anyway, we told that guy to keep his mouth shut. PSN is a great service and PlayStation fans are awesome people.

    That is cool and all and sounds good but when is the Vita coming out. I have been foaming at the mouth for this system for several months now.

    @12, Amazon sent me an email this week saying my Vita pre order has been pushed back to end of March
    Hope this helps.

  • Zsolt Kigyossy

    People wanted to talk about how small devs were affected by the outage, they took only a handful of what we had to say. One of the biggest things we pointed out but was not reported was how AWESOME the welcome back package was. It was extremely generous, and helped make everyone feel good about coming back to PSN.

    i’m really impressed with playstation vita. cool post love ghost rider he’s in my top 10 fav super heroes

    • Zsolt Kigyossy
      October 13, 2011 at 4:53 pm PDT

      Ghost Rider has a style all his own. He’s the renegade, it was really fun capturing his personality on a table. And Vita is amazing, simply said.

  • brianace

    Not sure about virtue. But the second “vengeance” table has to be the Punisher. Love Marvel pinball; the FF and Cap tables were great!

    “Yes, we will be revealing a new table this Saturday @ 1:15 – 2:15 during the Marvel Games panel at NYCC. Any guesses on the reveal?”

    Erm a DC Comics table? :D

  • lisatsunami
    October 13, 2011 at 5:04 pm PDT

    @Zsolt: Actually, most of us never left, & I realized how much I missed surfing the store every night. But the Welcome Back package was very generous despite what the grumblers said.

    I’m pretty sure that most of us felt concern for the devs, especially the indies, during that period, so we do understand your frustrations, in a small way.

    But, water under the bridge now. All we care about is amazing, fun games.

    The second image looks like the Hulk and the third image looks like The Punisher. I can’t make out the four image though.

  • ThreeLeggedFreak
    October 13, 2011 at 5:28 pm PDT

    So the iphone and android phones get a GTAIII port, 3DS gets MH exclusively, and Vita gets…..a Pinball game. Sorry, but I can’t get excited for this.

  • shogun00
    October 13, 2011 at 5:31 pm PDT

    Correction! The third one is Dr. Strange. I mixed the two up (The Punisher and Dr. Strange).

    Someone pointed out on another forum, that the fourth one may be Magneto.

    • Zsolt Kigyossy

      There will definitely be online features. Cannot say what exactly yet, but lots of connectivity with other players.

    @Zsolt Kigyossy

    What the employee said in the article was completely malicious and made it seem as if PSN is irrelevant and Xbox Live is the end all service for game developers. Rather than say what that employee said was “taken out of context,” your company should have issued an apology to any PlayStation fans who have purchased Zen Studios’ past works. I’m glad Zen Studios still considers PSN a platform worth releasing games on, but right now I don’t believe you deserve any success until Zen Studios issues some sort of retraction.

    Second question mark is the Rock Man from Fantastic Four

    Hypno74 posted a vid a few days ago of the official x-men trailer. He has since taken it down, so I am guessing he jumped the gun on it and it will be the next to be announced. It showed you using cerebro to find the x-men and recruit them then training them in the danger room. It also showed a face off with Magneto, looked pretty damn cool.

    As for the other 2 tables, guessing Hulk and Dr Strange.

      Thanks! More news on the way, and we have more games in the works for VIta. We will talk about them as soon as we can.

  • KANE8891

    Vita owners will be limited to downloads of 20MB or less over 3G.
    Is this for ATNT users (free) or everyone? What if i pay a additional charge for unlimited data transfer, will i be able to transfer more? Will this limit bi integrated in the software it self?

    • Zsolt Kigyossy
      October 14, 2011 at 10:20 am PDT

      Hi Kane, I wish I knew the answers to these, but I think your questions are probably better directed to the folks at Sony.

  • polo155

    I don’t see why there’s so much Vita talk and NO DATE ANNOUNCED!

    That fact that there’s not even a date has me ignoring any talk about it because that talk gets old fast. The only thing I’m paying any attention to on Vita currently is the Download max of 20MB. Paying for 3G and 20MB cap?! Hmm!

    I never believed what ppl said about Sony and that they make good hardware (and i supported Sony hugely) but after my PS3 then PSP 2000, 3000 & n-1001 (PSP Go) I’m realizing with this company one cannot be a first adopter because you can be left with hardware with NO support.

    When my apt was robbed Sony had me do things so they “can help me locate the PSP Go” and once I did all that I NEVER heard from Sony again… If I called they simply say its a security matter we cannot discuss with you. I’m like huh? I’m the one who got you everything they needed to check for nothing…

    Make a guy in a wheelchair jump thru loops to then leave him holding his own lol too hilarious!

    I was actually stoked when they contacted ME to help me “locate” my device.

    Good Day all, Zen Pinball is fun, I own it!

  • devilmosh
    October 14, 2011 at 2:11 pm PDT

    It’s definitely a day-one purchase for me. Both Zen pinball games are the best I’ve ever played – highly addictive and you can tell the devs really love the work.

    As for the outage, everyone was frustrated, even Sony. But it’s over and it doesn’t matter what was said. FWIW, I tried to do my part to support devs by buying as much as I could over the summer, and any Zen tables that I didn’t have were among the first when PSN was back.

    When Vita will get a good rpg i will buy a vita and this game until then i have no intention to buy a Vita.

    X-Men is next! Great news! So tell me Zsolt, is Archangel on the table?

    • Zsolt Kigyossy
      October 15, 2011 at 1:42 pm PDT

      Happy to hear you are excited about X-Men. Currently no plans for Archangel here, but possibly on another table:)

  • Williamsky
    October 15, 2011 at 2:04 pm PDT

    Just saw the X-men trailer for their table and it was nice. Magneto changing the table is a really cool idea. Post 36 mentions Archangel and Zsolt responds “possibly on another table:)”, so my question is, Is the 2nd ? in the above picture Apocalypse?

    • Zsolt Kigyossy
      October 15, 2011 at 3:53 pm PDT

      You will just have to wait and see! I think it is going to throw everyone for a loop. Magneto plays a big role in the X-Men table, we were really able to translate his powers and abilities well on the pinball table.

  • StinkyMoney5

    Glad to hear this game is coming to Vita. I think this game fits the smart phone and gaming handheld scene better.

    I recently got into Pinball Heroes on my PSP, but seeing Marvel Pinball will be available on the Vita… wow, I’ll be jumping all over this. The lineup of content for the PSV just keeps getting better and better. Hurry up and confirm a release date please, Sony. You’ve got my money, I’d like my new handheld! XD

  • KANE8891

    I heard that i won’t be able to connect “MY” PSP VITA to my Bravia?.Its thet true? You can connect the PSP 1000, 2000, 3000 and PSP Go to a tv easily, way not the PSP VITA it has easily the horse power to make a good quality picture (maybe with a overscale option-connected to a power supply)? I know thet the picture is crisper on a smaller (OLED)screen but i what to see how well the picture comes out like the first intruduction with MetalGearSolid 4 Guns Of The Patriotes on the big screen.
