Kudos for the cross-platform purchase & play, local AND online play, Move support, under $9.99 pricepoint and demos for both Vita and PS3.

Attention other developers: THIS is how you do it.

We’re talkin’ foosball, people!

Nope, that is not possible on Vita at the moment. But it is an interesting idea. We will definitely consider it for some future update!

The trail depends on the ball, but there is a small trail behind every one of them. It does not seem so good in a trailer, but it gives every shot a very visceral feel when you play it.

Hi Elsa. The tables will definitely seem familiar. Pull Shots, Snake shots, Bank shots, Pin shots. You can do it all in Foosball 2012. Spinning is not allowed and you cannot spin.
Sim or “just a game”… If you play with PlayStation Move, it is pretty close to playing real foosball. We had some really good players to test the game and they could pull a lot of their tricks after just a few minutes of getting used to the game. Playing with DualShock has a more “arcadey” feeling to it, but it still feels a lot like foosball.
Overall, I wouldn’t call it a “sim”. But everyone who loves real foosball will definitely enjoy this ;-)

Can you turn off the ball trail? If not, I probably wont buy it…

my husband is a huge foosball player… he’s even gone to the Vegas event and he regularly plays with a world class player – is this closer to a sim or a just video game take on the sport? Are the tables realistic… Bonzini, Tornado? Are the shots realistic… pull shots, snake shots, bank shots, push kicks, etc. Also do actual real rules apply (no spinning the rods… and is it even possible to spin the rod?)
Does it teach shots, rules, etc for the actual game?

Very cool. Excited to grab this when it releases!

One point that I wanted clarification on:

“Online multiplayer is also present, of course. You can play alone, or join up with a friend locally and take on the world together.”

I would assume this means for the PS3 version you would need a friend to be the second player on the PS3 to then play online together. What about the Vita? Is there anyway to possibly jump online, send an invite to a friend on your friend list, have them join and then enter matchmaking together to play against another person or two other people on the other team?

Thank you!

Thanks again Jakub.

Loving this more with each post.

Great that both PS3 and Vita are getting it and I’m also happy that you’re mentioning it has Dualshock and Move ability.
