Been really looking forward to the ZP2 release as I know I’ll be playing that a ton more on my Vita than I likely will my PS3 which is great as I need some more games to play.

Must say I’m quite looking forward to Kickbeat now. Heard you guys talking about it on the PSNation podcast a while back and wasn’t sure if it’s be something I would really enjoy but that game play trailer above I think sold me on it. Seems like the perfect Vita game give the rounds are essentially as long as the song is.

Thanks for the reply, Zsolt! In that case, I’ll probably start working on purchasing all the original Zen tables in anticipation of playing them on the Vita. This is gonna be awesome!

You can turn off the ball trails in the options if you prefer. There will be 26 tables available at launch, if memory serves.

For me, seeing Zen Studios attached to a project is more than enough to warrant a first day purchase. Keep up the good work guys. (I really should just make a macro for this.)

Zen Pinball 2 is a free download – it is only the content that will cost. Any content you have already purchased (Zen Pinball, Marvel Pinball, and add-on tables for those games) will be imported for free into the new game, and some of those tables will receive texture upgrades and bug fixes as well.

I am not 100% sure on how PS+ content will be treated, but my understanding is that if you got Zen Pinball/Marvel Pinball for free as part of PS+ and have an active PS+ subscription, those tables will import for free into ZP2 as well.

Hi Zsolt, as You may know, gamers will always look for the best opportunity to use as hard setting as it is possible. You’ve got Through the Fire and Flames on hard in RockBand, or Scatman songs in Singstar. I’m wondering, did you try to play KickBeat to the fastest song in the world? I mean Moby – Thousand.

“However, we haven’t been able to get the game finalized, as giving players the ability to import all their Zen Pinball/Marvel Pinball content into both the PS3 and Vita versions of the game for free is a little bit complicated on the development side.”

Does this confirm, as I’d hoped, that all the older Marvel tables I got for free through PS+ and the newer ones that I bought to support the free ones, will work on the PSVita version of ZP2? I don’t have any of the original Zen tables yet, so will ZP2 still come as a free update with the Marvel tables, or do I need to purchase it? Or would buying the Zen tables be the easiest way to access Zen2? Really looking forward to the Avengers tables. Thanks!
