SpooNManX, I disagree about having your own music while playing…. not in principle, you should be able to listen to whatever you want, but the beeps and loops on Black Hole just add to it’s charm, IMO… and you really want to miss “I can Speak” on Bride Of Pin*Bot ?”

No reason to disagree. I’m NOT saying I wouldn’t want the sound from the pinball table. I just want it in addition to listening to my own music. Sort of like in the old arcades! I’m not sure if you remember these, but back in the day we would play pinball in the arcades and there would be tons of other sounds as well as music playing. I would like to emulate that experience.

Of course this option of playing music from the XMB would be completely up to the user. Turn it on or turn it off… Everyone is happy!

@ smudger3566

When playing your own music on Zen Pinball, you still get the sound fx, so if this was implemented on Bride of Pinbot, you would still hear her talk while enjoying your music. Same with Black Hole – you’d get all the robotic talking, beeps, etc, just replacing the looping background music with something that gets less annoying after several plays in a row.

Sure, the original music has its charm, but there’s also nostalgia to be had in going back to the times when you could hit up the jukebox at the arcade and play pinball to your favorite songs. That’s what this request is all about.

so i bought the game and the 4 current add-on tables and while they all show up and play great on the Vita, the ones i downloaded for the PS3 do not show up in the game, even after downloading and installing… anyone else have any issues with that or is it just me..i understand they were trying to implement trophies for the new tables, perhaps thats why.. but i would like to play them on the PS3, as thats what i bought them primarily for.. any help would be appreciated… thanks…

oh, and i find this pinball collection has to be one of the best i’ve ever played.. thumbs up…!

I’m not sure he’s still reading/answering these, but I just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of Farsight and have been enjoying your pins since 2004.

I’d really love to see a way to play our own music via the Sony XMB. This is pretty common in a lot of newer games and is especially fitting for a pinball game. Some tables (Black Hole) just need a little something else other than the looping noises.

Also, you should really make every attempt to add trophy support for the last 4 DLC tables.
I believe it was promised in a Facebook post when asked:

“The Pinball Arcade We realize many users enjoy achieving trophies on PSN. We plan to add the following trophies on PS3/Vita for ALL DLC tables (previously released and future tables) in the July or August update:

Top 5 high score: Bronze
Table #1 high score: Bronze
Complete Standard goals: Bronze
Complete Wizard goals: Silver”

“PREVIOUSLY RELEASED” was promised so I hope you can make good on that.
