Paramount Pinball ► World War Z Pinball

Ça fait plaisir de voir des nouveaux zombies.
Même si j'ai un très gros faible pour les graphismes et dessins de The Walking Dead.
On ne devrait pas s'endormir sur cette table !

I'm cautiously optimistic about this table. This is a theme I know absolutely nothing about besides that it's a zombie apocalypse shooting game, but the atmosphere we've seen in the gameplay so far as well as the layout with a good mix of targets and proper lanes intrigues me. That being said... I felt similarly about Snoopy, a game I still overall like but has some rather "unfair" moments despite the excellent physics in that game. I really hope we're not going to be getting "ball rejects out of the scoop with a clean shot" type stuff here.

Comment mettre en gros le nom d'une licence tout en payant moins cher

Mais oui, vu le panel de tables c'est cool d'avoir un thème plus mature.

An addendum to my initial post:

- Out of the new Pinball FX tables, this one looks the most like one I could see being done in real life so far - animated zombies aside. Like in Snoopy, there's a good mix of orbits, lanes, and even standup targets that just make the game feel like a proper pinball machine rather than one that could be made only digitally.
- The "Light Main Mode" shot seems to feed a subway that sends the ball to the left flipper, and then modes can be started by shooting the right scoop. I like the idea of this mission structure - missions are clearly indicated on the playfield, correspond to different monsters or events from the game, and Dolby implies in his commentary that some missions are best tackled with better weapons than others. This adds some strategic implications, similar to those seen in real tables, that I've been dying to see implemented in more Zen originals.

perso, pas encore acheté cette table ça sera peut être pour mes prochaines emplettes sur FX.

Parmi les nouvelles tables proposée par fx il me reste donc world war Z et les deux nouvelles tables star wars.

Congrats Dolby, on making such a great second table after an initial release I thought was just alright (Snoopy). World War Z isn't a perfect game, and I think during long games it could suffer from similar issues to Junk Yard where you're just going through the motions, but the physics are *tight*. Like "holy crap I can't get control of the ball" tight. This approach definitely fits the dark, gloomy atmosphere of this table more than it did Snoopy, and it also happens to feel quite a bit more balanced than that table did, with major scores coming from the missions.

Something I particularly love about this table is how for the most part, this really *could* be done as a physical pinball table. The layout reminds me of a SEGA pinball machine, Batman Forever, and that game has a solid enough layout on its own that works well digitally. The only real fantastical aspect here is the moving zombie targets, but they're integrated into the game well and don't wear out their welcome like so many other toys before it have. I'm also a fan of the basic approach to starting missions - no shooting X shot X amount of times here, they're all started at a single shot and this couldn't fit the rules more. The weapons add a nice bit of strategy, which, while basic, still contributes to the theme and story of the game; though what I'd love to see patched in is a bonus for missions dependent on the squad health you had remaining, to incentivize quick, fast play. But this is a minor gripe, and doesn't detract from the excellent job Dolby did with this table.

This table gets a very strong 4/5 from me - I would've given it a 5/5, but the display lacks polish, often showing unrelated video outside of missions; and the physics can sometimes be more infuriating than fun, though not to the level of Snoopy. But when things click on this table, they really do click. Pinball Noir is still my favorite of the new tables in Pinball FX 2022, but this table is a very close second and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a difficult, but fun pinball experience.

Two more complaints from me that I hope get fixed:
- *Holy crap* Machine Gun Madness scores way too many points. A video mode should never score more than playing actual pinball and I'm worried that this is going to be the case with this mode if the scoring isn't nerfed somehow. Shame too, because the scoring balance is otherwise very good on this table. I kinda get what the game is going for, you have the risk / reward of going for RELOAD to maximize scoring, but it still seems like quite a bit compared to the points you get for playing through missions...
- The feeds to the chainsaw flipper are less than stellar, often bouncing right off the chainsaw and draining off the playfield in less than 5 seconds without a chance to shoot a target. This is fine during Better Guns because the ramp is lit for mini-playfield infinitely during that mode, but Explore the Mall suffers pretty bad if you can't make a single shot and all the work you put into lighting it goes to waste. The angle for the right bank of drop targets also requires a ton of precision that I'm not sure how to feel about.

Good news - this table should be getting a patch tomorrow that greatly reduces Machine Gun Madness scoring, and thank god too. Props to Zen for the quick fix.

OK Merci.
Utile. simple en effet.

Cette table étant jouée sur un grand tournoi (dans les évènements officiels Zen) en ce moment, j'y ai joué un peu.

On peut dire que les voies extérieures sont gourmandes (à cette version de patch).
La priorité que je me fais est d'activer les kickback du coup en jouant de Nuddge Pass et de Post Pass. Il faut 6 tirs dans la voie extrême gauche pour activer les 2.

Après je cherche encore ce qui score le mieux.
Le mode chronométré Hurleur avec les bumpers donne quasiment 10 millions quand tu touches la cible.
La multibille ne m'a pas paru énorme en terme de points.

4/5, très bonne table avec une belle architecture. Plus de Walked Dead mais celle-ci la remplace du coup. Les missions ne semblent pas impossible mais pas si évidentes non plus. Elles sont bien équilibrées. Celle où on tiraille sur plein de zombies donne beaucoup de points. Je n'ai pas encore réussi à obtenir le multiball "escalator". Il est long à débloquer. Les kickbacks semblent simples à obtenir. Malgré tout je ne le fais pas lol. Je conseille d'y jouer.

Merci!

Table des soldes d'Halloween,

Et bien je n'accroche pas du tout.
Ca va être un calvaire pour compléter les goodies,
et après, pas sûr que j'y revienne.

Mais je comprends que certains apprécient, il en faut pour tous les goûts.

Je viens de me lancer sur cette table avec les soldes halloween, que je trouve horriblement difficile. Pas moyen de garder les billes plus de quelques minutes en jeu. C'est Outlane sur outlane, surtout à Gauche.
Ca va vite, les effets vidéos sont sympas mais pas moyen d'y jouer tellement c'est dur. Une rampe ratée, c'est souvent une bille perdue...

Pour le moment la difficulté me gache à 100% le plaisir, ne m'apportant QUE de la frustration en boucle...
