The Pinball Arcade Scores on PS3 and PS Vita Today

[Commander Fury]

With the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> launches of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/pinball-arcade/">The Pinball Arcade</a> on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a> this week, I thought that I’d share a few more details about our game and offer some general gameplay tips.

 

The launch tables include one from each of the four major manufactures that we’ve licensed. Tales of the Arabian Nights (Williams), Ripley's Believe It or Not (Stern), Theatre of Magic (Bally), and Black Hole (Gottlieb). Tales and Black Hole were part of the Pinball Hall of Fame games. We’ve spent a lot of time improving the physics and the graphics of our pinball engine over the past few years, so we feel that they’re definitely worthy of updating.

 

When we first made the Gottlieb collection we gathered references from the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. We took a lot of pictures, recorded the audio with microphones, and took notes on the rules along with gameplay video reference. We actually re-programmed all of the rules from scratch.
