Star Wars Pinball VR Free Download Unfitgirl

Star Wars Pinball VR Free Download Unfitgirl VR is beginning to feel like the new hope home for Star Wars gaming. With immersive experiences ranging from Vader Immortal to Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge, the technology seems to be a perfect fit for generations of fans who have grown up swinging a plastic sword and making that iconic humming noise. The marriage of immersion and fantasy just feels perfectly suited. With that being said, the galaxy of Star Wars gaming is wider than digital roleplay. With Star Wars Pinball VR, Zen Studios has taken the various individual tables based on George Lucas’ franchise alongside a couple of new ones and packaged them together with a bantha-load of fan service. But is the collection capable of running the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs or is it just a bucket of bolts? First up, let’s talk about what’s included here. Rather than an entirely new set of content, the collection is more like a Greatest Hits album with some bonus tracks thrown in as well. Fan favourite based on the original trilogy return alongside Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Masters of the Force, and Star Wars Rebels, some of which pinball fans may already have in non-VR. The shift to VR makes the feeling of playing these entirely more immersive and goes some way to justifying a double dip. Brand new to this release, we have a Mandalorian table and the Classic Collectables table. Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

The first of these is wonderfully atmospheric with that iconic music playing and even the Child floating next to the table and reacting to your play. The latter is a favourite of mine, due to me being a long time fan with my childhood figures still in my possession (unsealed, of course). Visually, Star Wars Pinball VR is a mixed bag. The tables themselves look great, complete with the requisite flashing lights and bells and whistles. Many of them look very busy and confusing, but you soon learn the techniques and patterns for high scoring – especially as there are handy table guides included to teach you some of the more complex aspects. I loved the way that the Classic Collection included a rotating display of accurately modelled original action figures. Around the table you’ll find specific characters standing and reacting to how your session is going, from the aforementioned Child to Emperor Palpatine himself. This doesn’t affect play in any real sense, but adds to the overall feeling of extreme fanservice. In most cases, you’ll soon find yourself screening out anything but the table itself anyway as the ball zips around and you try to make accurate shots at specific targets. One of the ways in which this collection really excels though is through its use of the vast library of iconic music from across the Star Wars Universe. All of John Williams tracks are available to unlock and play through the in-game jukebox

A New Hope

Enabling you to immerse yourself even more thoroughly. This jukebox is just one of the many aspects of the VR game room, though. Chasing high scores on the tables also unlocks decorations and collectables to place around the virtual space, with many requiring some real dedication to unlock. It’s way of making the fanservice feel a genuine part of the game and also gives a more tangible system of progress to further encourage pushing your high scores further. Add in the online scoreboards and you have a perfect system to make you try and become a true Pinball Jedi Master. There are, however, some issues with the game’s presentation. The most glaring of these is the odd decision to make the options screen a physical location in the gaming space rather than behind a standard button press. This means that you have to navigate to the TV in-game to access options, and aside from different traversal methods (teleport and smooth movement) these options were fairly limited. This is in part due to my playing the Oculus version with its standardised build so I can’t speak for the Steam VR equivalent. There have been many complaints about the latter’s inflexibility though, with many VR controllers being incompatible, meaning that a regular controller must be used. If you’re playing via Steam VR, I’d recommend checking out the relevant discussion forums for the latest updates. Call of Duty Black Ops II 

It’s difficult to emphasise just how well the pinball experience translates to VR, but just as with the real thing, that means prolonged play sessions can lead to an uncomfortable neck as you have to look down at the table. A more upright display option could have helped here, but that would obviously take away from the main selling point of playing in VR here. Where the VR absolutely elevates the experience into something more transformative, however, is the immersive minigames that take place actually within the tables. Fulfil certain unique requirements within each table and you’ll find your point of view zoomed onto the table as you carry out story specific actions such as piloting a speeder bike through the forest moon of Endor or taking part in an epic shootout in the Mandalorian. These moments are tricky to unlock – at least at first – but absolutely pop in VR. Star Wars Pinball VR is the very essence of a love letter to the sci-fi franchise, taking you through several of the films as well as adding its own extras. This isn’t so much a nod to Star Wars, it’s more a massive mosh pit for you to jump around in and customize to your liking – once you’ve put in some serious time at the tables to unlock everything of course. You’ll find yourself in a fairly barebones Fan Cave, with lots of empty shelving, plinths, and poster frames to be filled. To do so you’re provided with eight tables, each with its own unique design and characters depending on what part of the franchise they’re based on.

The Empire Strikes Back

So you’ve got tables such as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope which come from the original Star Wars Pinball videogame but there are new inclusions like The Mandalorian. Unlike Pinball FX2 VR which had separate tables, in Star Wars Pinball VR all eight are housed in one unit, keeping the cave nice and tidy but also meaning you can quickly and easily switch between the tables. Which is great once you found a couple of favourites (which you will). They’re all extremely intricate, fascinating to look at, almost overwhelming to begin with. Apart from the main central flippers, all the tables have varying degrees of additional flippers so there’s a sizable learning curve when you start a fresh one. Being pinball, the mechanics are very easy to pick up and play yet don’t let that fool you. The tables are incredibly complex with multiple stages to unlock as well as new animations. Read the table description if you want to see all that they have to offer. And that’s not even counting the VR additions. Even with the older PC pinball tables, Zen Studios has given them a reworking. So you can view each one from the standard overhead view or actually jump inside for a close-up look. Called ‘Immersion Mode’ it looks great if you want to admire the table but not so much for actually playing it. You’re almost too close to the action making it tricky to track the ball, plus the ball looks really fake like it’s floating around the table. Call of Duty 

It’s the one feature in Star Wars Pinball VR which ruins the illusion of playing pinball in VR, so stay clear. However, there are in-table moments that do work very well. There’s a sequence that can be unlocked during The Mandalorian whereby you control Mando for a brief time, blasting the ball away with your wrist-mounted flamethrower. There aren’t too many of these moments but they do add a pleasing side touch to the whole experience. For the most part, you’re going to be aiming for table high scores as some massive scores are required to unlock some of the rarer unlockables like the Darth Vader statue or Baby Yoda. Thankfully, Star Wars Pinball VR features a couple of different ways you can engage with the tables to keep the gameplay interesting. Classic Mode is exactly as you’d expect, no-frills just you, a couple of buttons to mash, and some expert timing. Dig a little deeper and you also have an Arcade Mode and a Career Mode which are sort of intertwined yet hold the key to the monstrous scores. Naturally, every Fan Cave has to have a huge TV. This is where you can play through the Career Mode with five chapters split down into ten missions each. They’ll each have their own particular challenges such as hit a particular score within a time limit or last for a set time with only one life. Do so and you’ll be awarded points on Force Powers and Force Talents.

A Star Wars Story

Upgrading them will increase their special bonus, nicely upping the ante when playing in Arcade Mode. They don’t alter the pinball mechanics in any way but having those means you can swap the Powers/Talents around and change your strategy if you take those pinball high scores seriously. Away from the intensity of the tables you can always relax, put some music on the R2-D2 Jukebox, and admire your cave. Star Wars Pinball VR is for the most part a very comfortable experience as you’re at a table watching a ball(s) ping around. Smooth locomotion is the default movement around the cave so if you’re not comfortable with that snap turning and teleportation can be activated, they’re just not easy to find. The options menu is hidden within the TV system so it’s not instantly accessible wherever you are in the room. Understandable considering Zen Studios is keeping a nice HUD-free environment yet it does make the process a little finicky for those players who do instantly head to the option settings. Another unusual addition is the hands. You’d think that in VR hands aren’t unusual but in the room, they’re completely inanimate, there’s nothing to pick up or physically interact with. They seem to be used more as a way to ground you in the space, automatically locking to the side of the table when playing. Another minor gripe is the retro screens at the far end of each table, they need to be a bit easier to read. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

You can get so engrossed watching the ball(s) it’s easy to forget to look at the little yellow and black screen to make certain stage selections. Even with those grumbles, Star Wars Pinball VR is an excellent addition to the franchise, another superb showcase of pinball in VR. There’s so much content to discover you’ll be playing for hour after hour trying to finesse those shots to unlock new secrets. Sure, it really helps if you’re a Star Wars fan as all the cave customization options will be lost on anyone else. VR headsets already have a decent selection of Star Wars titles with Star Wars Pinball VR being one of the best. Career mode is a fantastic inclusion that understands different types of people will be playing and wants to make sure they can still enjoy it. Much as I’d love to spend hours playing VR pinball and seeing every scene on each table, time just doesn’t always permit. Five-minute sessions here and there are just enough to sample a table’s delights without feeling like you’re missing out on too much, and if you have more time to spend, that’s great too. Classic mode awaits. And there are plenty of delights to sample. Star Wars Pinball VR has a whopping eight tables to play on: three from the original trilogy, a Mandalorian table, Rebels, Masters of the Force, a Classics table, and then a Rogue One table. The prequel trilogy and Disney trilogy are nowhere in sight. Maybe Zen Studios wanted to keep this a fan-focused experience or perhaps they’re planned as DLC

Your mileage might vary, but there’s really not a dud table among the bunch. Each sports a unique layout built around several references from the associated Star Wars film or show. The Return of the Jedi table, for example, has Jabba’s palace, the bunkers of Endor, hangers for Rebel and Imperial ships, and that’s just scratching the surface. You can play each table from a top-down perspective, as if you’re standing at a normal pinball machine, or in immersion mode, which is, frankly, amazing. Immersion mode gives you three angles to view the table, and they’re all positioned behind and slightly above the main flippers. You might miss out on a few visual elements from the models at higher elevations, but immersion mode is the best way to see just how much care and attention Zen Studios lavished on each table. Admittedly, it’s a bit more difficult than expected to identify which areas relate to what. Some of the lanes aren’t marked clearly, or if they are, the writing is rather small. The board at the table’s far end is supposed to have a grainy retro look. However, that sometimes works against you when you’re straining to make out what the event requirement is while your ball drops down into the Sarlacc Pit in the process.
