SENRAN KAGURA Peach Ball

SENRAN KAGURA Peach Ball

Overall, I was pretty surprised with this game. I’ve played more than a few pinball games owning over half of all the games available on the PS4 version of Pinball Arcade, and I’m generally pretty picky abut which ones I play. As far as the gameplay goes, Peach Ball is actually very solid. The two currently available tables are fast paced, have a good variety of mechanics, and have features that set both games apart from each other. On top of that, they’re both very colorful (though the “night” version of Peach Land can actually make certain ball patterns harder to see, especially when it darkens even more during Fever Time) and make good use of the fact that this is a virtual pinball game allowing for some creative mini-games that wouldn’t be possible in a traditional mechanical cabinet. Honestly, if you like pinball, you’ll probably find yourself sucked into both games for a good while. My biggest gripe with the game is the complete and utter lack of an online leaderboard. How this isn’t in the game is beyond me. For a game in which a high score is the only true goal, this is an extremely standard feature.

EDITED TO ADD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I bought this game because it’s pinball. I’m now aware that it’s part of a long running series of games, each apparently in a different genre. There’s also an anime series, but I’ve never seen it.

As a video pinball game it’s good, with two different tables. The first you can play in Day, Evening, or Night. The second table can be played during different seasons. There are 5 playable characters that you can play as, or you can select random and leave which character you play up to chance. Each table has a Local Leaderboard. Also, each of the 5 Story Mode Stages has it’s own High Scores board as well. You can select Letters, Numbers, and Symbols.

Thanks for such an awesome game! It works fine on GTX Titan cards, smooth motion. The playfield is a lot easier to see and understand now, love how amazingly colorful it is with the OLED display, similar to the fun of playing on the PS Vita. Learning how to setup the HTV Vive headset took some time. I needed to update the firmware over USB on the LightBoxes to get them to shutdown when Steam VR exits, as well as install the bluetooth driver and update them over bluetooth too. Also, I needed to update to the latest nVidia drivers to get the HTC Vive to run in Direct Mode, before doing that it seemed like it was not working properly at all, just displaying a copy of the desktop, unusable as far as I could see. Anyways, once Direct Mode drivers were installed and working, everything was fine. Far exceeded any expectations I had for this system. Pinball FX2 VR is a must-buy, it’s amazing how many tables are working already. The HTC Vive controller support still needs a little work, as it seems that there’s no way to accurately control the plunger e.g. as needed for the skillshots to get the Wisdom upgrade in Biolab, so for now I’ve still been using the wired XBOX ONE controller. It’d be great to be able to fully use the HTC Vive controllers, though, as they’re two separate controllers, one for each hand. I was having the occasional 3-second black screen when using a 15ft DisplayPort cable, but after switching to a 15ft HDMI Monster cable, all is working fine, so I can have the PC 15 ft away from the HTC link box, keeping the main area nice and quiet for gaming. There’s also a headphone port at the back of the headset, and in-ear headphones are provided that are very convenient and sound fine. Having some easy way to control the volume in-game could be helpful, at the moment adjusting the volume is kinda awkward. My system is usually setup for nVidia Surround, so if I click on the overlapping squares menu button on the HTC controller to use the Steam virtual interface and view the PC desktop that way from within the headset, all of the icons are very tiny indeed, barely usable. Still, minor inconvenience. Love the sunrise, the way the sunbeams come in and light up the game room is very well done. The latest nVidia 378.92 driver still seems kinda buggy, because if I click to enable stereoscopic 3D (for playing ordinary Pinball FX2 in 3D Vision, which is awesome too), the entire system works fine only until the next reboot, at which point nothing works until I reinstall the nVidia driver again. Scary! The best driver for 3D VISION on GTX Titan seems to be the old 327.23 and I’d been using it up until March 2017 completely successfully. Sadly, it doesn’t have “Direct Mode” support, hence the need to update to the newer 378.92 driver. Well, perhaps nVidia will fix the driver some day, it’s very puzzling why rebooting doesn’t get the system back to a clean state if I enable stereoscopic 3D, and the 378.92 driver needs to be reinstalled. Overall, it’s amazing fun to play this, and to see the beautiful Zen tables really coming to life. Your work on this is really appreciated! Oh, by the way, the menus for the game are too “HUGE” when running the game in 3D Vision Surround on three monitors, it’d be great if you could render the menus in 1920x1080 rather than in 6000x1080.

You can’t change the view so I guess they want it to feel like you’re playing a real (and most amazing) pinball machine.

I use an Xbox controller. I sit down get comfortable. Hold my HMD exactly arms length above my head, reaching for the ceiling. Press X on the controller to reset the view.

Put the HMD back on and it’s like you’re inside of the pinball machine. (or using view 5 or 6) And you’re looking UP for the mostpart with less strain on your neck. And I can get highscores for LONG periods of time. NOT STANDING and feeling like crap. Take my advice or suffice.

AppSir has developed a series that has many games under its belt. They have continually proved again and again that there is far more to their games than it seems, by connecting each and every one of them.

The rest of the games on steam have been platformers, this one changes things up by being more of a puzzle game that sort of resembles golf. This change doesn’t some out of nowhere however, the story explains just how and why the change was made. While I do prefer the gameplay of the dere.exe games, this one makes up for the simple gameplay just with the story it tells. As usual this game is incredibly story and lore rich for the series and I love it.
