Looks good according to the screenshots http://store.steampowered.com/app/314000/ and is cheap (free and less than $5 for full access to all areas) on Steam. Just came out Dec 7.
New 3D pool game Pool Nation FX
- Thread starter hang-the-9
- Start date
Looked at this one quite a bit before deciding to try out Virtual Pool 4 first - definitely interesting - Lots to like, very flashy. Will probably try it out after I get my feet under me in VP4.
Anybody use VP on a tablet? I have it on my iPad mini and find cue speed hard to control. Also, how do you know how much spin you are putting on the CB?
Even though I'm still getting used to Virtual Pool 4 (still loving it), thought I'd go ahead and try Pool Nation - since the thread was here for discussion. Downloaded and installed the free Online-only FX version from Steam (also available on X-Box apparently).
:frown: Unfortunately, I don't have nearly as smooth of a graphics play, i.e. it jumps and skips several frames when I break, and the mouse feels like I'm dragging it through oat meal - regardless of the video settings and mouse settings I've tried. Now my 'puter's not bad - I have Win 7 Pro on a Asus laptop with an I-7 processor and a discreet NVidia card - usually I keep up with any online game I play no problem. I'm hoping this is just a configuration issue that I can improve.
FLASHY is right! - lots of flash and cool stuff
- I haven't seen any 'normal' looking balls or cues in the piles of unlocks, though. It all looks like neon candy.
Some of the features - Artistic Pool and Endurance look pretty interesting and fun - don't know if I'll play enough to unlock them, but they look to be quite cool.
Anyway - until I see a smoother interface, the game does not even compare to VP4. If the interface was better, It could be a lot of fun - maybe - if I can get past the neon candy theme. I'll update if I can get better play out of it, and welcome suggestions.
