The On-Going "What has FarSight said about ___ table?" List Thread

[Kolchak357]

Would Nightmare on Elm have to go in Pinball After Dark? I haven't played it enought to know all the dot animations and audio.

 

[rehtroboi40]

Yup!

Here's my guess for Season 4:

Season 4

1. Phantom of the Opera
2. Earthshaker
3. The Party Zone
4. The Getaway: High Speed II
5. Jack*Bot
6. Red & Ted's Roadshow
7. Safe Cracker
8. The Addams Family
9. Cyclone
10. Bone Busters or Freddy: A Nightmare on Elm Street

I think we'll sooner get "Sharkey's Shootout" for our Stern table instead of POTO, though I would prefer Monopoly or RCT.
If BB and Freddy were a two-for-one, I'd definitely be pleased. But just Freddy will do.

All the rest look like sure bets for sure. R&T, Getaway and TAF are the three I'm looking forward to the most.

Sounds like a good season to me! That would pretty much take care of all my "must have's" except for Banzai Run, which is really more of a would like to have if I'm being completely honest with myself. Only one problem with that list though...no Stern. They won't go an entire season without one, so which table gets bumped and which Stern would get put in?

Maybe RCT. Instead of Cyclone unfortunately.
Both are great though.

Honestly, most of those tables don't interest me. As I've discussed privately with some on here, we already have some of those tables, they just have different names:

The Getaway: High Speed II= High Speed
Earthshaker= Whirlwind
The Party Zone= Dr. Dude
Jack*Bot= Pin*Bot / Bride of Pin*Bot

The good thing, though, is that 99% of those tables are highly popular, highly requested, and some even finish up sequels and trilogies, so might as well get them out of the way now and make most everyone happy. Personally, I want more early SS tables like "Xenon", "F-14 Tomcat", "Mousin Around", etc. I'm really burned out on the goofy toys and DMD.

So yeah, I hope my list is at least half way right, because it would basically be Season 3: Part II, and I think this season has been overall the best we've had yet. (From the table choices, to better artwork, to better gameplay)

As for a Stern table, I doubt we'll get one next season, I just don't see one that jumps out. I'd love nothing more than to see "Monopoly", but they already more or less ruled that out on the FB page when they said that EA owns the rights. Also, the last I heard, the rights for the RCT license was up for sale, so sadly, I doubt we'll see that one anytime soon.

Yes, we've gotten a Stern table each season, but again, I'm gonna say we won't see one next season....just a guess.

No, it's honestly not that bad at all.

Ya know, I'm gonna disagree with you there. We already have "Big Shot" and "Cue Ball Wizard", and they've yet to put in EBD, even though it's highly, highly requested, so I doubt they'd add "Sharkey's Shootout" before EBD. I'm gonna say we'll see POTO before "Sharkey's shootout", at least I'm hoping we will, anyway.

As for a BB/Freddy Halloween pack next season, that would be great!!!

We're never getting Monopoly.

Still hoping we get to see TSPP in 2015.If that's the last stern table we ever get than that's fine with me

As much as people may want Phantom of the Opera, I have my doubts on this one given that it's a Data East system that needs to be emulated. (At least it's a system with a few extra unlicensed pins...) I see one of the more mentioned System 11s (like say F-14 or Mousin) slipping in instead.

Freddy also is probably Pinball After Dark. (Which is a pity because if they *have* to throw a Gottlieb in and they hate <1980 pins, this wouldn't be a bad one to do.)

Dokken, that's a lot of Lawlor in that proposed season, isn't it? Might as well make it Lawlor-top-heavy by throwing in one of the Lawlor Sterns as the Stern choice (meaning Sharkey's Shootout would get bumped for either Rollercoaster Tycoon, Monopoly, and/or Grand Prix...)

Lawor was completely absent this series, so might as well make up for it

I think Season 4 will finally be the year we get a Data East table. I like my chances even more, seeing that POTO is highly requested, is a non licensed table, and shouldn't be too hard to emulate. I guess we'll see if we'll be getting that or "Bone Busters, Inc." for Halloween.

As for "Freddy", I'm not sure why everyone keeps going on and on about it having to be a PAD table?!? Have any of you even played it? lol The table art, nor DMD, have NOTHING that would warrant it's exclusion for TPA. It's not like TFTC, which is iust over the top gore. Trust me, if it ever gets made, it won't be going to PAD.

Yes, you are right, I was confusing it with TFTC for some reason. *doh*

Freddy's biggest obstacle will be Robert Englund. My guess is, he's not going to be very cheap...

No, he will not, but I don't see why it couldn't get done.

I keep holding out hope for that one.

That is actually a very good guess for the season four lineup (maybe not the exact order but the overall content anyway). They're all very plausible and good selections. I wouldn't be surprised if you were right on around 8 out of 10 of them.

I somewhat disagree on the part about the sequels being very similar to the originals though. While they have very similar looks in most cases the gameplay is usally quite different. HS and HS2 for example look very similar at first glance but play completely different.

I never meant them to be in order, but yeah, I'd be shocked if we got anything that wasn't in that list.

One thing to keep in mind - Season 4 will finish up in July. So you'll miss the fall window for the "spooky" releases.

Of course - FS could always release a themed table at any time,so there is that...

TZ could easily fit into the horror category, but it was released in February...

or was that the PS3 release and it was much earlier on other platforms?

It's always horror time. (e.g. Monster Bash)

Unless of course they take a little break after releasing TAF. I could definitely see them taking a month or so off, and then getting right back at it, as it would certainly put them back on schedule.

Now that wouldn't surprise me.

I don't think FS are likely to take a break any time soon. The montly table is their livelihood.

They are raking in the money big time at present why change that
