I'm hoping that this forces FarSight to step things up and make better use of their licenses in general. Newer modern Sterns that are hot right now, popular older modern Sterns, Stern Electronics, Gottlieb, Data East, Sega, whatever, just follow up WN and BBH with something halfway decent that...
I'd love to take a crack at JM in FX3. I always felt it probably wouldn't feel right if it had made it in TPA. But the less floaty the better for a table like that that's supposed to be lightning fast.
My top 10:
The Shadow
Congo
Indiana Jones
Flash Gordon
Flash
Rollergames
Skateball
Mousin' Around!
Bad Cats
Fire!
Also will gladly welcome any S1/S2 tables that critically needed improvement, like Monster Bash.
Stern owns the DE assets. I don't see them licensing them to a direct competitor of FarSight, even if they aren't using them.
But maybe Zen Williams will inspire FarSight to actually use their DE assets again. That'd be a nice thing to come out of this new environment where there's finally...
Now that the future of digital WMS recreations is back on track, the return of wishlists is inevitable, so I figured I'd make a thread for them. Not sure if Zen watches this forum, but it can't hurt to get the community feedback ball rolling.
Post your top most wanted Bally/Midway/Williams...
Even if it's 7+ I won't mind. It took FarSight 6 years. If they just release 2 4-packs per year, that's 64 in 8 years, without having to abide by the once per month model that hindered TPA's quality.
I'll be happy if we just get a few tables FarSight didn't do.
Made me think of BrolyLegs. He'll probably just keep using his mouth. Damn fine invention though. Nice to see companies concerned with helping people break into gaming who previously couldn't.
Jeff knows what's up.
Dear god that was the best batch I've ever had in my life.
As for SoR4, did...
Williams Star Wars now a possibility again.
Meanwhile Stern and Data East Star Wars still probably doomed to limbo.
Sorry for that, it just hurts my soul.
Neat, I completely glossed over the fact he was leaning on a Fastbreak. Zen tournaments with Fastbreak would be amazing.
My favorite museum bit was when they showed the EM wall. A man can dream that it was meant to be a hint, even if only for the distant future.
A bit of wild speculation:
While the machines shown in the trailer can be taken with a grain of salt, since many are shown at the Budapest Pinball Museum and the rest have presumably been at Zen Studios for a while (hey syt, ever been to Zen in Hungary to confirm this? :p ), I find the scene...
It probably depends on how their efforts with LCDs and going day-and-date with new Stern releases pan out.
If they can start pumping out modern Sterns in step with the real tables, I think that alone would justify building a new game engine. If not, then probably not.
