CONTEST: Predict Season 5 & Table Packs 39 & 40!

[Sean]

[MENTION=3745]vikingerik[/MENTION]: I think it's more likely they'll do Eight Ball Deluxe with a different member of staff doing the voice samples each month for a year. Eight Ball Deluxe Ultimate All-Star Farsight Edition will be the biggest-selling virtual pinball series of all time!

39) Road Show
40) Stargate
41) The Getaway
42) Catacomb
43) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
44) F-14 Tomcat
45) Safe Cracker
46) Time Machine
47) The Simpsons Pinball Party
48) Big Guns
49) Breakshot
50) Seawitch

This makes me happy I could list ATLEAST one more season I would be excited to see, even more if they start mixing in some EMs like they should. How many seasons worth do you guys foresee?

I have no idea how many more seasons there will be, but I'd be excited about at least 100 more seasons, and I'm not exaggerating even a tiny bit, as I'm sure there are at least 1,000 tables I'd like to play. Also, if I saw 100 more seasons, it would mean I would live about 80 more years. Which is pretty good, though I'd like to see the year 2100. Pinball will still exist then of course, and TPA as well, but the way you will play TPA is to tell your robot you'd like to purchase Season 105, and your robot will then order the parts from the hardware store, drones will drop the parts in your backyard, and your robot will build the actual machines for you. Excelsior!

Yeah, and the ball still goes flying off of Cirqus Voltaire and into the Netherealm, only to respawn by the plunger.

I really love that bug and hope they never fix it.

"My robot"...yea; I think of Isaac Asimov's stuff a lot.

 

[Michael DiFilippo]

Yeah, I'd expect to see FS pursue 100 tables to complete the life of PA. Then in about a few years they will make a new game, new engine, new licence agreements etc. That would be glorious.

 

[Extork]

This thread deserves a little bump

 

[Locksley]

This thread deserves a little bump

If just to show how many 'possible' tables we still want! There's two seasons easily there

Here's a score update! So, many people picked HS2 as Table Pack #41, giving them 30 points (if they picked RS as #39), and many of those picked SC somewhere, giving them 40 points. But all of these people picked SC at Table Pack #45 or later, giving zero bonus points, while @Dedpop picked it at #44, giving one bonus point, so he's in first with 41 points, for now.

Of the 34 entrants...
18 picked RS at #39, and HS2 at #41.
19 picked all of RS, SC, and HS2.
Nobody picked SC at #40.
