This statement is incorrect.
Again, I've heard "Yes" and "No" from multiple TPA mods on the FB page, and now again here.
I wish we had a difinitive answer. :-(
This statement is incorrect.
I think it's safe to trust Pin Wiz when it comes to getting correct info.
I tend not to take anything on Facebook too seriously unless it is an actual news release from FS.
The stuff you find in FB comments tends to be just to answer simple questions and have a prescence in there. Things like: we like that pin too, you never know, and not in the near future, and those kind of responses don't hold a lot of weight with me. I'm sure you've probably got that feeling too when reading FB comments.
When I mean "Responses", I mean posts from whoever is running TPA Facebook page, not any Joe Schmoe.
That's what I mean too. It just feels like a little pr to placate the FB masses. Not much real news or anything definite in any of those (for the most part). I tend to believe what you hear in here though. As you know there are plenty of FS employees in here and the mods are pretty well connected. Just my opinion.
My opinion is that FS has enough non Data East tables to fill Season 3. I also assume there will need to be a lot of work to emulate DE pins properly and there have been none released so far. I asked on FB whether any DE tables would be released in Season 3 and I was told no. That of course can change and we won't know until a year from now. I would like Tales from the Crypt also, but if they've already emulated Class of 1812 I can see Freddy Nightmare on Elm Street being released before Tales as a "horror" table.
Lettuce: I am not one of the pickiest guys out there, but if 2/3 of that list makes it into season 3 I will be more than satisfied. Good List! (I am betting FS will mix in a few more Gottliebs in there though)
The only one that is not gonna happen for sure is Indiana Jones. That was a difficult license before but after Disney bought all Lucas properties, the situation got ten times worse.
Any Disney license is almost impossible, (ref: Bobby King) sadly. Indiana Jones would have been a sweet addition.
I want Freddy and t.f.t.c. more than anything this needs to happen i beg of you.......
The only pinball company that will be able to acquire licenses for disney stuff is Zen Studios but that's becasue they have pre-existing licening aggreements with them. That being said, i don't know if disney is going to keep letting zen get licenses
But the games that Zen makes will not be for remakes of the original tables (or any future physical tables). They can only create new digital pinball games.
Cue Ball Wizard > EBD
And yet I had never heard of CBW before the recent polls. Eight Ball Deluxe is a classic; CBW is that table that MS took a stab at.
