Never heard of blackout before, looks interesting.
I'm dying for Swords of Fury myself.

I want Blackout too, but nobody seems to care about the early solid state tables. The sounds on that era of Williams are the coolest.

It would be great if FarSight were able to renew their deal with WMS. They may be too busy with Stern TPA.
Blackout is a really cool table, I've played the one at Logan Arcade in Chicago. I wouldn't mind it!
Everyone has been clamouring for Rollergames, including myself. I love that table.
Swords of Fury is awesome. I play it quite often now that we have one at a local pinball collective. I love the theme and art and it's got my favorite music of any Pinball table.

+1 for Rollergames, I recently bought my second one, after deciding it's a game that I'll wanna play long after my heart and brain give out. Pure Steve Ritchie fun.
I don't think we are getting any more Bally/Williams tables. The last one was Dr. Who, which was the kickstarter table. Eight Ball Deluxe was probably the last surprise Bally/WMS. That was August. Indy 500 was June. Before that was Hurricane in February.
That's 2 Bally and 1 WMS table this year that we didn't kickstart.
Compare that to the 10 (excluding KS Addams) from the year before. 9 the year before that. 26 non-KS Bally/WMS tables between S1 and S2.
Next Month's Alvin G table makes 4 months without a Bally/WMS (Dr. Who) which is the longest we've ever gone without getting a new one (3 months earlier this year and 3 months at the end of season 2). And it ain't for the lack of tables to choose from.
I think it's pretty clear something is up, they know WMS/Bally are the most popular and I'm sure they would make those tables if they could. Alvin G is like, bottom barrel. I'm pretty sure everyone would rather we got Capcom. They are only going after cheap licenses.

Is there any official news if Farsight is actually working on any new tables for Pinball Arcade? Or are they to busy with SPA?
Whoops I just saw the post above, Alvin G a pinball machine? Gonna have to google it, I never heard of it.

I'm thinking they are in negotiations and because of that, they can't divulge anything.

I just checked out Blackout on YouTube. Wow! Looks amazing. Sci-fi just as I like it: dark, spooky, retro. It would make a great companion to Black Hole.
Yes, please.
Yes, please.

FarSight has also had the bad habit of disabling login to TPA and SPA, table goals and steam achievements. Yes, there was that one-off time with Xenon, and a few other minor cases where it took multiple times achieving a goal to get it to register, but now it's a trend. First, there was the "3 specials" goal on BB, now there's DW:MoT where goals do toggle but achievements don't register, and Gladiators where none of the goals toggle.
I'm hoping season 7 does get better, but FarSight needs to focus on the quality and quantity of their games, not the quality and quantity of bugs within their games.

Not me. I've played pretty much every Capcom, and they're all pretty average games. The only one that I really want to see in TPA is Kingpin, but that is probably the least likely one to ever make it.

Tinfoil hat theory time: Stern demanded that Farsight lay off from popular Williams/Bally tables for a while so SPA could take the spotlight. Anyone else think that's plausible?
