I haven't posted here much, in the past year. This was mostly due to health issues. I hope to get more, back into playing, and posting about pinball again. I apologize if these "wishes" have already been discussed, which they likely have, but if so, and any of these upgrades/changes have already been confirmed for PFX4, I'd love to know. 
So here's my Wish List for Pinball FX4 on the PlayStation 5:
1. Importing of ALL existing, table purchases. It's always a bit disappointing to have some of your tables left behind, and unsupported, on a new console.
2. New graphical effects: ray tracing, which would of course, look incredible with pinball, 4K resolution, HDR support.
3. 120Hz mode. More and more consumer-grade TV's are including this. I believe the feel of 120Hz would be totally ideal for a fast moving game of pinball! I remember going from 30fps to 60fps, with Pinball Arcade, and there was just no going back. This really should be considered.
4. More classic, real table conversions, from Williams (of course!), Data East, Sega, and so on. Including those which require extra licensing (crowd fund, if need be) Adams Family, Star Wars, The Simpsons, etc..
5. It would be great to have control over the table lighting. Both room ambience, as well as table bulbs. Night/day modes. As well as some light up balls (GlowBalls™?), for good measure. I miss this, from The Pinball Arcade's tables. This, along with ray tracing, would give the visuals, a boost in realism.
6. Make full use of the PS5 DualSense controller. I imagine, that the combination of haptic feedback, along with adaptive triggers, could possibly emulate the satisfying mechanical button feel of a real pinball table. Maybe 3D audio could also enhance something as well.
7. Give us a real Photo Mode, with 360° camera control, lens FX (depth of field, for example), different lighting options, and so on. The last bunch of Williams' tables look so nice. It would be great to be able to share some glorious "artistic" pinball shots with friends. It seems like it might also be good, free, advertising for Zen as well.
8. VR modes for all tables. We don't need elaborate backgrounds, just a nice pinball arcade setting, with our other existing tables would be great. And VR doesn't need to be more than 3D stereoscopyand head tracking. With the more powerful PS5+PSVR 2, on the way, this would be better than ever. Pinball in VR is one of my favorite things to play, even on the dated PSVR.
That's all I can think of for now. -Matt
