Official - Creature from the Black Lagoon & Black Knight Are Next Tables

FIGHT! AGAINST! ZREE! ENEMIES! *clomp clomp crack clomp*

CftBL looks highly interesting, to be honest I found Monster Bash a bit boring, too symmetrical, and a bit quiet next to the loud tables like MM or RBION. Creature has some nice loops and great, trashy art, even more so than MB. I will definitely check it out on iOS and am looking forward to see it in its fully glory on the 360 when I'm old

Is that what the Knight was saying? I could never figure it out!

Awesome tables. Can't wait until Star Trek TNG and Twilight Zone though

Yep Three enemies for 3 ball multiball, two enemies for 2 balls.

Just been checking out the new tables on IPDB.

Black Knight looks awesome. I think I played the real table as a kid. My Dad used to travel for work, so during holidays I'd travel with him, but the daily treat used be a milkshake in 'The little chef' (motorway cafe chain) and a game on whatever pinball table was in that particular restaurant. This is definitely one we played.

CFTBL looks great, only worry is that is a hell of a lot of clear ramp!
Since Android got its texture optimisation update, tables with clear ramps (TOTAN) have been crippling the GPU on less powerful devices.
I Hope Ryan give us the menu option to downgrade the graphics before this one is released!
Table looks awesome though!

Licensed Music

Creature from the black lagoon has some licensed music in it. I’m wondering if it will remain intact. According to Wikipedia, it “features such 50s classic songs like Rock Around the Clock, Get a Job, and Summertime Blues.”

Should be fine to have them in the game.

yay, Black Knight, another of my fave tables from university .

It always sounds odd hearing the speech in English though. For some reason ours spoke French. Lots of yelling about "CHEVALIER NOIR".

Really looking forward to playing CFTBL...

...Y'know...

...When it's out for the 360...

 

[DopedToInfinity]

CFTBL will always remind me of Scarborough, I used to play it for hours with my dad "MOVE YOUR CAR!!!"

 

[Franky]

speaking about scared stiff - isn't there a spider gimmick in the backbox? i'm wondering how they are going to convert this.

Presumably in the same way they handled Cirqus Voltaire's backglass cannon.

thanx, but i'm still wondering since 360 means no cirqus.

So is this July release of Creature from the Black Lagoon and Black Knight for the Android and Kindle Fire only?

Or will us PS3 owners get these tables for TPA in July too?

The camera pans up to the backglass for the duration of whatever's going on up there, and then drops back down to whatever angle it was at before.

There's no date named for Android and Kindle in the message, only that DLC3 is availble for those 2 as well now.

I wouldn't expect either console to see this in July.

 

[Matt McIrvin]

If we're lucky and Farsight has their act together, the consoles might see them in August. Generally speaking, the Android and iOS versions come out first.
