Table Pack 26 Announcement?

[PC.Doctor]

Now that the poll is over for the next table of table pack 26 (obviously Diner), how long do we have to wait until FS makes an announcement on the next table pack?

I know they usuallly announce a table pack after the release of the table pack before that one just by giving out a hint. So does anybody know wat's going on with FS at this moment?

It takes some time for them to create a pin. So unless they already had some of the Diner work in process there is a chance you might not see it for a couple months. I'd guess June is more likely for Diner.

If they are keeping form, then the May pin won't officially be announced for a couple of weeks.

That and the clues point to Junkyard more than Diner.

OK, so Junkyard will be the next table for table pack 26 and Diner will be the next table for table pack 27. Come to think of it, Junkyard has been in the Pending line for quite sometime. So it is pretty fair for Junkyard to go next before Diner (I just like to have a food pin in my collection and hopefully in the future play the actual pin).

Also, I do know the process of turning a pinball machine into a virtual version and that does take at least a month to do so (just that we are all on the same boat).

They said that the poll winner (diner) will be released during season 3.
But they didn't say when so there's no guarantee that it will be released just after junkyard.

Man, I wish Earthshaker would have won. Been waiting for that since PHOF on the Wii.

I'm not sure how long it really takes either. Here is a vid that FS posted to show a little bit of how they do it. Pretty interesting if you haven't seen it before.

Oh, there's a poll available for that! http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/7757-Season-3-Poll-Satisfactions

They announce the game 3 weeks after the hint is made available to us, I believe.

Sorry, but I'm glad "Diner" won, as we already have a disaster themed table.

I wouldn't get too sad about it, it's pretty much a lock for next season. It gets requested as much as "Diner" did.

Now I get it. The picture of Teed'Off had an image that relates to the next pack (in this case, toast). I never played or saw Junkyard, but I do believe it has some game mode that must have to do something with toast. I just didn't see the toast before, I just assumed it was was on the actual back glass of Teed Off..

I'm glad Diner won, as we already have a million Lawlors that all play the same and don't need another in Earthshaker.

Besides, people will just loop center ramp til the cows come home on earthshaker. it's the best strategy.

It's so bad that people running tournaments will actually add flipper hop to mess up your ability to loop it. it's as bad as the first DE star Wars.

No, not a disaster of a table

Haters.

Well the same thing happens in Diner, some people's main strategy is to loop the left ramp over and over until they maximize the dine-time jackpot value. Also aren't the cows fencing against pirates or stampeding or getting kidnapped by Martians or something? They'd never come home at that rate

 

[Zaphod77]

Well yes but 1) it's capped, and 2) you then have to do something else to actually score it.
