That's surprising. Sinbad belongs to the TOTAN and is license free.
Independence Day is part of Sony? Dang, I'd like to see that, too!
I would love a Fifth Element table if only for the inevitable 'multipass multiball'.
If you listen to the latest Blahcade podcast - (and you should! ) one of the things Bobby King from Farsight Studios talks about is a bulk licensing deal with Sony Pictures. He doesn't give out table details, but here is a list of Sony Pictures & related properties to get you thinking:
- Krull
- Starship Troopers
- Last Action Hero
- Godzilla
- Goldeneye
- Mary Shelley ' s Frankenstein
- Johnny Mnemonic
- Spiderman
Think about those & smile ...
My opinion:
Last Action Hero = YES. If you're looking for a Data East table for TPA then look no father then this one. 3 six-ball multiball modes, 12 separate modes, and a great main multiball make this an underrated gem of a machine. If this and Tales from the Crypt were included in Season 4 then that would probably satisfy the Data East quota.
Starship Troopers = I remember making a table request thread for this a while back. While it's rules are a bit gimmicky the layout is pretty neat, and the mini flipper is novel. Maybe save it for next season.
Godzilla = While I like this table (it's like Harley-Davidson minus the unnessecarry hurry-ups and annoying voices) I'm worried that it won't make it into the game. I am crossing my fingers though.
Goldeneye = Nice flowing layout and toys (the satellite kicks butt) but pretty sure that it would be pretty costly to obtain the license.
Frankenstein = This needs to be released in Pinball Arcade not because of theme but because it was the first table created by SEGA. Nice John Borg layout with lots of unique shots.
Johnny Mnemonic = I WANT ROOM SERVICE (no seriously this needs to be in the game)
Spiderman = Love this table but doesn't Zen already have the license in their game?
Are you a lawyer? As an engineer this whole license thing is way over me head.Something to keep in mind is that the licenses need to be of about the same value. In other words, of the block purchased, using only 2 tables as an example, one table can't be 70% of the purchase and 30% for the other. They have to be right out 50/50 so that one license isn't being screwed out of residuals while the other is collecting more than it should.

Someone ask Facebook Farsight if there's any chance of Total Recall, please . I've had zero chance of contributing to any kickstarters so far, but I'd pay $10 for Total Recall. And more if they could make the head-to-head play work. (But before I get ahead of myself, I'd pay for tournaments on PC before this.)v Someone asked about Krull on Facebook and Farsight said it wasn't in their plans, so scratch that one off for right now.
That Total Recall table NEEDS to happen.
