[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 284515, member: 134"] Damn Pete, that's some serious hate you have there for Zen! I mean that's some Grade A vitriol you got right there. So first off, Zen didn't sucker punch FarSight. Scientific Games actually approached Zen a few years back, but they were neck deep in licenses like Portal, South Park, and Fox and needed to take care of those first. Scientific approached them again sometime between 2016 and 2017, the rest being history. Zen said yes to an opportunity, but they aren't the bad guys. You also don't have to feel like a traitor. It is possible to like multiple digital pinball games, it's not a case of being a Red Sox and Yankees fan. Do you hate Zaccaria Pinball too? For a "lame company that makes really terrible star wars pinball tables" (really? I mean c'mon) they sure are killing it with graphics and physics of these Williams tables, don't you think? In all the time FarSight was doing the game, they couldn't even be bothered to put in a floor image that was hi-res. They found a nice groove with visuals of the tables during season 3, but never went back and spruced up all the AAA offerings from the first 2 seasons. Meanwhile Zen has continually upgraded old tables through each iteration of the platform, from FX to FX2 to FX3. It's the difference between owning a classic car by keeping it in a garage and polishing the paint, to fully restoring the thing to better than off the factory floor quality. FarSight didn't mistreat them, they didn't let 'em whither in the back yard, but now they are in a true collectors hands that wants them to be all they can be. What was the last Zen original table you tried? Just curious. There's a big difference between when they were making tables like V12 compared to something like Aliens or Adventureland. And until FarSight comes out with a new engine, they aren't slamming anything out of the park and will be lucky if they can get a double. Meanwhile Zen is acting like they are at the home run derby and just crushing it. [/QUOTE]
