New Pinball Table Ideas? - Post 'em Here

[E113]

Perhaps Zen could look into avatar unlocks (xbox 360) for individual tables for achieving some extreme challenge?

This is what I want to see implemented in more tables. At least gamerpics.

On thematic tables.
- Would love one based on Pirates or buccaneers.
- one with secret agents and missions involved with that.
- How about one that is based on conquerors in Medieval times like Rome?
- how about 1 involved deep sea adventures?
- how a silly themed cartoon like character that blows things up?

............wait......... There are already tables like that? What?...................
You xbox players are so lucky. Would love to have Rome Buccaneer and other tables for the PS3.

Wizard Modes Completed:
Buccaneer (01-06-11) Secrets of the Deep (01-20-11) Agents (01-24-11) Biolab (03-31-11)

Thanks. It was longer, but then I realized some of them I didn't actually complete as I originally thought. Example: Earth Defense. At first I thought I completed Wizard Mode because I unlocked the achievement for it. Then later realized there was an alternate way to unlock the achievement, which I had triggered.

Just keep at it, you'll get more with practice. ShoryukenToTheChin has some really nice table guides on MarvelPinball.com that are a big help. A lot of the newer tables seem to be a bit easier than the classics, but they all fall with enough practice and patience.

I don't post here much since I've historically been at the xbox forums (not many folks over there these days by the way) yet I've been coming here more and more often and noticed that Zen actually reads these forums which I think is great!! With that said I don't necasarily have a new table suggestion yet I'd like to make a couple of suggestions for the current FX2:

Is there any way that you can add a feature within multiplayer that I can switch tables at the end of a game rather than backing out and losing all the folks that are in the game with me/ continue playing the same table.

Also I was wondering if you guys had any intentions of adding some more avatar clothing? I'd like to see something a little more prestigious rewarded for something like completing all of the achievements (which I have not been able to accomplish....).

Thanks for your time and keep up the great work Zen

Yes a steampunk table would be table of the year by far!!

In agreement with lasvegas and lepruk on this.

A streampunk theme gives Zen a lot to work with without requiring a license agreement or anyone else's IP.

The idea that you can take a primitive technology make something new and unexpected fits both steampunk and pinball. Pipes, cogs, a factory feel; I think those concepts would work out really good with a little silver ball bouncing around them.
Plus you can make it your "own," doing anything you wanted with the artwork, characters, tone (dark/light). This is something I want more from Zen: your OWN ips, not that I have anything against licensed tables, I just prefer the fresh.

I'm not really a into the whole steampunk craze, although I am a bit fascinated with it. I don't dress the part or anything like that but just the way these people make primitive tools do modern day things is genius. And as Dalek stated, I think there is a lot of potential there for Pinball. I would love to see a steampunk table in Pinball FX's future. Preferably near future.

Steampunk-ish themed table with ray guns!

I agree about steampunk in general. No need to be slavish to it; just pinch ideas here and there.

[duwease]

Hmm, trying to think of themes I've never seen before..

- A cat burglar, stealing various precious items from museums with security systems
- A journey through the body, a la Fantastic Voyage
- Taking a boxer through his fighting career
- A clockwork table that rearranges itself for different modes

Steampunk FTW. Ever play Tesla on PS3? That's sorta Steampunkish. Hopefully 360 gets that table.

some interesting stuff. I like the one a la Fantastic Voyage. The cat burglar 1 is also a nice idea.

Trust me; You do not want buccaneers or Rome to be honest.

I'd quite like them to do a new Pirate-based table considering how far they have come since those original tables. Pirates are always awesome so giving the theme a table it deserves would be awesome.

Mo' Betta Tables

The whole progressive table concept is great. I like the one person's idea above where you take a boxer through a particular career. Nice. Here are a few other themes.

- Pro sports - Select a team, go for the championship! Licensing would probably be hard to come by though

- Movie based? - Old school physical machines were movie themed. Can you get into that also?

- Board game themes? - Monopoly, LIFE, Stratego, RISK???

- MARVEL themes - Marvel vs. Capcom!, Punisher, Venom, Civil War,

-More Street Fighter tables? - SFIV, SSFIV, Street Fighter 2, etc.

-Wing Commander style theme - Like Epic quest only you do dogfights rather than vs. battles. Outfit your fighter with various weapons and equipment (loot). Asteroid field = forest, travel to different systems, etc.

Welcome to the forums! Also, these are great suggestions! I love the board games idea, Risk would be INSANE, I love it!!

[SlippedGear]

A series of Jules Verne steampunk tables would be excellent! Extraordinary Voyages series with tables based on "A Journey to the Center of the Earth", "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "Around the World in 80 days" and "Mysterious Island" to mention a few. Pretty sure licensing would be a non issue for the most part.

Hungry Hungry Hippos would be insane too!
