Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force coming soon!

I mean a SW fan can be interested by this license and not really by an original Zen Studios table.

Indeed! I got 5 friends that have been asking me about Zen Pinball 2 after playing Star Wars Pinball (thanks to PS Plus). All five of them don't care much for pinball in general, but they are huge SW fans.

That's exactly why some of these licenses are birthed. Most of us are pinball fans already. The fact that Marvel/Star Wars tables are here is only a plus for us. However, I have spoken to those on my friend's list on the PSN who weren't pinball fans before playing these licensed tables. Guess what....now they are! Not only that, they also liked Pinball Arcade too after playing Zen Pinball 2 (although they lean towards Zen more). So it's proof that these licensed tables entice casual players to play pinball of their favorite franchise. Comics and Star Wars are pretty much geek territory (not being facetious here. I'm a proud geek! I mean no offense to anyone by that statement).

So I guess it's both. Some people just want original IP tables, which I can understand. Then you have those who adore these licensed tables. Me?! I don't care either way.

For me the Theme is just a plus, if the Table has good interesting mechanics and flow then its Golden.

As you steeve, and Zen always surprise me by developing new concepts and new ideas for the game, whatever the theme. But I'd still like to see again a new universe created by the team. Hopefully this license attracts new gamers to motivate them to do it.

Very true, I just want to know what will Zen be bringing over to the PS4 and X1... the possibilities are endless.

no trailer today , i was expecting one today , been one week since the announcement

All I can say is WOW! These pins look amazing! I am glad that Zen doesn't have to stick just to the actual movies themselves. I hated the prequels, but Lucas did ask his good buddy Spielberg if he would direct them and he declined. I too hope for some original tables, but as noted before me, big licenses attract the more casual player. Then once you're sucked in, that's it you're done. You yearn for the next release and then the next and so on. I sure do hope one of the Jedi get their own tribute table. (Hint, hint.) I look forward to this with much aplomb and don't forget Kickbeat it is really a unique and fun game. I am hoping we get Castlestorm for the PS3 as well. As usual great stuff Zen, can't wait until this releases!

You mean original IP tables? When you say "real" tables, I think of actual tables in the real world like FunHouse, Gorgar, Cirque Voltaire, etc. Those can be found on the Pinball Arcade. Original IP tables of Zen would be like the ones you mentioned plus a few more like Sorcerer's Lair, Epic Quest, Shaman, El Dorado, Paranormal, Biolab, etc..etc!

I mean original virtual tables with a theme/story/hero doesn't appear in movies, comic books or other games. No, I didn't mean recreations of real-life tables. I also have some of them (Future Pinball etc.) but they aren't that interesting if you haven't had the chance to play real tables. There were no arcades in my place...only 1 random pinball table in a pub but I was too young back then or it was too expensive...so no locations with 10 different tables side by side

I enjoyed playing Pro Pinball, Future Pinball and some others before Pinball FX2 came out but I like Pinball FX2 so much more, the range of tables, the controls (XBOX360 pad with rumble).

I have some friends that are Star Wars fans but they don't like pinball at all. I agree there are some that are attracted by the theme but the gamers I know either play any pinball tables (because they love pinball) or they don't play at all. They play The Old Republic etc...

I'd love to see a Castlestorm pinball table!

Anticipation high.

Is it just me or artwork aside does the Starfighter table's layout look a lot like V6? V6 being one of my least favorite Zen tables I hope it plays drastically different.

What the heck is V6? Half of the V12 table?

Sorry! I couldn't resist!

I personally don't see the resemblance.

LOL yes and your highscore is half too, cause you can play only with one side

Don't see the ressemblance too... and hope it's different.
