Star Wars Pinball: Heroes Within

[Rafie]

Holy !%*&@! This table looks incredible. It didn't go into detail on what the table was about like the other Blogs but man. Is it like Starfighter where it's just aesthetics which side you pick? or the side you pick more revolved around the gameplay?

Zen, you certainly outdone yourselves on these table. Next week can't come fast enough.

So...the order I will play these tables,

Droids
Han Solo
Episode IV
Masters of the Force

I definitely agree with that order. That was the order I said I would play them in as well.

Masters Of The Force is the best looking Star Wars table, in my humblest opinion. I mean, wow...the detail that went into the table and how it looks and plays definitely makes it look like the best SW table. I'll save final judgement until I play them. These tables just look incredible. Kudos to Zen and big ups to Deep and the rest of the table designers!

I'll be joining @PSNation in about 5 minutes to show gameplay of the Masters of the Force table on twitch.tv/psnation

If you miss it, they usually upload the streams to their youtube channel.

That's the first time I've actually managed to watch a stream live

The table looks amazing, it's probably too early so say the best looking table of them all but I'm willing to stick my neck out and say it. If it plays half as good as it looks we are in for some serious fun!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I gotta agree with the others; these new tables have raised the bar AGAIN. I really can't wait to see what the tables look like in 2015!

[Roddy100]

I want to chime in as well to say that this whole pack looks incredible! I feel like the designers are really trying to up the ante this time!

And giving us a pack of four for no extra charge? Does any other game studio reward its customers the way Zen does? Doubtful.

Thanks so much and well done to all of you. Will be picking up this pack for my PS3 and Vita without a moment's hesitation

Thanks for watching!

Looks fantastic! 2 orbit LOCK points look interesting. Sorry don't want to diss Glenn but he has to learn that you could just allow the ball to bounce off the flipper or trap the ball so you can be more accurate with your shots. Anyways Slightly disappointed that the mini-game portion is identical for Dark and Light side other than art but no biggy.

Notes on the Droid table. Looks like it has a nice flow. I found it interesting that there was a timer on locking the ball after one of the missions.

Mission don't look overly complex shoot the Lanes where 'SHOT' is lit. Well I'm jumping the gun. Will have to play in order to delve into each table.

Kudos to Zen the Designers on bringing some new aspects to each table. Can't wait to see what you come up with in the months/years ahead.

wow the motf table looks awesome, the colors remind me of the excalibur table. only 6 more days, cant come soon enough.

[JaySTeeY]

Really looking forward to the tables, a big thank you to Zen, the designers, et al!

After only occasionally playing Pinball the last few years, finally got back into it this past weekend, after a XBL friend sent me a score challenge. He also reminded me of the spring sale, so I picked up some more tables, cool. The gameplay and designs are simply stunning, I regret not playing PFX2 sooner! I will have to add some more cash to my XBL acct, so I can download right away on Tues.

Will a SW tournament follow shortly behind the release? Possibly on "May the 4th"? (hint hint)

[s-carnegie]

only 4 more days !!

[mpad]

Wow. Very nice! Love the star wars tables. Some crazy designs There!
And it seems that a little more humor is coming to sw on zen.
Actually I'm looking forward to the droid table due to it's more simplistic design (for zen stsndards). And I noticed the T2 reference at the end of the trailer
Direct hit!

This is going to be more great fun, most looking forward to A New Hope....still don't get why the original trilogy wasn't released sequentially but it's all good.Now that the Star Wars cycle has concluded i wonder what will come next for Zen....can they possibly acquire the Indy license from Lucasarts?....would the new Disney regime even consider this, are any deals/promises they might have gotten from Lucasarts obsolete?

I get it confused everytime....if i want the Star Wars tables on both Zen2&SW platforms then i buy the Zen2 tables first......right?......last time i might have messed up because the Dr. Strange table never showed up on the Marvel Standalone Platform.

And also thx to Zen for throwing in the 4th table for free.May the force be with you!

Either or way will work. Both games have the import feature tied to the platform.

......last time i might have messed up because the Dr. Strange table never showed up on the Marvel Standalone Platform.

That's because Zen decided to skip the Marvel Standalone Platform (MSP). I doubt we are going to see anymore Marvel tables on the MSP for the PS3. The platform is a little outdated compared to Zen Pinball 2. It doesn't have the import feature (creating an even bigger mess for the PS4 version) and it suffers from a few game engine bugs (collision detection and color bleeding).

Ahh ok thx for the intel.
