An interesting idea

I havn't read though all of the ideas, but a walking dead theme would be amazing, or if zen was able to get the hasbro licence and drop optimus prime table with peter cullen voicing.

Spongebob Squarepants


Crabburgers as bumpers
Gary the snail or Patrick Star can help with missions
The more food hi gets, how faster/stronger hi will become

Challenges: Bake 10+ burgers in 45 secs, Catch 20 jellyfish before time runs out, wake up Octo 5 times in a row to challenge him or stop him playing with his clarinet.

Final mission, prevent Sheldon J. Plankton from stealing the secret recept.
And beat his computer Karen. Or beat a giant (robot) jellyfish created by Mr Crabs (if enemy)

What do you think guys??

love it!!!

Dude, I would be all over that table. They better work in all the classic references too. And after you beat the table they have to play the "Sweet, Sweet Victory" song from the Band Geeks episode, lol. A personal favorite.

It was indeed Ty Roberts. I had to go back and find the video. It seems like you're suggesting that there won't a Peggle table. I have no feelings for Peggle so it doesn't bother me if it's true. Here's a link to the vid if interested. It's from PAX.

We don't have one in the makings yet, but people keep requesting it like crazy, so maybe someday!

Was it Ty Roberts in the interview? Super awesome guy, but is no longer with PopCap.

Suggestions for Tables

Unlicensed
Western
I know, others have suggested it, but I certainly want to support that by adding in my vote. I'm a sucker for a good western. Get some music and themes that are inspired by the Dollars Trilogy and I'll be there will bells on... or spurs. Or completely pantsless since I'll be in my living room anyway, so what do you care? ;-)

Dinosaurs
I do loves me some dinosaurs, ever since I was a kid. I remember the Jurassic Park pinball machine that had that great Tyrannosuarus head that would gobble up the pinball if it landed in the right spot on the table. Man, that was a hoot. Now, I don't mean to suggest that you should do something identical... that would be stupid. Just dinosaur themed, preferably scientifically accurate because I'm just a little too nit picky. While the meteor theory isn't generally taken seriously by the paleontology community, the visual of a meteor slamming into the board if triggered and causing havoc would be fantastic. Maybe that would be the multiball: the meteor crashes down, shatters into three pieces, those pieces being the balls.


Licensed:
Bastion
With its colourful landscape and the different areas that are represented throughout the game's world, the table would likely be beautiful in its design. The missions almost write themselves through acquiring the cores and shards, dispatching squirts, gasbags, turrets and so forth. Having Rucks, the narrator, narrate the proceedings would be a must.

Some sort of visual representing the Bastion coming back into being would be important, as well. Not sure how that would work, whether in the upper center of the table or around the table's edge.

This is a terrible idea, but... I'd like to see a table based on Night Trap (you know, that infamous SEGA CD game). The game's cheesy FMV could play on the table itself or be reworked into a separate video mode. It would be a great way to mark the game's 20th anniversary. Or not.

I'd bet money on a Peggle table being made. There was a video interview with a guy from PopCap and he stated that they really wanted to do a Peggle table first but ultimately it was decided that a PvZ table would do better initially.

As for other table suggestions, it's all in the sig baby

I hear peggle as a pinball theme a lot. But isn't peggle basically a glorified pachinko/bagatelle machine. If you have an iOS device, play bagatelle pinball. It is boring and rewards luck more than skill as opposed to pinball which rewards skill more than luck.

[Bearded_Warrior]

On a much lighter note and has been suggested since the Pop Cap license of Pvs Z:

Peggle

The back/upright part of the table (like the house section of Paranormal) would be the Peggle playfield. Once the ball enters the upper area through whatever means, the view would zoom in to that section full screen and the Peggle aiming/shooting would begin. This has awesome gameplay elements and I really hope we see this happen.

So, there are more of us suggesting multitable-tables, as I also brought up a while ago:

https://forum.zenstudios.com/showthread.php?4230-Release-date&p=30948&viewfull=1#post30948

We need this to happen, this would be beyond epic, regardless of which theme is used cause it'll still be pure Zen awesomeness
(where can I press the "like" button?)

I like this idea! A better way to tackle this table is for it to be a large rotating cube. Think of the cube in the Paranormal table, but the whole table is the cube. Once you activate a mission, the table flips to a different playfield.
