I can definitely see a LBP, R&C, or GOW table if Zen had a good deal with Sony. That would be frickin' EPIC! I mean on "godly" levels.

Ratchet and Clank definitely have my vote as it is my most wanted table. Though a LBP table would be great too. It would be cool if the table would start out looking cardboard box like and change through out play via pop up tool, just as in the LBP games creation modes.

Ditto. I am constantly bugging my Insomniac buddies to make it happen, haha

Just keep on reminding them that they were going to make their own pinball game at one point, might as well join forces and apply some of those original ideas to the R & C universe.

Really? I didn't know that! Now this should REALLY get in the works. LOL

Insomniac recently revealed a few of their cancelled projects. 1080Pinball was one of them.

Exactly. They love our games, we love theirs. It'd be awesome!

I got reminded of the pinball tables in Sonic Adventure and the many incarnations of the Casino Night zone over the many years. But I would really love to see a NiGHTS into Dreams table. I would sell my worldly possessions to see one as I'm a massive NiGHTS fan.

I even couldn't sleep because of the idea and kept thinking up what it would be like:

• Paraloop mini-orbit
• A long dash orbit with rings in leading to Blue Chip bumpers.
• There'd be rings on various ramps and the dash orbit to pass through, passing through them and hitting blue chip bumpers in quick succession builds up a chain combo.
• Definitely has to have a spiral ramp around a clock tower model.

The main objective would be to collect all 6 Ideya by performing missions.
Completing the mission means you collect the Ideya (shown in the middle of the board)

Some mission ideas:
Giratana (timed): Hit a random target that switches every 10 seconds, then collect 50+ blue chips before performing a paraloop.
Reala Multiball: 4-balls, Hit a random target that switches every 5 seconds with one of the balls, do this 10 times. Mission fails if 2 balls are lost

The final mission has to be Wizeman obviously. No idea how it would play out though.

One sub mission could be to rescue Nightopians, hit any of the lit ramps/orbit and then perform a paraloop. The more saved, the higher the bonus. Each ramp can only be used once.

Actually Pyrii...that's really not a bad idea at all. That idea sounds pretty grand. I like it!

Welp...now that Disney owns the Star Wars rights and Zen has already made some Marvel tables (which Disney also owns the rights to), why not do a 6 table pack for Episode I-VI?

Bring it!!!





Some further table ideas:

The Black Hole (thinking of Disney)
Labyrinth
The Dark Crystal
Die Hard (further sequel coming up next year)
Prometheus
From Dusk till Dawn
King Kong
The Thing From Another World
A music themed table using and incorporating original tracks from a small band who would be willing to license them.
A real time table that incorporates daylight and nighttime changes, possibly also random rain, fog, snow, etc effects.

Possibilities are endless really, so many cool options.Once again i don't mind playing the more kid friendly designed tables but i hope more edgy tables can be released in the future as well.

A general question: Is there any kind of rating restriction in Zen company policy, is nudity/violence, basically an R-rated table even an option?
Probably just me but i think for example an Evil Dead(also remake coming up next year) table with some splatter vfx or whatever comes to mind would be pretty cool.

The table's content has to be E-10 equivalent, but that doesn't mean that they can't make a tribute table on an R-rated movie or an M-rated game. They made a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 tribute table after all and that game is rated M. It just means that the table art and table concept/content have to be clean.

That's a bummer and limiting.Shame really, i'd be down for more edgy tables(not exclusively but as an alternative providing some variety), seems like a cool unexplored niche market to me.Perhaps some other company will tackle that someday but in a perfect world Zen should be the ones to do it.
