The FPS genre has become so stale. Can't believe folks still play those. I am looking forward to Civil War though.

CNN headline: "Call of Duty gets heavy competition from pinball table platform add-on. Who will win this holiday season?"
I knew Zen was going big with the release of Zen Pinball 2. Now that we know the date that was randomly suggested to Zen by some users on this forum, it's become clear to me that Zen is aiming for direct competition with Activision's biggest franchise. The overlap and price of these two games can not be interpreted any other way. EA had some mild success with BF3, but I think Zen's strategy of going in this whole new pinbally downloadable add-on direction for the genre might work out even greater.Last edited by parathod; 10-15-2012, 05:50 AM.

Yes it is

Well, if you look at prior history, both the original Marvel Pinball 4-pack as well as Vengeance and Virtue were released mid-December. I think they realize that November isn't a good time to try and release something and have it be really visible - it'll get lost in the flood of "gotta have our game out for Black Friday to sell at $60 before it drops to $19.99 three months later" holiday releases.
Being a virtual release, it wouldn't really get any benefits from a pre-Thanksgiving release. Whereas if they release it a week or two before the holidays, it's still likely to have front-page visibility on the PS3 store so all those people who got PSN gift cards can direct their $2.99 in the proper direction.
Given prior history and marketing logic, I'm expecting a release around December 11th. But I have a one-in-two chance of being wrong 50% of the time, so who knows.

Civil War can't wait....I have a question on why Marvel tables are 2.49 and a popcap table is 2.99....Marvel is way more of a juggernaut business then Popcap is....but maybe that's why.
You guys make the best tables and can't wait for the new table. Such talented folk. And BB you are the best PR person in niceness and timeliness I have ever seen. Thanks."Zen Pinball Rules!"

Like I said before, there are many gamers out there that don't care for FPSs or the Call of Duty series. I'm one of those people.
Plus, I have a hard time believing that you can't shell out an extra $3 to buy the table after shelling out $60 to buy Black Ops 2. Sure you may not play Civil War right away, but that doesn't mean you are never going to buy and play it.Last edited by shogun00; 10-16-2012, 02:45 AM.

1.) A new patch/update notice. **download patch**
2.) A new table icon (Civil War) on the main menu.
It's not like Marvel Pinball, where the only way a casual fan knew about new tables was by looking at the add-ons section.Last edited by shogun00; 10-15-2012, 05:33 PM.

This will go against the grain of the die hards here but seriously how many more times can you milk Captain America and Iron Man on us.
Sure its a slick looking table but its becoming staid trudging over the same old characters on table after table.
