New Zen Studios Interview Featuring Barbie! Licenses for Real Tables?

[snakeman07]

Sorry, kind of stole this from a thread over at PSNation.org, but figured I'd share it over here (hope it's ok). The interview with Barbie starts around the 23 minute mark, good stuff starts around 42/43 minute mark:

Pretty interesting stuff. Huge multiplayer overhaul in future iterations of their pinball games, some great stuff coming in 2013, and it sounds like they might snag some older licenses or something for recreating them, not necessarily replicating them, or something of the sort. See for yourselves.

Yeah saw that and was wondering whether to put it on hear. Though that Barbie would eventually put it out there.

Real interesting stuff like Snake said. Sound like nothing will be announced till late January. They sound like they want to tell ud but can't just yet.

I saw the same thing. LOL I didn't mention it because I thought she would eventually put it here for everyone to see. I gotta say that this is going to be...different, but in a good way for Zen. If TPA thought they had competition before...its about to get real up in here. It's friendly competition though as I'm sure they enjoy each other's work.

I don't think I've ever touched multiplayer, but I would if high scores were saved through it. Cool podcast though. Can't wait to hear more exciting news.

Can someone list some of the highlights from the podcast? I'm having some troubling playing it.

Yeh wouldn't mind a transcript of the interview myself.

You can right click it to save it if you want, then play it through your favorite media player Honestly, even though the interview with Barbie lasted about 30 minutes, not a ton was talked about. Pretty much what I said in my first post was about it. One of the guys said that he played a table that's coming sometime, and that it was awesome, like pinball reinvented again. He also said if you like fantasy pinball, simulation, etc...then you have things to be excited about in 2013, or something along those lines. Also, sounds like Kickbeat and Castlestorm may have cross-buy for them.

I tried three time and it crashed on me three times.

I don't care much for podcasts.

All i need to know is when is the next release coming and what is/are the table(s).Zen must have a pretty clear idea about that right now.C'mon cough it up!

They probably do, but the NDAs (non disclosure agreements) are probably in the way.
