Iron & Steel Table Pack

[JaySTeeY]

Can't wait to play them but have a complaint to make about the release date guys... February 25th??? My wife's 40th birthday???? That's gonna be tricky trying to explain to her on her special day when I fire up the Playsation and say I need to play these!

Come on man, the perfect solution is right there! On her Bday, fire up the PS, and say "Ta-dah!! Happy Bday honey, here are your new Zen Pinball tables! Wanna play some split-screen?" She will melt in your arms...

I tried getting my wife into Pinball, but no luck with that. Kinda bummed, but maybe for the best, so I don't have to share game time...

We have a few events already planned for that weekend, so I will have to wait a bit before digging into the new tables. Dang it, really looking forward to them.

I think you're in the same boat as a lot of others when it comes to The Walking Dead table - if you didn't play (or enjoy) the first season of the Telltale game, you might not care about this table. I actually cried at the end of the first season and I never cry in movies and stuff like that, so to say it's a 'heavy' game is understated... haha! I do recommend it though, just as something different with a crazy story. We tried to incorporate a lot of the same choices into the table that you make in the actual game, so that would be lost on you if you hadn't played it.

About Super Sweet - I don't think anything we've done so far has made me laugh as hard as the poop multiballs, it always makes me laugh to hear that others got a kick out of it! I hope you keep playing Butters (especially since you are already a fan of him), that table has some really great references! Loo loo loo!

I see. I do have The Walking Dead game so I might give it a try some time. Heard a lot of good things about it but as I said I'm not a huge fan of The Walking Dead and I also suck at Adventure games .

The poop balls are some of the best things in any game ever . When I first saw those I just sat there with a "WHAAAAT" face for a minute. Definitely gonna keep exploring the South Park tables

Here are the ones I played during the last few days.

Star Wars: Episode IV
Haven't played too much of this yet. What I've seen so far looks good though. The selection of scenes for the story mode is awesome as always although I don't like the way scenes are being activated.

Han Solo
Really like the attention to detail on this one. I especially enjoyed shooting the crap out of Greedo . Some good variety on the modes as well. The only bad thing I have to say about this is the music. It's good at first but it gets really annoying after a while. All in all my favorite of the pack.

Droids
This one is quite good as well but that's mostly because I like R2-D2 and the Javas. The Hurry-Ups can be quite frustrating if activated during missions. Also C-3PO nagging about everything makes me want to kill him.

Masters of the Force
The concept is really nice and the fights are fun. I gotta pay my respects to the left mini loop. That frickin shot is the worst thing in history. Also lighting up the Force letters is terrible. Sometimes it doesn't register at all (like 50% of the time) and it's dumb. Also this is one of those tables where you lose your ball constantly because of stupid crap. Reminds me of the Thor table in a lot of ways. Not only the frustrating ball drains but the layout as well. Was wondering if this was designed by the same guy

Guardians of the Galaxy
Good fun like the movie. Has to be one of my favorite table designs. Yet again like the Han Solo table the music gets somewhat annoying after a while.

The Walking Dead
To be honest I'm not too big of a Walking Dead fan. I don't like the show (I know this table is based of the game), I haven't played the game yet because I'm not super interested in it and this table kinda falls under the "I'd rather play a different table" category. It's alright but not as good as most of the other tables you guys are putting out .

South Park Super Sweet Pinball
This one I like a lot. I'm a huge fan of South Park and you really put a ton of stuff on this table that I love about the show. The Mr. Hankey multiball with those poop balls is great. Would have been cool to have the original german voice actors (I know you guys don't do that) but the original voices do the job as well. Haven't played too many of the modes yet but I expect some more good stuff from this table

Butters' Very Own Pinball Game
I like Butters. He might actually be my favorite side character of the show and Imaginationland is one of my all time favorite episodes. Again I haven't played too much of it yet but I will definitely give it some more tries


Also something I've noticed on quite a few of the newer tables are sloppy german translations on the DOT Matrix. Thought I'd mention that even though it's not a big deal really

[Rafie]

I have to agree that I love seeing a woman being in the forefront this time around. I also hope for a Marvel female fatale table. That would be bananas.

Anyway, I enjoy the artstyle that Zen has. It's their ORIGINAL stamp there. Looking forward to these tables and the rest year. *Ahhh CHOOO Hanna Barbera* (sniff, sniff)

Oh and I do agree about the trophies. They give extra incentive to complete the tables and such. Still working on Deadpool's combo shots. That's a pain in the neck to get. Will be worth it when I do get it though.

[Alipan]

It's not exactly "small print" since she is a 3D character and a very large part of the table art...

Please remember that the game is rated E10 and is meant to be playable by just about anyone.

Curse those under 10's. Shattering the pinball dreams of middle aged men...

I will try and make the best of it despite it being a children's western theme.

[ShoryukenToTheChin]

I also long for a ZP3 taking advantage of the new power the PS4 can allow. I'm sure Zen will come up with something about the Trophies, perhaps some sort of in game accomplishment system? like how in fighting games you can showcase beating said Boss on Hard Mode.

[BarbieBobomb]

Just at the right time. Took a 1+ year hiatus from all the Pinball madness I had going on. Nice to see you guys are still putting out excellent tables. Already downloaded the last Star Wars pack, the South Park pack, Walking Dead and Guardians of the Galaxy. Gonna get the rest once the new pack is out (or maybe earlier ).
A little sad to hear the new tables will only come with one bronze trophy each as trophies were the reason why I started playing this game originally and they really pushed me to the limits (they still do actually).

[BarbieBobomb]

Not a deal breaker but I must say my heart sank a bit when I read the table spiel and saw the cartoony art style reminiscent of Epic Quest.

Was hoping they would play it a bit more straight with something more mature and reminiscent of the classic spaghetti westerns.

[surf1der]

Is that a deal breaker for you Alipan? There were a few famous Wild West sharpshooters that were women. Annie Oakley comes to mind. I'm not sure why it is big deal. Most of the tables feature dudes anyway, particularly the Marvel stuff. I'm just glad we are getting more original tables and I for one don't mind a break from the sausage fest of male leads.

[Beliskner]

i think its time to release zp3 because tropihies are really a source of motivation and my request is that zp3 has a platinum

x2
I'd pay every price for a ZP3 with a platinum trophy as long as it's as challenging as all the other games

[Alipan]

Western themed table YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSS!

Have you read the small print?

You star as a cowgirl named Cindy – its hardly Clint Eastwood…..
