I keep coming back to PvZ for missions, but I can see a PvZ/Peggle/Zuma/Bejeweled combo. I can't see any of the others standing on their own.

You'd think, right? But the Zen representative on the Zen forum and on the PS Blog keeps asking "Which game do you guys think it is?", so that would go against an amalgam table presumably.

Or he's just being a dick

Still, I think PvZ is their main franchise.

Looks like the 3rd pack for pinball arcade will be back up on the 28th according to Farsight, although I assume it'll be the 29th since that's a Wednesday. They also put up their Kickstarter for Star Trek: TNG, here. I haven't pledged yet, but I'll probably throw $20 on it.

I threw $100 on TTZ+TNG until it was clear it wouldn't make the stretch. Then I backed it down to $25. I don't think I can bring myself to put any down on this. My value has been halved.

They really should have waited until Twilight Zone was out before doing another.

Yeah, that's a little tacky.

Hey, as long as it gets funded, and I don't have to put any money into said funding (and it's already over half-way there), I'm fine with it. I'll happily pay $2.50 or even $5 for the table, but more than that with nothing more to show for it does nothing for me.So let the suckers on Kickstarter (no offense, pinata) get the "satisfaction of knowing you helped make the preservation of this table possible". I'll just grab the DLC table when it's finally out.

I donated $20 as well.

Suckers! (And I mean offense)

I fired up the demo again hoping the title update had the physics fix in it. Either it didn't, or it's still poop.

Eh, it feels a lot better to me. Some tables are still kind of "floaty" but I think that might just be the "angle" the table is at, less of an angle, the more floaty the physics would be.

Might feel a bit better, but it's not accurate enough IMO. The biggest giveaway to me is when hitting the ball with a poorly timed flipper hit, yet it manages to flip up with near full power every time.

Perhaps FarSight can start a new Kickstarter next month to raise the funds needed to patch their game's wonky physics model

Why should they? People keep giving them cash as it is now, I'm sure the $30 I'd spend pales in comparison to the cash flow they are getting from kickstarter.

Press Announcement:


Zen Studios at PAX Prime 2012
Posted on August 27, 2012 by BarbieBobomb

Zen Studios has created tables based on superheroes, alien invasions, greedy knights, fast cars and even mad scientists, and as you all know, our latest project is in collaboration with the super talented folks at PopCap Games! What is this mystery table??? We will be revealing all during PAX Prime later this week!



Zen Studios will be participating in a discussion panel with PopCap Games! “Love at first bumper: The behind the scenes story of how pinball united Zen Studios and PopCap Games” is scheduled for Friday, August 31st at 8pm in the Unicorn Theatre of the Washington State Convention Center. This panel includes our own Creative Director, Neil Sorens, as well as PopCap’s Producer, Ty Roberts and PopCap’s Director of Social Media, Jeff Green.



If you are going to PAX, stop by and see us in the PopCap booth. You can get your hands on the new table and meet the Zen crew. It will be a lot of fun! See you at PAX!

They sure seem to be going to a lot of trouble to build hype and speculation when we all know it's going to be Plants Vs Zombies.

They sure are hyping the shit out of this Popcap table. Geez.

Preview for Table Pack 5:


I think I played the Harley table a few times, don't remember it being amazing, but it's cool to see more licensed tables.

Agreed. I'm starting to think it's gotta be more than just PvZ. Maybe not a pack, but maybe it's based more off the sequel like Ms. 'Splosion Man was.

Very possible - but the table before the game? I doubt it.

Well what if it tells the story that bridges the PopCap games?

The Gorgar and Monster Bash tables in Pinball Arcade are now available, and the achievements now work.

Hurray!

However I think the leaderboards are offline until Friday. Microsoft does not give a shit about this game in any way.
