I already have all the tables from Zen anyway. Now that these new tables are Marvel themed just screams “BOUGHT” already. I don’t know why some of you are complaining…..you’re going to buy it anyway regardless. IT’S MARVEL BABY!!!!!

Has there been any luck on improovement of load times when switching between tables, or something clever that makes it feel faster? It may sound ridiculous to some, but I pass over playing sometimes because it takes so long to get started that life’s other priorities get the upper hand and i do some real work.

Why make a new game?.. very very disappointed that these could not have been DLC for Zen pinball…. sorry, but i cannot justify purchasing another pinball game when Zen is perfectly fine… Whos idiotic idea was this not to make this DLC?…it just does not make any sense??????????????????????????????????????????

If this can’t be DLC for Zen Pinball, how about making the original ZP tables plus downloadable content already purchased playable through the new game…

That seems reasonable doesn’t it…or maybe a discount if you already own ZP…

Chris, 2 things…

1. How do u resist the temptation to backhand some of these ungrateful users? Like the smug son of a jackal who thought he knew your prices then rubbed it in your face. Game devs shouldn’t take that kinda harshness just to appear “professional”. U could always get back at him covertly, like the guy from Atlus did in his first reply in the blog post above this one.

2. If this is by Zen Studios, why not just make all these tables DLC for Zen Pinball instead of making a whole new game? Wouldn’t that have been easier? U coulda made it so ppl could buy each table separately, or in a discounted bundle pack.

You people are complaining about a possible (possible!!) $2.50 for a table?

ARE YOU SERIOUS? What planet do you live on, and how’s the weather there?

Do you know how much it costs to play a single game of pinball in real life? Just one game?

Or the fact that a Zen pinball table costs less than a CUP OF COFFEE?

Seriously, some people have been spoilt by the rush-to-the-bottom market mentality of the AppStore and the like. It takes months, and years of engineering and artistic expertise to make these games. And you want them for less money that you’d lose behind the sofa cushions? Really?

$10 a table would still be a huge bargain, but we won’t be paying that.

Anyway, I’ve got Pinball FX 2, so I’ll definitely be getting these tables for that version. (I am not at all sure why there isn’t an equivalent for the PS3, considering Zen Pinball was the supreme console pinball until recently. PSN issues maybe? Who knows. But it is strange, considering there’s already a pinball “platform” on the PSN, to use Zen’s terminology.

Thanks for the good works, Zen. This is an easy launch-day pickup for me.

Zen Pinball is without a doubt one of the funnest games I’ve ever played- Hands down. I’ll be getting this without a second thought. I’d say that The Hulk or Ghost Rider would make for a pretty good table.

By the way, did Zen say why they didn’t want to just make it an expansion to Zen Pinball?
