I actually really like Black Hole just for that simplicity/addictive feel. The lower playfield is an incredibly cool toy as well- doesn't show up very often either.

Dracula is supposedly a difficult table in real life- what this means for the TPA version, who knows.

Given how they've been good with having "sequel" tables so far, season 4 had better have both Jackbot and The Getaway  (Jackbot is actually very strongly rumored, as in, someone says they saw a Jackbot table at Farsight.)

Cyclone and Earthshaker, I think? I'm always up for more System 11s in TPA, so that'd be nice.

HRC isn't like, terrible, it's just really generic, and I don't really get why they decided to put the effort into making that table (ok, it's because they wanted a Stern table, and non-licensed Stern tables aren't exactly a plurality)

TheMcD posted:Well, yeah, that's basically how that worked with those two tables. High Speed 2 is High Speed, but with updated hardware (and therefore a deeper ruleset) behind it. That's about it. It also has "La Grange" by ZZ Top as a theme, which is great, though it depends on them licencing it.

LCA in Pinball Arcade S3 is about as close as pinball can get to "So bad it's good".

One of the nice (and also mean) things about Dracula is that you can't shoot the same shots over and over again- enough castle/coffin shots in a row invariably sends the ball into the jets.

The Getaway is a non-licensed DMD table, it's gonna be in at some point. Only possible problem might be "La Grange" as the main table theme.

I've heard the TPA version of Taxi is way too easy, because the ramp shots are much harder on the real table version. On the TPA version, the ramp shots are easy enough that it simply isn't worth trying to get the jackpot- just go for million-point ramp bonuses forever.

I love the table/display freakout when you hit the million shot, by the way. System 11 is just great, and "Million" shots should be a big deal, not something you get for successfully putting a ball into play (hey, AFM!)

I've gotten the Taxi crossover bonus in the Express Lane bonus mode and I was dissapointed that it didn't give me 500 million billion points.

Taxi in TPA is probably the most blatant "shoot loops all day" table.

Xenon got confirmed as an upcoming PA table. Not sure if it's after Cyclone, or if it's like Diner where they announced it a while back from it actually getting released.

Most of the tables look good but there are a few bad ones- the playfield score display on Black Hole looks horrible with bright lights/dark room.

Niwrad posted:Has anyone ever played Barb Wire? Guy is selling it for real cheap and I'm kind of tempted because it's a cool 90's theme. Don't think I have the room for it but might throw it in my office. I've almost never heard about the game. Barb Wire was (I think) the last Gottlieb/Premiere table and everything I've heard about it is infamously awful.

Apparently the new table has a revamped physics system that might get rolled out across the game if the response is good. I was surprised when I actually did a live catch.
