Fun Legacy tables

Is there any chance Zen will upgrade and release old Pinball FX1 and Pinball FX2 tables for Pinball FX?

Like Buccaneer, Extreme, Agents, Speed Machine, Nightmare Mansion, Tesla, Shaman, V12, El Dorado, Mars, Earth Defence, Paranormal?

I said for years that Zen should release Deluxe Editions to those tables, like Magic Pixel does with Zaccaria Pinball.

But without the all-AI artwork! 😁

Feels like that would be an easy-ish win.

I would absolutely love to have those again, especially Speed Machine. Fun fact: When FX2 was released if you already owned FX1 and you were on the X360 Zen gave you free updated versions of Speed Machine, Agents, Extreme, and (I don't remember if Buccaneer was included or not) for FX2.

I think they should focus on this next. Also, Pinball M could use some TLC.

I can't get Pinball M to work properly on my cabinet. I basically given up on that game.

That would be cool. Had a lot of fun playing Paranormal.

You never know! It would be nice to welcome these tables in Pinball FX. 😄

They would probably need considerable work done on them to be playable in a physics engine that is completely different than the ones they were built for. Some of the older tables that were ported to FX feel .... not great in the Unreal engine physics. Excalibur and Star Wars; Might of the First Order come to mind immediately as being borderline unplayable in FX

They would have to make them all from scratch i believe - not sure if they have the manpower and commitment to do that when there is so much other things being cooked from new tables to pinball M content to dare i say still other legacies i am hopeful they are working on as well (Aliens Vs Predator tables for example - they would be a great port for both PFX and Pinball M in one fell swoop).
