[QUOTE="CC13, post: 38832, member: 1151"] What DLC do you guys think FarSight will give us in the coming months? Here are my predictions from December until June (assuming we get TZ this month): December 2012: Tables Pack #8 (Attack From Mars & Space Shuttle): I think FarSight are going to go all in with the sci-fi theme here. I initially considered Pin*Bot to be AFM's packmate, but then I considered that that might make it feel a little too similar to Tables Pack #1, as AFM and MM have much in common in terms of their design. January 2013: Premium Table #2 (Star Trek: The Next Generation): Even though FarSight have only promised a Q1 2013 release, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they make a January release for this one. February 2013: Tables Pack #9 (Firepower & Genie): This is the first of two predicted "make-up" months (that is, FarSight are going to "make up" the lack of PHOF ports in the two Premium Table months with two months of two PHOF ports). For this first month, it was an obvious choice to pair Firepower & Genie, both to check tables off the PHOF Gottlieb and PHOF Williams lists and to contrast what the two firms were doing in the digital display era. March 2013: Tables Pack #10 (Pin*Bot & Victory): Here, we have our second "make-up month". This time, we get to look at what Gottlieb and Williams were releasing during the alphanumeric era. Also, we have a good contrast of styles (open playfield vs. a more claustrophobic-feeling multilevel playfield), which always makes for good fun. April 2013: Tables Pack #11 (Whirlwind & Whitewater): Think of this one as the "April Showers" pack. Both these tables are really fast, white-knuckle affairs, so assuming I'm correct with this prediction, we could be in for some good times in the spring. May 2013: Tables Pack #12 (Dr. Dude & Sorcerer): This one is mainly for the marked contrast of art styles. You really do get both ends of the art spectrum from this pack, with Sorcerer representing the more serious "heavy metal album cover" school of art design that started to lose popularity around the alphanumeric era the more gonzo art style that became the norm later in the alphanumeric era and into the DMD years. June 2013: Tables Pack #13 (Cactus Canyon & Jive Time): What better way to wrap up the Williams PHOF ports than to pair the oldest of the lot with one of the newest tables they've announced? Everything about these tables makes for a beautiful contrast, from the simplicity of Jive Time clashing with Cactus Canyon's far greater complexity to EM vs. DMD to where pinball was going when each table was released. Hopefully, Jive Time isn't quite as hair-pulling as it was in PHOF Williams... Tell me your own predictions below and also feel free to tell me how utterly wrong mine probably are (seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if I got all six table packs completely incorrect). [/QUOTE]
