@tree_turty_tree Stay tuned....

Sounds like a big hint to me. If that's true, then there's only one game for season 4 that's still unknown, since we have Getaway and Xenon coming.

Perhaps they'll surprise us at the end with Fireball?

It will come at some point. Farsight are running out of DMDs, so we've got to the point that anything unlicensed is guaranteed to appear soon.

Maybe we'll even see Hurricane in S5.... they've started on the trilogy now, so why stop at just Cyclone?

Love to see Hurricane! They can skip comet IMO.

Hurricane is definitely worth including, I reckon it will appear.

Uh, it's kind of too late for them to skip Cyclone. It's the next table release, as confirmed by Steam achievements. Scroll to the bottom.

Maybe they meant comet. I could see that being skipped. I think hurricane and safecracker are about locks for season 5. Maybe pinball circus comes since it does have a dmd and it has been hinted at. Any dmd's they can get without a license are pretty solid bets for sure.

 

[Reagan Dow]

I did mean Comet. My Bad

 

[Kratos3]

I would also like to see Comet.

Being a Floridian, I will love "Hurricane"

Just for fun,I looked at Pinside's latest Top 300 list. Not counting any Alvin G or Capcom tables,quick and dirty - here is what's left of any non-licensed DMD tables:

Road Show
Safecracker
Jack Bot
Pinball Circus
Hurricane
Sharkey's Shootout
Checkpoint
Wipe Out
The Getaway:High Speed 2

That's not a lot of tables.

That'd be a good season. Just add Paragon.

I'd buy that season in a heartbeat. Of course I'm guaranteed to buy every season they come out with (the more pins the better). Still, I'd love to see the *Bot series completed at some point.

I agree,mostly. Exchange Sharkey's for EBD & add in Banzai Run though,for me

This is really random, but do you guys know why Big Buck Hunter Pro is rarely talked about in here? Unlicensed dmd, and it's not TOO bad. There's one near me and it's kinda cool with the moving buck. But does it have something to do with S.A.M., or is it just that everyone thinks it sucks? If anything it would at least be a different theme that might attract new customers.

Edit: looks like I answered my own question, haha. Looks like the MPU would be too much (at this point). Still curious if anyone even wants it though

I'm always interested in new pins on the digital market, but ultimately I think this question (self-answered or not) isn't really relevant to the topic. It'd definitely be worth asking in its own thread though, as the questions you pose are ones I'd love answers to. I'm no real-life hunter, but I love hunting sims and pins related to it. More pins the better!

 

[Extork]

Yeah. Same here. didnt think about the fact that it deserves its own thread. Maybe I'll get around to it. Right, we kinda got off track with the unlicensed dmds running out

 

[Bowflex]

I thought that had the Cabala name licensed and also maybe it is based off an arcade game? That would also be a license.

 

[Kratos3]

Look at that. 2 more great tables.

I, personally, don't think we're in danger of running out of good tables for another 3 years.

There is indeed an arcade game with the same name. Looks very much like a generic first-person lightgun game. Nearest one I know of is perfectly located in an arcade right next to the exit of the local Bass Pro shop. Not that I've ever seen anyone playing it.
