![]() ![]() Though it should be noted that, like other tables Zen Studios have made for Pinball FX 2 and Zen Pinball 2 that were based on games, such as Telltale’s Walking Dead (my review of which you can read here) or Portal(review here), you don’t need to be a fan of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, Doom, or the Fallout series to appreciate the tables in Bethesda Pinball. These caps can then be used to buy Stimpacks, as well as such pinball-related consumables as a ball saver. In the Fallout table, for instance, you not only get to create a male or female character, and then watch as they waltz out onto the table, but you can also take optional quests that will earn you Nuka-Cola bottle caps for meeting certain conditions. Similarly, while the physics that dictate how the ball moves on The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim table are the same as they would be if there was a real Skyrim pinball machine, I doubt anyone could make one that has a fire breathing dragon flying over it, and if they did, it would be so expensive that a game would cost more than a quarter.Īs always with tables for Pinball FX 2 and Zen Pinball 2, the three included in the Bethesda Pinball collection are also full of fan service that goes beyond the expected appropriation of imagery, iconography, and sound effects. ![]() In the case of the three tables in Bethesda Pinball, this is best illustrated by how, on the Fallout table, the ball moves and bounces around like it would in real life, and sounds like a metal ball rolling on wood, but also has what looks like a fully animated and articulated action figure of a super mutant who hurls insults at you when you miss the ball, and then sets off a mini nuke when you miss the last one, ending the game. ![]() Basically, they’re pinball video games that pair realistic physics and sound effects with mechanics that are physically or financially impossible. So it’s interesting to see how the equally skilled folk at Zen Studios have not only translated these games into excellent pinball tables for Bethesda Pinball, a triple pack for Pinball FX 2 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC), Zen Pinball 2 (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Vita), and Zen Pinball ( iOS, Android, Amazon), but have done so in a way that makes them as fun for pinball fans who aren’t into Bethesda’s games as those who do.įor those who are new to Pinball FX 2 and Zen Pinball 2, here’s a quick primer. One of the common traits shared by the games published by Bethesda Softworks is how they always immerse you in rich, detailed worlds, whether it’s the medieval fantasy realm of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, the ’50s-flavored post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 4, or the Hell-adjacent space base of the new Doom. ![]() Paul Semel 0 Comments Bethesda Pinball, Bethesda Pinball Android, Bethesda Pinball Android review, Bethesda Pinball iOS, Bethesda Pinball iOS review, Bethesda Pinball PC, Bethesda Pinball PC review, Bethesda Pinball PlayStation, Bethesda Pinball PlayStation 4, Bethesda Pinball PlayStation 4 review, Bethesda Pinball PlayStation review, Bethesda Pinball PS4, Bethesda Pinball review, Bethesda Pinball Xbox, Bethesda Pinball Xbox 360, Bethesda Pinball Xbox 360 review, Bethesda Pinball Xbox One, Bethesda Pinball Xbox One review, Bethesda Pinball Xbox review, Doom pinball, Doom pinball review, Doom Pinball Xbox, Doom Pinball Xbox 360, Doom Pinball Xbox One, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout pinball, Fallout pinball PC, Fallout pinball PC review, Fallout pinball PlayStation, Fallout pinball PlayStation 4 review, Fallout pinball PlayStation review, Fallout pinball PS4, Fallout pinball PS4 review, Fallout pinball review, Fallout pinball Xbox 360 review, Fallout pinball Xbox One review, Fallout pinball Xbox review, games, gaming, Pinball FX, Pinball FX 2, Skyrim pinball, Skyrim pinball iOS, Skyrim pinball PC, Skyrim pinball review, Skyrim pinball Xbox, Skyrim pinball Xbox 360, Skyrim pinball Xbox One, The Elder Scrolls, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim pinball, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim pinball review, Video Games, Zen Pinball, Zen Pinball 2 ![]()
