I would love to see God of War, but I don't think it would happen.

I would think Call of Duty and/or Grand Theft Auto would be considered before any others, just based on worldwide recognition.

This topic comes up all the time, and people say, "It wouldn't translate well to pinball," or "Young people don't care about pinball." I would argue that any theme translates well to pinball, if it's done right. Also, the demographics for those games are 10 to 50+ year olds. I'm almost 49 and love to play the campaigns (I don't do multiplayer online).

That was the "Pinball in Popular Culture" quote I submitted to the Pinheadz podcast from the movie Copland.

I play both, too.

Games I play:

God of War
Assassins Creed series
Arkham series
Bioshock series
Castlevania series
Uncharted series

Based on that assumption, they'll probably decide to not do another Star Wars.

Who cares if it won't make the kids blink? The demographics expand to an age much higher than "kids." When I see a KISS pinball, I don't be like "oh...ok...back to my stereo!"

I agree. Forget the kid-based video games. Many of the ones I mentioned are not kid-based.

It's not costing CoD money. I don't understand this line of thinking. It's like saying the same thing for any other popular title:

"Pinball is such a small, niche market though. If I had a hit tv show like TWD, I wouldn't even consider it a possibility."

The appeal with any theme is that it's recognizable and cool. Pinball is appealing for location or home because it's pinball, and those of us in the hobby think it's fun. Put a theme on pinball that a lot of us have a connection with, and it becomes more fun. It doesn't have to be like the original online experience. Playing TWD is not like watching the show. I carried a Tarzan lunch pail to school when I was 8-years old. The experience of bringing my lunch to school in that Tarzan lunch pail was nothing like watching the Tarzan TV show, but I thought it was cool.
