Overview
The "Jaws" table for Future Pinball, specifically the highly regarded "Jaws: Bigger Boat Edition" created by TerryRed, is an immersive virtual pinball experience. It is a comprehensive overhaul of earlier Jaws tables, designed for the Future Pinball engine using BAM (Better Arcade Mode) and FizX physics, making it one of the most advanced, visually stunning, and realistic games available for the platform.
Based on the 1975 blockbuster, the table features high-resolution artwork, a "bloody" water aesthetic, and intense lighting effects designed to create a "bigger and bloodier" experience. This table is known for having far superior art, lighting, and animations compared to the earlier Future Pinball versions by Rom and SLAMT1LT, or the "Jaws" table released by Zen Studios for Pinball FX3 as part of the Universal Classics pack.
"Jaws: Bigger Boat Edition" is updated with FizX physics, resulting in more realistic flipper, ball, and rubber behavior compared to original Future Pinball physics.
Instead of a static toy, JAWS actively pops up from the playfield to act as a bash toy, feeding the ball into a "bloody ramp". Players can engage in various modes based on the movie, such as trying to kill the shark or protecting citizens. Features include Cage Multiball, Bait Multiball, and other high-score modes.
"Jaws: Bigger Boat Edition" is regarded by the community as a masterpiece, frequently updated to stay current with the latest virtual pinball technology.
