There's a reason other companies have video of someone standing at the machine playing it in their reveal trailers. The shots and the game are what most people are interested in.
The story of the game should come along with that game play footage, not be out in front if it.
Toronto, ON
Quoted from wcbrandes:Everyone does realize that AP and it's team thinks this is the best detailed release & video to sell their machine right?
Well to be fair, until recently, all of the manufacturers reveals really left something to be desired. I think the FF and PF trailers were the only ones that actually got me pumped in years.
Quoted from Beechwood:She was in playboy.
Pinsiders.. off to unfiltered Google!!!
I was pretty sure the video was going to turn softcore any moment. And for that moment I was like... yeah! good for you AP! Taking a risk. Don't know if porn pinball will pay off but sure this is a first.
However, I'm now suspecting this isn't going to be a porno pin

That's downright hilarious.. not that there is anything wrong with that
Quoted from solid_snake:I think she's still a hottie.
She's older than I am and looks 100x better. Good for her!
Quoted from solid_snake:I think she's still a hottie.
And she looks good for 53

That last couple scenes definitely did look like the in between scenes lol.

Could have tapped into the creepy pinside “make pinball great again back to when I got tits on every backglass!!” dude market. Still could!

Who knows?? Maybe this is the INDUSTRY FIRST that's plastered all over their marketing!
How does the casting process go for this? I need some actors who are really bad so please come inside and audition.
Some suggested the latest actors are brilliant actors recreating bad actors. How does casting process go for this? I need some actors so good, they’ll look hapless and inane and convince viewers they are looking at bad actors.
Wireform ramps are cool and all, although Nordman is really known for how crazy he makes his plastic ramps...
Quoted from dpadam450:Hype!

Thought that was an odd thing to call out as a feature….might as well just say featuring pinball.
Quoted from trueno92:Stern's art and animation department just got a promotion after watching this.
I mean, they probably should. Foo Fighters is basically an unlicensed theme from the story and art standpoint, and it all looks killer.

nothing intentional just bad... like really bad. so bad it's bad.
"might as well just say featuring pinball."
Yea, although I say the same about JJP. They put the LED light count on every game flyer. Need to fill as many bullet points to make the prices look good.
Quoted from VisitorQ:Kerri is best know for Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat I believe.
Yup. She wasn't the original Sonya, though. She first appeared in MK3.
The acting is bad. Could still be a fun game and maybe it ties in a lot better. The video did a terrible job of showing us that though. Seems like as much time was spent on making a tank out of the cabinet as anything else. I need great pinball machines, not strange gimmicks. Time will tell on this one but I just can't see a lot of people rushing to buy it other than the people that buy everything anyway. FF and PF blow this out of the water.
Quoted from Zablon:Didn't someone say earlier that it was AP employees who were doing the acting (other than her?)
The scruffy guy who calls himself Houdini is the voice of the prison guard in Houdini I'm sure of it.

It kind of like the acting in Evil Dead. I think these individuals can act but they ham it up more so its more B-movie. I would love to at least play it then make a decision. It could be an excellent shooter who knows
Quoted from Monte:WTF!? I thought Fix was going to fix AP?
Hopefully someone plays this soon and highlights Norman's design.
Quoted from apessino:Steve Bowden... 7th best player in the world right now. hopefully he had fun, at least. [quoted image]
Why do all the logos say Galactic Star Force instead of Galactic Tank Force? Did they change the game name after they made costumes?
Quoted from Scoot:The scruffy guy who calls himself Houdini is the voice of the prison guard in Houdini I'm sure of it.
nope, Barry was not around when Houdini was developed.
Even Steven Bowden couldn't keep a straight face in the promo. It sounded like he was about to laugh.
The video didn't really show much gameplay, so I'd like to see that. I look forward to playing it this weekend.
I'm still laughing though. That was a lot to take in.

Not really, someone at AP paid for teasers / videos to be made and they accepted the resulting vids we have seen. The question of whom at AP had to buy off on the release is uncertain, so I don’t think one can conclude everybody was onboard with the final decisions made.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Why do all the logos say Galactic Star Force instead of Galactic Tank Force? Did they change the game name after they made costumes?
The fighter pilots in space craft are part of the Star Force, the player is in a tank and part of the Tank Force with Captain Kyan.
Quoted from musketd:So who has one of these that will actually put video out there of the game? Also what the hell does the planet and the tank do mech wise?
Arcade Hollywood says they have been filming gameplay for three weeks. Expecting those to be posted soon.
where’s the ice cream dispenser? Someone check out the backbox on LE to see if they can locate 3 video cameras, disguised as bolt threading.
Quoted from Betelgeuse:Yup. She wasn't the original Sonya, though. She first appeared in MK3.
Liz Maleki is the OG Sonya! I played MK with her once & knocked her into the pit. She could kick my ass IRL, tho.
Quoted from MrSanRamon:Deposit for Deluxe has been placed...
Robert
Yep. Full LE tank mode for me!
