Bond. James Bond. Stern 007 Hype Club!

Quoted from J85M:
Yeah old news, Kaneda just did a live stream and hinted he’s received info from someone over this side of the pond, at least that’s what I got reading between the lines which isn’t always easy with him.
But he went in to say, the art is going to be crap think led zep, dr no for the pro, you only live twice for premium, Thunderball for le and Goldfinger for SLE, but if the artwork sucks I won’t be too worried if the games a keeper I might commission some real bond artwork for my cabinet if I end up buying.
Two ramps on the right of the playfield, missile ball lock, bond on jet pack comes out the back panel, but no mention of the scuba diver we saw and the db5 with ejector vuk.

If you like yellow you're in luck

Well I would think the scuba diver would only be appropriate in the Thunderball edition if that's true. That would be a first for 4 models that are all different. Wow, we'll see!

GravitaR you need to chill out mate, whether your a fan of Kaneda or not, there’s no harm passing on the info he gets sometimes he’s right sometimes he’s not, all depends who leaks him the info but everyone wants to talk Bond regardless. Lighten up man, it’s a forum everyone’s here to chat and waiting like a bunch of kids on Xmas eve.

I think each pin will have features and modes for all of the movies featured from Connery just each will feature a unique art package.

Sounds great - I hope the Pro isn't too stripped. When people walk into an arcade and see a baron playfield it's never good.

Artwork on LZ wasn't terrible but people seem to want art that pops on every game now. I personally would rather see art more in sync with that period.

You'll still get the Aston with the VUK ejector seat on the pro.

I’m more concerned about what the back box and playfields will look like. Barely see the side art in a row of games. Sounds like this one won’t have a place at the end of the line.

Interesting take from the Kaneda info if true is initial rumors were 4 Connery movies starting with From Russia with Love to You only Live Twice. Now that Dr No art pkg may be on the pro I’m thinking we get all 6 of his eon movies included.

Is that confirmed? I would figure this is exactly the kind of mech that would be cut out on the pro. No VUK on Rush pro or Star Trek pro, for example.

He has definitely made a lot of games. That said, there are a lot of middle of the road games in that list. Corvette? NBA Fastbreak? Playboy? The Avengers?C'mon...

I'm not sure why everyone is so damned excited about this. I like the idea of the theme a lot, but going on history, it looks like there's about a 50/50 chance of the design being craptastic...

We'll have some idea in about 24 hours though, so far be it from me to burst anyone's bubble.

Quoted from Crumbalimb:
George probably does not get enough recognition or notice of what a great designer he is and the great games he has put out.
Corvette (1994)
Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
NBA Fastbreak (1997)
Monster Bash (1998)
Revenge From Mars (1999)
Playboy (2002)
The Lord of the Rings (2003)[3]
The Sopranos (2005)[4]
Batman (pinball) (2007)
Transformers (pinball) (2011)
The Avengers (2012)
Batman 66 (2016)
Spider-Man The Pin (2017) (consumer game)
Supreme (2017) (Private Label)
The Beatles (2018)
Deadpool (2018)
Star Wars Pin (2019) (consumer game)
He definitely loves pinball and glad he's still making games and not just running Stern on the business side.

it's the usual strip, plastics instead of toys etc. The main game features are intact.

I agree,Corvette is better than the middle road. Let's not forget he designed Tron! And not the pin but the original arcade! I think the last game he did was Deadpool? Better than anything Ritchie has put out in years.

Artwork is the dealbreaker for me. I want to be immursed in the theme of the game. If I look down and see a carnival character of Sean Connery like they did in Rush I won't even put any money in it. It's about honoring the franchise with the anniversary coming up, not making it about you or your art style.

George Gomez is one of the thought leaders in pinball...one of the lead architects of Pinball 2000 and the current leader of Stern engineering IIRC. Definitely has the chops to innovate...fingers crossed, since this is a big license and the expectations are very high.

So Prem/LE/SLE have 3D Aston's and the Pro will have a flat plastic? Perhaps the upper tiers also have a seat attached to the VUK mech as well?

No, the Aston is the same on the pro.

Definitely some stuff missing but that's not it.

I'm mega hyped for this game though. Gomez knows what he's doing and the playfield is certainly no standard fan layout. It's absolutely Gomez and not SR

So I don’t know how I slept on this but I’m literally going to be landing in the UK tomorrow 6am (UK time) for business and it sounds like this game will be unveiled somewhere in the UK. Sorry if I missed this but anyone know where and when? I might check it out as I should have some time in the morning to drop by.
