Quoted from flynnibus:

The big question is what will Lyman do with it. Because it's a pretty avg WPC game on it's own. The CGC additions are welcome and the new dots look great.. but at it's core it was still the 'just another shoot each shot 3 times' late WPC game. The quickdraw/shootout standups are its only standout.

You make a good argument that this "pretty avg game on its own" has a good chance of being the best of the remakes.

MM, AFM. and MB are all at their core just the same old 'shoot each shot 3 times' rulesets. Doesn't seem to hurt their popularity.

Lyman's involvement is a literal game changer, signifying that this remake has much more upside to provide a new game experience than any previous remake.

I had played MM to death before the remake announcement and had no interest in it.

I felt AFMr offered cooler bling upgrades from the original compared to MM. I find it's a better experience playing it than the original.

MB was kinda boring before, and I didn't see much difference with the remake when I played it.

CCr's standing in pinball is yet unknown, but it's definitely got the most potential to be a better, newer, modernized improved version than any of its remake predecessors.

The new software is the key variable.

Which is why I said
"The big question is what will Lyman do with it. Because it's a pretty avg WPC game on it's own. The CGC additions are welcome and the new dots look great.. but at it's core it was still the 'just another shoot each shot 3 times' late WPC game"

Again, at its core, MM, AFM and MB are exactly the same, still the 'just another shoot each shot 3 times' late WPC game'.

But CCr is preparing to go beyond that core. This remake will be better than at its original inception.

We still need to see how the new code pans out, but all of your complaints about CC are completely irrelevant and some are even nonsensical (ie, the game's reputation.)

Quoted from flynnibus:

Or we could look at the last 25 years. Is it put on a pedestal compared to its peers? Nope.
Put it in collections surrounded by other great games and this one gets passed over once the novelty is gone. Observe it over and over at Papa, or in private collections.
I'm just surprised more of you old timers haven't spent more time with the game. It's not like it's been hidden away - it's common in most prominent collections and good virtual versions of it have been around for ages.

You keep complaining about CC.

This thread is discussing the remake which is not a direct replica.

Catch up already.

Quoted from Tallon:

because YOU FEEL like they owe you something more then the product when it’s ready.

He never said any such thing. You just made it up.

Maybe you really don't understand his point.

Quoted from jfh:

Perhaps. But I’m pretty sure PPS has the largest allocation of LEs if not overall games (by contract) so they have a built in advantage over anyone else for CGC remakes.

PPS may have also received a discounted rate from CGC since they had CGC by the cojones with the licensing fees. It's PPS' way, or the highway.

I don't think I would ever pick PPS as a distributor either. They seem kind of sucky.

Ever try to buy a licensed part from them? If you need it, it's not in stock.

Quoted from MrMikeman:

Royals were a 1 time deal as announced by CGC at the time. You can get the special edition though. Unless you are looking at the used market.

... but then...

Quoted from jfh:

What I took away on reruns was a subtle “never say never but we’re focused on improving not revisiting” (not a direct quote).

So doesn't it seem quite possible that they could make an improved Royal Edition and just call it something else?

Kinda like what the Royal Edition did to the original MMr LE models.
