Rick did not announce a list of games they will be making, he announced a list of POTENTIAL remakes.

The difference between you and me is that I have learned not to trust everything Rick says. Maybe in time you will realize why.

What complicates things is when people blindly think things will happen when someone says they might happen.

All I'm doing is pointing out the fact that your statement "Rick announced the list of games that CGC will be making" is completely wrong. This isn't serious to me at all, but I await your next excuse to further this discussion.

Wording doesn't matter to you, got it. You may carry on assuming all of the games Rick mentioned will get remade as well as misinforming everybody per your assumptions.

Well the cat's outta the bag now so I hope the official announcement comes soon

Sorry but no

I heard that it's T2r

BBBrr ain't gonna happen

Alright! Less than a month to go until June 8th

This is what happens every time when the manufacturer is silent, nothing abnormal here. It's up to CGC if they want to speak up or stay silent, and people on Pinside like to discuss, speculate, rumor, etc. if there are no hard facts to discuss.

These delays may be due to CGC licensing JJPs 3 spinning disc mech and their trials and tribulations with it. They could also be due to issues with playfield silkscreen colors. Or they have the same cabinet source as Stern and they are splitting like crazy. Or most likely, none of the above.

Something fishy is going on

I've already lost interest, too many other options that I can order today.

That was always just speculation. Nobody has confirmed the real reason for any of this.

Nothing is perpetual, even if perpetual is in the name

I sure hope not

Customer: complains about valid quality issue

PPS: Put your big boy pants on

It's Barb Wire. Always has been and always will be.

Almost a week in and no announcement yet. I hope Monster Bash is ready to ship as soon as announced! I'm also interested to see what updates or extras they've added to it.

A high-res dot update like MMR and an amazing topper would be cool. Think of the actual MB band on top of the backbox with multiple coils for various monsters' actions, I can dream

My personal opinion is that licensing issues would be the cause of this long of a silence.

Yes, and WMS (Scientific) through PPS handle the license of "Monster Bash" Pinball.

If the Circus Maximus guys can implement switchable code from original to "enhanced" (Kingpin) then why couldn't CGC do the same?

I have an unconfirmed rumor by legitimate sources that we'll hear something by the end of this week.

I don't have any money for a remake but I'm still excited to see when this gets officially announced! And I don't think the word "license" has been said enough in this thread. So license.

You are their favorite customer

It is officially Monster Bash, confirmed by CGC. Or do you mean you're waiting for the official official announcement where they include prices, pictures, and all additional features?

No

What if Lyman did some moonlighting to add new code... "Sheats's Treats"

I'm sure they've been in contact with the licensor throughout this process, they aren't just going to work for months and hundreds (1000s?) of man-hours on the risk of the licensor saying scrap and start over at the very end of the process.

Any changes, regardless of how minor they are perceived, need final licensor approval. You add an extra eyelash on a piece of plastic and it must be approved. I'm hoping that the final approval does not take long to sign off and start production.

I agree with many that this has taken longer than expected, but I think we'll see a very nice game in the end.

Yep. There's lots of money burning in pockets right now, CGC better strike quick to get a decent chunk of it!

Rumored release date is now 9/15/18

All I can tell you is that it will cost more than I have in disposable income at the moment, and that makes me sad.

You just broke the NDA. Now I know that the new game is fun.... dammit man

They are just being polite, who wouldn't love a chance to play test a new (ish) game and have some general positive comments?

What else do you expect in this thread before official announcements? Just a bunch of people talking about what it may or may not be...

Frankenstein skip ramp?

Not possible as UL certification listings are public info. They need to announce the game before UL certification to prevent that.

Please don't

Pretty sure statements like this are against your NDA terms. It doesn't matter that someone else posted something first, that doesn't mean "cat's out of the bag I can say anything now"

For all we know this could be a mockup from someone's basement (which I doubt, but it's possible) and you are confirming the fact that this is indeed the CGC final offering of what you will get.

Just fyi that it is not limited to moderators to mark posts as "key posts" so it is definitely possible that someone other than a moderator marked it as a key post, and then later a moderator or other pinside staff member took action on that account.

I blame Rick, he has the track record to prove it.

The cat's been out for quite a while now.

It'll be about 2 more weeks

The new dots look great. I think this example in particular really illustrates how much of an improvement they are.

"Sales guys hate him! Use this one weird trick to work around the #1 BS sales tactic"

The letters are there, just kind of dark. Here is a version I butchered up to make it more apparent

Standard sales tactic, truth is not necessary to use it.

delt31 I agree with you but don't expect sales tactics to ever change :/ Creating a sense of scarcity is one of the most used/abused tactics.
