A single level Pulp Fiction could be one bad mother fucker!

I’m a huge early 80’s solid state fan, but not really down with paying 10k for them. If it’s fun and the price is right I’d be all over it though!

It is happening. Hope they got assets and the soundtrack. It will make or break the final product.

the answer for any game you havn't played or even seen, should always be wait and see. Never buy based on theme. If you are new to pinball. this is the best advice anyone can give you. If you have been around years or decades, you already know better.

Yeah just like all the rumors that Big Bang Bar was DEFINITELY gonna be the next remake and not a chance in hell that we’d get CCr, and White Water was 100% going to be after that.

Bullshit.

Look at everyone who said Venom was 100% the next game for over a year and then got dunked on with 007.

These rumors are nonsense and CGC wouldn’t go with such a restrictive adult license.

007 seemed to languish for quite a long time before seeing the light of day!

Got my 2 weeks out call from distributor on my CCRLE. It will complete my whole CGC line up. CGC builds great games at an affordable price. I'm 100% behind this company and happy to support there upcoming titles. Yes delays suck but good business practices is the key to customer appreciation & loyalty.

Plenty of people that have been around for years or decades buy on theme alone. Music pins, BM66, GZ BZ Bond are a few examples.

This is an interesting theme for a pin - maybe odd. I'm not sure how I feel about it as a pinball machine, LOL. Definitely love to see what CGC has in mind if this is truly the theme, I'm just not sure I see a game there. I must lack the imagination.

Kaneda has been talking about this rumor for well over a year now. Mark Ritchie game. Probably going to be released by Raw Thrills but maybe through some sort of partnership with CGC

Ben Heck is not designing Pulp Fiction, he has a different game coming out

After his hilariously spectacular fail with Venom why do you still give Special K any attention?
He’s wrong an overwhelming majority of the time and thankfully you can browse his older podcasts for first-hand proof.
He’s only “right” after someone else breaks the news and he parrots the rumor and his very easily-led fans believe him to be the “Pinball First™”

I saw that on the 007 thread so I dug back through his posts. His track record is impressive but he was wrong twice in the past few years. When he says something, definitely listen, but just be aware his predictions can take years to come true.

Heck no.

Anyway, do a pinside search for Pulp Fiction and you'll see discussions dating back 5 years of Mark Ritchie doing an "EM style" Pulp Fiction.

You can also see the rumors of Raw Thrills getting into pinball over the years, and there is speculation that this is their entry (some might remember when Stern built CGC's first run of Medieval Madness remakes)

Hes actually right a majority of the time (certainly not all the time though). Sometimes things evolve since they are so far out. Is stern cancelling cornerstone titles out of left field thus putting the kibash on venom (for now) make it a spectacular fail? People just have a grudge against the guy and are incapable of looking at things objectively. He called Bond forever ago too btw. Its just weird that he said this was coming forever ago but now that other people are starting to talk about it he shouldn't be given any attention? I get why people don't like the guy, and yeah, hes cringe sometimes, but so many of his predictions have come true over the years, that they are certainly worth giving attention to. To say hes wrong more than hes right is flat out wrong. Besides, if hes always wrong, then you should be telling everyone in this thread that this game isn't coming.

Repeating every rumor that comes his way isn't "predicting", its a way to squeeze cash out of the gullible who pony up for his one man "look at me" show.

If you think the problem a lot of people have with him is that "hes cringe sometimes", you either know nothing about his past and current toxic behavior, or are fine with it. Shilling for the guy is endorsing all the crap he has said to and done to other people in the community. I wish it surprised me that so many people are okay with what he says and does, but the misanthrope in me just nods and says "yep, that's about right".

I literally have no idea what this means, but, good one? Maybe you have shilled him in so many threads you are losing track of what you said where. Its nice he is a personal hero of yours, but it doesn't mean that others don't have a legitimate reason to dislike him and his act.
