What's the hold up with ST? If it's Mustang before ST I just don't get it....Hope that's a dam Klingon with a Gatling gun

#1352 7 years ago
Quoted from epthegeek:

Seriously, look at all the pink!

So then light blue and red with pink highlights.

#1353 7 years ago

Dammit! It is TF. Blech. BTW, the order of games isn't determined by Randy, so much as the collections of the people doing the colorizations. Plus, we all want TWD and Star Trek. That's no secret. But if updates are likely, as with ST (I think it's getting one more), it's going to have to wait.

Star Trek has some complicated animations that would be very difficult to colorize - for example, a spinner rip causes scores to display in random clusters on the DMD - so it's taking a while for them to figure out.

Also, code updates shouldn't be a factor - Metallica was colorized before its most recent programming update and ColorDMD simply updated their code to match. Most code updates don't add new animations anyway, just logic, scoring changes and sometimes sounds.

Looking like TF. Newest hint ispasted_image (resized).pngpasted_image (resized).png

The playfield on Corvette has a honeycomb main section.

That is the Honey Nut Cheerios bee, so not TF. Thank goodness.

#1358 7 years ago
Quoted from GravitaR:

I'm confused by the logic here. Is there a Honey Nut Cheerios game? I'm not sure how this disqualifies it from being TF.

Could still be a hint for Bumblebee in TF though, right?

confirmed.

Safecracker!

#1361 7 years ago

Wait - Austin Powers always says - Oh Bee Have!!! Just like Bee Hive!!!

#1362 7 years ago

I'm always saying, "Transformers *be* the worst game ever". Therefore, Transformers.

(And also because of all the actual reasons.)

#1363 7 years ago

I think Apollyon nailed it.

Skids, Rachet, Bumblebee... Transformers!

I got to spend some time on a TF not long ago and developed an appreciation for the flow and rule set. It's not a perfect game (in a lot of ways) but it is fun and under appreciated for what it is.

#1364 7 years ago

That's like 3 in a row I've gotten wrong. I suck at this.

#1365 7 years ago

Transformers?! Oh boy.

Still anxiously awaiting Mustang, ST, and TWD.

SIGH

#1366 7 years ago
Quoted from Taxman:

Star Trek also

#1367 7 years ago

Sure looks like Transformers!!

#1368 7 years ago
Quoted from AirWolfNH:

Sure looks like Transformers!!

Well that's at least two dozen sales...

#1369 7 years ago

Transformers owners... Roll out!
ColorDMD has officially announced the next title! Congrats, TF owners!
Remember, color makes all pins better!

Let the moaning from ST and TWD owners begin anew!

#1370 7 years ago

I'll bite, I love my Transformers, be cool to check it out. Now Walking Dead next please!!

#1371 7 years ago
Quoted from TopMoose:

As a Mustang owner as well as the above, I will triple moan.

Me too.

GAME 53 COUNTDOWN STARTS NOW! 3!!!...

IMG_8875 (resized).JPGIMG_8875 (resized).JPG

Looks like a Royal Rumble to me

But the picture is called A song of Ice and Fire from Game of Thrones so it could be GOT

The tower in the background looks ever so slightly like the tower in TWD, so I'm incorrectly guessing/hoping it's that.

Mind you, bit of a blood bath going on there.

Obviously a battle/ competition scene, obviously WCS!!!

#1376 7 years ago

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Stern made the DMD animations on ST & TWD more complex on purpose? They both seem to use the same style, updated from the previous left-side-scoring of TRON & IM etc.

It's almost as if they said, "let's cause the ColorDMD people some headaches with these two".

#1377 7 years ago

Sure....now TWD will be coming out as I'm about to list my LE for sale. So it's a shoo-in for the TWD crew for sure.

#1378 7 years ago

Man, that tower in the background *really*... well -kinda- looks like TWD tower.

So much so I finally just hit the BUY button at ColorDMD.com. Fingers crossed!

#1379 7 years ago

I used an advanced image processor to look behind the warriors mask. It must be Twister!

Star Trek confirmed!

IMG_3894 (resized).JPGIMG_3894 (resized).JPG

#1381 7 years ago

When TWD and or ST is confirmed I'm buying 3 to complete my lineup (along with Lotr).

#1382 7 years ago

Duh, it's gotta be The Walking Dead! Has to be........

#1383 7 years ago

Any speculation whether TWD or ST when complete is going to require 1.3B controller boards? I am considering putting one of my older ColorDMD LCD on SIGMA and waiting for the color update. It will sort of be a waste, if the ROM is going to need more memory.

#1384 7 years ago

If it's GOT, I didn't know that was in the queue. That would be a nice surprise.

#1385 7 years ago

Too early in the coding life for GoT

#1386 7 years ago

If its GoT i'll cream myself and be $400 poorer

#1387 7 years ago

Thinking outside the box (for those of you who are locked into it being either TWD or GOT):

A reverse image search showed that this does, in fact, depict a scene from the Game of Thrones book series, showing Robert Baratheon vs Rhaegar Targaryen at the Battle of Trident.

The Baratheon Sigil is a stag - maybe indicating Big Buck Hunter?
"Trident" puts me in mind of a nautical theme like Baywatch or Sharkey's Shootout.
The knight on the right is about to make a punishing blow with his ax - maybe Striker Extreme?

Putting up a painting of Game of Thrones to tease the release of Game of Thrones isn't ColorDMD's style. I'm sure this won't make sense until the 2nd and 3rd clues are posted.

#1388 7 years ago

Have you ever seen a Sharkey's Shootout? That isn't nautical themed.

#1389 7 years ago

Three of the weapons shown are an Axe, Hammer and Sword and who knows maybe the guy on the right is about to get a multi kill

#1390 7 years ago
Quoted from dmbjunky:

I know, it's a billiards theme. Again, thinking outside the box.

#1391 7 years ago

Obviously they're illustrating the randomness of fate in battle as you rise to fortune. Clearly Wheel of Fortune.

#1392 7 years ago

The guy is about to deal a crushing blow. The only thing that could be running through his mind is "Yeah Baby". So obviously Austin Powers.

#1393 7 years ago

Obviously! You know that would be a game that would look GREAT with ColorDMD...

#1394 7 years ago

Would be awesome but its abit too straightforward to be a legit hint of got

#1395 7 years ago
Quoted from Edenecho:

I agree. My initial guess was and still is Royal Rumble. It wasn't until I image searched the picture and saw that it was from Game of Thrones that Got even entered my mind.

#1396 7 years ago
Quoted from phillymadison:

If it is that's another low-sales-potential release. I know they're bound somewhat by their colorists, but you'd think they'd try to balance the releases more with higher potential sales targets.

I disagree the Royal Rumble community is bigger than most think. It's not TZ or anything but WWFRR is loved my their owners. Wrestlemania is a different story lol. But it's just my guess and my guess doesn't make it confirmed by any means. But when you think about it what is left that's a high selling title that's code is complete enough? TWD only comes to mind.

#1398 7 years ago
Quoted from Taxman:

Was my first and only thought as well. AP it is.

It's a low-dollar, low desirability pin. I don't think a large amount of people are going to drop $400 on it to get color. You have to think of the Color DMD as a percentage of machine value. The larger that percentage, the less likely the upgrade will be bought.

#1400 7 years ago

Every Low Dollar pin colored brings in more sales for ColorDMD, win - win.
