I just got done playing about ten games of Deadpool artwork looks really good in person and the layout is nice and fast. Rules are good I noticed two issues in code which I am sure will get fixed in an update the two things where once I made it to Sauron instead of saving my villians progress it would reset them all. The other thing I noticed it would sometimes realese a locked ball in the sword for no reason.

They release new code?

4x BOOM!

Bring one or all four to GABF, please.

What is GABF?

Thanks for your assessment. I'll email stern. I will also suggest they hire you when you are done with college. =) thanks Alex

Thanks Chris.

NABD...just a small beer festival with a few beers. Some brewers know about it. DeadPool would be an awesome sight to see at a booth with a few beer in.

Hope you guys (star port/Helicon) will be there.

Just got a call from my distributor (Randy at Got Pinball). My pro is being delivered at house tomorrow!

I saw these same issues as well.

Listening to the H2H podcast, it sounds like Tanio has been waiting a while to get his shot at lead and I doubt he’s going to let things slide.

He certainly sounds like a passionate pinhead and excited to be lead finally, so I think he’s going to continue working on the code and polishing this game until he’s 100% satisfied that he’s knocked it out the park.

I can not speak for Helicon but I can not attend based on the dates I am seeing. However I would not rule out us being there in 2019. We operate in over a dozen brewery locations and represent a lot of brands. Thanks for the link and enjoy the show. Cheers!

I agree. With passion and seeing how excited the customer base is for this title, he has the ability to do something very special. Not only for us as pinheads, but in the realm of advancing his career! Go Tanio!

Already up to .81, that is good news.

Anyone know if/when there will be a stream of the LE/Prem? I’ve been tied up this week and am a bit behind on the latest.

After playing a bunch of games last night I was disappointed in the sword shot. So many times it would brick and miss the transition to the ramp. There were 4 machines and it happened on all of them. Hopefully it can be dialed in because it's frustrating when you make a shot only to have it get rejected. Didn't seem to happen much on the deadflip broadcast so maybe that one was tweaked.

How often would it happen? Are talking one out of ten or one out of three (clean shots)?

I hate when I make a shit and it gets rejected.

Maybe I need a new toilet or diet?

That;'s what I've been hearing as well. A good % of rejects

Hit that shot maybe 15 times and not one rejection. Not doubting you, but must be a matter of dialing it in.

My guess is this pin is just pitch sensitive, and there will be a sweet spot that the pin needs to be set at to make the ramp flow.

It is based on the launch code, version 0.81.

I would say 1/4 of the time it bricked. The ball speed seemed to have the biggest impact and the faster moving balls seemed to brick the most.

That's good to hear and as I said in my post it rarely happened in the Deadflip stream so that machine was likely dialed in better.

Probably should just sulk in silence, but I'm pretty disappointed in what I've seen streamed so far - the classic sounds don't fit the game to me, and the PG rated "humor" is a major disappointment. Its bad enough they castrated the character, but it's even lousy and unfunny on any level. This seems to be the most talented writing and voice actors they've ever used. WTF gives?!?

I'm hoping at least the sound will click more in person, and additional callouts and polish will improve things. God I hope the callouts improve with the 4th wall bits, etc.

Regardless, it's a complete failboat on making a super kid friendly Deadpool pin - someone deserves a kick to the nuts for that one, be it Stern's decision or a screw job by Disney. FAIL

Probably very sensitive to pitch angle I'd assume.

+1 of course
but meanwhile, why do they have to think about that (losing time/money in more coding) when they know that someone will do it later for free with a custom code release
and i'm pushing forward : i'm sure some customers will buy the pin just because of what i wrote above, that means they will sell more pin when they are doing less work on it !?

we can't verify that, but i'm sure this is true already with TWD, tanx to Kevin C.

Same thing happened to me on the one I played at Wonderland Brewery yesterday, between the stray ping pong balls rolling under the machines from a game behind me and someone's massive dog breathing on me, I gave up after two games lol.

that applies to every pinball machine ever made that tried to be funny, nothing new.

Obviously it's sensitive however my concern would be if you compensate it to handle faster shots then will normal shots start to miss. Hopefully there is a sweet spot that will handle both. I am curious if that guide can be adjusted like plunger shot in IMDN.

Doesn't change the fact/opinion though.

I get it, didn't stand up to expectations. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, , ,

How deep is the rule set on this title or how deep will it be, I understand it’s only at .81. I’m just curious because I am interested in this title, but in the main story mode right now there only 3 battle modes and 2 quests modes. Will more modes modes be added?

This is basically the jump shot from AMH (so flattering!) which was also a bitch to dial in.

The ball needs X amount of power to make it up a ramp. If you're just shooting a ramp straight there's just one variable "is there enough power?"

But with the curve to ramp you've also introduced speed which will affect the angle of the ball after it leaves the curve. You're basically "aiming" the ball with speed, and doubling the variables that affect ramp success since you still also need power.

Similar to Robocop as well. I love those jump shot ramps. Wish there were more games with them.

You have to give a little credit to the humor from the 90s... MM, AFM, MB, SS all had some pretty great lines that make you smirk while you play.

I do agree that game like SMVE just failed completely in the humor department, and from watching the stream, it seems like they used the same writers, or they just went so PG that anyone who isn't 14 isn't going to find this funny after half hour on this machine.

It's really too bad, because it's one of my dream themes, but callouts are super important to me, and could be the make or break factor.

Waiting to see what they do with the 1.0 code...

Good point, although these games were meant to be cheesy which is why it works. Deadpool is meant to be witty which is why it falls slightly flat (into Dad Joke territory).

I really can't remember the last genuinely funny pin.. all the recent ones that try to be funny almost always fall flat or just get painfully repetitive. There is a fine line when dealing with humor though, but Bally/Williams managed to get it right more than others. Definitely one thing I miss from modern pinball.

Brian Posehn is a good comedian though, so I still have hope they can pull it off with this one.

A "Sunny in Philadelphia" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm" pin would be the best shot we have.

family guy!

Cool avatar BTW! What's it from?

ASIP would be great! So long as it's got an "R" setting.

So much you could do with Sunny... Just imaging Day Man multiball.

The Big Lebowski is very hilarious, though there are so few delivered thus far that most people haven't had a chance to play one.

...when it breaks.

Honestly the more of the machine I see the more I like it,... except for the 'writing'.

I hoped there would be some 'story' if they have a writer but none is communicated.
'Writing' is only for Deadpools lines and these are,... well...

Let's just say I like a game where you get taunted a bit, like... Houdini. He tells you, you're sh*** when you suck.
But with Deadpool saying things like "hite the boom button" and then after hitting it "ooooooooooowwwww.... you git the boom button, I'm so proud of you (you cutsie wootie infant)" I wanna smack him in the face. I don't like taunting the player for doing what he is supposed to to, and then in this way. It's like a 10 year older brother taunting you, when you're just in puberty.

This honestly hits all my buttons the worst way it could. XD
(Having a 10 year older brother...)

I don't pay 6000$ for a game that insults me the whole time.
(And I honestly never felt that with any other game altough there are many that taunt you... Liking it when it's a girl. )

It ok, but that's a low bar for Deadpool, I want a call out when you hold the ball on a flipper for too long, he says shit like "Colossus loves it when you cradle his balls, I'm getting jealous"

So much Ball Jokes potential!

Thought I would share here as well, games arrived yesterday!
