Left upper ramp 'curve' is typical Gomez!

Link with time stamp.

Not really. DMD opened the gates to "modes", so yes it sucked ressources, but it did something with gameplay.

Yes. My Operation Thunder is the best game of all time because of that, but still...

I noticed a serious bummer:

The pro having only 1, not 2 controlled gates means the left orbit shot always goes straight into the pops, making the Premium/ LE a faster playing game.
So the abundace of the orbit feeding the sword ramp means there is no "left orbit" on the pro at all.

Edit: What does a downvote mean in this case? XD

Well it is "Motorized".

Didn't notice it to be honest on Transformers. *cough*

I, at the moment, have 2 games at home. A Gomez Johnny Mnemonic, wich plays mostly superfast, wich I like.
And a Bally Atlantis, wich strangely has its drop target bank and pops kinda in the same Spot as Deadpool,... but with 2 one way ramps. So there is no Orbit shot at all.
For me seeing Deadpool is a really coincidental meshup of my "collection" (lol), and I always thought that I'd like Atlantis to have controlled ramps, to make it a far smoother game. (Waiting fo the Ball to bang off the gate everytime, and get out of the pops is so-so.)

Well I just have to see and play...

Good it's 16 Bit then.

Read it again. Also in the press release it's described how it works.

Yes, you can see the gate by the truck (right curve) if you look trough the photos.

After one day and getting pretty hyped up it’s time to ask the question: Will I buy?
Answer: No/ Not yet. I definately have to play it first.

While the game looks sweet and the layout is interesting, the Bashpool as only interactive mech is a bit lacking. That might be no problem at all (like with Iron Maiden Pro), but as one that bought a Star Wars Pro on release and sold it after 2 weeks, because the Tie fighter on a spring didn’t do it for me, I’m definitely cautious.
Code/ Callouts/ LCD could definitely make the game stand out but we yet have to see more of that.

Anyone knows how/ if the “Modes” form a story?

Left Orbit = Pops.

See one way gate in released photos.

So, send me your pictures, I'll look at you.

"need"?!

Wow. Where do you "here" that, other then doing that for 5 months allready and writing it down in the feature matrix.

I'm allowed to make mistakes, since this isn't my mother tongue.

Whilst you're right I would never admit that in best online forum fashion.

Corrected that!

Maybe she thinks the world is finally ready for the John Lennon Plastic Ono Band Mashup?

My ears start to bleed just thinking of it...

Yes sure because it was said by George multiple times.

Every track is different alltogether all over the place...

But yeah the main songs are techno & hard rock.

Since you're obviously new to the forum:

You don't need trivial things such as information to form an opinion and defend your position to the death.

Overall I'm pretty impressed but what stands out for me...

Positive:
I liked that you could kinda permanently stay in multiball with the lil Deadpool Toy, locking 1 Ball easy.
Liked the Lil Deadpool alltogether with his nice sounds and lighting it looks way more fun then a Tie Fighter on a spring and I don't continue thinking a major toy is missing.

Loved that the Katana drops one Ball from the stock while the one coming in is still on it's way.

Shots seemed awesome. Flow is great, Gomez Ramps not clunking too often.

Not quite as positive:
Some kind of presented story/ or shown linear progression to a goal is missing for me. For me not knowing the comics, that's all random stuff happening.
Something like "I need to smack all of X to Y" would be enough (like the one Sentence at the beginning of TotAN).

The music is... ok. Some tracks are great but the problem with beeing all over the place is that you definately have something in there that you like less.
I guess I'd change a track or something.

Lighting could be enhanced with Disco Mode on the Pro having some blinking GI or something; I guess that will come overtime.

Usually it isn't the other way around ain't it? You work with original content and you activate family mode.

For R rated setting: Deadpool doesn't have one. Gomez said so himself.

Money?

You are right.

You can still hear them talking, just a little bit.
And Sound Quality this way is not too good so I wouldn't be worried.

Jack streams of old (usual) are with chatter troughout the whole game.

It's nice to keep all the chatter (info) compressed at the beginning and the end for a "presentation" like this.

"FREE PINS FOR EVERYONE!!!" ?

Yes we are.

Wich doesn't mean that it's impossible to get it as an afterthought.

But right now it is PG (I think you call it this way? Our age ratings are different.), Gomez said.

Corrected that!

...because Marvel asked for a Family friendly pin. (According to the interview.)

So there's no chance for an R-Mode I think, if the license holder doesn't approve.

Maybe you have to bring human sacrifices for Sterns next SLE.

BOOM!

Our local retailer has one allready!

Time to check it out.

We allways get them "sent" first, but ships are usually slow...

About 2 more weeks till the game drops here regulary.
(As written above we allready have one flown in... BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME ANY EARLIER THEN IN 2 WEEKS TO DROP BY. XD )

...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. )

So much Ball Jokes potential!

They propably change the speech bubble to be PG.
It'd definately AO, since he has balls in his mouth. *facepalm*

Since None of your Problems happened in the stream (and with noone I personally know have played it) it'll be a thing of dialing it in... I think.

Had a GB Pro, hated the scoleris but with deadpool the targets seem to be further away.

Had a Star Wars and it was so badly adjusted, each and every shot in the horseshoe went straight down the middle.
That's just the way it is I suppose. There is some tollerance and you have to fine tune.

I prefer my hands.

I do WD40 on my ramps.

I wipe it off immediately, but it prevents rust, cleans and gives it a nice shine.

Did you read that "wipe it of" part?

And I do it when taking the machine apart and the ramps are out, in part of the process.

Yeah to be honest not WD-40 but something that is about the same, and I use it after ultrasonic (?) cleaning to drive any remaining water after drying away,... with the positive side effect that it really let's all the mechanics shine (rust remover if any). Wouldn't leave it on of course, course it binds dirt in the long run.

Well, yes and no.

Plastic ramps are not made of stainless steel (and the flaps rust) and the wire ramps may rust as well (propaby only on the surface).

Not really. - Sam System was not made for LED, so when Star Trek Pro uses the multicolour lights the LED is propably just getting adressed as an asset of multiple lights. Premium/ LE has a completely different light managemant & mainboard. When you get Klingon Multiball in the Pro you can hear the relais working to activate the flashers. In the Premium/ LE you hear nothing.

You got it wrong.

The LED itself can do orange but the boards can't produce the signal for it do do so.
Every R-G-B calbe only goes full/ the same power, so you can only have red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan and white.

If you want to do orange you have to be able adjust the voltage on the different RGB channels.
Pro can not do this.

But if the LED can produce red and green (wich is yellow) it can also produce orange.
You just have to 'dim' the green. But Pro Model can't shine R, G and B at different luminences, wich is not fault of the led but of the board unable to adjust the voltages.

Edit: Oh and, the single mounted RGB-LED in the Premium/LE have the same part number then the Pro. Case closed.

You mean Premium/ LE.

Whem its only semantics Then why bother answering multiple times? Never stated something else.
Just explained why that is.

Played it and I really like it.
I actually like it's flow and see no 'clunkyness' altought admitted it certainly is no Steve Ritchie game.
(Steve Ritchie games have no 'flow', the're pure butter.)

I really love the Katana shot because it is just really satisfying/ rewarding.
And Deadpool has a good mix of easy (Bashpool) and hard shots.

Oh, and... as a former Ghostbusters owner: Not ONE airball from the Mini-Bashpool drop Targets.
