Can someone explain what they mean by rendering? Are the pictures that we see images of a whitewood with the art inserted by a computer? Or, is the whole thing a computer generated graphic? It doesn't look like the latter.

Wow, now I'm impressed.

I actually think the playfield doesn't look bad, and I bet it will look better in person like Ritchie says. The pin looks fun to play (Prem/LE version). The real crime is the complete stripping down of the Pro in my opinion. I bet Ritchie designed the whole thing around the Prem/LE concept, imagining he was making the Pro and that they would add bling and extra features for the Prem/LE. Perhaps when the higher-ups saw the BOM, they told him he had to strip it down for the Pro version. Just pure speculation.

It won't look amateurish when you see it at my house. The only thing amateurish then will be your playing. #itson_e4mafia

But, they made a white wood, didn't they? Why not show decent gameplay on the white wood? The Archer guys are doing that, and they seem to be generating tons of buzz.

I thought the original teasers on Kiss were on a white wood, but I could be wrong.

The only reason they should is to change the conversation from being about the artwork to how great the pin plays. These 20-30 second video clips just aren't doing it. Frankly, the Blackwater multiball clip just looked kind of lame and boring to me primarily because it was so short and you couldn't see anything. Just a typical start to a multiball mode. Stern should show how the shots work and how the mini play field is incorporated into the game. Get people talking about something else for a change. Get people excited. Maybe under normal circumstances they wouldn't have to do this. But there is so much negativity at this point, I think it would be a good idea.

The Archer guys are people who are making a pin based on the TV show Archer. There is another thread about it with decent gameplay on a white wood.
