Quoted from Pdxmonkey:

It sounded like earning coins was a big part of the game. And buying upgrades within the game. So that's an aspect that is new.

Quoted from Whysnow:

I agree. I have been wanting more of this style of play. Now the real question is will they have software which allows players to sign in and save a profile? To me this is the next big and logical step that location pinball needs to take. I WANT a game with code as deep as counsel gaming when I can progress to see different parts of a game and build up my characters.
It seems simple enough to do. Basically have the ability to earn gold and then use that gold to buy different strengths (things like more power = less hits to defeat a boss, infinite save = ability to reapwn/ ball save for x amount of time, more soliders to battle with = turn the game into a multiball at any point) which the player can use at different times.
Basically turn pinball into more of a quest and have players coming back for more in order to get deeper into the game. It woudl take really deep code to do this but I see no reason it cant be done. It does seem this tech is already out there for all other similar gaming. For example I know the current iteration of BBH HD Arcade has something like this.

Quoted from Jgaltr56:

I'm hoping they go off script and come up with some new callouts instead of "JACKPOT" and "SUUUPER JACKPOT!" Those words were never uttered by a Lannister (or a Klingon for that matter).

Quoted from Rockytop:

The first thing I do when I see a new playfield is look for physical paths for the ball. I always think of 7 as the average number. What came to mind initially for me was the limited paths on the lower playfield (5) That doesn't really mean anything...ACDC has 5 paths on the main playfield and I love it. CFTBL has limited paths, but I love it.
I tend to like more shots in general. Games like TWD, XMEN, and MET really looked great to me at first blush because of the all the shots. That doesn't guarantee a game will be fun and a game can really open up when the code is great. I like games that make standups, drops, pops, etc... relevant and important to the game.
I tend to not think about standups and drops unless code makes them important. I don't think about captive ball shots as much. I do love the bell on ACDC and hope the battering ram is like that. It's going to be a very important shot with adding in the bonus multiplier and super jackpot. I certainly think those shots can become very satisfying when timed with the right sounds effect, lights, and shaker motor.
Upper playfield make me nervous and I think this game is going to ride on the upper playfield being fun. It certainly looks like it has potential to be great. I'm hoping in the upper right (where the silhouetted figure is) is another shot (maybe the moon door with a gate that could open and close, the matrix says there are 2 motorized gates) The upper playfield adds a lot of paths the left orbit, the 2 rollover lanes and possibly the far right shot. Obviously the standups add a lot of shots as well and I'm sure will figure heavily in the code.
I'm really excited to see gameplay footage and play it for myself. I love this theme and want to like this game. I'll pick up a premium if I like the upper playfield.

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Couldn't have said it better myself. This is spot on how I feel.

Quoted from Aurich:

In the show the Moon Door is an opening in the floor of the Eyrie, which is a castle high up on a mountain, that basically drops down into nothingness for all intents and purposes

Quoted from Luckydogg420:

This might have been the most brilliant idea that I have read of yours. now that would be a great pinball!

Quoted from Biv:

The Moon Door ist most likely the center drain from the upper pf.
Just look at the pictures - a round hole in the castle "floor" where the ball drops down.

Hearing SUUUUPPPEER JACKPPOOOT !! Never gets old. Makes me feel like a champ every time I hear it

Quoted from Aurich:

Man, if that's really it that's seriously bad. That's when you just don't mention something. I really hope that's not the case.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Stern loves to make basic things on their playfields sound amazing. Hey they have to with the rate they are stripping down playfields.

Quoted from swampfire:

* Hire a whore (mystery points)

Quoted from Luckydogg420:

Usually the whores give an STD, not mystery points; they sound way better.

Quoted from swampfire:

It would be really cool if a well-executed multiball awarded you with gold in addition to jackpots. And then you can spend the gold to take out enemies, making the next multiball easier. I can see it now:
You have 100 gold coins. You can:
* Hire an assassin to kill Theon Grayjoy (protect castle)
* Hire a sellsword to protect you (30 second ball save)
* Hire a whore (mystery points)
