Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Yes; but at least JJP is shipping games with basic code, look at Bond, and nearly every other recent Stern. The bar keeps getting lowered and we’re getting games shipping at .6 code. It’s a disgrace and insult to buyers. We need games with minimum 1.0 code so if the manufacturer forsakes the game, it’s still “complete”.

You probably don't wanna argue code if you're on the jjp side. Where is pirate's finished code? Please tell me they're not stopping with gnrs code the way it is. Toy story needs more, too. Stern does release machines with lame code, but it gets finished big time.

The art looks great, it's everything else around it that ruins the package. Gorgeous art with all kinds of gaudy accents, cartoonish sculpts, etc

Different strokes for different folks. Does not look like a fun theme to me but then

Quoted from reffob:

This is the same problem I have with Toy Story 4. I love both of these franchises, I enjoy playing Toy Story but to me it feels like a carnival game with Toy Story images. For some reason I did not expect that approach with Godfather but it seems like they went that direction. Especially with that Tommy Gun dude in the back. Feels cartoony mafia. At least Toy Story IS a cartoon.
Eric is a great designer, I have no doubt the game will be fun, I was just hoping to be pulled into the Godfather world through pinball. Maybe that will still happen but so far I don't quite see it.

I agree. I think this was a theme of Godfather will pull in the superfans but not the average joe. Most people get a look of shock when I tell them how much an entry level pinball machine is now. I hope this sells well for JJP that they can continue to put out more. I will have to pass on this but I am excited for everyone that loves this theme.

There’s nothing original about Godzilla. Keith Elwin is a collage pinball designer. He doesn’t even remotely have his own vision.

I mean, if you're going to be a complete asshat, you should probably also call him a lousy pinball player?

I'll play it on location, but man these machines are getting too expensive to buy every 6 months. I'm not like some of these collectors who casually buy ever new game and just sell their year old machines each time. I get too attached to them and don't want to let them go.

Not seeing much more mech and toy wise than Toy Story 4. More molded sculpts for sure but mech and toy wise? No. Not a bad thing as Toy Story 4 has a decent amount already going on in it. This doesn’t appear to be some crazy loaded game though.

Quoted from jyeakley:

What is interesting about this whole thing to me is that there are no clips or callouts on the teaser. The design looks good, but to me the callouts, clips, and code will be what makes it or breaks it. At this point you don't know whether you are buying a "G Rated" Godfather machine or the OG "R Rated" version. Theme integration is key and with their prior track record, this has me worried - especially since they didn't highlight any of it in the video...

I wouldn’t worry about it being hardcore because I believe it will be true to theme They kicked that door down with GnR!!!

I'll gladly enjoy the Johnny Mnemonic I just picked up and never played before in my life and keep $12k where it is.

I'll NEVER get rid of my JM! And it is quite a savings..but more power to the folks who got in on a CE..too much for my blood (after FF, DP, CCrLE purchases)..It still looks like a better value than a TS4 CE, by a longshot. These are for the dudes with their own humadors..haha.

its crazy to see how the initial critisism turned into big FOMO ordering. haha

As said above: the trailer shows nothing of the screen or godfather integration into the gameplay: who says there is full movies integration like with the hobbit? If not, it could be a generic mafia theme. Not saying that’s not cool but I really need to see more than some vague playfield pics to tell if this is a great pinball.

I am glad that JJP did not get a chance to put their family-friendly spin on Aliens, but I'd rather would have hoped that a theme like Godfather would have been saved from that too...

The Art of Pinball guy is going to make a shit ton of money re making the sculpts on this one. Looks like it could be fun to play but I think I’ll wait for a second hand one…maybe. The CE has better cabinet art, but Jesus those legs and shooter rod are terrible.

It's one thing to borrow from your own previous designs, or to even borrow from other layouts in your own company...

The price kills it for me.

Looks like a $9500 to $10k game.

The CE with the topper I’m okay with as it’s somewhat limited and way out of my range.

I’m out on the price. Music and game look cool.

As shots go this game has way more than TS4 and GNR - that's pretty cool. Like the captured newton ball idea. And lift ramps? Gotta love the throwback to the System 11 era Waaay too much money for me to consider buying but I'll definitely play this on location. Good job Eric! And for those thinking its a GZ ripoff... no, I'm sure it won't feel like GZ. The upper left flipper is more AIQ/Demoman anyways.
