Quoted from Who-Dey:

Don’t forget, 10 more days!!

I can't wait for gameplay footage for this game.

On the surface - it's not as original in design as Jersey Jack's Pirates of the Caribbean with all those unique toys and mechs...but it could be fun as hell to play. For reference, Borg's other greats like Iron Man, Tron and the Walking Dead.

I bought WoZ and the Walking Dead a few months apart. I thought WoZ was a breath of fresh air when it arrived, but almost 12 months later I always gravitate to the brutal fast game of the Walking Dead. Borg just keeps pulling me back in. Guardians of the Galaxy has this potential. Hopefully it has the code to match.

Keep checking back for more gameplay footage. I haven't been excited like this for a pinball machine in a while.

Quoted from John_I:

As would a lot of them. Personally I will be happy with a tastefully done bootleg ROM done with Pinball Browser. The one in my Ironman VE is awesome with only a few changes. Just having Shoot to Thrill would have been enough to make me happy. The STLE one is great too. Not to mention you can pick your own songs if you know what you are doing.

When AC/DC was released, I would sing the praise of the jukebox concept over and over again. It was the greatest game I'd ever owned and you could pick a whole song out of a list of 12 classic AC/DC tracks for variety....then Metallica was released. My favourite band from high school.

Fast forward 4 years of ownership....go to play a game. Despite the variety in songs, it now seems like a chore listening to those tracks even though i still love the songs. In the case of Guardians of the Galaxy, I'm probably a bit younger than most hobbyists (?) and those songs have no connection to me whatsoever and the majority of the soundtrack music doesn't seem like they would fit into a game of fast pinball. Maybe snippets during multiball might be ok, but personally they'd get old fast if it was jukebox style. I like how Tron had some memorable soundtrack music, but also original pinball tracks in the same style. I think a happy medium with Guardians will be fine. Did 90s pinball machines suffer due to lack of movie soundtrack songs?

Quoted from Rarehero:

Plenty of DE games had licensed music. Lethal Weapon 3 had C&C Music Factory & some others. I think Last Action Hero had AC/DC and some others. Apollo 13 had Spirit in the Sky. Getaway had ZZ Top. Twilight Zone has then Golden Earring song of the same name. Most movie pins had the score music from the movie it was based on. So, in that sense GOTG having songs from the movie wouldn't be out of the ordinary - movie sound is part of a movie's character, and the songs in GOTG are a massive part of the movie's personality and DNA.

Sorry, I should have been more clear...I don't expect a game to have a full selectable jukebox style audio track in the game unless it's a music themed band pin. If they have parts of two popular "pop" songs from the movies during multiball, I would be happy. But that's just me.

Quoted from jgentry:

Was rumored to be working on Pulp Fiction for a long time but apparently there was a license issue. From what was rumored he has a layout ready though so stern needs to find him something to apply it too.

Noooooo.....well, I have no space for new pins, so this will give me time to think....and now Guardians is off the want list for the time being.
