Quoted from AMSNL:

On the box it’s stating there there going to be 3 versions
I’m trying to upload a picture but does not work :-/

According to their PB Facebook page, in posts area Cointaker says no XV version.

Lets see what happens first. Crazy thing is there is not info on the LV :-/

Quoted from delt31:

I'm hoping to see some pictures of underneath the pf.... The parts being used.

Me 2.

I'm really interested in the inner workings. under the PF, what's in the B Box. All that jazz.

Quoted from Llabnip1972:

I'm thinking black will look awesome.

Chrome is better than some kind vomit green or sparkly blue but black is the ticket.

Why is that crazy??? They said in December that there would be no LV info until mid-2021. I don't understand why people keep expecting info about it earlier. It has already been stated many times. WTF?

ANYWHERE BUT THE FIRST Fing THREE ROWS!

Have you seen one?! Still, blue is my favorite.

I don't want 2. I've never liked colored armor or powder coating. Part of the reason I stopped buying LE's. Just not my thing. Black, with a little grit to it. Thats the ticket.
Still what a beauty. I so wish Heighway had kept going. I'd have my LE and who knows what else from them by. That's a shame.

Well black is a color too!

African Armor, please.

#3260 2 years ago

I never liked the green as it was implemented...and I'm very much a black on lime green person. For whatever reason though, it just didn't click with me. Needed to be 'less' I think. I'm thinkings layered crackled black with the lime underneath peaking through...actually...el paper under it would look pretty f'ng cool too.

An when they announce... Will be the usual negativity that seems all to common here

When they build it , you can buy it... probably will still be out before CGC builds another remake

Yeah, I know. Changing the metal another color or shade was the point.

A little light reading to get excited while we wait for the LV

That's just as bad, actually disturbing. How about "Its pretty good" Sorry, I can't stand these new forced words, especiallt when they are coming from people who just shouldn't be using them, I mean I hate it regardless but "Dog" and "Bro" its like old guys starting sentences with "Dude" its just embarrassing. Don't get me started on sandals.

And here I thought this thread was about pinball , boy were I wrong...

Quoted from LordHumungus:

I’m missing your other avatar, Hazoff! Delt did some cool movie integration to JP code, so I figured he will build on what is already happening in the og community with audio mods. The code is already excellent, but it was fun to see that on JP, which really needed it. It may not be worth the time to implement, if the code allows anyhow. The universe here is solid without Ripley, but most people ask where she went. Back to the snooze button on Alien remake. I bet it will be in production for a while.

I'll do my best to bend the rest of humanity to fit into the mold you've created for them. A lot of these jerks are just going around participating in completely different cultures with unique mannerisms and language though so it might take a while, mein furher.

Oh yeah I saw that, I prefer the animations myself. I liked the first Jurassic park but that was long ago. It was on the other day, couldn't get past 20 min.

No idea what this means. Just try not to use "Dope" cause believe me I'm not the only one who thinks it sounds ridiculous, might be part of the few willing to say that its ridiculous. Word.

Quoted from Lhyrgoif:

boy were I wrong...

Ur spell check certainly is. How long to u figure we can discuss the 60 secs of video from France before the topic goes off the rails again.

Quoted from gliebig:

Whatever, mang.

This is great. I think ur avatar is grateful dead? That = Sandal wearer. I'll be grateful when the whole band is dead.

Man I'm having a good time here, u guys are gonna cause me to crack a beer early. keep it coming.

I have a few, try to switch it up. here ya go.

#3283 2 years ago

Fun to see 6 Aliens in a row.....

Agreed, anxious to see " under the hood" .
Code had to accommodate magnet, physical lock, diff screen configuration, pf inserts,, etc. so had to be addressed.. Not sure that constitutes " better" or not.

BB empty except screen and speakers like before, so have to believe everything lives below.

Can't make it out in any of the videos or pics...are there actual rollover microswitches on the outlanes? Didn't see them...guessing the proximity sensors are still being used(?)

Believe @ averell is the only one that has toyed w adding, changing some audio/ video elements w Brian's help. PB doesn't work on this game tmk...could be wrong.

Anyway, fun to speculate what could be coming...the good side of this effort so far...

Quoted from bobukcat:

I haven't seen it in person but the people I know that did said the armor, cabinet art and translite were all sub-standard and stuck out pretty badly.

I can attest to that...played it at the Pinbrew show and right away, the cabinet art looked like someone printed it on their home printer and forgot to use gloss paper....looked really cheap, the "armor" was just usual pinball rails etc...which most will powder coat anyway, and the "back glass" was REALLY bad! multiple holes drilled for the speakers and the whole plastic back glass flopped around in the back box...really sad. Game play was good, but the cabinet was just sad/cheap looking.....and yes I am a fan of this pin....had a deposit on the Highway pin back whenever that was since I try to forget.

Brian

#3286 2 years ago

Second the cabinet and back plastic being very disappointing.

#3287 2 years ago

That’s why PB or someone needs to correctly show the features on this game so people can know what their getting. Fuckin weird way of doing business IMO.

They are using induction/proximity switches that are more modular. On the video/audio, you are correct that Averell has done some great work on it, super talented guy, as well as @mik-readinguk. Some videos over on the og forum.

Hmm on the switches....I've got some of Averell's files ( shared and others) in my machine so familiar. Was simply referencing this wasn't done w pinball browser...

Yeah, PB doesn't seem to work from what I have gathered. Cool you have extra files! Would like to do that after I finish other projects unrelated to pinball.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

One things for sure its better than "backglass and cab look great but the pf and mechs stink"

Cab art, I never really see it doesn't for me and backglass would be a fairly cheap fix. It should be all good from the factory but my worry is the reliability and condition of the PF/guts of the game.

Brian

I can live with the cabinet art work as most of the time you look at it when you first get the game and then it goes into the lineup and you forget about it. The back glass concerns me. For the premium price I want a real back glass, not some flimsy POS plastic with art.

#3294 2 years ago
Quoted from delt31:

I'm hoping to see some pictures of underneath the pf.... The parts being used.

If still relevant when I get my machine, I will do a comprehensive breakdown off the game on my stream, including lifting the PF, opening the backbox etc. I've setup a handheld camera for this purpose so you'll be able to ask exactly what you want to see and you'll get the close-up.

I'm #32 with CT but at the current rate of producing games it will be Christmas before I get it and the new-game-smell has ascended.

I keep seeing/hearing rumors that there are additional callouts that weren't in the original? Can anyone confirm? Like I thought I saw someone mention something about Bill Paxton, was he in the original?

Maybe there will be an LE that has it, otherwise Im out.....

REALLY DISAPPOINTED....

Because you’d rather buy all the other games that have in-playfield screens?
