Shot Multipliers have been around for a long time, but GOT & SW took it to the next level.
They were rewarded with tears aboot pinball including points & having to push a button a button on a fucking pinball machine FFS. 
The question is what can you reliably do mechanically to really impress people these days?
More complexity to mechanical pieces on the PF I guess could be interesting but what is left to do? Ships have sunk and rocked, balls shoot into trunks and hit by a hammer under a the PF, whats left? Bring ball walkers back? Do you guys just want a little or like a mousetrap/rube goldberg situation?
Quoted from Krupps4:The big display is fun for a bit, but with a home use game the scenes get old really quick. I flip past all the Elvira scenes in EHoH already. They are just too long and flipping past them keeps the game moving.
That isn't the displays fault, it's the programing; same as DMD era stuff.
Quoted from the9gman:I'd just like to see someone come up with a stand-up target that absorbs impact and doesn't rocket the ball against the glass or down the drain.....I've searched all weekend and found zilch,zero, nothing to be had
Vari-targets
Quoted from pookycade:Why does everything that interacts with the ball have to be a flipper ?
Flipper, targets, other balls, magnets.. all present. Can you explain how to fully realize the concept you're describing a bit more?
Quoted from Markharris2000:Always wondered if the manufacturers could combine a traditional horizontal playfield layout, with a vPinball vertical playfield (think Pacinko meets vPin) on the backglass.
I'm sure they could...would it be popular? The issue might be trying to find people that like both real & virtual pinball.
Updated/expanded hybrid of Banzai/pac
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Can’t wait for the collective sigh when you all finally get it.
Once again you gotta know your audience. 10,000+ posts on "how do I update my machine," What USB stick do I use," "Um having problems updating..."
Etc
Quoted from CrazyLevi:VR seems like a fad that is disappearing like a fart in the wind....
I wouldn't count it out just yet. If the ps5 with am actual wireless headset had make a move it MIGHT be big. Right now wires is a big fuckkng headache
Quoted from chad:1999 or so eh
Quoted from Sjsilver:1999! But that was only last deca...
Decades before that
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:That *particular* one was created for Pin2K. There probably are other machines with that feature.
Yes there are other machines before 2k, which is why i said it, and which makes it not innovative
Was P2k's right flipper crank only the first one? I'll take that all day
