Quoted from cooked71:Nothing gets Pinside riled up like a Stern slow code game. But there is nothing about this game to suggest it will be abandoned. When was the last time Stern “abandoned” a game? Monopoly, 24, WOF or something? No chance Stern are going to allow Bond to be anything but the best it can be. Imo it’s the one of the biggest licenses Stern has ever had. You guys need to trust the only pinball company that knows how to deal with difficult IP holders. It might take time, but there’s way too much potential here to let this game be forgotten.
Wheel of Fortune - famously incomplete, but awesome post burning Gary's house down from Keefer after he was fired
Indy:Crystal Skull - the namesake wizard mode just wasn't coded - doesn't DO anything
Mustang - Technically complete (I think?), but left for dead after last minute license change to Mustang
Guardians of the Galaxy - also technically complete, but repetitive copy-paste gameplay with little variation
Munsters - DOA. Dwight never was given the chance to make Borg's design sing.
Bond - Not calling it a lost cause until we're in June and there's not a clear game gelling. But it's not looking good.
And, worth mentioning that it took over 3 YEARS for Ghostbusters to even get all the modes ON THE INSTRUCTION CARD. There was essentially nothing done to finish the game for 2.5 years after the pin was mostly complete, then the final update came. In Dwight we trust. Eventually. I cannot say the same for Lonnie. Hoping he surprises me.
