Quoted from spfxted:I was hoping JJP would get the Star Wars license ….
You are not alone.
Now the only hope we have is if the force is with Lyman doing the code and the playfields stop falling apart.
Quoted from capguntrooper:First JJP music pin? My vote would be Michael Jackson if they could get the license. They would have to open a new factory to keep up with orders.
Since JJP is a New Jersey company it would probably be Springsteen or Bon Jovi.
Quoted from Colsond3:Am I missing something? Isn't the title of this thread "JJP #4 Announcement (Speculation)"? But then this link is posted?
Did Jack start working for Spooky or chiming in on their podcasts? Didn't have time to watch the whole thing, but just seems confusing that the title involves JJP with a link to a Spooky podcast.
I'm sure Harry Potter would be a huge success, but might not be one that I'd want personally if the PF layout is like Hobbit. I would much rather it be full and complicated with tons of ramps and shots like WOZ. It it's Superman, I'd definitely be in. This damn Atari one I have is such a pain in the ass, but I just like staring at it.
I believe the Podcast has the announcement of the next JJP game designer. The Podcast is pretty much independent of the pinball company Spooky from what I understood.
Quoted from Colsond3:Nooooooooo! Shot through the heart, and you're to blame (if it gets made) hahaha
I didn't say I wanted either, just stating what I think may be realistic if one of those licenses is obtainable.
If I was forced to choose one of Bon Jovi and Springsteen it certainly would be Springsteen. I never could relate to the Bon Jovi hair band pretty boy concept.

Quoted from pin_king:#4 will be presented very soon...
It will be a remake of a Stern title after 2003 but before 2010...
Then it is POTC.

Quoted from KingPinGames:I know people say that the want Harry Potter, but let's take a minute here to figure out how that could be done. Is it one table to cover all 7 books? that is a lot of information to be covered for even a widebody game. Do you break it down into 7 individual tables (not practical from a players point of view at all).
i have been thinking that this would be an amazing table as i am 37 years old and grew up with Harry (according to the books he is actually about 4 months younger than i am). I just don't see how one table could do the series the justice that it would take. Is there a different section of the playfield for each book? maybe an 7 sided (heptagon) mini playfield (think bride of pinbot) that would be specific for each book while the rest of the machine is general Harry Potter world (Hogwarts, Gringots, Hogsmead, etc). Even at that point, the "mini" playfield would have to be pretty big to cover books specific items.
Just a trying to visualize how it could be done.
With personal knowledge (my brother is the lead designer) on JJP #4, it is fun to watch what people have come up with. Lots of great themes have been brought up in this thread. I can neither confirm or deny if any (or all) of them are true or not.
Harry Potter would need to be a general themed game rather than a story telling game. The story is far too vast to tell it with a pinball machine. With a general theming you could have the main characters represented and various iconic events and locations like quidditch, the train station and the school. A moving staircase would seem to be a feature that could work for pinball.
