    Does the podcast mention an announcement date or anything? I can't listen to the whole hour and a half right now but would like to read what the "HUGE NEWS" from the description was.

    Edit: Or is the huge news that Eric is the designer? That's definitely great news but I think OP was looking for any teasers about the next game besides who is making it.

    Quoted from KingBW:

    +1 on that ... unless it is more expensive than DI.

    I'd preorder a Harry Potter CE pretty much right up to BM66 SLE prices. It's the one theme I've accepted I would pay "irresponsible amounts" for.

    I would love to see them come up with a way to have the ramps move around like the staircases from the films

    I'm pretty sure Jack specifically said they will NOT be doing POTC.

    One of Jack's big goals is to bring new people into the pinball market. He told me two big target demographics for him are women and children. I can't really think of any bands that would do a good job of bringing lots of women or children into pinball. Critically acclaimed films on the other hand are enjoyed by just about everyone.

    LEGO Pinball would definitely be fun. And it's in an interesting "between" zone of original, but still licensed. They could create their own theme utilizing LEGO if they wanted. It wouldn't have to be strictly the LEGO Movie.

    As far as Disney licenses - I'm fairly certain Stern does not have exclusivity. And from Disney's standpoint exclusivity doesn't make sense. Why go exclusive with Stern, who will put out probably 1 movie license in a given year when you could spread the pot and get 2+ movie licenses out in a year. Think about how prolific Disney is. They have their hands in EVERY cookie jar. There are Disney cups, oven mitts, Christmas stockings, shoes, candles, phone cases, salt and pepper shakers, band aids, erasers, and every other type of trinket.

    Disney is everywhere, I don't see why they would draw the line with a single pinball company.

    I hear Stern has that license

    #71 7 years ago

    Yeah, I think the other goal is to not also drive away 100% of the existing market

    People still are. There's no need to do ALL unlicensed pins. I'd like to see future unlicensed pins, but I also want Harry Potter. The ideas aren't at odds.

    #90 7 years ago

    On the other hand, licensed themes can miss hard too. Aerosmith is a complete pass for me on theme alone, even though the shot map seems fine and the toybox is a cool trick.

    It's Guy Fieri, talked to a source yesterday. It's a new playfield shape, shaped like a cheeseburger.

    I feel like all anonymous unnamed sources are worth the same. Zero.

    #283 6 years ago

    Harry Potter is my dream theme and it's not about the movies. The movies are a live action proxy for the books, which needless to say have a massive following.

    #289 6 years ago

    I think maybe just doing up through the triwizard tournament for a table would be a good option. Or really just books 1-3. The first three are very different than the last 3 and book 4 marks a strong transition in tone. I feel like books 1-3 could make a strong game on their own.

    Plus then we could have two tables. The second covering what's left
