Notice the first quote: "To infinity..."
Buzz branded? If nothing else, that's 100% confirmation of Toy Storyness.
Quoted from konghusker:I have zero problems with their theme selections. Actually I love their themes. The problem lies with the lack of assets after hobbit. Woz and hobbit set a standard that since has fallen short on every game.
There's a huge exception to this observation: GnR. That game is the gold-standard for assets in a music pin. They had full concert footage including concert-generated imagery, all put to great and extensive use in-game.
I realize everyone is hating on this release right now; that’s mostly understandable. There’s at least one element that looks innovative. The jump ramp is a very nice implementation. The slam ramp on NGG was a fun feature, but looked pretty clumsy, coming down onto the PF. The combination of hidden ramp and benson posts on TS4 is nicely done, IMHO. Great feature, and clean. Now, back to your regularly scheduled whining…
Quoted from seenev:Obviously stern wins hands down on flippers.
I couldn't disagree more. One of the worst parts of Sterns IMHO is the flippers. Way to slappy and clunky. I *adore* the flipper feel on the Williams WPC/WPC95 titles. Both American Pinball and JJP do a fine job of providing hardware and drivers that replicate that feel. One of the things I like most on the JJP games, in addition to the stellar build quality. This may be a generational thing. Those that grew up on Sterns in the last 20 years likely consider that the standard for flipper feel. My pinball heyday was the late 70s to 90s. WPC games were the best.
Quoted from TinyBlackDog:Stern flippers are the gold standard today.
Quoted from PtownPin:I do agree that the JJP game flippers are roughly the same feel as old BW games.
Quoted from snaroff:While I agree WPC flippers are the gold standard
This is obviously a matter of preference. Some think Stern; some think WPC. I'm in the later camp. One of the features I like on JJP titles.
Quoted from PrinzFred:Hobbit was a snooze fest with multiple quality issues.
The Hobbit I purchased off-route had 24,000 plays. It was the top earner for nearly 3 years in the large arcade I bought it from. It cleaned up beautifully, and looks nearly new after all that time. Hence, my experience is that it was very well built and held up quite well. As for "snooze-fest", that's a personal opinion. I find it a wonderful title and consider it one of the most underrated pins I've ever bought. Closest thing to an RPG in pinball, even better than AIQ in that regard.
