Oktoberfest: ***Warning this is gross, watch if you dare***

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

That was truly gross! Wish I could unwatch it.

Agreed. I added a warning to my post.

I never would have thought they could make this theme into a pinball machine without misogynistic art focusing on the women of the festival. It appears to be more about the carnival atmosphere than what I was expecting. The art looks vibrant and festive.

It looks like it could be fun to play.

It is going to be real interesting comparing this game in features and price as compared to the so-called next great Stern that is soon to be announced, the Munsters.

It would have been nice if they could have announced the price on Oktoberfest tonight.

Does this game have any orbits?

#907 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

It calls for you to make orbits, so probably, but I never saw any go all the way around.

Perhaps the ramp lifts to expose the orbit?

Quoted from Wmsfan-GAP:

The ramps and wireforms look really cool. Something I did notice while watching- twice when them ball came up from the vuk in the center and went down the left wireform, I'd swear, it hit the playfield glass at one point. Not at the vuk upwards point, but down closer to the left flipper....

Could be an intentional harkening back to whitewater.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Were there any other contestants?

Not really, Stern has learned not to try and compete. The buyers really have not done anything to force them to compete and neither have the competition for that matter. As I said earlier, it will be interesting to see where American Pinball prices this game because if enough games come out that are full featured and priced lower than Stern then you could see some pressure for pricing adjustments. How many upper priced games can this market absorb?

What would happen to Stern if suddenly the combination of JJP, American, and Deeproot were putting out 5 new full-featured titles a year between them that were all priced at $7000 to $7500? That would be in addition to Chicago gaming putting out about one remake every 1.5 years. Stern's overhead could be a real problem for them if they can't just rake in the money like they have been the last couple years.
