Quoted from mtdouble:

Way off or is it the angle?

CaptureMM.PNG

this is the biggest thing I was concerned about. That looks pretty bad.

Everything else looks amazing!

Some MMRLE Troll Action!
» YouTube video

How is the resolution of the translite? Does it look pretty sharp?

I have a question...

So did the original MM have blinking/interactive backbox lights or just one solid light?

I've heard there is only one light that illuminates MMR's.

Someone tell me I'm wrong. That's kind of a big deal.

Quoted from epthegeek:

In Marc's video at the end when he's playing, you can see flashers going off in the backbox

Yep! I see them! Good!

I'll shutup now.

Please...someone post something new...a video...a picture...a review! I'm dying here.

I do have a couple of questions for those who have it already:

1) How are the flashers in comparison to the original? Are the flashers LED? Do they give off the same brightness/crispness?

2) How is the weight or the feel when you need to nudge? Is it similar?

Alright ladies and gentlemen...what is the consensus (playfield, music, lighting...etc.)? Does it hold up to a William's? Does it play exactly like the original? Any corners cut (cheap wood, flimsy plastics)?

I want your opinions!

Quoted from jfh:

MMR should play well - otherwise it's a total failure as a remake of a game that plays well.
MMR plays quite well, but I don't get how/why people think MMR plays faster than MM - this is more a function of playfield condition (and possibly flipper coil strength) than anything else.
I played MMR and MM side by side at TPF and while MMR felt a little "snappier" I think it was newer and had significantly fewer plays on it made more of the difference. When I got home, my MM played better than either which says that a well-leveled, well-maintained game with a cleaned and waxed playfield usually wins.
MMR is close enough for anyone that wants a MM, but its value is based on newness and price than anything else. The build quality argument is a joke - at best, MMR is similar (though I would argue it loses points for the slingshot issue and gets a point or two for the cabinet).
It's also too early to weigh in on MMR reliability - certainly way too early to claim that it's "very reliable" - as there aren't that many in heavy use yet and it's very very early in the electronics life cycle. Whatever knocks you can through at the WPC-95 platform, it's hard to argue with its success, long term viability and serviceability. The biggest risk to MMR's reliability is whether or not CGC continues with the remakes with any significant volume to ensure the viability/continuance of the electronics and reducing the inherent risk of it becoming a "one-off" platform.
Another thing to consider here is whether or not CGC is a liability moving forward. PPS/MMR benefitted significantly early on when everyone though PPS/Rick was in charge and setting direction - which Rick used to his advantage until issues started cropping up. (It was good marketing - certainly the initial enthusiasm would have been dampened if MMR was announced upfront as a CGC project rather than a PPS one). If PPS doesn't really have a lot of control over the remake process going forward, that has to be a negative.
Dispite the issues I have with Rick and what I consider his arrogant approach, I still trust him to drive more than Doug - Rick "gets" pinball, Doug just doesn't. Charging for the colorization support is beyond tone-deaf. And clearly the CGC approach to project management has been an abysmal failure. I'm not sure Rick would have done any better, but he certainly couldn't have done any worse.
MMR will certainly go down in pinball history as a success - but not as the "out of the park" success it looked like in 2013.

Seriously. Everything you just said is 100% right.

I don't understand how they didn't just hire someone to do the communication work. Create a newsletter with everyones e-mail. Update your blog...just be honest...I mean damn. They have a great product...they COULD have everyone's trust.

I trust Rick to manage and create a great game - but they need a PR person - badly.

Edit: still waiting on mine...

Quoted from Pimp77:

Beat me to it...LEDs put off almost no heat. I've used gels with incandescent bulbs with no issues. You will have no issues with LEDs for sure.

No one should have to use gel inserts on their brand new machine...lol

Beautiful mschonbrun.

That is the playfields I purchased and expected.

Will you take a few shots up close and with the LED's at full blast.
