    It's time for Pinside to will this into existence. This and Back to the Future are my grail themes that haven't been done lately.

    My thoughts/wishlist:

    1. Don't try to do too much. Make it based on either Sean Connery's bond movies, or Daniel Craig's, but not the entire series of movies and actors.

    2. Keith, Brian Eddy, or Eric M. on design

    3. You need the assets. Music, art, actors, film scenes, etc...I'd be disappointed with a generic story without assets.

    4. Give me a castle in MM level feature (probably won't happen, but it's my wishlist)

    Quoted from Pahuffman:

    I've recently been going back and watching all the movies. The Roger Moore era was horrendous. Timothy Dalton is underrated. Connery wins the prize by a long shot.
    I'd be down for another Bond pin. It's a timeless theme that would easily sell.
    The new movie is probably going to suck. It is what it is.

    I tend to agree. The Roger Moore movies to me are mindless/campy fun, but he is my least favorite bond.

    My order is Connery, Craig, Dalton, Brosnan, Lazenby, Moore.

    Quoted from snaroff:

    The remake of Casino Royale was the best Bond film of all-time. Craig.

    I like it, but I think Skyfall is Craig's best movie, and maybe the best Bond movie.

    #15 3 years ago

    Overall, I'd like one based on Connery's six films. If you couldn't get the license to all those...get the movies you could.

    - Dr. no
    - From Russia with Love
    - Thunderball
    - You Only Live Twice
    - Goldfinger
    - Diamonds are Forever

    Quoted from miracleman:

    A pin based on all the Bond films would be great, with 3 or 4 modes for each based on the action scenes.
    (LOL, that'd be 100 modes)
    This 2012 blu-ray commercial shows the potential...

    No Time to Die is the 25th Bond film. That would be 70-100 modes.

    In my opinion, that would be crazy hard to bring in that much material. I think it would lead to a watered down experience.

    I rather see it focused on an era.

    #21 3 years ago

    Slightly off topic, but after Craig is done, I would like to see the franchise go back to the 50's, where Ian Fleming novels originally took place. (Casino Royale was published in 1953)

    I have read most of the novels, and some like Moonraker are really great and nothing at all like the movie.

    They need a hard reset after Craig. His movies told one story and it would be hard to replace him I think like they have in the past. They could even set the movie in WWII and tell the beginning of Bond's espionage career.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    I'm tired of all this over serious bullshit. The last Bond movie was fucking awful.
    Time to reset - again. This time go back to the goofy Moore years and have a few laughs. Why the hell not?
    Craig isn't even the first "serious reboot." Dalton did it 30 years ago.
    Variety is the spice of life. The last Bond movie was no fucking fun at all.
    As an aside, I hope the next Bond is black, preferably gay. Variety baby!
    I'm not ready for him to be a woman though. I heard rumors in the early 90s they were thinking of making Sharon Stone Bond, or having Tarantino direct and make it a 60s period piece. Interesting ideas!
    In the end they went with Remmington's Steele's warmed over Connery act. Was a good move for the time and Goldeneye was a fun movie. The rest of his sucked.

    I like the tone of Craig's movies. I liked Spectre.

    Overall I prefer the more serious Bonds...Connery, Dalton, and Craig vs Moore and Brosnan.

    I think the reset we'll see will be to set Bond in the 50s or 60s, which I think would be great.

    Quoted from kvan99:

    You need to get the license for the Aston Martin.....the ball can go in a scoop, you flip the shooter rod top and hit the eject button to shoot at a stand up on the pf. And of course the shooter rod will have to be an L shaped shift lever for maximum effect. It also needs a jump ramp like No Fear. Hmmm, also you need a laser, the laser will be pointing to a surgical table with the Bond figure strapped to it...you have to hit certain shots to stop the laser from cutting Bond in half....lol. this could be great...but you know we'll just end up with a Dr. No bash toy instead.

    Haha, I like your ideas.

    The shooter rod idea is great. That would would be perfect theme integration.

    I really liked his two movies. I wish he had made more.

    Elements a Bond game needs: This assumes a pin would be based on multiple movies and not one in particular.

    - Most movies include a massive structure getting blown to hell in the final act.

    1. The pin needs a MM level type toy that is multi staged and gets "destroyed". This could represent a major villain.

    - Gambling of some sort.

    2. Could be in the modes, represented in the artwork, or with playfield toys, but gambling needs to be the game.

    - Major villain

    3. Need assets and callouts and scenes of the beat lines from whatever villains are in the game.

    - Alcohol

    You need this in the game. A martini like DP did with the white russian would be cool.

    - Bond Girls

    The game needs callouts from the major Bond girls, and artwork, etc...

    - Ashton Martin or fast cars in general

    Could be used as a ball lock/cannon, or like one previous poster mentioned an eject button in the shooter rod that ejects or shoots a ball.

    - Exotic locations

    Artwork/plastics/screen could reflect different locations where Bond is traveling.

    - Music

    You have to have the Bond soundtrack and title songs from the movies represented.

    - Walther PPK

    Bond's gun could be used in a variety of ways. It could be the action button that fired something...a gun instead of a shooter knob, etc...

    - Gadgets

    Seems like a good use of magnets or "lasers". Lots of creative options here.

    Quoted from o-din:

    How bout another Ward Bond pinball theme?
    I know they already did Wagon Train, but this time it could include video scenes from the show and that epic theme song.[quoted image]

    Or they could go with John Wayne and Ward Bond. Lots of movies there to choose from.

    I just saw this. RIP Sean Connery.

    Maybe good time to make a Bond pin in his memory

    Agreed.

    I've heard rumors Stern has the license...don't know if that's true.

    After getting my GnR, I hope JJP does it.

    Has anyone heard anything lately?

    #42 3 years ago
    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    18 minutes ago I heard a rumor Stern has the license. From you.
    That's about it!

    If we both heard the rumor, it must be true then

    Sounds like Bond is happening.

    I hope it's based off either Sean Connery's movies or Daniel Craig's. Has anyone heard anything other than Gomez on the design?

    Quoted from swinks:

    Hope the game is S.P.E.C.T.R.E and you the player is James Bond and you have to defeat 8 villains (1 for each tentacle) and then head of the organisation.
    Even though characters like Jaws may not have fallen under an organisation it could be a cool way to link all the best villains in one game and then have a generic bond - all the faces morphed together
    [quoted image]

    That's actually a cool idea...I like it.
