Quoted from Hazoff:Ah the JJP one man police force has spoken. Not allowed to critique in a JJP thread.

This is like the worst teaser ever. Provides zero info other than “something” is coming. Who didn’t already know that? Oye. JJP I love you but you’re killin me lol. :/
Quoted from delt31:What a great time for pinball though. I think everyone knows I’m big into tmnt and I absolutely love GnR. I’m getting both haha
Rick and Morty too.
Three different companies with different platforms different feel.
My last 4 games were JJP (DI), CGC (AFM), Spooky (TNA) and Stern (SW premium) happy with all the different choices we have.
Quoted from calprog:Are they really in bankruptcy!?!
No. Who said they were? Do you just randomly make wild accusations about everything or just this?
Quoted from Doctor6:No. Who said they were? Do you just randomly make wild accusations about everything or just this?
He was responding to luckymoey who brought up bankruptcy two posts before his.
Melbourne, ON
Quoted from epthegeek:Probably connectivity stuff Since it talks about innovation.
Possibly, but what about this?
- "You asked for innovation. We answered". What other company has brought more innovation to pinball in the last decade?
- then, they scroll through their catalogue of games in order of their release with a question mark following their last offering, Willy Wonka.
- finally, JJP are starting their own podcast on Monday, what better place to announce a new title with no shows in the immediate future?
I'm likely reading too much into this, but I've been waiting a long time for a substantial JJP announcement.

Quoted from calprog:Are they really in bankruptcy!?!
Sorry, I was being sarcastic. Non-licensed themes are a complete crapshoot that JJP can ill afford at this point from a marketing, and likely financial, perspective. Hopefully they are teasing the imminent launch of GNR and not trying to blunt Stern’s launch with wi-fi connectivity - that would be a big miss. Especially since Multimorphic beat them to the punch.
Quoted from Hammerhead:What other company has brought more innovation to pinball in the last decade?
Multimorphic
Innovation? How about getting the little things right like no pooling, chipping, or getting a game shipped out to me with out 4 things I needed to fix right out of the box before I could play a game?
Sorry about that, still a little bitter from my last JJp game.

Only four things? I can relate to that comment except I had a few more than that on mine. But luckily, no playfield issues. Knock on wood. I still like their pins. I just know that in the future, I will have to QC it myself when the next one arrives.
You can now control the flippers from your phone via a bluetooth connection!! Err, wait, that was fun for like 30 seconds.
Next.

This is the best teaser ever. Cast doubt on pinheads’mind just after a stern announcement while they are not ready to show anything.
It is strategic, it was prepared and timed for sure.
Quoted from solarvalue:Multimorphic
Yes. No dimpling.
I really hope it's gnr to get it out of the way. Jjp is my favorite company, but I swear they really suck at adapting or even discovering demand.
Woz was great. Hobbit was good, but lacking in good design. Dialed in would have sold double with Pat's original name and theme integration. He was shut down with family friendly bs control. Pirates had already been done and the license was on its way out. Great game, but shit theme. Charley is a great theme idea, but they made it sound like a slot machine. Then they're going to try to sell a slot machine family friendly gnr because slash wants it. Worst idea ever. I just hope they survive and put it one more great game so I can buy it.
Meanwhile, Stern cranks out black night, which is cheap and empty as fuck, but man, that theme, voice and lighting. What a cool rush! Or maybe you want to fight the fucking Devil? Pick up an imdn.
Most of us are old skids/heads (whatever you want to call them) or the little brothers of this group that hung out in smokey arcades where sketchy old men sold weed and played pool. The last thing we want is a family friendly gnr. Yes, some guys with kids will, but not the majority.
Rant over....
I would think this announcement is a new pin since they show the previous machines they've released. Probably since businesses are finally opening back up now that's why it feels like all these companies are announcing things at once cause they all opened up at the same time.
Quoted from Coindork:This was like walking into a titty bar to find out that the girls are only topless and the bar doesn't serve alcohol.
Even worse....

London
Quoted from drfrightner:Looks like one podcaster who said GNR won't be released until late July was wrong. I said the game will be revealed in June and who knows maybe even May still. This whole idea that it's going to take months to ramp up production is ridiculous. They didn't plan this move sleeping on it... this was probably months maybe even a year in works.
Bring on Paradise City!
Lets see... Guns N Roses vs TMNT. The turtles might as hell hide in their shell because that game looks like its for 5 year olds. NO THANKS!
I think you might have just got your ass handed to you on GNR 
Quoted from chet218:Anyone know the time frame of this announcement?
Two weeks.
Quoted from Beez:Well .... they got my attention regardless
Marketing 101
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Quoted from zaki:maybe it's a new version of the hobbit. like gandalf the grey edition.
One last edition of WOZ , then retired...
Just watched that video. Stupid. Means absolutely nothing. Pointless. Let's have some real info, Jack!
It feels like manufacturers use the word "innovation" way too much.
Taking wifi, or online play, or some other tech that's existed for decades and adding it to a pin isn't innovation. It's playing catch up.

Ability to play Online on pinball would be very covid period.

OK got it.
He says out of respect, he's not going to show the pictures which I think is the wrong approach. Does he not respect ANY of the folks behind all the games he's "spoiled"? I thought this was just about getting pinball news out K. No need to go into the respect or lack thereof - it's just pinball and showing people what they want.

How can he spoiled games announcement again and again? Does he have spies network?
Quoted from colonel_caverne:And can he spoiled games announcement again and again? Does he have spies network?
My guess is he use to have people and now he has fewer
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:It feels like manufacturers use the word "innovation" way too much.
That’s what you have to do if you’re a lifestyle brand. 
They will follow up this pre-announcement announcement to tell us the announcement is....
drum roll please...
their games are now wi-fi enabled. SMH
I'm hoping JJP is adding a camera to their next game! Imagine having the pinball machine take a picture of you while playing?!?
Quoted from PoMC:I'm hoping JJP is adding a camera to their next game! Imagine having the pinball machine take a picture of you while playing?!?
Already cheesy.

Dialed In had this.
Quoted from MikeS:Anyone know if JJP has hired and trained any line workers yet for the IL factory? There's gotta be someone local that can drive by the parking lot and see if there is any activity.
Guessing there are LOTS of already trained line workers looking to get on board. Stern likely had a bunch laid off recently that JJP could grab.
I get the impression that stern runs primarily on temp staff with just the core group always retained??
Quoted from colonel_caverne:Ability to play Online on pinball would be very covid period.
Sure, but it's not an innovation.
Quoted from chad:Dialed In had this.
i guess he was sarcastic

He talks out both sides of his mouth. Guys a hypocrite. One minute he is bashing JJP, the next he is spooning them. Its all about attention (see Histrionic personality disorder).
Quoted from zaphX:[quoted image]
The stuff he pulled with Wonka was a bit strange. He went crazy for that game (more then any other) only to back out of his purchase and then start bashing the game. I understand Kaneda has room for 1 game but I often get the vibe that he only seems interested in buying games that maintain or goes up in value. I can't really blame him for that as everyone wants their collection to hold its value but I think you also miss out on a lot with that mindset.

This is so true ^^^^^^^^^^
