Quoted from J-Freeze:

I WISH they would've made it based on the books!

Quoted from Aurich:

Zero chance. If anyone else wants to do the work to get the Stern C&D feel free, but those days are behind me. And fair enough, they pay the license fees etc, within their rights to shut down people who don't. Not mad about it, just how it works now. Anyone can draw dinosaurs, but stick the JP logo on and it's got a target on it.
Any mods I do in the future will steer clear of trademark issues like that.
I will admit that the early look at the art isn't grabbing me, but I'd wait until proper high rez photos are out, and it's probably better lit up instead of mocked up. But at worst it's just good enough, there's nothing wrong with it. I looked at the artist's site, he clearly talented, it may come to life better when the details can be seen.

Quoted from Oaken:

Some of us married well.

Quoted from Stuieb84:

The upper right flipper loop reminds me of the getaway 2

Quoted from RipleYYY:

my overall feeling remain more than positive
but right now i'm thinking to those who were complaining about the fact that (in GB) we're always starting/seeing WHO BROUGHT THE DOG ?
i understand that playing JP is as following a story, with a quite close script, in which you can change/jump right or left (when moving to the next level) to get some variety, but i'm not sure... really have to play this more than a lot & see what happends (or not) to me personaly

Quoted from sethi_i:

The GB linear "bitching" came to my mind as well as I watched them start at the bottom of the map and move up. I don't know how they would "advance" up the map without playing the lower paddocks, based on Keith's description of left/right path progression.
Honestly though, I really couldn't follow the rules very well from just watching the stream (all of it on both games). Keith said he didn't want to give anything away, but I'm not sure that there is a whole lot to give away yet. Code looked pretty basic, but the layout and total number of shots/combos that could be made looked really good. 4 possible ramp shots + loops is pretty innovative.
I'm sure code will improve, and with so many shots, hopefully the depth comes. I just couldn't figure out why they were doing what they were doing without more dialog. Bottom line is I'm much more interested in this than IMDN. Can't wait to try it.

Quoted from Jediturtle:

Since the ball is stopped in the left inlane for the Smart Missile countdown, I think it would be a cool touch to have the action button used to "launch the missle" (actuate the left flipper). It would have the same feel as firing the canon in AC/DC, etc, and be a nice throw-back to the DE JP Smart Missile button. Of course make it an option since there will be people who either hate the idea, or do not realize what is happening, so they can still use the left button too. Probably need to put in a ball save if set to action button only for those that do not understand what to do and watch the ball drain because of it. Or it could be as simple as being able to use either the left flipper button as usual, or get double points if you use the action button. That would be cool.

Quoted from Jediturtle:

Sorry...I didn't explain the idea well. It would simply turn the center button into the left flipper button temporarily. I was not suggesting an actual canon mechanism be used. Just a corny idea...but would be a little extra fun for the smart missile feature.

Quoted from swampfire:

I played about 8 games on the Pro. I had a few scores over 100M, but the rest were well below that. The Stern rep told me that they couldn’t sell the Pros off the floor because there was a mistake in the artwork screening or something. Regardless, it looked great to me.
The ramps are buttery smooth, but not wide. It takes a few games to find the shots. I had trouble finding the tower shot, but I saw my friend hit it 4 times, so it can be done. The only reliable way to get the ball into the pops is a straight shot just past the right of the truck. A weak shot through the spinner will do it, but a stronger shot feeds the ball to the upper flipper. CHAOS multiball is crazy fun. The modes are somewhat basic but fun to play and lucrative. The raptor pit on the Pro is fine to me, the control room lock does the job. I didn’t see many people shooting for that anyway, as it’s a somewhat dangerous shot.
The art on this game is second only to IMDN Premium, which I also hope to own some day. Hiring great artists was a smart move by Stern.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from JodyG:

I can get a game shipped to my home from 3 states away for cheaper than I can buy from you while driving to your location with a stack of cash in hand.

Quoted from Edenecho:

So I have/had the opportunity to get JP pro here in Norway around a week from now, with air freight from Stern through my distributor. Was really contemplating this for the last days. Decided ultimately to hold off, and rather aim for the premium, by different reasons:
I believe the pro is just as fun as the premium, but with air freight the total price would be not too far off from a premium with sea freight (relatively speaking). And my main motivation for buying a pro would be it have it in a week. I thought if I would be that interested if choosing sea freight which would arrive here in around 4 weeks..and then it did not feel that important. So based on that I think I would be buying on the wrong premise.
Also, having an Iron Maiden premium and walkin dead premium, it would be sad no to continue my premium line, also until premium is ready to ship I can try pro and LE and settle on the version based on trying them. But Im sure Ill be happy either way
Just some friday morning rambling from NorwaY!

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Goldblum's turn as a beefcake was a surprise to many. He started his career in nerd/dork roles (The Big Chill), but worked out and got buff for The Fly. That role (Seth Brundle) was still nerdy, but more brilliant/nerdy and, thanks to his sculpted bod', perhaps even "hot." At that time he also married sexpot Gena Davis and suddenly he was equal parts dork and beefcake. Spielberg was probably aware of this arc and chose to give him that scene in JP where he reclines like a pinup on the couch. My hunch is that his story inspires Pinsiders because he's the dork that actually got some play. Lesson: work out, get confident, marry a babe, don't look back.

Quoted from dts:

Maybe, but Goldblum has been married a few times, like Dr. Malcolm:
Dr. Alan Grant : You're married?
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Occasionally. Yeah, I'm always on the lookout for a future ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
Goldblum is one of the best characters in the first movie, with great quotable lines. He is the conscience of the movie: "Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun." He is brilliant, that's what attracts the audience in. But also good looking, so why not. Unfortunately, he is decommissioned half way through from an injury...
Some more quotes:
John Hammond : All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!
Dr. Ian Malcolm : Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.

Quoted from davijc02:

Man if it doesn’t have more use that to pick a control room mode (which you could have done with the flippers) and just possibly launch the smart middle that’s lame as hell and the button shouldn’t have been put in the game.

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

I have similar clear coat mounding at some of the posts on my iron maiden. Not ideal, but no cause to run for the hills IMO. It's a pretty minor thing which no normal person notices. The only people who would even look close enough to inspect for such defects are Pinside lurkers. Everyone else is too busy playing the pin and having a great time.
This is simply another manufacturing defect, like the peeling head decals, which will get sorted out eventually. In the meantime I will contine to fully enjoy all the new titles without freaking out.
P.s. if your pin has some clear coat mounding at the post don't go poking and prodding at it. That can make it chip. The ball can't touch it.
