Quoted from zr11990:Who gives a shit if some thing that cant decide what sex they are and no one else can tell gets offended or anyone else for that matter.
this is a shameful, transphobic post and anyone who gave it a thumbs up is garbage.
Quoted from PinMonk:I think Dialed In will be a steady seller like WoZ. 2000 is pretty much a given now, and 4000 is possible - on an unlicensed title where the money is in the machine instead of the license.
On the one hand, yeah, JJP can manufacture the thing as long as they want and not have to worry about licensing complications, but on the other hand, it's a title that has to survive on its own cred among pinball fans, rather than riding on the natural marketing waves licensed games get. I mean, in a way, every Avengers movie and big Disney marketing push is basically free worldwide advertising for IM. Dialed In doesn't get that constant promotion and awareness boost; it has to survive on word of mouth alone, pretty much. it will be interesting to see the long-term effects of a modern unlicensed theme. I hope for the best, though, because I think it's a super fun game.
Quoted from PinMonk:This is thinking from the more recent age of licensed-only pins. Medieval Madness and Attack from Mars are all-time greats and best-sellers that have stood the test of time, and they are totally original. I applaud JJP for trying some unlicensed pins in the mix to wean players off the need for recognition to play a game (and if they succeed, higher profits for JJP due to no license fees).
all of this, plus, there's a limited number of themes that work as a measurable net positive for a game long-term. There are a whole lot more licensed themes where after a few years you're like "oh, haha, i vaguely remember that was a movie..." like Demolition Man, Shadow, or Congo than there are Star Wars and Iron Man.
Quoted from SuperPinball:They could have sold much more simply by having a sexy woman instead of a dude stuck in the 90's with his shirt tucked into his pants. I really hope these pinball manufacturers don't cave to the politically correct pressures of recent years and not give us that eye candy that many pinheads like. Well at least Stern is holding out with Luci and Whoa Nellie.
Wow anything that’s not overtly sexist is a product of political correctness? That’s an incredibly misogynistic point of view.
I guess there will always be a segment of this hobby intent on being stuck in the past, no matter how ugly.
Quoted from Eryeal:I think we are a LONG way away from CGC actually writing new game code for games (ie improving). Sure they can squash some original bugs, or make basic changes like lighting, etc. But actual NEW code that adds modes/features to the games? I don't think so. Regardless of how it turns out, can you imagine the backlash from actually changing "classic" games? Sure there are some exceptions out there, such as CCC, but that wasn't done by a pinball manufacturer. I don't think there's any way they risk changing any classic games other than very minor stuff.
According to Rick (yeah, yeah), it would be an option -- you can play in classic mode if you want.
Quoted from CosmoJoe:Right, but then you are not doing remakes. You are doing "re-imagining" or whatever else you want to call it. MMr is still MM, just with new tech. Same with AFMr. If you start changing core gameplay I think that is a bit of a slippery slope. Cactus Canyon I think is the only outlier just because someone put out expanded gameplay and I believe, used some sound files that were in the ROM but never implemented, thus feeding into the whole idea that it was an unfinished game.
Even then, if CGC does a remake of Cactus Canyon (or any other pin) with updated "code" or rules, but doesn't include the original classic gameplay, again, they can't really call it a remake.
As long as there’s an option to play with the classic rules (which would surely be an obvious feature) then what’s the problem?
Quoted from irobot:One thing you can do is continue to revile white heterosexual men, that's the infantile philosophical underpinning of the entire social justice movement.
maybe you shouldn't post about things you are completely ignorant of.
