Just a crazy idea but what if the dragon has a magnet that grabs the ball. Then the dragon retracts and drops the ball down a ramp for a 3rd mini playfield exit.

If the pin is true to the show, the ball should be poisoned or stabbed within a few minutes of sitting on the throne.

Being serious, though - it would be cool if you had to defend the throne, and failure to do so caused the ball to get kicked off.

Forgive me, I'm not trying to be a troll but a close up of a kickout? What's next the coin door eject mechanism?

I like ST layout and rules. I didn't think the medals were out of place: you're in battle, and they seem appropriate as military commendations for your service. Plus it's cool when you get a whole series line up for you.

I see this pic on stern facebook. Was POLITICO the project name for GOT?
Seems they're making the pro's first this time...

They always make Pros first, then LE's, then premiums.

Oh man sometimes...ok,I try it again....With this picture I want to point out that the ball that will go over the ramp into the throne doesn't come from the mini playfield like some others here wrote it would. The ball comes from the main playfield. The VUK starts on the mainplayfield and not on the miniplayfield. This picture is a still out of the mini clip and proofs that. You can see the ball right before it goes in the VUK. The ball is on the mainplayfield and not on the miniplayfield. So the people that posted before, that the ball will come from the miniplayfield are wrong! Is that so hard to understand or is my english really as bad as my teachers always said to me?

I thought kiss LE's were made before the pro's...

Nope. Pros hit the line in May, LE's were late June, July. Premium's July forward.

Agree; and QG needs to get over himself once and for all - he down thumbs anyone who mentions the word Star Trek or acronym for that matter. Yea we get it QG, you got in early on ST and out before it was finished. It sucks, but it's your fault; not the people who love the game for what it is now.

As for the topic; GOT quick clips are awesome IMO! Game starts low on the totem pole and just keeps getting better and better with every little update. Call outs look like a plus; sword lock looks great, throne and vuk look awesome. Can't wait to see the rest and a little overall gameplay video

Auf

Maybe they filmed this during a multiball. We'll see.

They even said it on facebook: "The ball comes up "the elevator" from the main playfield and makes its way to the Iron Throne!"
And in the features matrix: "The Wall Elevator brings ball up 2 floors: (1) Upper Playfield, and (2) the Iron Throne"

I heard from a reliable source that premiums won't ship to distributors until Christmas.

Great!.Plenty of time to get the Cab art looking decent!

Also extra time to work on code and get the Premium playfield kinks worked out on the LEs.

Were there playfield kinks to be worked out on ACDC LEs? (With the exception of cloudy lower PF windows.) Don't know what you mean by that...

I was speaking more about TWD. They sent me extra plastics for a ramp that had lots of airballs and a kit to put protective feet on the bicycle girl ramp because it was chewing into the PF.

Cloudy windows on AC/DC are a great example too, though.

So if they are making pro's already, why no gameplay video yet?

They're still trying to figure out where this one screw that fell on the floor goes.

Not sure if this has been answered but I asked this exact question on Sterns FB page and it was deleted....so....

I don't know why people, you especially it seems (you seem to be overly sensitive about ST), care so much or get so worked up about thumbs down? All it means is you disagree with the statement. If you say ST has nice shots I wouldn't thumbs down that because I agree with it. However when you talk about ST code being good, ummm no, I would disagree with that so it would get a thumbs down. Very simple. Nothing personal with the person making the staement, I just don't agree with it.

Now back to GOT. Too bad the art is so bad because it looks like it might be a really nice playing game. But code will tell that story and if it is not being coded by Lyman I don't have a lot of faith in the future of the code.

Star Trek's code is just fine. Needs a little polish, and it's good to go.

Some people seem to be sensitive about talking POSITIVE about Star Trek......

From the feature matrix and what's said on Facebook, I'm going to deduce that the VUK is one coil that fires to either the mini pf (one way to get there) or the throne from the main pf (probably uses the same mech that's in ST LE and Premium on the left saucer - where it either fires it out to the left flipper or rotates in placee to fire up to the left wireform). Second way to get up to the mini pf is the ramp with the drop target in front. Three ways to get off the mini PF: 1. down the wireform drain to the left flipper, 2, and 3. the "DROP OFF LANES" as per the feature matrix, as in you hit the lanes between the standups under the dragon and your ball falls off to the lower main pf orbit! As in SHORT BALL TIMES UP THERE!

That's my theory anyway.

You've obviously never asked Gary a question he didn't want to answer.

Because they don't have a completed game yet.

I was told beginning December, so not to far off.

From Sterns facebook today....

Guess the artwork is going ahead.

What coindoor decal is that in the background of picture #4? In the upper right corner above the yellow "attention" labels?

The answer is a story about vodka.
BTW, I really like the Pro cabinet art.

KISS PREM

Thanks man!

I too like the PRO cabinet art better than LE, but I will go with the LE as it is almost a different game entirely.

Wow. Sly little bastards at Stern updated the side cabinet art, and haven't said a word.

Look at it. The horrible drop shadow/glow around the characters is gone. The black glow around the logo has been reduced to a nice clean keyline. Two easy changes that turn it much more acceptable.

Looks like the stupid logo glow is on the LE still, since the certificates have it, but maybe they were ordered earlier. Still time to make the LE logo not look cheesy, and that would go a long way towards making the hand drawn art better.

Of course the real problem isn't any of that, it's the playfield, and there's no going back there. Still, give them credit for listening at least.

Yeh, doesn't look too bad. Couldn't put my finger on it, but if you say that's why, then that's why. Looking forward to real shots of the left side art.

Love this shot - do they really need a sticker to tell them which side is top???

12011234_10153612889934244_738903810205945134_n.jpg

Also, are the decals shinier than in the past?

Final pro side art looks pretty good IMO.

Maybe the decals are coming off because the installers are handling the decals with bare hands and getting oil on the backside.

They also added a dark fade to the top, which should blend nicely into the black armor.

Yeah, it's hard to see how much else was tweaked or not, since we have funny angles, but that helps the way too blank feel of the sky a lot.

They should tile or epoxy their warehouse floors.

Hmm I have played over a 100 games and this has only happened to me once.....
Is thee a software setting to turn on/off ?
As mine will always pop up to the upper ramp.

Sorry for OT

Yeah, the sideart looks a lot better with the terrible shadow-glows around the characters redone. For those that didn't notice the difference, check out Jaime and Tyrion especially.

I'm glad we all have complained. Stern listened and did something about it. Now people are going to get a better product and it didn't cost them a dime extra. This example and #whereisthethrone both show why even negative feedback is important.

We did see changes in the KISS art from first announcement to production.

I do agree with Aurich though.... the lead time needed to print playfields, clear and cure them... it would make changes impossible since all that has been done already.

I'm just guessing, but I bet the playfield art looks better in person too even if they don't change anything.

I'M IN!!! No chance before until those shadows were gone but now.....

Is it possible that they didn't change a thing? I mean, those were renderings and these are actual photos of the decals being installed onto cabinets. I do agree that this looks better, for sure.
