Stern, 2016Quoted from Deaconblooze:Ugh, I think that's right... I'll be disappointed if the announcement today is "It's ghostbusters!", then we have to wait several more days to see anything we don't already know.
"It's ghostbusters! Wait for the full reveal on the convention next week!"?! - I think I'd run amok.
Quoted from kpg:How disappointing would it be their reveal is just an image of the ad that has already been shown, with a "Stay Tuned for more info" caption?
Stern learned the hard way with the Game of Thrones reveal. Imagine if they released a great gameplay video and strategy guide on reveal day instead of the renderings...
Quoted from dmbjunky:I think the late 70s was the "hay-day era." From 90-93 there were 10 machines that sold over the 10,000 mark. If you want to figure a similar 3 year span in the 70s, from 77- 80 there were 20 machines and if you want to expand the years consecutively from 75-80 27 machines made it over 10,000 sold. I also counted 65 pinball games mass produced in the U.S. from 90-93. In 77-80 there were so many machines I lost count, around 200. I'm a sucker for stats and thought this was interesting.
Isn't 90-93 a 4 year span?
But interesting nonetheless you say 65 pins in that 3-4 year period, like a new one every 2-3 weeks.
And here's JJP taking 3-4 years to ship a pin.

Not sure it would make a difference considering the number of pre-announcement buyers who care more about theme than game.
Visually it does not look very appealing. Green is awful and too much cartoon feel to it. Like to see the features and see how it plays in person.
Looks great. Thank God the LE just has the green armor and no additional bells and whistles that I can see as far as lighting or playfield stuff. Translight art looks great across the board. My wallet just saved a huge chunk and now I can wait a bit before I jump on a premium. Woohoo!
Holy crap this looks good!
But the coolest thing the LE and Premium versions have is something you won’t see in the images or teaser: An interactive holographic projection of famous ghosts to battle. Dankberg describes this feature saying, “We call them the Ecto Goggles, and when peering through the Ecto goggles, you'll be able to shoot various ghosts who are not really there.” Using a reflection trick and an LCD screen, The Librarian, Slimer, and the Scoleri Brothers appear hovering on the playfield. Dankberg continues, “There [is] a sensor switch there that will note you went to it, and it'll change where you hit it and explore or splat or whatever it might be. So, we've put a ghost into a Ghostbusters machine.”
Man it looks so awesome! Everything I could have ever hoped for with this theme!
Cannot wait to see this in person and play it!!
Is the ecto-1 cabinet the pro? I am looking for differences between the two.... Anyone have any insight? Because I am in Canada the cost difference for a pro and premium is about 3k plus another 450 in taxes. If the pro is similar enough I will likely land there.

Pro and premium have ecto-1. They are different themed but similar with ecto-1.
Quoted from KingNine:Video shows color on the dmd! Yay!
Don't think so - video shows color on the animations, not on the DMD. Sterns always creates the animations in color first. I saw nothing in the video that showed color on the actual DMD itself.
Hand drawn art looks fantastic, 3d modeled buildings on the Premium/LE, tons of cool looking toys and shots. Best first impression I have ever gotten from a Stern reveal. An LCD would've knocked it out of the park. Hope it plays as good as it looks.

Well that sucks. Your probably right
Wow, I really like the art and layout. I can't freaking wait to play this game and see if it's worth buying!!!
The game looks great. I'll have to look at it closer but the Pro doesn't look all that gimped compared to previous offerings from Stern. All packages are beautiful. The only think I'm puzzled about is the right ramp on the Pro. Looks like the ball goes up the ramp and just smacks that striker plate dead on. There doesn't look to be any flow there. Looks clunky and even with the metal guard, this looks like a high damage area.
