Quoted from Esoteric_rt:

Has anyone seen them hit the right ramp yet? Want to see how that works

It gets hit at 30:00 and 33:50 but they rattle and don't go all the way to the back. Not a lot of people shooting for it, it looks tight.

#7152 8 years ago

The top rollovers sound effect sounds like the one in the WOZ top rollovers, that sparkly tinkley magic wandy sounding one.

#7153 8 years ago

The constant sound of the horns beeping when the ball is in the pops began to grate on my nerves after a while... really dominates the soundscape

#7154 8 years ago
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

So who wants to buy my starship troopers?

Depending on how much you want, I'm interested.

Aurich, is that you?

Me too... they should change it.

I think no level 2 mode was played in this stream too? Level 1 modes get a little repetitive.
Seems the right ramp must roll halfway up to count as a valid shot.

A good game is all about good long balls and building up the superjackpot value really high, and cashing it in with the 2x, 3x (6x) multipliers combined. Jack did it halfway the stream and then the game got going. Though this will be very difficult because of hard outlanes and the Trudeau gap.

Multiball intro is cool.

The game has a solid code start that's for sure, but it needs some tweaking.

#7157 8 years ago

GB topper in action:

#7158 8 years ago

1 Multiball? Dont think I saw the hysteria one which doesn't appear easy to get to. Needs a third. Other than that, Dots are awesome and the gameplay looked solid so far.

Cool mini game....but it doesn't seem like much of a mini game?

#7160 8 years ago

I can do without that topper

#7161 8 years ago

It looks like its from a police power wheels toy... they totally missed a great opportunity

#7162 8 years ago
Quoted from TaTa:

Too Fisher-Pricey for me.

And they will probably ask 499.00 for it!

#7163 8 years ago

Does the fan come on in a certain mode?

#7164 8 years ago

My main concern is how fast the ball drained on a lot if the games!!!! But then again I have that happen on a lot of games I play for the first time.

#7165 8 years ago

I missed dead flip on twitch. Anywhere else I could see a video ?

#7166 8 years ago
Quoted from fosaisu:

How about this guy?

Favorite preacher by far.

So, any Lethal Weapon or Police Force toppers on eBay?

#7172 8 years ago

The right ramp is a drag on the pro.I hope the right ramp on the LE and Prem has opto's and registers as a shot and is not for show!

I will be playing the Pro @ the Vegas Expo Tommorow and Thursday From 10a-6P.I will just keep getting back in line for the whole 16 hours(2 days worth).

FYI to self.Bring lots of protein bars and glucose tablets!.

I will report back...........

I didn't see anything in the video that makes me want to cancel my Pre-order, so that's good. Also, I'm really digging the sound track.

#7176 8 years ago
Quoted from Zampinator:

I'm really digging the sound track.

Me also. I was worried they might over work the Ray Parker Jr. theme song. - Great erie and supernatural sounds so far.

#7177 8 years ago
Quoted from cornycrunch:

...Unless there is a star

#7178 8 years ago

Music and sound effects were really impressive. Love the call outs from the movie. Looking good so far.

#7179 8 years ago
Quoted from TaTa:

I was really surprised to....plus I doubt they'd show it if it was just a rough prototype.

#7180 8 years ago
Quoted from Mr68:

Me also. I was worried they might over work the Ray Parker Jr. theme song. - Great erie and supernatural sounds so far.

Yeah, the custom tracks they have created are work and blend well with the main track. Overall I'm very impressed.

I don't understand some of the knocks against the topper. Seems like one of the most interactive toppers to date. Personally I prefer it over the KISS, TWD, and GOT toppers which all just replicate things already on the games. KISS is plastered all over the game already and the KISS logo lights up on the left side of the playfield, TWD fish tank is already in the game as a toy, GOT already has a dragon toy so why does it need a second one? The fact that the light bar actually sits on top of the Ecto-1 makes it the perfect topper for a Ghostbusters pin. Combined with the Ecto-1 artwork packages it looks sweet.

#7181 8 years ago

This is the way all toppers look to me.

#7182 8 years ago

The topper looked like a prototype to me.... Pretty sure the final product will look better on the outside. The lighting felt right.

#7183 8 years ago

If anyone has an LE on order that has to bow-out, I would love to take it over. Was too slow on the draw on this one. Send me a message if so!

#7184 8 years ago

I've learned my lesson on toppers.

I have several and only TWD installed.

Maybe if it shot ping pong balls at you when you drain? I dunno, toppers ain't my thing

#7185 8 years ago

I love all the motion in the bash toy. Some people say "Everything you hit in pinball is a bash toy, you hit stuff with the ball!" but this is moving all over place, it really looks like it's getting hit good. And this is just the pro, the premium will move around the playfield too. I don't really like Stern's big action figure bash toys, so this looks like their best one ever to me.

Are you serious? No switch at all?

Is that the same ramp with ecto goggles on the le?

#7187 8 years ago

The Ghost Busters Pro "prototype" gameplay, art, music, and sounds are great so far. Looking forward to seeing the premium features so any worries can be put to rest.

The only great Factory toppers, imo: Wh2O, Whirlwind, Fishtails.
Best aftermarket topper: ACDC train track topper

The youtube link is here.


It's currently uploading, and as the night goes on, more quality options become available.
Thanks for tuning in, I had a blast playing it!!

Agreed. Tried the Twitch archived version but was unwatchable. ...

I forgot Wh20 and I have it. That one kicks ass!

So do the other ones you mention. I have my Acdc topper still in box

TAKE MY MONEY!

#7195 8 years ago

ColorDMD will be able to do wonders with the display.

#7196 8 years ago

Jack, did they mention if the topper was production model or a prototype?

#7197 8 years ago

Got to watch at first Danger. Great job as usual.

Looked like you were drinking a brew but the rest of the stiffs were taking it easy!

Couldn't log in to post or contribute because I can't figure out twitch password. I'll get a donation in at TPF

Quoted from docquest:

I am convinced they lifted that sound effect right from WOZ.
Guess I may have to change that sound with pinball browser. Its nothing against WOZ, just confuses my mind about which game and takes away the mood of GB.

#7199 8 years ago
Quoted from frolic:

Are you serious? No switch at all?
Is that the same ramp with ecto goggles on the le?

Ecto goggles is the right orbit shot on LE and Prem.When a ghost is projected,It will register as a hit.With no ghost projected,It's just a right orbit shot.

The right ramp on pro doesn't register as a right ramp shot (No opto's or gate to register the shot like the left ramp)

On the LE an Prem they had extra room for a real right ramp (due to subway that goes under playfield).It's the one with the sharp right turn with the metal crossover to the left flipper (But I don't see a gate or opto's on that ramp)

So after you hit that ramp,It feeds the left in-lane switch.So the game will not even know the ball came from the right ramp unless the ball passes a opto or gate.And I don't see one?.

#7200 8 years ago

Can someone find out if the proton led plugs behind the drain lanes will or will not make the production... And if they are who's doing this mod lol
