Never saw TS

What about the judge dredd remake? I really liked it!

Mmmmm

i have a high tolerance for watching bad movies (meaning I can watch a lot and don't give up easy) heck I just watched 'The Canyons' go ahead I dare you to watch that movie.

But John Carter and Lone Rnager are two movies that I quit watching midway thru. I mean I was literally within an hour of finishing both and just were too bad to put in the extra time to finish.

I did like 'Total Recall' but didn't see RC yet.

Dredd was very good and better than the original IMO

I wonder what kind of Minnesota group buy we could get, all of them delivered to a trucking company in MPLS and we show up and take our games home. How many can they fit in a 63ft rig.

Yes great example. Not done well the first time, remake gets it right!

John Carter was good but took forever to get moving. Lone Ranger was a good movie trapped in an overly long one.

So you have just confirmed the game is legit... And coming.

Hahahahahahaha ha, he actually did

As soon as Stern reuses the HH playfield like BarnStorm Games with GB art, I am out...hopefully the are more creative and skilled with the license than that...

We try to keep a healthy relationship with all companies and are in direct contact with the good people at Stern, JJP, Spooky etc. Does this mean we're in bed with any one manufacturer? Hell no. I'm proud about Pinside being an independent forum. I take deleting of any content (especially at the request of a third party) VERY seriously and will only cooperate when I believe it is for the greater good of pinball or for the site.

As was the case here. I think The_Dude's explanation is spot on: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/official-stern-ghostbusters-speculation-thread/page/18#post-2861280 - Removing leaked stuff is a professional courtesy which Pinside *sometimes* extends. I do not want Pinside to be a dump ground for disgruntled ex-employees, drama-seekers or anyone holding grudges against any one pinball manufacturer. Pinside is about enjoying pinball, not about damaging it. So naturally I don't want Pinside be the place for posting leaked content (stolen concept art) either. Please respect this request.

As for Jared. He deactivated his account for his own reasons, not something I'm gonna comment on except that there wasn't anyone from Pinside staff involved in that. He is welcome back on Pinside any time. Keep in mind that you can only re-activate your account 7 days after deactivating it. So Jared won't be able to come back or post before the 23rd. That's how it works and there is no way around it.

Finally then, post #38.... drumroll...

post 38.png

...was a duplicate. We remove dupes all the time for obvious reasons, usually they're caused by bad connections or by a pesky bug which I am yet to fix.

I'm sure Stern is pissed about the leak (if they themselves didn't leak it) but they should also be relieved as its allowing some of us to move pinball funds over to this game. I was about to buy either a nice used game or a NIB Hobbit until GB was basically confirmed. Now I'll be waiting for the full reveal of Ghostbusters before making a final decision.

It seems pretty obvious to me that we were all (including you) pawned by one of these companies that you have extended a professional courtesy to.

I am not quite sure how the 'leaked' ghostbusters photo and its subsequent removal can mean anything but positive things for Stern.

With the previous Pat Lawlor game leak and now this, it appears most of the drama is coming directly from the sources own business and they are playing us all like the fool... I mean we are all talking about GB the past weekend, rather than TH and RZ. No real conspiracy, just how the system works nowadays.

Now that makes sense........Especially when you consider they would be announced at roughly the same time. Stern hears when JJP will announce their third game, Stern drops the GB bomb to limit the damage.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I didn't read much of this thread and I by coincidence downloaded the translite picture from Sterns facebook page not even knowing it has been taken down again.

So, how can an official post by Stern on Sterns official facebook site be a "leak" in the first place???

Yeah it's funny how the lone PR and Pinside voice for Stern "voluntarily" de-activated his account just days before the leak which means that Stern doesn't have to defend against it....is it dumb luck, great intuition, or was he really in on it? In any case it seems to have worked and I would give him a nice Holiday bonus!

I'm a fan of the books John Carter, but I didn't really care for this one at all.

There is another movie Princess of Mars (starring Tracy Lords) can't recall if I liked it much but was better for me, low budget but not as drawn out.

When I watched The Lone Ranger and there was the old Tonto and the flashbacks all I could think of was Why? (I don't even like that in 'The Titanic') but I kept thinking how easy and how much nicer it would have been without that and maybe cut it down to 105 minutes. But even the non flash backs were tedious. I couldn't stand the character of the Lone Ranger.

A better western with Jonny Depp was 'Dead Man'. Certainly not great but was a bit interesting.

What was the Pat Lawlor game leak? Must have missed that one.

yeah me too

It's called dialed In
JJP trademarked the name earlier this year. It's got all kinds of cool crap that will make it the best or worst game ever

More info was posted but I will leave it at that

If they release this at CES I'll try it. Not a huge fan of buying a game unplayed.... But I may have to move some things if this is awesome

Is this the one that is like a cell phone theme or something?

**drops mic**

It's possible that the game might call you on yours phone through an app you can download.... Tell you what shots to make.

I think it's robotics/future based but not clear from info 'leaked'

Well, for one, it could get them in big trouble with the licensor if the artwork was not final/approved.

"We have dealt with the employee that inadvertantly leaked that photo accordingly and have taken measures to ensure this will not happen again"

Pretty standard course of action with these sort of things. You then also point out all of ther positive that came from this 'inadvertant' leak.

I woudl be surprised if there was any real issue with the licensor.

All this conspiracy stuff is hilarious. It's pinball, not the JFK assassination.

What's telling is the folks that quickly jump on that bandwagon, especially those who accuse pinside moderators of being part of some imaginary and nefarious conspiracy. Jesus Christ, go play Tron.

GHOSTBUSTERS could be great. Cant wait for it to release.

You missed nothing if you have any taste in art. Trust me.

Don't trust me? Okay...here it is:

<edited: You have been asked to keep the picture off Pinside a few posts above by two members of Pinside staff. Please follow those requests and don't provide a link to the material directly under such requests.>

I don't like the idea of a pinball calling your phone through an app. Too much overhead for the casual user. It's like gimmicky for the sake of gimmicks.

It's the future!!! JM update should do that

I think they are referring to when it was learned that Pat would do game #3

It's the future my ass, it just someone or some company telling us we NEED it so they can make some money. I for one am not gonna fall for that crap.

Still waiting for the apology.....

The person that posted it had 1 post. Also started talking about how horrible jack is etc.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Hey moderators...

Start your own thread about moderating & stop going OT

In before the lock.

Just to bring this back to an art discussion thread (as all good Pinside threads should be), does anyone find the colours on this translite unusual? Lots of pink/mauve and teal. Not traditional pinball colours (if such a thing exists).

Might be a bit much if it's the same for the cabinet and PF.

Are these colours something to do with the comic?

(hope the image is now pinside safe???)

Translite looks awesome, probably the best Stern has released to date (the real one, not the blurred out one ).

The image I have saved from Aussie Arcade is pretty high resolution and the detail in the drawing is great. It's great Stern are trying something different.

I almost thought I forgot to put my glasses on. LOL

It's much better than photoshopping but I'm afraid the internet has made these pinball artists a bit lazy.

TheRealGhostbustersPinballGame04.jpg

I think it looks refreshing, like it very much. If the playfield is also like that... Could be awesome.

Ha, that composition is quite similar.

I've been hoping since Avengers was released and I think it has been rumoured ever since that time as well. Do all the rumours point to a colour display for Ghostbusters? Will Stern be an unstoppable force once they go colour?

I was speculating that Ghostbusters could be their perfect storm until it was mentioned that Lyman wasn't doing the code. Can theme + original artwork + colour display just push this over the line and be a good game or will it be epic? Will we see John Trudeau shine with a much deserved good theme under his belt?

Also leaked were next few JJP licenses.

+1

What were they?
