I agree. No way premiums go out unless problem is identified and permanent fix is implemented.

Is anyone working on a mod to replace the Firehouse with a more detailed 3D version (like the library on the LE)?

+1

+2

MezelMods is working on a 3D firehouse and library for the pros.

I think it would have been nice if they included the theme song from the second movie since the game covers both films. Was a pretty popular tune at the time.

I guess this is something that could be added somewhere with the browser.

A "little" big for the pf isn't it.

That's what she said...

@oldpinguy (and others moders)

on the power board, we have a free connector delivering 12V...

can we use it to directly connect this kind of sound-led-lighting ?

Nice...Ill have to look into tapping this as well.

I hope to run the flashers over the next couple days and see how this relates as well.

I am not anticipating any issues....but surprised and grateful you found this! Thanks!

Maybe Licensing issues or costs?
Who else is missing? Thompson Twins, Laura Branigan, Air Supply from 1.
Bobby Brown, Elton John Glen Frey from 2.
There's several others too.
What is the actual full list of music in the game? Anyone done a list?

Is Savin' The Day in it?
That seems like it would be a pretty cool tune for a mode.

I seems some of the music in the modes is "inspired" by the equivalent song from the movie. "We Got One" sounds similar to "Cleaning Up The Town" and there is a similar "Saving The Day" inspired track later.

I'll be adding Bobby Brown's "Own Our Own" with Pinball Browser, probably replacing Parker's song when the game is over. Parker's instrumental version is already played during the game, so it's represented plenty already.

The Bobby brown song was the one is was referring to in the second movie. Not a bad song and was a big hit at the time. If you add this post of video, I'd like to see how it sounds and how you edit it.

Yes that would be a pretty good place for the Bobby track. With lyrics, or instrumental version?
Prob with lyrics after the game I reckon. Instrumental if you were using it in game during some manic multiball wizard Mode would be good.

I want to use the version that was in the music video. It starts out differently, with some beats and cuts right into the rap. I think the beats will line up nicely with the flashing lights that kick off after the end of the game.

Some distros have been saying they are on the line this week. Pics or it didn't happen, though - right?

for those talking about music, another reminder as i think my previous post about this was not really seen...

yep
lets wait what you can do than

Good find, just watched it, should definitely be in the game!

When are the premiums going to be hitting the distributors, one tells me August maybe mid sept another tells me nov/dec. any ideas?

They're coming as fast as the clear can fall off the wood!

Funny

GoING to be later then sooner not even sure I am going to get my LE in august

This is fantastic! Would be great at the end of the game!

Remember, we can't change the length of time that our custom audio plays. It currently runs at around 30 seconds or so at the end of the game....so that's all the longer any custom audio we put in is going to run.

30 seconds isn't long enough to do the song on our own.

Where would this song fit and how would one use the version that was posted from YouTube yesterday, the edited music video version.

Yeah, never said I was putting in the whole song. It will just be a clip, like Parker's clip at the end of a game.

30ish seconds gets the intro beats and the rap.

If that gets old, I'll have a 2nd clip from the chorus I can swap it out with.

I haven't looked into the code, is it really only 30 seconds?

I think it could potentially work in the game as well.

After 30 days , still no play field issues. Hope they find whatever caused others to fail.

Someone with the game can chime in. When "Ghostbusters" starts playing after the last ball has drained (the clip that includes Ray Parker Jr singing), approx how long does it play before going into attract mode?

Looks like to get the rap from that video version it either has to be from the beginning or it is in there again at 2:54 and goes right into chorus which may sound better.

Dupe

Got the call about 12hrs ago GBLE is shipping out tommrow had heard rumors of another delay but I guess that is not the case. Can't wait despite the chance of PF defects.

Yeah....I will experiment. If I'm going to use a section from the mid-part, I'd pull from by high quality AAC file. I'd only use the music video rip from YouTube to get its different intro....I just think those few beats at the beginning will look good with the lights flashing.

But I won't know until I try, and to try I need my Premium to ship!

Thinking about it, I'd have it going straight into the chorus I reckon. There's too much 'tension' in the rap for a game end sequence, whereas the chorus has a more relaxed and natural post game feel like the existing Ghostbusters 'outro' they use.
Just like a you would in a song, repeat chorus to fade.

The outro chorus with the 'gotta, gotta' bit in between the usual lyrics..

Same here, have a premium on order as well.

Keep me posted with what you come up with because that song has got to be in there.

I think they do play the chorus as the outro in ghostbusters II

I would guess 15-25 seconds

I put the code in the browser and I think the shortest snippet of Ray Parker is 34s and change, I'm assuming that is last ball drain. It is in the code an awful lot. If it doesn't work at the end I think there maybe another good spot in the game but would need to determine where all the requests for the Ray Parker song are in the game. Looks like that song could get very repetitive!

Added the "Dancing Toaster" mod from GBII movie tonight. I bought mine from Hobby Lobby, but you can also get at Amazon/Etsy and other places

For all its issues, the more I play this game the more I like it. It's a really fun layout with the best all round theme integration from any recent Stern. Yetis art is one of pinballs best, and Trudeau's layout is unique with really satisfying shots and just enough difficulty for long term play.

Obviously the real shame is that quality issues and lack of management communication have totally overshadowed the launch of a great game. I know the issues will be sorted out eventually, but at what cost to Sterns goodwill?

I feel sorry for Trudeau and Yeti.

JT and Yeti will get over it. I feel sorry for all the people that have received faulty merchandise. It really is a shame. Especially for the early LE adopters. It's not like they can build more of them to replace the faulty ones, the only thing they can do is ship replacement parts and who wants that? They cant expect people to change all the hardware on the playfield themselves surely?!
I really want a Prem, but I can wait until they finally get all the issues ironed out.
GB could and should have been Stern's TAF, but at the moment they are blowing their chance of that big time it seems.

I'm sure we'll get over it also. Stern will make good eventually.

But Trudeau finally gets a great theme, probably best since Creech, nails it, and now the only thing anyone's talking about is ghosted inserts and Slimer's ass.

Likewise for Yeti. His first foray into pinball was with Papaduik and he gets screwed. He finally gets the dream theme with Stern, nails it, and all anyone is talking about is airballs and mismatched side rails.

LMAO! I come to this thread to avoid all the issues discussed on the others threads. I have a Pro, it looks good, plays great, and I'm ready to hear about game play, mods, LED configurations, etc... Let's try to keep at least one thread free from discussing the issues as there are plenty of those (for good reason I may add). So, what have you? Tell me something I have yet to hear about GB?

I have a new side rail in the mail.

I contacted my distributor and within 24 hrs, Stern drop-shipped it.
