how close was that translite?

<unreleased art removed>

#2892 8 years ago
Quoted from kvan99:

...
One bit of criticism, the whole middle of the game is brick shot city.

gotta replace the bash toy with something else.

#2898 8 years ago
Quoted from ChrisS:

Actually I thought the Left obit and the Right short return ramp look like super tight shots. The kind that will rattle around in the entrances and then dribble back at you.
I think its a cool layout through.
3 VUK's and a subway.
Captive ball like family guy.
I'm interested to hear more about the slings. I know there was talk of magnets under there. Could be really interesting with how the ball will react off of them if there is a mag under the playfield. I see a lot of balls slamming right down the center.

i'm curious to see how many things they will remove on the pro.

i get home and i see 600 new post in 24 hours
i knew something was going on and man what a great surprise!

they all look good.
even the pro look amazing, i'm surprised they didn't removed more stuff. they all have the same lighting.
not sure about the magnet slings, how wild the ball will be, not sure about controlling the ball.

the pro is missing a few features but so many possibilities with mods that i'm already thinking about a few.

the ecto goggles seems to be a nice feature on premium/le.

i'm definitely in, now ''who i'm gonna call?'' distributor.

#6350 8 years ago
Quoted from frolic:

Oh man, not sure I can handle the Ghostbusters theme forever like that. I knew it was coming.

i'm thinking the same thing, the song will get old pretty fast. in my case about 1 minute.

#6373 8 years ago
Quoted from Rick432:

So at 4:21 on that video, I see right sling kicking and it looks like a conventional slingshot. No magnet? Or am I confused about the location of magnetic slings?

that's the pro in the video.

#6734 8 years ago

man i wish i could get a premium, but up here a premium will cost around 9k

so, i'll go with a pro and it's going to give me a good excuse to mod the hell out of it.

#6745 8 years ago
Quoted from Hazoff:

Please let me know where one can be had for 9K, from what I can see it will be more like 11k with taxes.

yeah, you are right, 9k + taxes. and .... and starburst.

imagine LE

#6778 8 years ago
Quoted from Rob_G:

I'm not sure I am a fan of this by the way it sounds.
Rob

not sure either. video should be out in 2 days.

#7231 8 years ago

machine looks great no doubt, but that ghostbuster theme song might get old pretty damn fast.
still not sure about that right ramp the way it works, gonna have to play it first before i make a final decision.

sorry but topper looks cheesy.

#7251 8 years ago
Quoted from jwo825:

I thought it looked great with the exception of that right ramp shot. Looked kind of like an orbit shot that goes halfway only to slowly roll back down. Totally kills the flow and point of the ramp as it doesn't even register as a shot and that's lame. I'd prefer to see it come down the left entrance in this case. That alone is a strong case for the Premium/LE model.

i agree, that right ramp is almost useless, it kills the rhythm of the game.
there is no ball return to the left flipper, i'd take the premium/le ramps over the fire station.

another thing, the 2 inlanes on each side of the flippers are bare metal lane guide, no rubber post to try to nudge/control the ball.

#7555 8 years ago
Quoted from Ed209:

More gameplay video. This is over the shoulder instead of straight down which shows the slimmer toy functionality a bit clearer.
» YouTube video

best video yet, good player too.

#7956 8 years ago
Quoted from PanzerFreak:

That looks nice! Great job. Hmmm. I wonder what it would with all white armor, except for the side rails powder coated red (match the red fins on the Ecto-1) and have the coin door chrome plated to represent the grill of the car. Combine it with the light bar topper and there's the Ecto-1 LE!

i will also add this version to my ecto-1 coin door magnet license plate.

Quoted from jeffsgames:

i just ordered a cool keychain for mine when it comes in! $3 shipped from China. SHOULD beat the Premium release.

yep, i ordered one about a month ago, should be here this week.

#8442 8 years ago
Quoted from Pinhead1982:

I've got one of these comming, will make a cool topper I think

image_(resized).jpeg

at a fraction of the price.

*sorry but that police light topper looks cheesy. at least, make it like the original if you have to make one... the blue cover is missing the lower part. middle silver part is too large, spotlight housing is supposed to be chrome... only $500*

#8524 8 years ago
Quoted from Mando:

The topper looked good
To me in person . If they would jazz it up just a bit to look a little more metallic and less plastic would be a winner for sure . The lights are done with LEDs at least on this one.
» YouTube video

if that's the final version = bad, no details, no chrome, scale is wrong. no where close to $500, not even $200

#8535 8 years ago
Quoted from Rokablly:

As a newbie to Pinside and pinball in general; does Stern actually read and take into account all these concerns, comments, and suggestions to make improvements to a game that is already in production?
I've read a lot of good ones and have ordered the GB Premium so I'm curious if Stern even cares at this point.

if it's good for their pocket, ye$.

Quoted from tacshose:

Stern is on crack if they think LE buyers are going to buy this crap

i think they are.

#9307 8 years ago
Quoted from kapsreiter:

cant find the grills for GB just RGB kit

maybe stern went crazy on him also because of the licensed logo or slimer.

#9487 8 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

Pretty sure its already happening. I believe Mezel has said he is working with Stern on it.

that wouldn't be hard to do, i'm sure tim was already thinking of something.

#9500 8 years ago

i'm curious how will the magnetized balls will react in the rest of the game?

no doubt, the balls will go wild near the slingshots (can we call it slingshots now?) without touching it.
not sure it's a good thing if you want control on the ball. let's say the ball is coming back down from the orbit passing right in front of the sling (like every other games), if it's on all the time or triggered because it's close to the the slings, bye bye ball.

just as curious as anybody else, can't wait to see how it will plays.

#9711 8 years ago
Quoted from Propaganda:

image_(resized).jpeg

i'm looking at this picture, is this how it's supposed to be, a round piece of glass on a metal ring with 4 visible screws, really?
finishing touch on this is pretty bad if it's final, at least put a plastic ring/cover.

it's a simple reflection of an image, like pinball 2000.

#9782 8 years ago
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:

....Time to move on to Slimer and how he will behave on the Premium/LE.

and how will he looks like after a 1000 hits.

#10231 8 years ago
Quoted from PW79:

...
The next game will have an LCD according to Stern

great news if true, i might pass on this GB and wait for the next one.

#10381 8 years ago

there is absolutely no way, no matter what they do to the code that those magnet will be close to a real slingshots.

the effect i saw in the video (ghost effect) fit the game very well.
magnets in games is nothing new. innovation is a good thing, not sure i like magnet as a new way to imitate slings and that close to the flippers.

#10552 8 years ago
Quoted from Macdaddy1974:

Stern has
Ghostbusters Pinball Plastic Protectors
on there site for sale

that's good, only $30 for 2 pieces of plastic.

#10639 8 years ago

i doubt they put more clear on the pro/premium.

Quoted from kermit24:

Regarding plastic protectors, I bought the GoT (sling and return lane) colored protectors from Pinball Life for $24.95. I believe Joe @ Laseriffic made the the Pinball Life and Stern ones. So I guess we are seeing a $5 Stern mark up. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

GOT plastic protectors included 4 pieces, GB 2 pieces.
