I saw in another thread there was an art leak?
Or did I misinterpret something?
I see no art for the game anywhere.... but I'm interested!
Quoted from jeffgoldstein2:Would be cool if they can create a 3d hologram ghost with a projector. That would be really cool if they can pull something off like that.
That would be cool.
Its hard to expect that from a company who made Avengers airplanes out of flat sheet plastic though.
Oh man
If this is "hand drawn" old school OG Ghostbusters with an LCD & motherfucking Dan Aykroyd voice work I might just lose my 2016 Roth contribution
If this is a janky half ass Photoshop PF, with hillbilly voice over, a red DMD & a sparse ass playfield with toys made out of printed plexi then maybe I will buy that RBION finally.
Good catch on the raptor thing. Very interesting
I just had a legit video mode idea
The player tries to guess the ESP cards
Wait, someone will make a mod that sends low voltage to the armor
Also...
This whole "leak" of the LCD display, classic theme & now translite art all just seems a little too easy & nicely packaged for "us"
It seems unnatural, based on history, of how shit goes down with a new Stern release.
I think some of my posts have been deleted too
When I check my history all that's left are my worthless posts
No wonder slimer is green!
Khaki sorta makes him look like a nutsack.
Not trying to be all Freudian n such but his head... well, it makes me uncomfortable lol.
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Negative, Ghostrider. Premiums are the first choice for many of us.
He's saying he wants the pro, premium & LE to all be the same game with only cosmetic changes &/or a numbered badge to differentiate each model.
... You know, the way other companies do it. The way Stern did it back in the day with LOTR or SM
I think that's what he said
Quoted from extraballingtmc:That's probably a pic of the new display. It's all black because it's already broken.
No, no, no
Its black because it hasn't yet been coded!
Quoted from visi0n:I know it won't be there but I really want this insult in the game.
Pinball browser!
Would be a great sound byte for tilt warnings or an outlane switch
No LCD?
Weak AF
I don't want to be the asshole who buys the last ever DMD title. I truly believe LCD will make the DMD look like Alpha Numeric.
Quoted from cosmokramer:there are still great alpha numeric games out there...you dont have to dislike a cool pin when something better comes along
Yes there are some cool alpha numeric games I agree.
But I wouldn't want to buy $7000 alpha numeric games right before the DMD was introduced.
That's sorta where pinball is at right now IMO
On a side note...
GB will be the new KISS in a year
Threads full of idiots who knew better but still bought an incomplete game.
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Or it could be more GOT, with solid code at launch.
That would be a nice surprise I'd certainly welcome.
I recall people saying "Avengers is the most software complete launch game to date & Stern must be really turning a new leaf" or something like that
Anyway I'm stoked to see GB. Hopefully they run a premium with an LCD & complete code
Lmfao!
Quoted from Ed209:I'm all for sharing an opinion but calling others "idiots" for having an opposite view adds nothing to this conversation or this community. These type of posts will always get my downvote.
If you knowingly buy an incomplete game
Then run to the forum to complain it's incomplete
That's the behavior of an idiot
Some of my best friends are idiots, I play the part too sometimes.
However... If you buy the incomplete game & never complain it's incomplete you are not an idiot.
I hope I didn't upset you again
Quoted from vdojaq:If you bought an incomplete game with the "promise" it will be completed and never say anything to the company that made the promise, you are an idiot.
Pinside isn't how you "speak to the company".
You pick up the phone like a mature consumer & then send follow up emails to the company. You can REALLY speak to them with your wallet too.
Or people can just bitch about it here for 2 years & thumbs down me for calling them out on it. Clarification: This isn't about me vs you.
I really look FW to GB. For real. Even my wife wants it & she's a total pinball hater lol.
Everyone who has a deposit in now better keep their mouth shut in 18 mos about dead inserts & missing animations or modes.
Sorry for the negativity/reality. Back to the cool shit about this new title!
Quoted from iceman44:Since they monitor these threads closely I'd say it's one way Curly
I'm sure some of the "whiny little bitch" crowd are ignored though
There is so much back/forth arguing, OT comments & redundancy it would take the patience of a fucking saint for a professional to extract useful market research from Pinside.
That's why I like it here so much tho lol
I bought the Time Traveler DVD with the intent of playing it on my MAME arcade
One of these days I will get around to it.
Quoted from BillySastard:Yeah it was. But pretty much everyone blew it off thinking that it was BS. I know I did.
This is why I don't accept investment advice on Pinside
Quoted from lordloss:Who is going to raise the stakes and leak some JJP goodies?
No need
JJP leaks their own game pics
For years...
And years...
And years...
Quoted from flynnibus:The next game should be done much sooner.
Why does that sound familiar?
Quoted from mnpinball:Right scoop is now gone, right upper ramp slightly moved up, slings are now standard with kicker arms. The magnet rumor can now be squashed.
No LCD
Magnets removed
Right scoop deleted
Toys are now flat sheets of printed plastic
This thread sucks now lol
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:We all need to get over the fact that Ghostbusters probably wont have an LCD
No
Might as well buy Ghostbusters at a steep discount 3 years from now when code is finally complete & all the new Stern LCD games make this DMD title look dated.
It's time for LCD. This DMD shit is so lame after seeing TH animations... I'm totally not a JJP fanboy & no WOZ or TH will ever see my basement but fuuuck neither will an $8000 DMD!!!!
Well I'm retracting my cash & all Stern gets is Deez M'r F'n Nutz lol
PS... I still love my Stern games & wish Stern the best. But jeez LCD it up already
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Oh, I was disappointed too. Almost made me skip the game. But if everything else about it is great, and it has great dots, then I'm in. I'll add the ColorDMD later.
So now it's $1000 more for colorized mushy dots
I mean $500 increase to Stern rumored plus $400 or so to color dmd folks.
That's like damn near $6000 for a pro right?
No thanks. That's just too much money for too little cool
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Where are you getting that from? No one knows what the price is going to be.
Someone speculated it in this speculation thread
Quoted from ezeltmann:Guess being on topic isn't a thing that is moderated anymore.
The "on topic" posts/members were all moderated/ejected.
Religion, politics & feminism is the only way to stay in this thread.
I got ejected for my Canada comment
Don't worry tho, I'm back to upset everyone.
I hope Stern decides to ditch the premium, raise the price of the pro by $500, use red DMD's, hire TWD redneck to do the voice work, use photoshop art of the reboot movie and never finish the code.
Sweet
PS... WWE & KISS are awesome right now. You guys should totally preorder GB before playing it.
Quoted from vid1900:But does that add even a single dollar to the coinbox at the end of the week?
The number one earning game in the nation right now is WNBJM:whoanellie02_(resized).jpg
If a game had both LCD & giant titties it would earn even more
Quoted from centerflank:I completely agree the LCD display with sweet graphics looks great, even the color DMD replacements are an awesome upgrade......
If stern starts charging 5.9k or whatever for street price for a pro, you happy with that?
What if they keep the pro with dot matrix displays but premium/LE come with the LCD, they are surely going to be 7k plus for premium.....maybe I'm wrong on price point and that would be a good thing.
Is TBL really 10k street price? Ouch!
$10K for TBL is too much IMO but look @ all the material used on TBL vs say MET
It's been said before the LCD costs less than a DMD & they can just use the dots folks to make the clips so if anything price should drop.
Quoted from centerflank:Display wise I dunno but as far as playfield fun Metallica knocks TBL dick in the dirt.
MET is dope no doubt
I've yet to even see TBL but it looks super legit
Man, I think I just need both!
If it's DMD I may take my new pin money + sell my 3 pins & then pay cash for a Polaris Slingshot to put in my garage.
Might even get a Predator motorcycle helmet as a nod to my former hobby & how stupid it's become.
I'm so F'n serious
It's crazy to me that 3 Stern NIB Premiums = 1 paid off brand new Batmobile
But an LCD might keep me stupid long enough to buy another machine I speculate
Quoted from robotron:^^^^^and they got an LE model to bat!
With complete code & no peeling decals!
Slingshots appear to hold their value quite well.
Better than Avengers LE
Who cares about resale & DMD's?
Ted bro you gonna get one? If so get plates that say C1GAR
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:What do you mean "you people"?
"I didn't mean it like that"
"I've got lots of pinball friends"
"Some of my best friends are actually pinballers"
Quoted from txstargazer3:Trudeau did the design and Zombie Yeti did the art. Who did code?
You can't talk about code yet.
It will be at least 4 years before all the inserts work
If the ghost projection is dope then I'd have to go Premium.
If the ghost is lame I'd go Pro
No matter what I'm not buying shit until code is done. While I'm in "bitch mode" let me say I'm annoyed it's DMD... will have to wait to see what's next before making any commitments.
Regardless the game looks fantastic. Well done Stern. Hoe Lee Shit it is such a well implementation of the GB theme. Can't wait to hear music & call outs.
My wife & daughter are on board with this title too. My kid is 2 years old so that was an easy conversation lol. My wife is 34 so Zombie Yeti & Sterns licensing dept get credit for closing that deal. She was a fashion major & GB nerd so art, style & GB nostalgia made her say "get that machine".
Edit: she's 33 for another month. I'm sure her eye twitched when I typed 34
GB has me so hyped up I'm looking @ pinside on my theater screen & replying on my phone lol
So the peppers ghost thing looks like a small LCD is pointed down or at an angle while house in the black rectangle lamp shade thing with a CAT5 connector on the back & it shines down on the clear puck underneath it...
So does the ghost appear above the clear disc or under it? Or onto the PF glass?
Quoted from arcademojo:120" You compensating for something?
Yeah, motion sickness... 180" is a guaranteed pukefest
Wait a minute. Your comment relates to my Slingshot & slimmer reference
Clever!
I was gonna buy a BGE
But they're stuck in the 80's as a company.
Price setting & distros... no thanks. They ended up with $0 of my money. I don't want to cold call a short list of distro's like a telemarketer with paper leads in 1987.
This ain't Glen Gary Glen Ross motherfucker. Put that coffee down!
Meanwhile Kamado Joe is killing the BGE market share. Killing it!
Stern is almost as inconvenient as BGE already. Add in fixed pricing & there it is
Damn, I want brisket & a new pinball machine for lunch now
Quoted from TBatti:Deleted post
Lol yeah I can see why you'd think that.
But after a few years on Pinside everyone already knows what everyone has so humblebrags are pointless.
It really was a "I'm such a dork I'm examining inserts on a big screen" post
Ya duplicate posting doofus
Quoted from Sparky:In all these posts, I've only seen one person mention this. Everyone's ok with this?
GB_Apron_(resized).jpg
I think it's funny & I like funny. Plus it's relates to the other side of the apron
Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:Canceling my premium order. I no longer can look at the machine thanks to my wrong judgment to point out my trypophobia disorder that was asking a question if anyone else felt this way about the melting marshmallow. Of course it was candy for idiot trolls.... I simply forgot pinside is full of pieces of shit. Anyone that thinks trypophobia is not a real thing is a "nute". The game will always remind me of the eye... trypophobia eye... that person posted the end of my GB excitement. good bye.
Your problem isn't Pinside, GB or this thread.
Fix your shit & come back later. Learn some private coping mechanisms like other people do. If you can't do that learn to overcome/avoid triggers.
That's how former cocaine addicts survive... if a crackhead can do it you can too
Quoted from kpg:Im going to imagine what else I could do with $7K, versus buying a toy, as you suggested:
1) Purchase a weekends worth of cocaine
2) One weekend with a high end hooker
3) 7 day vacation at a 4 star resort in Maui
4) Invest in real estate by purchasing a beautiful home in Flint, Michigan for a great price
5) Buy a 2003 Honda Civic with 175,000 miles so I can ghost ride it off a cliff, while recording it, so I can score YouTube traffic
6) Go to Vegas and bet $7K on black, because Wesley Snipes suggested to always bet on black. Take potential earnings, do not pay taxes on them, and go to Federal Prison
7) Spend $7,000 on a degree to become a Financial Advisor at Trump University so I can give my great financial advice to friends, family, and people on Pinside.
As you can see, for someone like me- $7K is definitely best spent on a pinball machine.
$7000 buys a quarter key
Thats 8.8 oz
You'd die after the first 0.5 oz (4x 8-balls)... Likely while talking 100 mph about GBLE @ 7am
I put a deposit down on a WWE LE
Back out later on due to Stern's history of shit code.
Later on when I heard the aprons were autographed with dry erase markers & the code was still slop I was so glad I bailed.
Lost $0
Saved thousands
Quoted from InfiniteLives:Ghost busters is effing amazzing. Just played my second game and dropped this bad boy at TPF IMG_20160320_101057_(resized).jpg
Must have ate some Colorado space cookies before that game...
Ever been so perfectly intoxicated that you're not sure if you are experiencing Matrix "Bullet time" or telekinesis?
You guys ever feel like we're all a bunch of babbling dweebs obsessing over shit that has to make Stern laugh?
Quoted from NY2Colorado:does anyone know if the license includes the Bobby Brown jam from GB2?
License?
We don't need no stinking license
Stern doesn't have to make a Premium/LE video
They already sold out all of their LE's & who knows how many premiums
Quoted from CobraClutch:Isn't this like a silver dollar sized image we are going to see? While I really like the idea and can't wait to see it in action, I am struggling to see such a tiny animation bring the whole machine to life. If anything ZY already did that.
Good point
It disappointing the hologram is so F'n small
No matter how good/bad the slings/ramps are on the Premium/pro...
The next game will have an LCD according to Stern
Quoted from kpg:all LE's are sold out, just like the Rift's.. I guarantee it will still be worth $8K....
I wholeheartedly believe most DMD games will begin a slow decline in value in a few years.
Not trying to pile more arguments on you or say it's pinflation or prices that's about to "burst the bubble"
I just think Stern is really starting to innovate & more dope shit is on the way PLUS the LCD screen.
Example: Why would I buy an XM pro when GB pro is so tit?
I wouldn't
Quoted from kpg:I just know that a Filet is a better cut though
Filet is a woman's steak. Might as well be a vegan...
Ribeye covered in butter & blood is a man's steak
Make it a tomahawk Ribeye with side of bone marrow toast & you become one of the chosen
No truer shit will be said in this thread
Quoted from kpg:Same here, i'd rather eat woman's meat... then the meat of a man like what PW79 is into
I believe that's called skirt steak
Quoted from CaptainNeo:Most of you sell off your games in a year or 2 anyway?
I am only buying keepers from now on
Why?
Because pinball people are weird & I don't want to buy/sell/interact with em
Plus I'm fat & almost 40 so moving a game every few months is too much like working out & dieting.
Anyway I like LED's, powder coat & some toppers. But dolls n static toys are not my cup of tea. I own games with factory dolls on them & it annoys me. The only reason I don't have avatar is because there's a fucking GI Joe in it that I cannot resolve. Which sucks because I want an Avatar actually.
Due to production delays if ordering a Premium today do you pay in full now or make a deposit today then pay the balance when it's about to ship?
I don't want to part with almost $7,000 nearly 3 mos ahead of my shipment date.
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:That's what I'm talking about. I don't see the objects that Slimer "brushes" at that speed to be a cause for concern. The Slimer toy will suffer a lot more damage from a steel ball at 5 MPH before anything else gets damaged.
You are becoming the WOZ Panzer of GBLE
Chill mang
PS Panzer don't read this post
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Sorry, LE/Premium Slimer is superior, in cost, complexity, and effect.
Yeah but the BBH pro deer is superior to both Slimers
Wait... does the machine do something @ midnight lol?
Can u set the time on Spike games?
Am I asking silly questions?
Remember that cop show "Hunter" from the 80's?
I dont want to brag but I drive a Honda Element
That makes me an authority on all kinds of shit
PM me for advice any time guys
Quoted from bigd1979:W.t.f happen to the ghost busters thread?
Its based on the reboot instead of that horrible GB2 sequal (gotcha Kirk), its narrated by Dan Akroyd, packed with proton beams & Stern's first ever LCD.
With 10x's the innovation!!!!!!
Dont buy GB with hopes Stern programs the slings, slimer & goggles
Look @ past Stern code history & bend over the F over early adopters
Quoted from Flato:When I think of JT as the designer I attribute the overall layout to him shots, angles, geometry, but I doubt he actually engineered the slimer mech or told Stern to put to thin of a wire in captive ball area or the exact height the outlanes need to be just like I won't blame JT for . ghosting inserts.
George Gomez & Gary Stern may be the culprits
Aaand the competition unable to ship anything significant enough to change Stern
Quoted from jar155:Why are people acting like GB is out there with bad code? It has pretty solid code already that will definitely see some continued refinement, but I don't know what the heck you guys are looking for if this is considered bad code to you.
Maybe the magnet sling hype
Swore I heard the slings were supposed act like normal slings plus be able to hold the ball & pass it back/forth to play keep away
Maybe it's been said
Maybe I said it
Maybe it came to me in a dream
Are the metal inlanes low due to the removed proton beam feature ?
Quoted from kpg:.. unless it's a JJP machine !
JJP games take so long to ship they're old by the time they're "new"
It's getting weird in here...
Maybe Stern's PF resolution is to just turn us all against each other as a distraction
I read somewhere the flippers change back/forth when a captive ball is hit.
I can see that sucking tho
Quoted from Manimal:Zip-ties will fix that! lol
I remember like 10 years ago a guy on Mr pinball had a TSPP listed FS & the pics he sent me had the outlanes zip tied shut.
He's probably reading my reply right now in shame lol
GB2 was a shit movie & Trent is the biggest F'n distro to ever walk the earth.
Anyone strongly disagree? Anyone butt-hurt OK?
Quoted from delt31:wow - some strong statements there. I'm down with Trent (ordered from him). GB2 is not a shit movie though. Not great but def good. I recently watched it and it has such 80s charm. Statue of liberty with the NES controller? cmon man. You have to love it!
I like the movie & I've never interacted w/Trent.
It's a long story, 342 pages so far, but I was jokingly & obvious to him, smoking out Kirk (not in the roll up the windows & listen to a Total Devestaion CD kind of smoke out)
Actually I have no ill feelings towards Kirk. I don't think any of us do. He just got ejected & prolly created a new account.
Honestly I question the motive & authenticity of everyone these days with a ">1 yr" next to them.
So that means I think you're an imposter too. It's all good tho.
Quoted from scooter75:rarehero Is your playfield cracked above your ball guide in your photo or is that just a piece of something? Sorry to be nosey, just curious if it was related to playfield issues.
I'd bet that happened from someone raising the metal guides.
