Yep. I got it wrong too.

C'mon Gary. Pity we didn't get that Christmas present. But we understand your team needs to get it right first. How about an Easter present?

stop calling for Gary ! do you really think he cares about tweaking codes of this or that pinball !?

Dwight is the guy, and he said, long ago, that GB code was done
but OK, hope is hope, we (well, you, as i sold my GB) never know

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

yep, could be, that was the key point, IF he have some free time to spend on GB

GB is not done. Stern has said for the last few "Stern of the Union" addresses that GB is getting another update.

#10 6 years ago

Hopefully this year.

#11 6 years ago

What exactly do you guys feel needs changing? Just curious..

STERN has said

An actual final Wizard Mode that is complete. We Are Ready to Believe You is not complete as far as scoring and what not. I have not been able to get to that point yet but from the good players that do, they say it is very weak. They need to incorporate the Librarian insert somehow. Its there on the playfield but does not do anything. They need to balance/change the video modes. Don't cross the streams is very unbalanced and makes it a pain when this game is in tournaments. Everyone just picks that as the skill shot and its just people playing a video game. Gets very boring. They need to remove it as a skill shot and keep it as a goal of collecting ghosts like they have. The other video mode is worthless and there is no reason to pick it. Other then that I have no issues with it. I love the game! Would be cool to see some new images in the goggles as well for the premium/LE tables.

We Are Ready to Believe You is not the final wizard mode, but it does need polishing.

Are you a god? is supposed to be the final wizard mode, but it hasn't been programmed yet.

Lots of changes needed.

I am not so sure if "Are you a god" is the final wizard mode. Its not on the playfield but that doesn't mean anything. It is on the card BUT to me this was just a clever thing for them to put on it as a reference to the line in the movie. It just say - BE GOOD AT EVERYTHING. ? Ok. I think this was just something for them to be clever/funny and not really intended as a "mode". But I hope it is for more depth to this game is better and having one more thing to shoot for is great.

Stern can be vague on their cards. Tron's card for getting to the Portal mode says something like "skilled play".

I think it's the final wizard mode. I think that was the intention. It's just not programmed yet.

STERN has some new guys at coding departement, should be a good news...

#19 6 years ago

I knew the "last" GB will be coming in 2018. I suspect Dwight is already programming a new game, so updates for GB will come after an initial new code release. My prediction will be August when a GB update drops.

#20 6 years ago

well, as i said before, let's hope of course
and not only about GB, but for some more pins already waiting from time...
