Me coming in here looking for the reveal

Man, it must be my day to be wrong about everything. $7k for CCSE is a steal IMHO.

The movie came out when I was in high school. I was a big Tarantino fan, my friends and I would watch Reservoir Dogs practically every weekend.

I'm more excited about seeing a game with segment displays than I am about Godfather's 27" screen. David Thiel on sound means I have zero worries. I can't wait to see the playfield and real gameplay.

I'm just let down by the decision to take the wonderful adult vibe of the film and the original marketing and turn it into mildly cartoony comic book characters. It's a really poor fit for the theme, and it's turning me off. Not the lack of movie clips, not some pointless display I don't need to look at while playing, not the fact that there are no ramps.

Clearly all that matters the most is the gameplay. I can be won over. I'm just disappointed it's not beautiful like I had hoped. Maybe high rez photos will help, I dunno. All I want to say is "I changed my mind!"

My theory (which Josh can validate, deny, or ignore):

Mark Ritchie has been working on this game for many years with the intention of making it into a modern pinball machine with all that you would expect. At some point in the licensing discussions, it became clear that the only viable path forward to bring the game to market was without the video assets. Maybe the price tag was too high. Maybe a key actor or two said no and that killed video as an option entirely.

Rather than scrapping the project, they changed it into a throwback type of game with audio and artwork assets only. Obviously I'm pretty bummed, but it went from an instant day 1 buy a "no for now." For me. I graduated HS in 1994 and this movie is probably my all time favorite, next to Episode V.

Cabinet looks great! Looking forward to the Mark Ritchie design and how it sounds. Chimes would be terrific.

Perhaps "Misirlou" and "You Never Can Tell" playing in the background, even if it's digital sounding version (think CFTBL).

Awesome. Games like this - just pure pinball fun - in a modern as-new finish with snappy mechs is just a dream. And I cherish those that pull the trigger and dive in. If it was only possible to make these at a real competitive price. I am affraid they are just too pricy for people to go there. TNA proved it self. The first time around at least. I hope this will.

Chances of me buying pulp fiction pinball without full assets is approaching zero percent.

Yeah, Godfather is not for me, the look of that pin just does not work at all for me. As far as theme misses it is much worse that Pulp Fiction. The Godfather is a great movie but it's not from my generation so I don't have the attachment. Pulp Fiction is perfection for me, it is my 20s, I watched the Resevoir Dogs till the fucking tape wore out. Haha I watched Killing Zoe till the tape wore out.

We'll go with "ignore" on this one but I'm loving the conspiracy theories. Keep them coming!

there's gotta be a "what" frenzy where every switch says "what" right?

And after so much time the balls drain, the game goes dark, it blasts "Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!" then it shots another ball into play for a hurry up jackpot value

I've never even seen the movie, and I can't wait to see the game. Guess I have an excuse to watch the movie now.

The amount of complaining in hype threads is nauseating. Every game costs too much and every game doesn't have enough assests! We get it. Stop complaining!

Thanks for working your JJP hatred into this thread Aurich

Are you doing the rule design?

My theory is that Josh Sharpe had never played a single level game of pinball in his life until Quentin Tarantino invited him over for dollar games of Flash Gordon. His mind was blown! Pinball, without an LCD or ramps? What a concept. After losing Josh vowed he would build a single level Pulp Fiction game just so he could get a rematch and win his dollar back.

Are Josh's initials the default for the second high score?

Zing!!

I’m genuinely curious about the coin door, which is awesome and unique. That doesn’t look easy to fabricate these days; was there a stash squirreled away in a warehouse somewhere?

Are they going to release video? Or is that it just the picture?

Ugh. Just noticed the mirror blades. I suppose that is easy enough to remedy, but still another check in the "cons" column for my decision.

It looks just like the one Haggis put on Fathom, but black. So they're clearly out there for sale in volume.

My money is on LE only feature.

I really admire how Josh handles criticism. He must’ve been hardened by all those botching competitive players.

maybe.

This is fucking hilarious and coincidentally I believe is true

Sorry sir we don't do video round these parts.

You'll get ASCII art like the segment display can do and like it

There should be no argument. The cell phone in the film was a nineties giveaway.

The fact it comes off as possibly being from an old stash of parts was exactly what we were going for! It is a newly designed door that CGC tooled up!

Excited for people to see it in person.

I'm getting the credit but it was truly a team effort to get things to "fun".

Sir, it is safe for you to emerge from that fall out shelter the world is still intact….

The phone could have been late 80's. Motorola had the pull out antenna and non-flip phone that size. I think the NSX wasn't in the USA until 1991

They could have done DMD.. first DMD was in 91. I still like the retro look for now

Just wait until the pawn shop scene

For a home game, audio is so much more important than video. For arcade usage, it's just the opposite.

The movie was filmed in 1993. Granted I was in kindergarten.... But were diners and arcades still not full of mostly alphanumeric games? Funhouse and Bride of Pinbot would still have been fairly new.

It took a team?

Yes the arcades and bowling alleys were still full of 80’s solid states in the early 90’s

Let's see the game before chuckwurt is forced to donate his North America winnings to Project Pinball!

Please tell me that the artist on this project was Markus Rothkranz, the "Picasso of Pinball" as his art is perfect for this time period.

Not in agreement with that Snaroff, for a home game, BOTH audio and video are equally important in today's pinball world. Try making this argument and taking away video on all future HUO and see what happens.

Anyone else have the Pulp Fiction soundtrack playing in their head all weekend? I have Surf Rider on repeat

How can the "no video is fine" people not be severly disappointed this will not be a ball save animation??

It's just a classic bally style coin door. A couple sheets of steel with bends, a shell for the coin slots, a hinge, plus the chutes for the coins and brackets for the mechs, and a few other odds & ends.

Now we need 2 hype threads?...https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/cgc-pulp-fiction-/page/7
Sorry if it's already been mentioned

But gay hillbilly rape is so 70s

could also be a good kickback animation screen

Nice!

Bond 60th was going for $18k. In the pinball world today anything is possible it seems.

I never knew this dude did all of that artwork. It's great, and he certainly seems a character!

And in the video he states People Magazine called him that.
