Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

I just cannot believe they actually dropped this so soon. Insane clusterf**k of titles all dropping within 2 weeks of each other

Quoted from Rarehero:

Rumor is that it's a simpler TNA/Bond60 style pin. I think we're def at a point where that type of game at a high price won't sell well, based on all the competition in the market. If it is a TNA style game and they can actually produce it for $6-7k - it could sell very well. If they try closer for $10k+, not gonna fly.

Quoted from gandamack:

Is it true that most games put out by CGC take a year plus to get delivered? I know the CC customers were waiting forever. I want this game, but CGC's history of taking eternity to ship games kind of blows.

Quoted from cookpins:

Will look great next to my TNA, sorry Meteor but I'm gonna need that space.
If it is single level, please be classic bally/stern stytle cabinet as well and not the weirdness that is JB60.

Quoted from gandamack:

The game will be expensive, no doubt. It is the current trend. You have to imagine that based on theme alone, enough people are willing to do whatever it takes to get one. CGC knows this fact and are probably more than willing to indulge the potential buyer. It will probably be in the 12-15k range. Just my guess.

Quoted from reffob:

Seems like a licensing nightmare but man if they're able to get some or all of the soundtrack into the game that would be amazing.

Quoted from Haymaker:

Man ya'll are gonna be really let down when you see this game, I have a bad feeling lol

Quoted from Doctor6:

I'll give you a counter argument. Why not?
We know NOTHING yet. People were excited for 007. Look at it now. When people said they weren't getting one or the other game becauae if this, i had assumed some amazing/extensive footage came out for it. But no, we have nothing.

Quoted from docquest:

Unless they wanted it to be the type of game you'd see at Jack Rabbit Slims.
Quentin is a child of the 70's and loves retro so if he was involved I could easily see him wanting it be an old school style game like Bond 60th.

Quoted from gonzo73:Its tomorrow on the East Coast....

Quoted from allsportdvd:

Who's the distributor in Australia? How do I order here?

Quoted from ifpapinball:

It's a bastard for sure. I've gotten to the final wizard mode twice ever in the 'far too many years' this thing has been in development.
Mark designed a playfield that really hits that sweet spot of the era where it kicks your ass 4 times out of 5, but that 5th game where you get a hold of it for a bit really makes it satisfying. It then kicks your ass the next 4 games

Quoted from iceman44:

You mutherfuckers! Another great job on the "featurette" guys.
Made me flip flop on this one. The call outs alone. FFS

Quoted from Aurich:

Also, just a minor detail, but I totally missed that there's a center post between the flippers, it's barely in the shots, had to see the ball bounce to go back and look.

Quoted from ifpapinball:

Plug included in the goodie bag for those masochists that really want this game to beat the absolute shit out of them

Quoted from Blackice:

I couldn’t decide on FF, GF or PF so I’m in on all.

Quoted from yancy:

Can someone please release a game without an F in the acronym? Every time I see a game mentioned this month I have to stop and remind myself which one it is. Not to mention TPF.

Quoted from trilogybeer:

Damn, thanks for the responses. A painted cabinet would have definitely added to the cool factor, still looks great though.

Quoted from LTG:

All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!
LTG : )

Quoted from punkin:

No. That one is 'don't move this is a robbery'.

Quoted from punkin:

Apologies, i thought you'd morphed into the ma Baker song.

Quoted from docquest:

Curious to see what the banner looks like.

Quoted from Astropin:

"Ain't no fuckin' ballpark neither. Now look, maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but, you know, touchin' his wife's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her Holiest of Holies, ain't the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport"

Quoted from ifpapinball:

The shitty potato cam video from TPF will come first. Better quality streamed video will come later.
Per the rules and guidelines of game launches, Section III clearly states shitty video footage first.
We’re not interested in breaking the rules.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Quoted from chuckwurt:

The cup. It’s interactive too.

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

more footage of my buddy stumblor and I having a two player, we are both in for an LE and we are both super excited! Shot this with my gimbal which is playing up a little so there might be some last minute potato cam.

Quoted from mtdouble:

100s of games that fill that void, besides them integration does PF bring anything else to the table?

Quoted from mtdouble:

anyone that isnt in able to give us their opinion? dont see that much going on, besides the great callouts and music....I hope I'm wrong.

Quoted from Kenswift:

My buddy isn’t a Pulp Fan. He’s never even seen the movie. I asked him to check it out and this is what he said. He’s not easy to please.704C5A2D-0605-4F39-9F82-D7F9B04CBD66 (resized).jpeg

Quoted from stumblor:

Literally everyone was having this reaction. The smiles, laughter, people dancing for crying out loud. It's just very very tidily done. If crowds and lines are anything to go by, it was the pin of the day for sure.
What makes it so special for me, isn't the theme integration, the old school look or the sound (which are all top notch) but the fact that you feel like you are battling the game with every ball. It's never safe. Neil calls it a sense 'urgency' and he's completely right.
It's weird right because on one side of the room you have Foo - ball paths, flow, complexity. And on the other, a throwback single level with a modern twist, that is arguably stealing the limelight. Pinball has forked. You can bet the manufacturers will be paying attention to those lines today.

Quoted from punkin:

I've bought a Fathom Mermaid and a Celts in the last year or so. Been after a TNA too.
And this thing is 19k au.

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

I don't mean to be less than supportive, but festival goers I spoke to said the lines were long because they weren't moving. They weren't moving because ball times are very long on PF.

Quoted from TreyBo69:

I rewatched the movie. I never really put it together before, but Vincent is always going to the bathroom to try to crap because he’s addicted to opioids and thus constipated.

Quoted from snaroff:

My Beatles Gold NIB cost 7.5k. Bond 60th is an aberration, not a trend.
All the buzz surrounding PF has little to do with price and everything to do with it being a stellar game done by an A-list team. The only people pumping Bond 60th are the very small contingent that bought one. Is anyone even talking about Bond 60th at the show? There are plenty of unsold games, so there must be some Bond 60th's to play @ TPF.

Quoted from snaroff:

Pricing aside, PF is inspired and Bond 60th isn't. The inspiration is the result of a great team (led by MR) and a license holder that wants it to be great. The license woes on all the Bonds have been well publicized (by Stern!). Bond 60th couldn't be more underwhelming...just seems like the game was rushed and unloved. OTOH PF has been brewing for years. The community has spoken. All 1k PF LE's are spoken for, while Bond 60th's sit unclaimed in MANY distributor warehouses. Sure, Bond 60th might have some redeeming shots/aspects, but apparently not enough for folks to speak with their wallet.

Quoted from Aurich:

Clearly photoshopped.

Quoted from punkin:

This is one of the shitty practices that should be stopped. the boy's club ordering before the game is on sale.
I get that repeat customers should get some recognition, but when ordering opens here and some of the distributors only have 20 CE's for the whole country or less, you call within minutes of the announcement to find that they were sold on spec a year or more before the announcement, cause rumours and boy's club?
So maybe reserve half for the boy's club and first clubber in get's em...AFTER announcement. The other half, free for all, AFTER the announcement, boys club included, one only.
Selling rumours is bad practice.

Quoted from punkin:

Sure is, he sent you the form. You said it yourself.
The machine was reserved for you if you paid.

Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

Thats how the world works. You are a good customer and you asked to be in. Why do care what he thinks. Who the f cares. Let him build up a relationship and worry about. You did your part and you got the game.

Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Contrarian Impressions:
I was just wondering if there are any other visitors to this thread whose enthusiasm for PF was actually diminished in response to the gameplay clips from TPF.
Yeah, it looked cool, but...
1. LONG ball times
2. Limited shots
3. No magnet action
4. Uncharacteristically bad (for David Thiel) sound effects
5. Repetitive gameplay (every festival goer who played the game seemed to start Briefcase Boogie MB)
6. Ugly/unimaginative use of RGB insert and GI lighting (All green? Yuck!)
7. Too many callouts from too many sources
8. Repetitive/limited music tracks
9. A good looking topper that is still, well, dull
10. A peculiar absence of Butch (did Willis and QT have a falling out?)
11. No real skill shots
12. Art that is "hand drawn" but still not exceptional
Is it fair to nitpick? Perhaps not, but we don't all have to be on the hype train.
I like the movie a lot, and I like CGC's commitment to quality a lot, and I was super jazzed to learn more about this game, but I'm much less excited about it now, after TPF, than I was before it. Of course playing it is the only way to make a fair judgement, but these are my *impressions*. Nothing more and nothing less. Am I the only one?

Quoted from jackd104:

I cannot believe all the uproar over one post of almost 4,000 that was contrarian to all the optimism and it was not even negative or trolling, just someone sharing their thoughts in a perfectly fine manner. I read it, thought, “hmm, that’s interesting” then moved on. I am a fan of this game and everything I’ve seen but I can handle other views. Maybe the younger crowd is rubbing off and we have a lot of new middle-aged snowflakes. It’s a forum, people say all kinds of stuff; maybe it’s not in your imagined scope of the thread, but as long as it’s not incendiary, I can’t understand why grown adults would whine about it.

Quoted from Beechwood:

PF LE sucks and is overrated. And overpriced.
PM me so I can take your spot.

Quoted from Zablon:

Such a looker in person. It's a bit slower player, and ball times are longer than I would have thought. My wife kicked my ass on this game, which is unusual, but that's not a bad thing. Made her want it more. Very hard to hear anything at the show which was expected, but still always disappointing on these things. Now for the long wait for my LE.

Quoted from TreyBo69:

And now that I think about it more, Spooky has to announced their sales window because of the whole Fang Club thing. Besides the random tchotchkes you get, the whole point of their club is being able to order before non-members (not that membership guarantees you the chance to order). TNA CE and Scooby where the first times the fan club didn't gobble them all up before sales opened to non-club-members

Quoted from ifpapinball:It certainly helps that we aren't relying on Pulp profits to help us make payroll.

Quoted from iceman44:Yep. So fast it will make your head spin.
“But there is only 1,000 LEs”.
Seriously, some people just aren’t paying attention.

Quoted from daudioguy:

PF - mono vs stereo. There have been several posts decrying the fact that PF is mono. As the sound guy I want the best reproduction available for the player and let me say that PF audio reproduction is very good. Why mono? It is derived from the same CGC platform that has been used for the remakes. Very few WMS pins were stereo. As far as the material, 3 out of the 5 licensed songs were issued as mono in the day, so this is hardly a come down. All dialog is essentially mono, so that is not an issue. Yes, when available I use stereo for game cues when possible and this isn't available. However, all the assets are stored as two channel assets where I specially mastered different versions of the signal for the backbox channel and the cabinet channel. What I have done to each signal is considerably more involved that your average speaker crossover. The resulting PF audio is more full-spectrum than many other pins with a flat response which ensures the music sounds good. From my June NWPAS talk I demonstrated what I am referring to with regards to PF audio, this might help. I've been living with this system for more than two years and I'm sure that it will be satisfying in your collection.

Quoted from Grantman:

I don't think CGC is at risk of going out of business. Haggis is a big unknown at this point. See articles/threads about their most recent letter and "recapitalization." Me and a bunch of other people have paid in full for games and have no idea when/if we will ever get them. I expect downvotes from the Aussies in 3, 2, 1...

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

I make a template on paper, transfer to mylar, then cut by hand with scissors. Sure I would prefer the cricut but not worth it for me considering how often I make these.
