Quoted from Palmer:This is something that bothers me. Too many colors...reminiscent of AIQ. Add in the art blades and it is just a lot going on.
toomany (resized).jpgQuoted from gambit3113:Man, if I ever saw you like anything and not carpet poop everything, I'd pay this some mind and really be introspective and think about what I am bringing to the table. However...
I own 4 games, two elwins and a zombie yeti. Both bolted to the floor. But yea, I don’t like anything.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Dude this is not healthy. Your art is high quality and the game will sell out. Not everyone will like something as subjective as art.
Pinside: why doesnt anybody from Stern ever post here?
Also pinside: Hey it’s totally unhealthy for someone from Stern to post here and respond to criticism!!!!!! Someone do a wellness check!!!
Quoted from Palmer:But I don't think his style matches Godzilla.
Guess who does think so: Toho. It wouldn't be there if it didn't get approved.
I like having games with bright colors on them. As long as there's plenty of animations from the original movies on the screen, everything will balance out fine.

Sarcastically quoting every customer who doesn’t love the art not really a response. It’s something mirco would do.

Lol.
Dude in the next cubicle: Man, this art blows!
Artist: Hey, thanks for the support!
Dude in the next cubicle: Hey man, you shouldn't be here watching me taking my giant dumps on your life's work. it isn't what I want!
I understand the criticism for the art but I think its misplaced. I'd be much more disappointed if it was black and white. I love the colorful poppy artwork. Imo its a killer art package. I want my godzilla game to look campy and fun, not serious and gritty.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Yea god forbid anyone has a different opinion than yours. We should all blindly like all games equally. This is a forum after all, no room for opinions or discussion here. Can I set up direct deposit with stern so they just automatically withdraw cash for every game?
Agreed; and any artist should know that their creation may speak to some, and not others. Just because it's pinball doesn't mean we should all fall head over heels on every art package.

Look at your own posts on here the last two year, Mr. Ray of Sunshine. You seem like a miserable human.
Quoted from epthegeek:Most people don't actually want drab/dull for their pinball machine. Remember the hobbit playfield fiasco? Originally it was movie accurate with the colors and everybody whined until they changed it to be brighter.
Especially on location you want it to pop. I think the art looks great on these.
Drab/dull is not what anyone in here is asking for though.

It’s totally unhealthy!!!
I’m worried about him.
Quoted from Scandell:My biggest initial knee jerk criticism…is that I wish the artwork had a much narrower color palette. I was hoping the LE would be black and white like munsters
I do as well - but most of the characters were in color films. I am getting used to the art the more I look at it, just don't care for the rainbow color palete used. Just stick with a few core colors and built it up around them.
However, that's nit picking. The fact that the game has a very low pop in it is exciting as hell.
Too bad the PRO has virtual locks and not physical locks. There's not much to the PRO at least it could have retained physical locks.
Game looks great though and looking forward to playing it next month at EXPO.
Quoted from Haymaker:I understand the criticism for the art but I think its misplaced. I'd be much more disappointed if it was black and white. I love the colorful poppy artwork. Imo its a killer art package. I want my godzilla game to look campy and fun, not serious and gritty.
100% agree. Game looks amazing. Like the artwork and BLUE OYSTER CULT!!
Quoted from JodyG:Look at your own posts on here the last two year, Mr. Ray of Sunshine. You seem like a miserable human.
This. Isn't this the guy that was preemptively telling everyone not to buy Godzilla on like Friday? But he's objective with his subjectivity, damnit!
The best thing about the price increase is now, even if you miss out on an LE, you can pay what used to be the LE price for a Premium! Good feels for everyone.
Quoted from Yesh23:Has anyone saw a game matrix grid yet?
It's on Stern's site.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Have you seen the world the last two years? I am most certainly miserable.
I see lizards of green
Busy art too
Predictable BOC
And a non moving Godzilla too
And I think to myself…what a miserable world
I see defensive zombie
And a price increase
No smoke or fire
Or a topper on the LE
And I think to myself
What a miserable world
I'm officially out. My wife, who is an even bigger Godzilla fan than I am, made the same comment about it looking like it came out of the Marvel universe. I hope the rest of you enjoy it.

pasted_image (resized).pngI just have two questions.
1. Why is Godzilla green?
2. Where does the Godzilla logo on the LE stem from? (pro/premium is 1956 OG)
Quoted from Skyemont:Does Godzilla move or interact with the pinball?
This is not happening. This is not happening!!!!
For all the mechs, the thing that makes me happiest is the single, TNA-style pop bumper. What's the last Stern they let out the door with only one pop? Stars?
Another very cool layout from K.E. 4 for 4. This one will probably be my fave because the authentic old-school Godzilla vibe.

I CAN'T STOMACH THIS BLASPHEMOUS ART PACKAGE. HELP ME!

Thank god does that mean you'll stop posting you hate the art every other comment?
You guys have literally lost your minds.
We've actually gotten to a point where people are whining and crying over art that's "not what you wanted?" You're not happy with a sinking building?
Jesus. This game looks insane. It's beautiful. It's f***ing pinball. Get over it.
One thing for sure, the collectors and players of 2021 aren't what they were even 5 years ago.

People didn’t have opinions 5 years ago?
Godzilla was before my time but man this pinball machine looks like it has it all. Congrats to everyone that was waiting for Stern to nail this IP.

I'm not being defensive - just masochistic by entering in here.
My pitch was I do actually spend more time per capita on my work than anyone (rimshot)... BUT - Defensive would be me explaining my choices (which I will...) - or defending them. Keith and team made an amazing game that will be a classic regardless of me (love or hate)!
