Come on come on already!
Quoted from rai:I don't know why this is so important to you, but to my understanding there is nothing allocated to any market. anyone who wants to order can get online and order. They can be in Bangkok or Bangor Mane doesn't matter.
Quoted from MikeS:I'm pretty sure when Rick and Morty was released we didn't have any gameplay video to go off of either.-just the launch trailer. If I remember right the first gameplay shown was during that awful Stupid Morning Bullshit show which was a terrible way to see the game played for the first time. It didn't matter to me as I knew I was in based on theme and the team behind it. -I'm pretty sure I'd blind buy any game that Scott Danesi and Eric Priepke are a part of. I'm sure if the game was ready and Spooky had licensing cleared we'd see some gameplay.
Charley did a video where he stood next to R&M and explained some of the rules and pointed to what each shot did.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Then show the freaking gameplay. It’s not hard, it takes 30 minutes, they did it Rick and morty.
Quoted from Jediturtle:I'd love to see it too. My guess, and it's purely a guess, is they can't for some license related reason.
I think it's because there's no gameplay to show yet. It was just last week we saw the pic of a half-built up playfield underside, and the highlight reel just shows the ball moving around the playfield. I doubt any modes or really anything besides attract mode are programmed yet - they just enabled the flippers to shoot around for the promo video.
And for everyone telling them to wait til there IS gameplay to show, there's this little thing in business called cashflow. If they're confident it'll sell out regardless, why wait? I mean, they sold so many FC memberships, they ran out of "stock" on a virtual item.
8:59CST... let 'er rip!!
Ever seen a Japanese apartment? Where would you put a pin here? Also...arcade/pinball is not a big thing over there so I’d bet your numbers are backwards on this one.
Quoted from mrclean:1 with 499 to Japan.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Then show the freaking gameplay. It’s not hard, it takes 30 minutes, they did it Rick and morty.
Not that I agree with this, but I think because it could hurt them more than help at this point. Not saying the games are bad shooters. I think they will be great. But to do a proper gameplay video takes time. If they rushed something out, than people start to complain about certain things and maybe they lose out the FOMO they created. I agree with you though that a gameplay video should really be standard before taking orders. However, if the games are good, people won't care. Spooky seems to be generating a bunch of trust in the pinball community...which is a good thing. But I understand why some people are pausing before committing to a 9k purchase. Unfortunately I feel like they both will be sold out pretty quickly and then if you end up liking the game, you have to find one on the secondary market (now more expensive).
On a completely unrelated note, SpookyCharlie you guys need to revisit the design of your website. Use Stern as an example of great presentation. Your website is starting to resemble a MySpace page (no offense). You should have clear pages for each of your games with tabs or links to code updates, manuals, videos, photos etc. On a positive note, congrats on the launch! I am super impressed with the layout choice and the artwork is really the best I have seen in a long time!
Site crashed as I was finalizing payment..But I just got a bank alert for 2k charged by Spooky Pinball!! So I am in!
Quoted from timtim:Yeah it’s not like the original VHS sells for thousands of dollars or anything.
And IN on Halloween CE, via Joe and PinballSTAR....can't wait! Hope I don't have #1250 or something.
Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:Pulling for you bro....
Can't get it in the cart!!! saw it once!!!
