Scored a SE. 3rd Spooky title for me!

I'm assuming there will be a "family" mode? For those with a R&M or RZ, do the Spooky family modes moderate both audio and video? I realize this is far from a family-friendly title, just wondering how many years I should plan on until I can let my kid play it without subjecting her to terrible nightmares! I might stick this one in my workshop. I'll have to hide the clown side for sure, but that's mostly for my sake...

touche!

Yup, you're right. Luckily, plenty other games for her to play, I may just stick this in the back room or leave it off/cover it when she plays. She may play games with me once/month anyways and mostly is interested in Pacman. She's not easily freaked out, so I don't anticipate a problem, but if there is, I'm sure I'll have no problem selling it.

That's a great point. Ultraman looks truly incredible. I just wish I was more invested in the theme. I'm a horror movie nut, and my wife and I watch Halloween ever year (it's the only horror film she'll watch with me!)

Shudder is awesome. I'll have to check out The Last Drive In. Also recommend "Host" if you haven't seen it. Would be a fun movie to watch with a group.

Will do. On a side note, just caught your podcast. Good stuff, man. Keep it up!

It’s a great film. I’m younger than the movie and still one of my favorites. Pacing is perfect. Holds up incredibly well.

I'm in the no spoilers camp... Hoping I have the willpower to avoid any gameplay videos or location play for a year!

Off topic - I think I can see my ACNC in the background. Hoping for #500!

Was trying to hold out on watching video until I got my game, but couldn’t help myself

Lots of great atmosphere in this game for me, which is an area Spooky games excel. Really like how the music slowly builds into moments, much like the film. Not your typical high octane pinball soundtrack, which I appreciate. Really like the art style of the animations. Looking forward to seeing how the code, animations, etc continue progressing. Layout looks unique, fun, & smooth. Glad I watched it, feeling even more pumped.

Agreed. They look really good on ACNC, more of a comic book approach to the concept, complete with page change animations sort of like the intro to Creepshow if you've seen that. I don't find them inherently comical or off putting (like in Monty Python, e.g.). The style works great in context IMHO.

I could see where some might find the Halloween animation style a little jarring in contrast to a very serious theme, but personally, I like the animation style so far for Halloween. Once they incorporate more movie clips, smooth out some of the transitions, and add some additional animations/tweaks, I'd guess most people will dig it when they're actually standing in front of the machine.

Oh wow. It’s an actual hearse. I just assumed you guys were talking about an obscure Zaccaria title.

Yes, this is the challenge with an epic sound system, and probably why people who upgrade subwoofers put them underneath the cabinets. On ACNC, I had to do a few things to get rid of the rattle. I added felt tape to the glass, added spacers between the cabinet and the subwoofer, and turned down the sub volume. Sounds so good though... Crystal clear and you can feel it.

Gotcha. I also put felt under the lockdown bar where it was making contact with the glass. I believe that made a difference. Even with the tape, I had to crank the sub down way down on mine to hit the sweet spot where I had some control over the master volume without having to keep it on 1. Granted, I keep the volume on my games pretty quiet. Still sounds great though
