Fantastic!!great flow,dots,Light show and sounds,looks great too and only going to get better as code improves!I can't wait to see what SR has in store for the LE!!!
I enjoyed the light show and the dots. Game looks smooth, and you played the hell out of it...
Not too sure I like the upper flipper loop shot. Seems like this is less flowing than it should be with how the ball drops off the ramp before returning to the flipper.
Can't wait to play it. Thanks for the video!
Ok the original video has been updated... Sorry about the vertical use of my camera... Videos 2 and 3 are on their way!!! Make sure you set it to HD 720..
People that have been hyping it up will love it. People that have been critical not so much. Let the fighting ensue.
Thanks for the video btw!
Wow, big difference with the light show when played in a dim room. The Pro is looking great. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the video. I think that is the real actors voices. I am half tempted to pull the trigger on an LE.
Looking good - thanks for the vid. Definitely needs work on the scoring and modes though I can't believe this is anywhere near finished. Also when the ship shakes there needs to be a more exciting audio effect.
Looks lightning fast. I like the sound bits and light show. I still am not really a fan of the art package. Also very curious the effect of the ship if it differs from pro to LE.
In 5 minutes it looks like you completed all modes. I am wondering how deep the rules go.
Overall much better perception of the game with a video.
One thing is sure THE KING OF FLOW is alive and well.
Quoted from Shoot_Again:In 5 minutes it looks like you completed all modes. I am wondering how deep the rules go.
Ditto!
I will not spoil what happens when you complete the modes... However I can do another video if you want to see it

If Stern had made a decent early video they would not have lost nearly as many sales as they have. I know they have always done it this way but if 'you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you always get'.
They don't even have anything other than a generic Replay animation?
I don't care much for the theme, but the dots seems ok, not great.
Fast, Mad Flow (possible for the good player), sounds and music are ok,
lighting is game good (cointakers?) and looks fun?
RGR said ----Yeah.. Aside from the code, game play THAT game is worlds above anything.... Just amazing. The GI was an issue but the flow and the LCD...wow. When they get a good theme then its alllll overrrr... What an incredible piece of engineering that is. The only thing that I did not expect was the game time.... 4 of us played and it took 40 mins or so to complete however it was set to 5 ball.
I'm confused. Are you saying ball times are too long or to short? 4(players)X5 ball games=20 total balls played. Assuming no extra balls awarded. 40mins/20balls = 2 minutes per ball. Sounds about right for an average player. I personally would consider that a bad game.
I don't want to see wizard mode, but I would like to see Vengeance Mode and see that ship do something. thanks again for posting.

Half attempted isn't enough, I'd wait and try the sucker out.

The ship shakes at about 5:55.
This game has early code. Code is not even close to being finished. Code reminds me of Xmen where you have a timer to accomplish each mode. This game has incredible flow. Watched the video and its as smooth as the one I played. I hit a 7 shot combo on this game. Its easy to hit the warp ramp over and over again. Give the code some time!!!!
thnks man!
could you edit the initial post when you get all 3 uploaded?
just watched the first video. looks a little boring the game..hmmm...
Quoted from RGR:I will not spoil what happens when you complete the modes... However I can do another video if you want to see it
aaaaaa..... yes!!!!!!!
Before the video, I thought the layout looked cheap and simple.
After the video, the layout looks clean and elegant to me.
Go figure!
Thanks for the vid!
Fast, incredible flow, smooth ramps, insane light show for a pro. Steve Ritchie delivers once again. This will prove to be a top 5 or top 10 Stern.

...and here comes the usual hype i hope you are right btw! i will reserve judgement when code is complete in the next year,or if it does get completed at all.
good luck to the early adopters.
Yea...based on the light show on the pro at this early stage, I have to believe that the finished light show on the LE/Premium is going to be pretty mind blowing. Good stuff.
After seeing a few of these homemade videos, I'm definitely convinced that it was by design that Stern withheld any "official" videos". Simply put, they're embarrassed by the game. NOT releasing a video actually increased pre-orders for this pin. They didn't lose as many presales as they would have by showing the video. It's simple addition by subtraction.

Yeah agreed however I should have explained that one game went for 30 mins and the others... well a few guys had been drinking.... Exteremely long ball times tho. I think that the upper left PF flipper is to big. You can trap ball up there and it should have been designed like that of tspp.
Quoted from TimeBandit:Thanks man. Was Bruce taking orders??
Yeah I guess so, but I was busy playing other pins..
Thanks for sharing.
Looks good with smooth flow, sounds, callous, dots are OK. My only concern is that it's looks a tad easy, which is not a bad thing for a terrible player like myself but, the guys that are ace players may tire of it easily. Of course the later code could help here.

I disagree. Stern didnt lose any orders the distros still bought them. I am sure they are waiting until expo for the big reveal. I am sure SR is proud of his game.
Thanks, RGR! I think even for early code it looks like it's a blast to play. I'm really liking the dots and...so glad they aren't movie clips. Did the game have a shaker in it by chance? If so did it feel well integrated? Thanks again, man.

I hope it's a great game and I hope that I've never been as wrong about a pinball machine before. But for now, this machine should be called "Groundhog Day" as it feels like we're time loop with the same game being released over and over again.
I hope that Stern, the only company that puts out multiple titles per year, succeeds and succeeds big. But they need to do it through performance and new innovations, not through cheerleading.

You're a troll eh? Plain and simple?
This game looks amazing! Dots, callouts, music, LEDs, speed and flow... it's all there.
I expect Stern may not have done a video as the code isn't anything to write home about yet, so there's not much to show off. Given them a chance to include some deeper rules and this pin could knock it out of the park.
If you're in disagreement, tell us what exactly Stern should be embarrassed about please.
You don't have a leg to stand on. Not now that we can see the game in action.

Hmm-- I thought a troll says provocative things and then walks away. You seem to have redefined troll as saying things that you don't agree with. The game looks like a snoozefest. Sorry.

The 2nd and 3rd videos were played on a 5 ball Pro with mirror blades, sub and shaker. It certainly made a difference. They are better quality videos given that there was no other noise from other pinballs and no glare from off the glass.

So what about it looks boring? Because it's a re-used layout? To me, that's a serious concern for anyone who already owns Spiderman so I can't disagree with you there. The rules aren't in place yet -as stated earlier. Is it because the modes look to be too simple?
I don't understand how this can be a "snoozefest" with the speed and flow that has now been displayed.
Look, we can disagree but honestly? You should put up some evidence as to why you feel that way -right now you're just nay-saying. Do you not like the sounds/lights/callouts?

That is one of the strangest conclusions I have read on this topic. It must have been meant as a joke, right?
