Quoted from o-din:Are you saying this guys a pro?
lolll.... nope!
Quoted from UKCatsFan76:Sound like actual voices, good to hear.
i think they are generic, very close. i could be wrong.
I think this looks like a great "pro" game.
I can't wait to see the Premium/LE.
The flasher under the spinner is money.
At the very end I thought I heard direct movie clips but the lack of movie clips on the dmd is disappointing.
So far nothing mind blowing and that ball lock on the pro is horrible. Just having it sit behind a stand up target is lame.

If it's gonna be DMD, I'd rather see custom animation vs. dot-ified movie footage.
Quoted from frolic:The flasher under the spinner is money.
I thought the exact same thing!
Quoted from Rarehero:If it's gonna be DMD, I'd rather see custom animation vs. dot-ified movie footage.
been there, done that with TF
is it me or enterprise toy seems cheaper on pro than in premium and LE...
on stern website...it s the same for all versions...
but maybe bad quality vid doesn t help...
and please not there is a spinner on pro version this time!!! AHAHAHAHAH!

Everyone has different taste. I'd rather have the movie clips than cartoonish characters with movie audio. Doesn't match. Great thing about sm, im, and tron were the movie clips. Some of the TFs movie clips were hard to make out but i was glad they were still in there.
For fans of the movies I think it is a let down. My 2 cents.
Ummm. I'm going to refrain from all of my harshest comments because I know I'm going into this with a bad attitude after seeing the original video release .. but I certainly don't have a better opinion now.
Those definitely do not sound like the actual actors voices at all (oh well.) For the folks who "don't need movie animations included" ... why even buy a "Star Trek" pin then?? No artwork on the playfield or plastics, no characters from the movies anywhere, and only one toy representing a ship from the movie. I still don't understand the nearly complete lack of theme integration (why even pay for a license?? just create a generic space theme.) And the sound effects? I suspect they do sound much better in person but they seem a little cheesey to me. I've watched the video twice and hopefully it's just because this person didn't have a great game, but it sure didn't seem like much going on at all. I'm still scratching my head on this one Stern .. compared to MET this is a huge step back.

You pretty much lost any credibility you had with me regarding ST awhile ago, but this seals the deal.
Well, I will say this. Stern could have gotten ahead of this and been the first videos we've seen, instead we're getting these where we're still getting incomplete impressions of the game.
So let's not judge the thing like it's done.
Seems like the more I listen, the more the audio quotes are just thrown out at random and some don't make sense why they are there.

You've made it pretty clear you adamantly hate a pin you have never played. And it sounds like the hatred is to the point that you would hate it no matter how it plays when you do get the chance. I'm just confused why you are so worked up over your dislike for it and post so much about it. Are you trying to convince others to hate it or just driving your opinion home with a nuclear bomb? 
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:Speaking of BOMB ... let's hear more about ST.
Case in point... 
We don't see the start, but later in the game he's able to select a mission, so I'm guessing this will be like acdc then?
hard to compare a pro against an LE, plastic ramps vs wire, missing features, missing lightshow. What we can take away from this are the dots and music, overall I feel good.

Which, as 'TheLaw' stated is probably because the code is far from done. But still ...
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:just driving your opinion home with a nuclear bomb?
Speaking of BOMB ... let's hear more about ST. 
I did see when he chose a mission, after he did it the dmd stated "punch it" and you can see his right hand hit the fire button on the lockdown bar. He tried to choose by using both flippers but that didn't work.
I want to be impressed but am not. The video quality wasn't great.
I Want to see what the laser does. I want to see the ship go down. I want to see multiballs.
I want, I want, I want.
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:Speaking of BOMB ... let's hear more about ST.
Shouldn't you be price pumping in a WOZ thread or something?
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:Speaking of BOMB ... let's hear more about ST.
Oof. I am so let down...
Quoted from RobT:Shouldn't you be price pumping in a WOZ thread or something?
Nah, WOZ is shipping.
Hobbit hype is where its at now.
Quoted from TheLaw:Hey um guys, not trying to talk any trash aboot Stern or you, but maybe possibly sort of small slim very little chance the game software isn't "complete." So let's not judge the thing like it's done.
but see that the issue with pinball, computer games, video games and electronics in general... why do companies not release a done product ?
anyone that remembers shareware and DOS know what I mean.
