Quoted from flynnibus:You know what I never hear... people citing the stuff that doesn't support their belief... like the talk about TNA or RM's locks... or RM bringing the pop bumper back at the flipper... or ACNC's toys... or the multi-level playfields in Holloween... or the ramps in AIQ hittable from 3 flippers.. or a multi-axis dinosaur head in JP...
You're right, everyone just talks about playfields and what game is next...
Huh? Not quite following you.
All that stuff you listed isn't innovation, it's cool stuff under the glass. Which I agree people are definitely asking for. But most of the features you listed have been done before, at least in one form or another, in lots of past games.
To reiterate, I'm saying that I personally haven't heard anyone asking for "innovation". If anything, I hear people asking for games to be more like they were in the good ole days of the 90s.
I have nothing against this Insider Connected thing. Don't know enough to be for or against it. I'd need to see it in person, and I'd need to see how it develops before I could form an opinion. The operator stuff interests me most, since I have some games on location.
