Quoted from Lethal_Inc:If MSRP is lower on the pro, why the higher street price?
Marketing. It’s all about the illusion of a price decrease

Looks like premium/le also has red gi... like the walking dead premium. Plus bunch of other neat upgrades. Can't wait to see gameplay as both model's look great. Also glad to see stern stepping upmand adding real le stuff to the mix and putting standard stuff back on the pro. Someone over at stern realized they needed to change some things to better compete with all these new manufacturers . Good job stern... u may have my business again.
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:Too bad it still has the travesty that is SPIKE
I've had ZERO issues with my spike 2 games....
What’s with the Egyptian theme? Would rather have something cooler as a central theme, but damn it does look great!
Art (pf and cab): check, Layout: looks like a big check, Music: check...just have lighting effects, sound, and the big one (CODE) left.
Quoted from PtownPin:I've had ZERO issues with my spike 2 games....
Good for you. Many others have had multiple issues with multiple games.
Quoted from Pimp77:What’s with the Egyptian theme? Would rather have something cooler as a central theme, but damn it does look great!
You want someone to tell you why it had to be Powerslave?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think it goes with the whole "Legacy of the Beast" Iron Maiden mobile game the band recently put out. Kinda a bummer to have that separate tag line slapped everywhere but the game does look cool.
Yeah, great job. Looks like Stern actually put some effort in satisfying fans instead of the accountants on this one. I had zero interest in the title until I saw the layout. Now I am genuinely interested. That's how it should be. I love the 4 flippers and not sacrificing spinners and drop targets on the pro. Having a killer pro brings in the interest. Many of those will opt for the premium or le to get the nicer features. I see a home run for Stern. Just make sure the code is up to par.
This is the first Stern I've been super excited for since WWE theme-wise. I really hope this one ticks all the boxes once I get my hands on one

I don't want to die I want to live on ....
Quoted from Pimp77:Do we know designer and cider on this?
Keith Elwin: design & ruleset
Rick Naegale: lead coder
Quoted from PinB:Keith Elwin: design & ruleset
Rick Naegale: lead coder
Yep.. Rick is implementing the rules that Keith wrote for the game.
oh man what a homerun, layout, art, songlist.. everything looks spot on! this thing is gonna sell in spades..

According to Elwin on the fantastic C2C podcast, it is actually based on the comic book:

Better grab the comics as game based on these.

Quoted from Pimp77:Do we know designer and coder on this?
You could be forgiven for thinking it was Pat Lawler.
Quoted from DefaultGen:You want someone to tell you why it had to be Powerslave?
The matrix says the premium will have Egytian cabinet art and backglass. Can't wait to see that!
Quoted from Concretehardt:Yep.. Rick is implementing the rules that Keith wrote for the game.
New Software Engineer Tim Sexton is also a part of the team.
Quoted from mnpinball:Seriously ?
Was that a dumb question? I haven’t read this entire thread. Hell, I don’t even know who Rick Naegale is. What has he coded before?
Another dumb question: I assume this is a tweaked Archer layout without the gun mech?
Quoted from PinB:Keith Elwin: design & ruleset
Rick Naegale: lead coder
Looks frickin awesome! Love the art and song list. Looks like its mode based and each song is tied in with a certain battle/mode, so no pinball browser to change songs, won’t tie in with game. Can’t wait to play it.
I have thoughts, dunno if I'll write them up, probably at some point, because you know I'm a wordy motherf—er, but I give this two thumbs up, looking forward to the Premium reveal.
Really happy for Keith Elwin.

Listen to the C2C podcast interview with KME - it will help greatly - http://www.podcastgarden.com/episode/episode-242_125160

No, we're good thanks.

Damn, Stern coming out slugging on this one.....I like it
Quoted from PtownPin:I've had ZERO issues with my spike 2 games....
Don't bother. Trying to argue with anti-SPIKE Pinsiders is like trying to get Pinball back to 1979 prices.
Quoted from Stones:Damn, Stern coming out slugging on this one.....I like it
Revealing new pins at shows has jumped the shark. Completely unnecessary.
Reveal them when they are ready.
Is the $5700 street price real on the pro? That's not the minimum, is it? Anybody get pricing from a distributor yet?
Quoted from Sinestro:Don't bother. Trying to argue with anti-SPIKE Pinsiders is like trying to get Pinball back to 1979 prices.
SPIKE legit sucks, but it's not going away, so you either accept it and move on or you don't buy. I really disliked my time with a SPIKE game, for what it's worth.
I'm so happy that we don't a gimped pro on this. Sure it is missing cool features but it is really loaded! I'm so freaking stoked!
Quoted from Stones:Damn, Stern coming out slugging on this one.....I like it
Hell yes they did. They made a statement big time with this game here.
Remember when everyone said Stern pissed on their grave with no TPF reveal?
And then squatted down to crap on what was left with the failed reveal that was never a reveal?
This is why. Because you/me don't actually care, and Stern knows it

It's still a bad look. Everybody but Stern supported pinball's biggest show of the year. I know they didn't want to split the coverage, but there's a lot to be said for supporting events put on by the community.

There's a very big chance they COULD NOT reveal anything at TPF.
People need to get over this stuff and stop getting their feelings hurt over stuff they have no control over. You have no idea what a nightmare it can be dealing with licensors in 2018. They need to sign off on everything, every time.
I was pissed Gary wouldn't let me film that Star Wars I found in England weeks before the official reveal. But I'm not running a company and dealing with licensors either.
I love the layout and the art, but there's just no way I could do it with the music. It's just not my thing in the same way some people couldn't do Aerosmith or KISS. This is my favorite layout of the past 20 or so Sterns that have released, but then probably my least favorite theme of the past 20 (well, maybe WWE is lower, lol).

Stern reveals on fb/ign and when they feel like it. Convention schedule/appearances may or may not be involved if convenient- simple as that.

That's Stern's problem. Licenses are their choice. They choose to deal with them. The fact remains that they were the only manufacturer that had nothing to show. That's the bottom line of it all.

Here we had Stern getting placement with ROLLING STONE to do their reveal. I think they felt that exposure was worth passing TPF.. which is an audience they would reach no matter where they posted it...
Damn damn damn, looks like I need to sell something and maybe change the line up a bit. Gryss, I’ll eat my words now. When’s Megadeth coming out?
Quoted from TheLaw:To whom? look around.
Correct. Absolutely nobody gives a shit.
Doesn't mean people won't bring it up from now till the end of time at every single TPF Stern doesn't reveal their next title, but big picture it's irrelevant.
Quoted from Concretehardt:Some of the LE features... Battlefield themed hand drawn mirrored backglass, HD brushed foil battlefield cabinet art shaker, invisa glass, art blades, JBL sound system with EQ, eddie shooter rod... Pinch me I must be dreaming!
^^^^This^^^^
Finally they have included items that actually make people want to upgrade.
Anti glare glass, shaker and real backglass and more. Yes please.
Quoted from TheLaw:Man this PF actually looks pretty packed, sadly Wherever may I glue my dolls?!?!
Two dolls in the premium/LE
