I think they look like a lot of fun, and I can't wait to play all the versions.

I think the artwork looks great, and I think the game looks great. This game is packed with ramps, toys, and modes.

We don't even know what half of the things do, or what half of the features are.

Maybe Stern tilted the DMD and put one of those comb filter overlays on the DMD to eliminate DMD glare. Maybe that's an LCD showing what looks like a DMD.

This game is going to be freaking awesome. SR knows what he is doing.

Alex, I'm glad you are back, but so far all of your posts have been basically a put-down on the unseen star projector.

Back to JJP employees saying negative things about Stern over and over?

Steve Ritchie knows what he is doing. I can't wait to play this game.

Not if it's not a "laser" per say.

Projecting a disco ball style display on the ceiling/walls could make it feel like you are in warp speed.

I'm still really curious about the CGI enterprise stuff they had in their promo video. What was the point of that? Was that just a fun cut scene they made with their 3d model of the enterprise toy? Was it alluding to more?

Stern is shelling out money for a big reveal at Expo, why would they ruin it before hand?

So you are saying that if you had a new wrap/paint job put on your monster camaro, and rented out a track to do a big unveil, that you wouldn't try to hide it until then?

I didn't say the video wasn't coming or that I agree with holding back info, but I do think SR wants his "big reveal" moment.

Even looking at the features grid on their website with the extra cells in the background, and 2 blank pages screams "we had to rush this out because info was leaking faster than we could contain it".

Haha, why are you shocked? You posted a bunch about yourself in your pinball party thread including a link to your facebook page. We even had a conversation about your name-sake sandwich........

I'm sure we will see video before Expo, but I get the feeling that wasn't always the plan. At first I thought the missing "DMD" feature line in the sheet was an indicator that something was left out, but I went back and looked at the matrices for X-Men, and it doesn't mention DMD there either.

I've tried bidets at several points in my life so far, and still can't "figure it out".

Point being, it would just be another pinball thing I can't do, lol.

Call the mohel!

My only thought on this would be that the front of the ship is a separate piece for some reason. It either moves, or is a bash target of some sort.

I'm not gonna lie, I love the playfield artwork.

Don't hate me for it.

My guess would be that those are the lights that light up the outside of the rails, and they also light up inside to give that "firing photon torpedo" effect.

Like 12 bulbs in a sequence, and the plastic housing is visible from both sides (outside and inside).

I just disagree that they didn't integrate the theme. Just because they didn't put pictures of the current actors on the playfield, doesn't make it any less integrated.

They had custom inserts made of the star trek logo... Does it get any more integrated than that?

I just watched Into Darkness for the first time. Now I really don't understand how people think the theme isn't integrated, or how the artwork doesn't match.

The pictures of even the pro lit up look like something straight out of the movie.

I can just imagine the battle between the vengeance and the enterprise during warp, with the warp simulating "laser" show. Got the vengeance firing balls back at you. She crashes and you have to battle Khan.

All I know is work is done for the day, engage warp speed to the smashed quadrant.

Animated in this case means that the light sequences out from the ship like a laser firing. If you look closely at the pics, you can see the individual light blocks all in a row.

Yeah, I think spidey is wrong. It's the emblems on the side of the backbox that light up.

I love how Stern has ignited some weird form of rage, because they won't share the info yet, lol.

Brilliant on their part, even though a lot of you won't see it that way.

Let's tally the results of their actions in 2 months. Maybe I'm wrong and it will backfire on them, but I think this is a funny/smart play on their part.

That's me, and I think what they are doing is funny as hell. ST will sell (or not) on it's own merits. Hell, I'd love to be able to pre-order STLE, but I'll just have to do with sitting back and enjoying the lead-up to the big reveal.

The more upset posts I see about it, the funnier it is to me.

I've never seen people so worked up over a teaser video.

Ahahaha, they did it again.
