Quoted from pin2d:

Coming Soon to an Arcade Near You!! Details on Stranger Things Pinball!

Holy shit! if this is true, Charlie missed a huge bullet by revealing first and locking in those 750 games.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

I'm waiting for a "Should I cancel Rick and Morty for Stranger Things" thread.

That's the thing, they can't cancel.....without losing a grand. That's the price of FOMO

Quoted from RonSS:

Just something I've observered:
This thread has posts by about 200 Pinsiders. The RaM thread has posts by over 600 Pinsiders.
I think it's great (if this turns out true) that pinball is moving toward a more modern theme. GoT was a nice current theme, hopefully we'll get more.
As has been stated, plenty of money (or debt) in this hobby.

I hear ya, but I have no loyalty. I'll get to theme point below, but first in my opinion people or companies make pinball not only because it maybe a passion but also because it's a business, a for profit business. I don't mind if they make money as long as I get value out of it too. So I don't sweat who makes what,(sorry, just some nostalgia for Williams). I'm with the company that makes the best game and gives me the best value. I hope they get this concept too, it will help their thinking in the long run. Now with that said, I was pleasantly surprised with spooky's ACNC, and not so much with Rick and Morty.....No offence to Scott (I mean it), I'm just being obiective. I want the best game, whomever makes it. It kinda reminds of the album name "The Raw And The Cooked".....I'm a bit cooked after being in the hobby a long time and knowing what's just good and what's great when it comes to pinball for me, I saw that simplistic design and knew it wasn't for me, I don't have to wait for the game play. Now, one last point, everybody talks about theme, to me theme is the ground floor, just a qualifier, it doesn't clinch the deal with me (Ex: GB, SW and Guardians). The game has to play well, have some unique toys, or something that makes it stand out for other machines, and finally a good rule set that will give it some longevity, look at my collection and see what I mean.....I've owned a lot of game, so by now I know what I like.

Watch out, Brian Eddy is back! Lol. This thing is a like a breath fresh air....so damn cool. I freaking love it. I was so worried Stern might screw this up. Also, I thought the art would be bad, (due to DD post on FB) but they captured the look pretty well. I just hope the game play and music can live up to this pf design...I can't tell much from that short video but it looks flowy as hell. I think it's a winner, game of the freaking year people!

#1101 4 years ago

Well, the inserts probably have to do with the 30+ modes in the ruleset....not to mention they do kind of look like the Christmas lights in the show. I noticed black lights (?) above the backboard....the ramps were lit with the projection also. damn cool man.

PS: check out the spinner at the 15 sec mark :O

#1103 4 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

Lots of the old guys aren't going to get this. They complain if their playfield isn't lit up like the sun. They'll need night vision goggles to play this.

I was thinking the same thing, the sunlight bulb and Quaker Oats crowd.

I'm betting there is something behind the 4 targets....right? That's what the pinsider was saying about entering Hawkins Lab...

Quoted from dri:

Agree. Worst I've ever seen ever too!
[quoted image]

Yeah, I don’t get the hate, maybe because it coincides with other releases. As far as the art I think it fits the theme pretty good. The amount of inserts would have made having any art on this of a difficult task. I also like the layout, we just need a good ruleset to round it out.

Quoted from fooflighter:

Here's a thought. What if your shooter rod in the future was tied to a PCB board that had interactive game function that was unlocked per user account...such as opening a diverter that allowed the ball to travel only one way (and not the skill shot route) unless it was subscribed and activated.. It already exists in the JP amber rod mod, everything but the account and hardware activity...That rod is tied to CN15, it's just not connected to a paywall. Yet Interactive hardware may become a rampant thing. Side armor and legs that reacts to gameplay and modes...Stern could develop an army of plug n play parts if people are willing to pay for them...all behind a sole user software account that renders the device useless upon resale...Hmmm the $$$$ that has yet to be made...

That's fine...higher prices, less features and lower quality....the exact recipe needed for more pinball companies to jump into the market....the short term monetary gain won't keep pace with the bad will it creates. The signs are already out there, BKSoR didn't sell well, Stranger things should have been a Juggernaut title and it too is struggling....meanwhile Spooky sells out their game in half a day.

Congrats... Have you installed the parts that are missing yet?

Haha, you're a wicked mofo kpg...

#7027 4 years ago
Quoted from Yoko2una:

So Stern was well aware of the dimpling rioting in the streets to the point where Steve Ritchie makes a video saying it's common and to STFU... and then Stern makes a conscious decision to use thinner gauge ramp flaps that would create even more dimples on a 2nd type of surface???
Are they trying to blend in the PF dimples with ramp flap dimples? What's next, Play-Doh ramps?

Yeah, they can say what they want....these pfs are not dimpling like the old pfs, these are craters to use the term coined by Rarehero. Also, the idea that they blend is wrong too. There is thread about a star trek pro on location on Pinside that has over 30,000 plays on it and the pf pictures show that the dimples don't blend out, so unfortunately that theory is bogus too.
