Quoted from wlf_:

I'd agree that Stranger Things is on a different level than say CSI. But it is an interesting comparison to say 24. I feel like I remember pretty high levels of buzz and some fandom and such on that show way back when. It's relevance went pretty south pretty quickly, and today as a pinball theme it is pretty meh.
Stranger Things has a better outlook to age better for sure... to me, it does feel like the buzz and excitement is peaked there a tad. Still ton of appeal. Rick and Morty may be a bit fresher at the moment? Both are cool properties
If they nail the design and make a great playing pin, itll stick around. Heck BSD is a top five for me and that theme is the biggest head scratcher

R&M will last much longer than Stranger Things. The first season was one perfect story. Then it was a hit and now it feels like they have to keep pumping them out. At some point we'll follow the gang to college? R&M is a cartoon where nobody ages and there are no story arcs to start/stop. 10 years from now Morty will still be 13 or however old he is...

what is "another" interactive upside down ramp? Was there a first?

#575 4 years ago
Quoted from aingide:

Details!  
GENERAL
* Layout by Bryan Eddy
* Code by Lonnie and Mike
* Artwork based on Netflix illustration style
* Fan layout
* Flow, progression and shot balance is designed to feel like MM or AFM
TOYS
* Demogorgan head bash toy up the center with drop targets in front.  Supposed to be Hawkings lab with the portal to the upside down
* Projector under the apron that "transforms" playfield objects!  So ramps, standups, drops and other elements on the playfield change based on the location in the mode you're playing (Upside Down, Will's house, wherever).  There are even scoring elements projected onto things (like numbers on drop targets).
* Upside Down is random hurry-up mode.  One of the kids flips into the upside down and you need to hit shot(s) to bring them back.
GAMEPLPAY
* Half a dozen multiball modes
* 3 staging areas to hold the ball
* 40+ modes, designed for longevity in the home
PREMIUM/LE
* "Telekinesis" ball lock up left ramp (multiple balls can "stick" to the backboard via magnet, like 11 pinning the demogorgan to the wall)
* Demogorgan toy moves

Sounds incredible. I hope all the elements come together. With this list it sure sounds promising!

I think it looks like an awesome Brian Eddy game.

#2273 4 years ago
Quoted from branlon8:

looks like a nice game. Nice the way the designer Mr. Eddy has kept lots of his signature elements.

Totally guessing but I think Stern hired Brian Eddy so that they could have a game with the same ideas that made AFM and MM so incredibly popular. AFM is one of the great multiballs in pinball history and this game seems to have that same feeling. Graphics on the display look clean, stylized and clear/easy to understand.

I think this game has real promise for home/location but way too long playing for competition.

Quoted from TomGWI:

Rick & Morty 1. Stranger Things 0

It would be interesting to see which people posting negative comments on Stranger Things also have a place in line for Rick and Morty.

#2285 4 years ago
Quoted from TomGWI:

I find it interesting people think this game is special when the layout has been done a trillion times.

lets start with you. Are you on the list for Rick and Morty?

#2296 4 years ago
Quoted from TomGWI:

He thinks I’m bashing Stern because of Rick and Morty. Which is not true.

I'm not saying you are knowingly bashing Stern. I am saying that psychology does come into play here and your opinion is less relevant than say, someone who did not recently (days ago) commit $8k to another title.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

It’s Christmas. People been cooped up in their homes with relatives they can’t stand, stressed out about any number of things. Their teenage niece keeps arguing with them about politics. Mother in law on your ass. Grandpa won’t shut the hell up about some Fight he’s having with his neighbor.
And of course the holidays can put people who don’t have any loved ones to commiserate with in a foul mood too. Hey, shitting all over Stranger Things is better than suicide or a mall rampage, for both you and society at large.
Plus - and this is a huge factor - this is the first chance the Rick and Morty cult has had to dump on a new release since they paid $1,500 for a game they won’t see in two years and haven’t seen a stream for yet.
It’s a perfect powder keg for over the top hatred. It doesn’t matter WHICH game was released, these rabid jackals we’re going to tear into it like your alcoholic uncle into the egg nog. There was more pent up energy here than the sexual tension between Diane and Sam at the cheers bar. And it had to be released!!!
As usual it’s representative of nothing. stranger things will sell like gang busters both here (the upside down) and in the real world, which pinside remains completely out of touch with.

Damn, when you're right you're right! 100% correct.
