dude what the heck why would you bring this up? Now I cant un-see and this bothers me thank you lol
Quoted from superNoid:Nothing about FF is "heavy metal". The best description for it isn't mom rock. It's mid 90s to mid 2000s radio rock. There is no need to try and shorten it any further or dig at it any further. FF are a huge band that found most of their success on the radio and on the road. They aren't a cult metal band with an underbelly following from rock sub-culture where enthusiasts dwell.
They are radio rock mostly from 95-2005 with a few additional hits from 2005-2015. Not only did an entire generation grow up listening to them but lots of FF songs were featured in games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero (series). Millions of people also grew up playing their songs as well.
Maybe you didn't but millions of others did. This isn't a mom band as much as you want it to be.Same. If I could get a Pro with a deadpost I'd probably have already put a deposit down. But since they locked it behind the Premium and knew EXACTLY what they were doing I've held onto my money. I'm not justifying $2600+ more for a Premium for a deadpost, all the other parts are pretty unjustifiable. The only single thing that irritates me about the FF pin is that the Pro playfield has the freaking deadpost artwork on it at the bottom... but no actual deadpost. This is a clear indicator that there was at some time, indicating that the deadpost would be on all models but it was yanked off the Pro later for 'reasons'.
I wonder if it'll be possible to just put a standard post in there. I know it won't be the same as an actuated one, but it would keep the spirit alive. It'll all depend on if you can kill the auto launch ball save on the pro, too.
While the deadpost is cool, it also strikes me as something that, like the JP moving TRex or Godzilla building, could lose novelty after the initial honeymoon phase. So that's helping me feel better about the pro (keeping a couple thousand in my pocket is good too).
Quoted from Zablon:Well if you want to get precise, technically it's a robot and there's no steering wheel shown...ALSO IT'S NOT REAL.

Not on the side art.

On the cabinet side art, no one is driving the van. Because it's a toy and the band members are action figures. There's also no steering wheel on the cab art

Exactly - It’s almost like they knew they needed to mirror it on the cab and gave it a thoughtful construct 
Quoted from FalconDriver:Love me a premium with a pro tran.
Love me a pro with a premium translite. I smell a swaportunity.
Quoted from chuckwurt:The stream is over. He will save it to YT later.
Sweet ff pro stream. Pro looks like the best bang for buck imo.
Can’t unsee the car now. They could have easier flipped it and yeti just move the two figures in his program.
Quoted from Venetic:Deleted post
Thank you. I won't be responding to that person further, and I'm not going to make another post about this, but I do want to say one thing:
Pinball is for everyone.
Jack streamed the Foo Fighters Pro with 4 women playing yesterday. They were as interesting to listen to and as good players as anyone else I've seen on his stream (minus obvious standout players like Elwin). They weren't diversity tokens, Jack wasn't being "woke", he had pinball players over to show off his new game. It was a great vibe, and the game was a joy to watch. This is a killer Pro.
If you missed the stream it's worth checking out.
Disparaging moms and women, harassing people in PMs, telling people in the Haggis Fathom thread to "man up and stop being bitches" like this dork just did, that's not the pinball I'm at all interested in being a part of. Same thing goes for the homophobia I see. Being gay is normal, rainbows won't hurt you, and nobody should care what you do with your life when we're all playing together.
Jack knocked it out of the park with this game. Can we just be positive about the fact that a new designer has created a kick ass game that looks fun as fuck to play?
