Pretty cool to hear Tim talking about the 2112 wizard mode.
Sounds like it will be epic and love that it's a challenge mode as well.
Really good idea doing challenge modes.
Have fastest times to complete on insider and it means average players get to see more of what they paid for 
And it's going to use time machine to get to 2112.
How about starting it and everything goes black, flippers dead.
Then the time machine comes on and boom, it's off to 2112!
Quoted from Rarehero:There's different types of depth, though. There's depth like LOTR, which is more story/mode based & is a bit more organic for the player to understand....and there's tournament-scoring math-chess calculator depth, which is confusing & boring for many of us. I just hope this game has enough "Pavlovian moments" & isn't 100% about knowing how to move the beads on the abacus.
Agree.
Why is Iron Man so good? One reason - the 35 million countdown jackpot.
The brain/player needs big rewards to trigger reward centers in the brain.
Intermittent reinforcement is the most powerful motivator and in tons of video games, but seems lacking in many pinball games.
Or just plain old positive reinforcement.
Put back 'wow' moments into pinball games.
Vacation jackpot in WH20 - fantastic example of rewarding a player with lighting effects, big scoring etc, and a big 'wow' moment.
BSD. 10, 20, 30 million - another 'wow', big reward.
Wayne Neyens, Gottlieb designer really understood that the more you reward the player, the more times they say 'I was so close, maybe next time', my more coin goes into the game!
I am/was interested in Rush, but going to wait and see how scoopgate pans out.
New games that look worse than 30 year old games is not a good look, especially in the world of crazy prices.
Quoted from Black_Knight:Stern also publishes the rules. Thiers's may be easier to print out.

Completing the 6 modes sure looks tough, especially La Villa Strangiato!
Still not sure what the double scoop adds to this game though?
Looks a pretty solid ruleset with plenty to do.
Is this the first game where the LE has been set up easier?
Heard outlanes easiest on LE and in middle on the pro?
Stern making a differentiation between games going to collectors and those going on location?
Quoted from PinMonk:In that case I'll see if I can get a replacement service button block from Stern under warranty. The ones in it SUCK. Also, the cabinet wood is really ratty. Seems like there's been a cost reduction there, too. Crazy on an "LE."
Not a fan of cost cutting by stealth.
How much can we take away before anyone notices or complains?
Inevitable with a huge backlog of games at the moment.
I swear translites have got thinner, more transparent over the years as well!
I love Stern games, but I always have to cross my fingers that I don't have a lemon.
Quoted from PinMonk:I asked Rayday in chat on one of the live streams he was offering tips on and no answer. So, that's not good.
Scoop has been a real downer for this game.
It was hot on my wish list, but it was supposed to be a positive feature and its anything but!
Gonna wait to see how the game is after next few updates.
Quoted from swampfire:Normally I would agree with you, but something has changed recently, especially with the parts department. The initial tech support is still fine. I had 2 node board failures, and I got same-day responses, and they sent orders to the parts department for me. But I’ve been waiting a month for one board (QR reader), and almost a month for a node 10 board for Rush. They don’t share tracking numbers when they do ship, so you have no idea when things will show up or where they are. I’m still a Stern fan, but it’s frustrating, and I can’t even talk to a person there anymore. I bought 5 Sterns NIB and I own 8 now. I hope things improve soon.
Can't we call Stern tech and speak to a human being anymore?
I always got good results when I could actually talk to someone.
Disappointing if its email only.
