Does anyone else think the upper playfield was supposed to be Slave 1? It is shaped vaguely like it, moves like it, and would make a lot more sense overall. My pure guess is that it was designed as Slave 1 but had to change for some reason (licensing maybe?). Depending on how it's integrated in the code, it might be an interesting mod exercise to change it. Not meant as a complaint, just an observation.

The game looks great to me so far. Can't wait to see footage and play it! I'm really glad Dwight is on it...he's probably my favorite programmer. I hope he goes slightly easier on the hurry-ups than TMNT and SW, but overall I can't wait to see what he does here! Amazing art too...every package is awesome. Very well done. Not to mention most machines look better in person than in pictures, so I can't wait to see this beauty!

I really do not mind the helmet, and complaining about adding target lights to it is a little silly. It's pinball...not a sideshow replica. I think it would have been cooler as Slave 1, but the helmet is fine.

I kind of wish Grogu and the Razor Crest would have their sizes swapped, but that's also a really minor complaint. With how popular the character is, featuring Grogu that prominently will definitely pull in players that may not have been interested otherwise. I'm interested in seeing more of the prem/LE magnet in action. It looked to throw it around pretty good in the shots we've seen so far. If there is no lane change, that could make lighting them all pretty interesting. Gives it a more random bagatelle feel than your typical lanes. I appreciate that since lanes are kind of boring and overused normally.

Just speculating about Encounters. What if they were not limited to JUST upper playfield shots? It would be cool if you had to hit all targets, then drain to the main pf for a few shots, then back to the upper to finish, or something like that. I'm thinking along the lines of Stranger Things Demogorgan modes. Yes, they are focused on the center toy, but some of the modes incorporate other shots in between. Five Demogorgan modes, and they all feel different, even though they are all based around a single shot. So hopefully all three Encounters will have a feel of their own, and maybe even incorporate different shots. That could add a lot of depth and mitigate the concerns that it's just a few stand-up targets on that upper. Just thinking out loud...

That is very interesting. That mini-pf is definitely something I need to play before deciding what model I want. Honestly it looks more fun with only one flipper, but tilting is a heck of a trick. Varying flipper power makes that an even more interesting trade-off. Of course there is still the matter of that scoop ramp being a pretty big prem/LE add...

There are two types of movement...linear or rotational. Pitch/yaw/tilt/spin/etc are all rotational movement. If it is going around an axis...I don't care which one...it's rotation.

Holy hell this place is getting more ridiculous by the day.

I wouldn't freak out too much yet. Code has the modes pretty fleshed out already, but is still obviously early. History tells us the A/V usually gets added to and tweaked later. My guess/hope, is they concentrated on the "needed" call-outs first, and will fill in with a bunch of "atmosphere" call-outs pulled from the show later. Just breath, it's very early.

You know what has even less to do than Munsters? Iron Man. Yet Dwight gets crucified while Lyman is worshiped.

Both are fun games, despite their shallow ruleset.

Now then...what game are we supposed to be complaining about?

I have to admit...that pro upper pf looks a little more fun to me with the nudging and only one flipper. The tilting is a cool trick, but honestly seemed like it might be more frustrating than fun. Biggest thing I would miss on the prem/LE would be that scoop ramp, but that shot without the ramp looks so fun I might not miss it. Can't wait to play!
