As mentioned in the above announcement from deeproot, myself and other guests gave feedback during and after the event, and I definitely agree that postponing launch was the right decision.
Quoted from benheck:PinBar is stupid. It's ugly, uncomfortable and shows a very Boomer-esque misunderstanding of why Millenials and zoomers enjoy location pins in the first place - BECAUSE THEY'RE MECHANICAL AND RETRO.
In fact i'd argue pins would become more popular on location the FURTHER from a cell phone they get, not CLOSER.
It really is dumb. The whole thing looks like a virtual pinball cab. The touchscreen looks slapped on with wide metal framing. I like the idea of having some sort of modern interface connected to a game but make it an app that can be used on a phone or a tablet. I don't want to tap on a touchscreen to activate a magna save or interact during a mode where a simple push button would do. Touchscreens are everywhere in our world. No one was clamoring for a touchscreen.

Quoted from Daditude:Goonies is already an "insta-buy, " but what about the combative racing license? If it is Mario Kart, then I am in trouble because I will have to come up with the funds![quoted image]
Jesus man. You haven't seen anything but a poorly designed black and white text image of a movie quote and you are like "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!". Ok, I am taking preorders on several games for 2021. Amazing licenses with even more amazing movie quotes! Fuck it, I am going to take it one step further and promise these games by end of year. Take that deeproot!
Untitled-1 (resized).jpgQuoted from PtownPin:This and the cabinet redesign are great innovations for pinball collectors that are not stuck in a time warp.
The backbox is literally a retro look....one that reminds me of those retro jukeboxes that you buy at Walmart that have dock for your smartphone. So who is in the time warp?

Quoted from Viggin900:The good thing is I'll be playing RAZA for free digitally on my VP pin in about 2 years. Long before anyone hopes to recieve the game.
The bad thing is it’s virtual pinball.
Quoted from Viggin900:In 4K with nudge and animated backglass. Haven't heard anyone complain yet who plays in my league,they all left satisfied. I won't be surprised if you buy one in the next 5 years.
They’re just being nice. I’d take that 5 year bet. If I want to play video games, I’ll fire up my Xbox.
Quoted from toyotaboy:Virtual pinball 5 years ago.. sorta meh. 4k virtual pinball (has to be redone to take advantage of the higher resolution), beautiful. Watch this video and tell me that doesn't look good
It's still flat, and the ball still doesn't feel right. Doesn't matter how good it looks. Sorry not here to start a debate. Feel free to PM me if you want.
Quoted from Viggin900:Oh yeah, real or digital? Look closely at the picture and zoom in. You can't tell the difference. Even has the silk screen dots on the graphics. Its actually better than this without down sizing and taking a pixel photo causing a wavy pattern.
[quoted image]
Wow you are right. That photo looks exactly like a real pinball machine. *shrug*

Quoted from yancy:Also won't say who sent it, "but then you know that already don’t you?"
Quoted from ZNET:Equally, it's impossible to scroll through a single Pinside page without encountering maddening grammar, punctuation and spelling errors. Typos and stream of consciousness posts are certainly understandable.
However, the most common unforgivable errors seem to be:
1) using "could of" and "would of" which are both nonsensical. The correct phrase is, of course, could HAVE and would HAVE;
2) incorrectly writing "etcetera" as "ect." The correct abbreviation is, of course, "etc." Further, one "etc." suffices. Multiples are redundant;
3) misuse of "your" when "you're" is meant, the latter of which means, of course, "you are." This is clearly the number 1 error;
4) misuse of "it's" to designate the possessive meaning when, of course, "it's" means "it is." To convey possession,
there is NO apostrophe in "its." (e.g. The deeproot company is a failed venture. Its assets have been depleted.)
Perhaps the most disheartening lesson is that these mistakes are repeated by the same folks even after a correction is noted by a fellow Pinsider. The educational collapse (in STEM as well) is evidently just as pervasive in Canada as in America. The western hemisphere is badly losing the global literacy race. It's embarrassing.
Your right.
Quoted from toyotaboy:EVERY insert on the playfield a lightning bolt, every metal bracket must have a lightning bolt cutout. everything lightning bolts! pow! boom!
