Stern would be stupid NOT to make Walking Dead as people will sell kidneys to buy it. But I don't think it'll make a good theme. Too dark, very violent, no levity.

Ever notice on any of these 11,000 "Walking Dead next Stern!" topics that nobody has actually said what they think will make this a good game, or speculated on modes / toys?

Maybe there's a farmhouse, and you shoot the ball into it and it stays there for 11 months? Is there a mode where you slice open your mother then shoot her? Video mode could be Glen rocking out of the chair he's handcuffed to stop his girlfriend's rape.

NONE OF THIS SOUNDS FUN!

The only way to make it work (or Breaking Bad pinball) is to make a farce of it. Like a shot that makes Lori shut up. Or pop bumpers that cook meth. Or Mad Men, and your BAC is the score. But the licensor would never allow that.

Quoted from PEN:

Most people would say the same thing about trying to make a rule set and modes for AC/DC songs....but that turned out pretty good.
Seriously, there are countless ways to approach making modes that work and make sense. Also, lets not forget that Ben just happens to have a really good friend making a Zombie themed pin as we speak.... Biased much?
At any rate, I would like to own PZFBTG and TWD.

Of course I'm biased! That said, there are things about Chuck's game I don't agree with either.

As a pinball developer, it is disheartening when something like MMR, or a DMD Funhouse, or Walking Dead gets announced because you see that as millions of dollars being sucked out of the market in a heartbeat.

Same problem with Hollywood spending $200 million on a sequel reboots nobody wants, when you could make 5 original movies for that price.

Smart money would be to "split the baby" and do a hand-drawn version of the AMC Show.
