Seems like the game fell off the radar, have any shipped yet?
Old news. Hype has worn off. JJP missed an opportunity to capitalize. I'd guess it's still going to do good, though.
So much for announce and release.
why announce a game thats not even close to ship. ohh its just pinball and thats the way things work.
It is progressing and there does not seem to be any changes on it from the original announcement. Those who have played it on test site have nothing but accolades for the gameplay. I was thinking about it very seriously and then caught myself saying "WTF....why am I paying $9,000 for a pinball game?"
I am now looking at some older titles that do not have any of the current clearcoat problems of the new Stern games.
Ball times are way too long.
Lots of the callouts are bad.
The art is polarizing at best.
The magnets are going to wear like hell compared to stern's new patented design.
I just played a bunch at free gold watch. Not for me.
Quoted from Delta9:Everybody i know thats played dialed inn say its badass
Probably has to do with alien being released and the next afmr announcement. Plus jack doesn't come on pinside and make his own thread with constant updates. Good thing

He tried that. It was a disaster.
Ok maybe I should change that last line then

This makes all of the sense in the world.
The game has been undergoing testing on location, Pat has been tweaking it, and it has had several code updates. Will be great to hear some reviews from TPF.
So if it flops, can we say that "Pat Phoned In Dialed In"?
Heh, been waiting for a chance to put that joke out there. I really hope it's a big hit. My joke probably won't be.
"Well, that's showbiz!"

When JJP announced it, they were planning 1st quarter for production to start.
LTG : )

Couple days left.
I have a feeling it will have one of the longer lines at tpf. It will be a bigger success once it's been sampled enough in public. Like every new game, the next one is always the hot one. Where's all the GB, batman, alien fans? It's all the same. AS is hot currently, but only until the next announcement. That's Pinball.
They will probably be working on game 4 by the time a Dialed Inn makes it to So Cal as I no nobody around here that's bought or is buying one.
We have enough idiots with cell phones already.
Great game played at the Louisville expo want more Time on it for sure. It's always calm before the storm knock knock knock - also less pre order money required so less to bitch about?
Quoted from beelzeboob:Watch how fast that disappears when Star Wars is released.
Star Wars primarily, Pulp fiction, Elvira and Aliens (if it gets going on production), is going to swamp this one.
The Lcd video advantage is over now and there isn't a pro version to compete with a $5100 Stern option.
Should still sell plenty but hopefully #4 is much better "licensed theme".
Spooky seems to be the only company that announces and then releases games. Tough to get excited for games that get announced and then take years to ship when there are so many other options out there.
Quoted from iceman44:Should still sell plenty but hopefully #4 is much better "licensed theme".
It will be.
I would dial it into a Pokemon themed pin. How hard can it be? Regardless of any promises, they need to make money.
I played it for 90 minutes in Schaumburg at Level 257 and it is an absolute blast! Wait for the reports from TPF - it will be a winner.
Good game sounds like but the Theme (or lack of) and definitely the price turned most people off is my guess.

Funny how what people like can be so different/personal. Played today at free gold watch with a bunch of pinsiders and i thought it was amazing and couldnt get enough. Really loved the light show, i thought the modes were original and fresh/fun. Liked the flow..thought it played fun and fast, was worried about the theater slowing gameplay down but it was integrated well; actually, thought it was a really nice change of pace for JJP after two stop and go/slower widebodies. Cant speak to how the magnets will wear the game but they were a lot of fun and i really liked they implemented the magnets to act like wind, thought the theme integration all and all was really well thought out. Hated the theme at first, but the more i play it, the more it grows on me. Selfie mode is fun, flippers giving out if you dont make shots in mb is fun, ramp shots were fun. I would say my biggest gripe is that the art is meh. I agree with you about the ball times being long, but not every game needs to be IM or BSD.
Quoted from indybru:Wondering the same thing with Batman 66.
Where's the hype?
The hype is I am Bat Phone Champion
Nothing happened to di.... just lots of buyer's waiting for them to go into production. I think it will be a huge hit at the Texas pinball show also after tons more people get to enjoy it.
People who never played it say it's going to suck and people who played it seemed to love it (most of them).Not every theme is for everyone and no need to bash games you don't like.
Im looking forward to playing it when we have one in Madison for a week. If its anything like WoZ or Hobbit, it will be a great pin.

Your kidding right no good will come from Jack or Gary on pinside

Did you see two post down? I said I should take those last words out. Didn't realize how much of a disaster it was lol
Just changed it for you guys. I never saw any of his posts. What did he do to make it a disaster?
My Main reason for going to Allentown, Pinfest, a 3 hour plus drive one way is to get as many plays on Dialed In as I can. I have loved the other JJP projects and love the opportunity that Pinballstar gives us to test them out.

He gave Pinside his version of the Shatner "move out of your parents basement" speech.
