Quoted from maffewl:
Theme is a double-edged sword. It will make some interested in a pin without any knowledge of gameplay, and overlook some weaknesses. And it will make others under value a machine and ignore its strengths. This is the case even with a generic theme. Some people hate martians for example. That’s why Stern and other manufacturers look at their customer base and pick a license with the widest reach for the best value.

For me, the double edge sword, would be a game like star wars. I was really excited and the game was a huge disappointment. Code wise, it's an interesting game. The playfield layout and art work were very disappointing. It made me hate the game because I wanted more from a big name like starwars.

I NEED to know what's next. I want turtles but I honestly think there are some great pins coming.
Zep is not for me.
Jack Danger has stated that he has proposed designs/ideas to stern but thats all he has said
Jacks gots some crazy ingenuity and design skills.
If one of his gets built im in for sure.

I tend to like Steve R games and he’s apparently on Zep and next. Now that it’s a new layout vs a 70/80’s rehash I’m pretty excited for this.

That was a limited run boutique game that was supposed to ship before tmnt.

Next cornerstone is rumored to be aug or oct depending on if it’s a 3/4 game year and how this shutdown set them back.
Seems it didn’t really delay tmnt too much since they are ready to go with pro’s in June.

They should be rolling out any day now as well since they were supposed to be ready for TPF or at least I thought that was their intent.

Wonder how many orders they got for it given the high price.

I'm still hoping Godzilla is code for a monster franchise in the works. Nothing against Godzilla but I love Keith's work so far. Maiden was a dream theme+gameplay combo. JP is amazing but I dont care about dinosaurs. Godzilla would probably still be amazing despite the fact that I also dont care about the theme. Another Elwin game with a theme I'm into would be very dangerous for my bank account. Heck his themes I'm NOT into are already dangerous for my bank account.

So who is actually next?
Gomez or Ritchie?
I would love to see another game made by George. His two recent games BM66 and DP were received very well. I enjoyed playing those when they were on location here.
But with the next game rumored to be Led Zeppelin I think it actually is Steve turn.

I wonder why no one has mentioned
Grand Theft Auto 5
Money Heist
Minions
I thinks any of those titles would sell well.

Maybe we oldsters have begun to fade into the ether...but I think we come out of the shadows and pound down cash for Led Zep when it's released.

Led Zep was the Beatles of the 70's. Led Zep posters were on almost every wall. Music blasting out of car windows where teenagers were cruising or making out...

Good times!

I doubt Ritchie is up next. They generally space out his games a little more. Last time two years in between. If the decision was only recently made to make a full Pro/Premium/LE Led Zep instead of reskinning an old classic Stern, then I expect this game no sooner than Christmas or early next year. I hope I am right too; I need time to save for the automatic LE purchase if it does come to fruition.

-Gta 5, is 7yrs old now. Itll be forgotten the day 6 is announced.
-Money Heist, is a great show but a small demographic, foreign, natively Spanish and I just dont see it as a game.
-Minions, shut you mouth sir! If I have to see one more of those banana eating, overall wearing, gibberish speaking, yellow pricks I will lose my mind. Imagine dropping 8k on freaking Minions. Omg shoot me if I do that. I dont think even deadly the combo of Zombie Zeti, Keith Elwin and Layman Sheets could make that a theme worth putting a dollar into.

That decision to go new skin for Zep was last year and Steve has been apparently working on this for quite a while. There was a podcast at least 12-18 months ago where this was somewhat discussed.

It’s coming and the sooner the better!

Line will be slower with coronavirus protections at stations, etc. I've heard as low as 20-25 machines a day, at least initially, while they work out the new reality. So these may be hard to get ahold of and the Premiums may stretch into August to start depending on how the Pro and LE lines go.

IMDN was originally designed to be an Archer pin but the license became stale. There will never be an Archer pin. Very unfortunate.
