Quoted from xyntec:I would be in for a Tron Vault, but then with all the mods already in there
And steel ramps!
If Stern doesn't do lighted ramps I think steel would be an awesome idea

Quoted from JPloof:From a vault standpoint would make sense for Ghostbusters this year, timed with the new movie and LOTR next year, timed with the Amazon show.
Rumour is GB, completely new game, release Q4 2021. I know that a vault would make very good sense as the game was a big seller for Stern but... I am not so sure Stern are keen to vault a Spike 1 game. Time will tell.

Heard anything solid BTTF related?

Borg is sure trolling BTTF right now...
Quoted from Thunderbird:Borg is sure trolling BTTF right now...
Which is probably the main reason it's not going to be made.
Remember JAWS ... the Dinosaur pin?
Quoted from crujones4life:Heard anything solid BTTF related?
No, unfortunately not. We do have our name down with our distro for a LE if this title comes out.
Quoted from mbrave77:Id really love a GB vault with some modernizing and maybe some fixes like the flipper gap. That machine is one of the best looking Pins ever so I hope GB isnt completely new. Seems too soon anyways. Vault!
I agree with what you are saying as we absolutely love the game... but there already has been some podcasts saying the title is completely new.

I think if they do vault it, I think we will get redone animations on a spike 2 system. They’ve shown us before they will make some changes with these vaults (eg. Spider-Man). Makes zero business sense to redo the entire game. Just my opinion.

Quoted from SLCpunk2113:Whoever is saying GB is totally 100% full of shit and you should stop listening to them.
Thank god, over tron! Riiiight.
Quoted from cait001:they would sell so so so many
Id buy a NIB lotr tomorrow if they announce it. Ive owned a few of them and have a weakness for that one. That and if TZ is ever re-made..

I'd rather have a Terminator Ultimate by Hogbog @ JJP that incorporates the movies into one pin like B/W Indiana Jones. T2 is really basic by today's standards, and T3 isn't a great pin. A Terminator ultimate that lets you jump between movies could be really cool.
Quoted from Huggers:So what's the vibe for the next game? Is Borg doing Godzilla nailed on? What's Elwin working on do we know?

Question. WTF is Welk? I mean Merv Griffin, I'm all in on though.
MV5BYzI3NTkwOGQtMjFlMy00YmRlLWI5ZmMtNDBjYzE3NDNkYjc5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTgzMjQ1NDg@._V1_ (resized).jpgThe GB vault rumor lacks oomph, as a primary disappointment with the game was it’s lack of lcd screen and movie assets. So if GB was being “completely redone” it would need more assets and a crew to code it.
Not an impossible feat but also one that doesn’t fit the current direction. Lacking his detail convinces me the GB vault rumor is pure bs. So time to drop anchor and shift speculation back to a Jaws pin. Are you afraid of going in the water?
Quoted from greenstreet:Hearing Elwin lobbying for his next rock pin to be from his era. He's 49y old... RHCP?

One I had not heard of there.
Quoted from Tiki-Ed:John Borg showed Deloreans and said it was an Adam Sandler movie theme, so.....l Wedding Singer? Not too excited about that one. Happy Gilmore on the other hand
If you google Sandler and BTTF something does come up.

Won’t happen as long as Bob & Rob (creators and director of BTTF) are alive, they’ve gone on record many times saying they have been asked by the studio about BTTF4 and Remakes and their responses have been “not while we are alive” or “over our dead bodies”.
Pretty sure Bob has said in an interview his estate will also respect his wishes so there will always be a battle for the studio to remake them, thankfully!!

I think we know Hollywood is on a social justice crusade.....
Quoted from kciaccio:I think we know Hollywood is on a social justice crusade.....
I don't think its a social justice crusade, just Hollywood trying to make money as easily as possible.
With that being said, how does "Social Justice Crusaders from Stern Pinball" sound?
Quoted from J85M:not while we are alive” or “over our dead bodies”.
Kill them both ...
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Please no!!
surprised by the RHCP backlash, think it would be a great pin.
Quoted from shaub:I don't think its a social justice crusade, just Hollywood trying to make money as easily as possible.

Social Justice warriors, black lives matter, Antifa modes, with Cancel Culture wizard mode. 
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Hopefully he gets Foo Fighters.
I don't want to ever buy another NIB because I think I'm getting taken for a ride, but it'd be very hard for me not to buy this on day one if it was made.

What if Bob & Rob mellow overtime and in the future, have reversed course? Bob decides it was silly not to make a 4th movie for no reason & Rob has an idea of how to make the new movie great. So these gentlemen must use that sweet de Lorean to travel back in time to 2021 and make the 4th film. There is your plot right there. Now make this license happen and don’t change doc.

...and that's exactly how they keep selling NIB games.

Just because you don’t like Ghostbusters doesn’t mean Stern doesn’t re-run it.
Ghostbusters did great for Stern, they sold many units so it’s more likely to see a GB instead of WWE…
Also if they do a „Vault“ edition of any game. It is highly unlikely they magically add a LCD to it. First the BOM is cheaper with Spike1 CPU and DMD. Instead of Spike2 hardware.
Also renewing the license with the permission to use video clips from the show/movie is depending on the license holder very costly. Not to speak of the additional labor needed to view, cut and implement the video files into gamecode… many people of the original „non-Vault“ games would also be pissed to see the LCD Upgrade.
It‘s also unlikely to see changes in the playfield layout on „Vault“ games like a reduces flipper gap on Ghostbusters.
The only changes which might be made, is the use of enhanced parts, like the upgraded magnet and auto-plunger on Spider-Man and Iron-Man.
The use of additional artwork is possible, but in the case of Ghostbusters not needed. Since it already has gorgeous Zombi-Yeti art <3
