*~*THE~NEXT~STERN*~*

Quoted from RA77:
Joe Kaminkow
Has a very respectable background mate
https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/joe-kaminkow
Playfield issues are a real problem and needs to be stopped now, I don't want to spend 14k + aussie on a shit playfield, The most important part of the game IMO.

Thanks for the info on Joe.

I think Stern are past their issues and hopefully JJP are too. If you have a good distro they help you through your issues. It is heartbreaking when you get a shitty playfield, I guarantee you that but all our issues have always been resolved. Patience is key. I will not let a bit of pooling or a chip stop me from enjoying some of the best games ever made.

Kaminkow designs BTTF I want to see it first.. I would prefer a proper pinball machine designer than a blow in.

Starship Troopers is not bad. Question is, if it’s Kaminkow and Sheats, do you buy sight unseen?

Yes, we would. We have done it many times and Sheats is my favourite coder and rules designer. We can sell the game later if we do not love it.

Lyman and Elwin all the way for us. I have been thinking and If Elwin is on Godzilla we will probably be in even though we do not like the theme.

Would be a waste of talent! Elwin makes up his own rules with his designs and Lyman is a rules and coding master, wouldn’t make sense having them both on the same game.

If you are referring to BttF ? Joe K is the one that can deliver the licence required to make the project.
Hoping the Roger Sharpe is helping with assets ? as to be a smash hit... BttF will need the full gamut of assets.

You know everyone hated TWD layout when it was first released there was complaints about the ramps, the orbit feeds etc, it was the code that made TWD great not the layout.

TWD is another Borg layout that’s very good but just misses out on being great.

I don’t think so. Layout is great. But yes the code is awesome at the end. Both makes TWD a great pin, the best in my book.
Anyway, Just don’t like game with all stuff at the top of the playfield, looking for more creative.

I think the next Kapow game whenever it’s released will be Bond (Brian Eddy design, Lyman Sheats code)
Chris Franchi said on the super awesome pinball show that Joe Kaminkow commissioned him to do some work on a real life Bond car project. Joe bought an Aston Martin and was kitting it out as a real life Bond car.
The guy is obviously a huge Bond fan, it’ll happen.
Fingers crossed, can’t wait!

Probably not, but I would still want it mostly themed from the first movie (I've you could add the highway chase scene in from the second movie, I'd be down for that too).

Carnal knowledge of a women this time. > Video mode and sing along (add a mic).
Fist pump motorcycle video mode (press both flippers as fast as you can to race your bike, while pressing the action button when you can to fist pump).
Landing on the aircraft carrier video mode (use the one from NES video game, that was impossible to land). Use flipper buttons to move left and right and the action button to pull up when about to land.

Just stop it. These are all excellent ideas, of which Stern will use none. They’ll come up with some lame shit like “volleyball match” and Ice/Maverick ready-room stare down and spell “Top Gun” for Top Gun MB where you again spell Top Gun to light SJP which is collected at a fighter jet bash toy that does nothing.

Godzilla or Bond - pass initially, but if it's Brian Eddy or Lyman I'll have to think real hard about it.

BTTF - sight unseen pre-order regardless of who is doing it.

No way KME is doing the next one that would be the quickest turnaround ever unless somehow he was able to work on two at the same time, which you would think impacts the design/coding process.

I don't deny he is a creative genius I've owned 2/3 of his games, lol. Just saying AIQ came out in September and with a potential spring reveal that is less than a year between games where he designs/creates rules. He has to be dovetailing harder than I did in College, lol!

Not everyone, one a few noisy Pinsiders who you probably should not listen to anyway. Game rocks. We have had ours since it came out and still love it today. I think it is one of Borgs greatest creations and Lyman made the game a top 10.

David Hasselhoff eats hamburgers off the kitchen floor, who am I to judge? (I disliked his performance in every movie he’s made, but his tv series work is ok). If we got a Bay Watch vault, it better feature the Hoff on every side of the cabinet, backbox, translite, all playfield toys and at least 5 times on the playfield.

But as poor a movie actor Hoff is, he is in a neck and neck race with Mel Gibson’s performances, but why form an opinion? (Braveheart is probably his best role and I can’t think of any his other movies he didn’t flub up). So would a I buy a Braveheart pinball machine in spite of Gibson’s belief system? Don’t see why not if the pin was well done?
