Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Myself and others enjoy looking at the 27" JJP screen at times during the game (especially during those big game moments that are in all JJP games), easily viewing goals / progress, and seeing HD high quality graphics versus basically static images flying in and out on a majority of Stern games.

Lol, you can’t resist blasting Stern at every turn. A small 27” you’re referring to as a big screen monitor??? Always thought pinball is what happens on the playfield, not the up and away back-box...screens are only small window dressing that few ever look up at, unless the ball is stopped and then only very briefly. How is there ever time to look up at a JJP 27” screen with all the multiball centric gameplay anyway??? Stern figured out the ideal balance for those few moments.

Lol, JJP big screen moments: are you more interested now in watching TV on JJP backboxes than playing pinball??? Like looking up to see Judy Garland’s movie clips with another actress singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow” with Judy’s lips out of sync in WOZ or POTC generic 3 sec movie clips, with no actors from the movies, showing only still’s of actors at mode selection or WW actors lips moving with no sound or voice from the movie...could go on and on with JJP unimpressive very few assets 27” back box examples...you mean those kind of big screen moments??? Lolololololololololololo. Too hilarious!

You know. For me this thread became worthless. So much speculation and so little information. I find myself searching this thread on a daily basis but it always comes back empty with lots of irrelivant posts.

I surely hope it will be a good BTTF. If it's mandolorian (and that title came falling out of the sky for no reason at all), I will give it a try but will be dissapointed it's no BTTF.
If it's a band pin I will surely skip, I really hate band pins.

Please add "Stern Trigger Warning" if posting something like that! Comments like that will give some people a heart attack here.

There's nothing wrong with the Stern LCD screen size but they need to step up their animation game or at least be more consistent with offering high quality animations across all titles. The animations for TMNT come across as PS2 era (even Zach from SDTM hammered on that and he's a Stern distributor), same with Avengers AIQ. Animations for Black Knight are much nicer (probably their best) but why isn't that the norm from Stern?

Stern’s dot game was stronger than its LCD game. JJP is undefeated when it comes to this stuff. It’s not even close.

Agree. I'm sure Stern could match JJP in the animation department if they spent more money on that area. The "You don't play the LCD" type comments I read end up coming across as excuses for cheesy animation work. At first I was bummed that Ghostbusters didn't have an LCD but it probably worked out for the best as the dot work in the game is awesome.

I find the stern LCD much better than JJPs. JJPs is better in attract mode and to observers but the size is too big to easily glance at with your peripheral during gameplay for me. Not to mention the stern LCD is much sharper and contrasty than the cheap JJP screen. I agree that the animations are inconsistent, but their best stuff is great... Jurassic, Deadpool, Star Wars, etc all have awesome animations

To each their own. Have never had an issue with glancing at a JJP screen during gameplay. The JJP screens are all broken up into quadrants / areas for the games different objectives. Stern has tried this to some degree but I find it harder to read due to the much smaller screen.

Good point on Deadpool, Stern did a nice job with the animations on that game. The 8 bit style animations look great.

The so called quadrant is more clutter than effective. It confuses any visitor I’ve had play any JJP game. They always prefer straight to the point of Stern’s. Screen size is a non factor playing pinball. Eyes adjust and really don’t know the difference in screen size. It’s all a spec illusion you keep harping on. It’s like telling someone how great your 65” TV is and they are completely satisfied and don’t see the difference 3 minutes into the movie on their 55” inch. All being near the same in the minds eye. Stern’s is not harder to read or you must need stronger glasses. Lol

Lol I'm not even reading your posts anymore and it feels great. You cannot accept any criticism, even if it's constructive and includes compliments, against Stern.

Me neither. Lol. I think delt31 might have two accounts.

Lol. No one is here saying Stern games suck but there are a handful of Pinside members that take it that way when reading any criticism towards Stern. Stern makes great games that are fun. Does that mean they are perfect? No. JJP is no different and has had some serious issues again with playfield issues (yet again) with some GNR playfields.

Stern makes good games. Their LCD work and integration is weaker than JJP’s. I can’t believe that’s even debatable to some. Of course Stern could improve. They elect to invest elsewhere. Like in pieces of couch fabric, for example. Choices man.

#17465 2 years ago

I just can't, I just can't, i just can't believe that JAWS is still yet to be made!

Always thought a good candidate for JAWS from a previous Stern could have been The Sopranos. Had the boat and the Safe could have been the shark etc.
owell, still waiting!

Suppose you are not considered to be “no one”. Bash away on Stern, they can take it, they’re big boys. But can’t you keep it to the topic of this thread? Stern’s next title? Let’s take JJP talk to a JJP thread.

Hopefully today we will actually have some news for Mando! Maybe a teaser. I'm either buying that, a Stranger Things Pro, or TMNT premium next.

Think you’d be happiest with TMNT, as it has a lot of ball interactive toys. The layout is amazingly fast and one of Borg’s best ever. Knowing your style, think that would be up your ally. The only thing you might not like is the screen, lol.

Ok, how about this:

“oh man, what if it’s ‘Downton Abbey’? Or ‘Masterpiece Theatre’! Grail themes for me! Take my money now Stern!”

Or:

“What if Stern made some of the parts, like coil stops, out of an actual Delorean (!) on an SLE model? Oh man, INSTANT BUY from me!”

How’s that?

That is quite good and like your last two suggestions. Most of all, who wouldn’t want a Delorean themed pinball machine?

See we can get along lol. I had such a blast playing TMNT on location a few weeks back, was not expecting that. The game feels loaded like a 90's Bally Williams pin. Code looks great too.

Whew! We are finally talking just Stern here and thanks for coming around and understanding this is all about Stern and no other company. Will be glad to join your comments in JJP threads, about JJP. Look forward to it and glad you like my comments so much that you read them all. We are fast becoming long time friends now. Lol Agreed, it does feel like a fully loaded B/W game and the code is very deep. Think the game is so underrated and should be a top ten game for sure, even top 5.

Thank you!! I will have to squeeze a GnR in there too, when it finally arrives. That said, I would be stoked about a Rush machine as YYZ and Limelight currently plays on my MET (thank you Pinball Browser) and last year, just before the pandemic I organized a Rush Day for my kids: I found (wasnt too hard) the childhood house of Neil Peart and Alex and Geddy's Neighborhood, so visited those spots, Lakeside park, another park named for Geddy and Alex and ended the tour with a drive by Geddy's and Alex's residence... Big Rush fan. RIP Neil

I laugh when people say this . What , you don't have a neck or eyes that move ?
You have plenty of time to look up at the screen when you hit the raps , catch a ball , lock balls or whatever .

#17489 2 years ago

Although we have all seen this t-shirt design from a long time ago,strangely coincidental that Stern did just tweet this yesterday... 5-3-21

"Rescue or Destroy" To me it sounds like you are the shark aka Bruce modes / missions as well as trying to kill him aka Amity characters chief Brody, Hooper, Quint etc...

"Artist Zombie Yeti brings this art to life!" Also sounds like Zombie Yeti will be the artist on the main playfield / cabinet.

My wife said the same thing when she saw Dialed In & Star Wars. Most of the LCD work has a 90’s PC CD-ROM vibe.

Nah, Dialed In is better then Sim City 4, that's the 2000's.

But yeah, "CD-Rom" Vibe describes most Stern games pretty well.
I'd argue that BKSoR is better and AIQ even worse then that.

#17498 2 years ago
Quoted from Rarehero:

My wife said the same thing when she saw Dialed In & Star Wars. Most of the LCD work has a 90’s PC CD-ROM vibe.

Personally I think Dialed In has the best animations in pinball, especially the phone character animations, but that's just me. Much better then 90's CD-ROM.

I still think Dialed In by JJP and Black Knight SOR by Stern have the best animations from each company. It's a bit ironic that both are also original themes, I think that motivated each company to do a great job.

Stern: Historically doesn’t release games based on anniversaries, movie release dates, or (made up) holidays.

Pinside: Mandalorean is being announced May 4th because a podcaster who is wrong as much as he’s right said so!!!

Stern: No announcement May 4th
