Quoted from Pin_Fandango:Who are the designers and coders of wick?
Elliot Eismin is the designer. Tim Sexton on code.
Quoted from PinMonk:Do you have a mechanical engineering degree? Because if you do, I'm sure Stern would like to underpay you while you live your dream. Apply today!
Best I can do is bachelor of digital art.
Quoted from VoodooPin:After my disappointment with John Wick, I really hope the next Stern is Dungeons and Dragons. If not then, 2024 will be a Pinless purchase year.
I think it's just Metallica and then nothing until the start of 2025.
Quoted from honkbahh:Zach Sharpe said it was Randy.[quoted image]
You are correct! I was thinking Jonny Crap.
Y'all got to head over to the John Wick hype thread - "gun gate" is in full rant. It's like Jaws not only refused to eat the ball, he also refused to be drawn holding a gun.

I actually thought Wick looks like a good game. It's always hard to tell how well a game shoots (Ahem!), but it looks like it has nice flow and some cool new touches. Not in the market to buy right now, but I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a test drive on location. Venom plays better than I thought from its video release. Same with Jaws. Both will likely take a turn in our game room at some point. Wick could, too.

Sharks need weapons on their heads for warm meals and cruelty free meat
Quoted from beltking:I love his art did an awesome job but side got held back by no gun rule which sucks.
Wait no guns in John wick????
Lol wtf I am out.
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:Wait no guns in John wick????

Yeah , w/o guns there is zero point to this license. * If true - I have not studied the game to see for myself
Quoted from TheLaw:Bruh, soooo much AI in MET it'll be the death of you.
Probably right haha
Quoted from Vino:What’s better than one MET?! … TWO!!
Onward to the NEXT Stern pin….
[quoted image]
My gut hopes it is the same playfield layout. Just add new art, LCD with band footage and old school music video clips + expression lights in cab and speakers. Jukebox mode.
Basically a refresh and the NIB goodness!
That works for me!
Please don’t over think this and F it up.

Thanks, might have to go stir some pots.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Yeah I chit chat about random things with my wife. Having casual conversation with my wife... Crazy I know...
It's great she's out on an unreleased pin that crosses the T on her interests.
Quoted from woodpost:i'm not really a Pokemon fan, but i can absolutely see how integrating Pokemon game mechanics into a pin could be phenomenal. like, dangerously addictive. hit certain shots to spawn, battle, and capture Pokemon. have them be random, have them vary by rarity, and save your collection of captured Pokemon on Insider Connected, which you can access via an app to view them when not playing. can you imagine coming across a rare Pokemon after 284 games played or something, and having to hit a specific sequence of shots to capture it? and if you miss, it's gone, and you may never see it again. i mean your adrenaline would be through the roof. to have actual real world stakes (for people who actually value digital collections) tied to hitting these shots would be a game changer. it would absolutely KILL on location. and at home too, since for many people (especially families) it may actually be cheaper in the long run to just buy one. i think it could double or triple the previous best sellers, especially if Stern kept regularly adding more Pokemon and releasing special editions with custom artwork/armor.
but i'm 2 edibles deep, this'll probably sound really dumb in the morning.
This is great, get the first generation pokemons in the pin, start collecting, you play to evolve them. Sometimes you get a shiny. You can see your pokedesk in the IC app. And you can sell seassons pass to unlock other generations. You select your team of three in the IC while you don’t play.
Every pokemon you make active have different combos lighted in the shots or you get an opponent and those are the shots you need to make.
Infinite possibilities

I could write ideas for a pokemon pinball machine all day. So many things you can do, especially with IC
Quoted from marcd:Anyone knows if the Indy Raiders of Lost Ark is canned or still in development ?
I doubt it, but maybe Stern'll finally finish the last one they did.
Quoted from cooked71:Meant more to super collectors of Star Wars stuff. It’s a perfect theme for pinball collectors but I doubt many Star Wars collectors bought one.
Then who bought the thousands of Star Wars machines then?
I know someone literally here with a Star Wars "room" that bought one. She has one machine. Star Wars.
Quoted from DreamTR:Then who bought the thousands of Star Wars machines then?.
Pinball buyers like me?

Quoted from Mackpinzie:Pokémon with actual catching and trading would be so sick
If Stern actually builds this game it will bomb worse than WWW 
Wonder what songs they’ll have for Metallica 2… wonder if it’ll be a remake or a full new game. I’m hoping for Pokémon in 2025
Quoted from Whistles:It's great she's out on an unreleased pin that crosses the T on her interests.
She’d be into the pin. But if she was in a Go session, she isn’t going to stop for 5-15 minutes to play a pinball machine. She’d get the rewards and move on.
That is what the vast majority of Pokemon Go players would do. Even if you had to play the game to get rewards, they’re not worth the time.
It’s a cute idea on paper. But you could just make pinball bars and arcades Pokemon go locations. You’d get about the same conversion rate.
Quoted from frankmac:+ expression lights in cab and speakers
So you want Metallica to be a clown show as well? -No LE for me-will have to customize a Premium to not have clown show
I think it is a disgrace to add a rainbow show to WICK-almost as bad as the rainbow show for The Godfather.
Wait until the show gets old and you start to lose your taste for the rainbow
Not mention, I would be willing to bet the new Met is going to focus on the newer songs, as opposed to what we want. I do dig some of the newer Metallica, so if its a new layout, Im in.

While on the topic of rainbows, go treat yourselves..!

I have to say I feel like a one man band over here?
Seems like everyone is into the expression/speaker thing except for me? 
I like to follow my own path and not the sheep-but it would be nice if someone would agree

I won’t leave you alone on the island but do have a caveat. I like Rush expression and to pop over to JJP GNR in song mode but agree with the Godfather comment. It works somewhat on EJ but when someone pukes on a system 11 game for example, not for me!

I can't stand lit speakers. Expression lights on rock themed pins can have their place. I cringe extra hard when I see a pin with under cab lighting, lit flipper buttons, lit speakers, backbox lighting, etc... I think to myself "just like the great wall of China, its visible from outer space". My next thought is "it needs LumaLegz" 
I agree with you in this.
Having Both ELs AND speaker lights… it’s too much. Creeping into JJP glamour pin territory

If the lighting is programmed properly to set the mood to the music and has a white strobing effect. Yes. It needs to be programmed to the mood and not try to stand out. It can be programmed properly to make a very smooth “concert effect”.
I am not looking for a non- cohesive mess by any means.
Quoted from TreyBo69:But you could just make pinball bars and arcades Pokemon go locations.
TBH I'm all for anything that keeps them off of the path's in the local park looking down at their phones.
Quoted from pinmister:I like to follow my own path and not the sheep-but it would be nice if someone would agree
Agreed, 100%, that you can follow you own path!
Having said that, we're all grown-ups that enjoy playing expensive toys, so everything has to be taken with a grain of salt! Lol

Lumalegz?!!! I like your way of thinking! Lol
*****
And to get back on topic, based on my very scientific calculation (not!), METALLICA spike-3 for the win..!

Sorry but it does not matter what kind of programming it has. Speaker lights add a blinding distraction to the glass on upper playfield and they add zero value other than eye candy. Not a good move for Stern and will have me rethinking future LE models. I also do not care for the QR reader on apron and have expressed my opinion many times about that. I can see I am in the minority-so all I can do is sit back and shake my head

You might need some cardboard and duct tape.
