Quoted from Chicoman:
I might as well set Pinside ablaze now. Played some Willy Wonka at Pintastic and I'm glad I didn't pre-order this one. Either the demo models they have here are beat up or the game is just flat out boring and the shots and gameplay seem FLOATY. I've heard some people complain in other threads about code for the game......not much to it IMO. Also the build quality of the demo models are lacking. To top it off Wonka doesn't even make use of the animated backglass. I hope that's not a sign of things to come from JJP. IMO Dialed In and Hobbit are still their best......I know Pirates will probably become the most valuable because it didn't sell as well as the others but it's a great game. I cant say the same for Willy Wonka......it just feels......BLEH....and for $9500 + tax and shipping the gameplay shouldn't be BLEH. Buyer Beware......its just not very good.
I spent 30 minutes with eric from jjp, who is an awesome guy btw, and he explained the display and some of the depth of code. Almost everything on that screen means something, just like for pirates.
They do use the animated board, you just dont know how to read it yet
