Quoted from Aurich:Nope.
In fact I don't want a single theme that's already been done to be redone. Are we so desperate for licenses that we need more of the same? We already got a second POTC game, and now apparently people are dying for a second GNR? Whole universe of themes out there, and we gotta repeat them in the limited world of pinball, where only a handful of games come out every year?
I agree with what you are saying but I think most manufacturers want to deliver what the masses want. The days of original themes are almost dead. Spooky is the closest to delivering original themes and being successful. I enjoy playing America’s most haunted and TNA, but neither one of those have passed the thousand mark, Full Throttle didn’t sell well. JJP Dialed In is polarizing. I don’t think we will ever see the original theme’s of the past like mousin around, dr. dude, whitewater, MM, CV and many others.
If pinball has become a retread of themes I am ok with this as long as there are new pins coming out!! At the end of the day I am a homer for pinball, I enjoy playing no matter the manufacturer or the theme.
