Yepper! Even though I dont want a toy Jet on the game. . . . I want Sentinel or Magneto moving the ball something EPIC and over the top!

Magneto for sure will be doing something with that disc unless its a "storm" like effect? Who knows Bub! all I know is I want some dang pictures! I really hope all the dots on the DMD are custom and not taken from the films. The custom dots on AC/DC look great, but I am not a fan of the convert video to DMD images. This game needs custom everything and stern better deliver

Please Stern pictures tomorrow!!!! and please no movie tie ins. I want unique dots, SFX and VO for this one with comic ART! if not I aint buying

MNpinball does this mean no DMD film footage taken from the films? I hope so I want special dot artwork on that DMD! especially since this is the swan song for the DMD era

well that said it! custom it is!

yep, I agree if this is done right it can be great! can't wait for some pictures

I like the IJ4 captive ball scoop, Wonder how the spinning disc with magnet will work? since magneto is in the back I am guessing the disc is for Storm. Wonder what magneto does when the balls are locked? Magneto multiball! be cool if there is a toy that actually picks up the ball?

I think he is a great designer. I own JP and Tron and love both games. I look @ that single blue print image and can see the flow and shots that it may have. Just looks like this is going to be another killer fast, ramp, combo heavy game! count me in!

Love this theme song but we will see what they come up with. I am sure the music will be more in-line with the films high action like.

I just keeping thinking how good this game is going to look next to my TRON! side by side ..........ahhhh where are the pictures! Lets go bub!

What kind of interactive toys will be on this? all that has been speculated is Magneto magnet and spinning discs, but what other toys can me matched with characters and there abilities?

yes, I was thinking the same thing with this. I hope its not like 2-3 characters get cool toys and the other characters are left out with something very simple "hit the stand up Xavier targets" or something each should have a good role in the game. Has anyone played the Zen studios virtual pin x-men? its actually pretty good and has a very well integrated theme

I do 2! its one of my wife's favorite games and when people come over to player everyone loves that game. Maybe not the best rules, but it is fun to play

I don't think we are going to see any pictures of this game until next week, but I can hope!

Thank you! more pictures please insert is totally for optic blast

As soon as the "where are you playing pinball this weekend" goes up . . . . that is pretty much it for the day! So looks like next week mutants

Nope I was thinking this last night when I was playing. I hope this has good call outs and well integrated audio to match the balls movement and shots.

really? do you know this from a good source? oh well another week to wait. Good things come to those that wait this game is going to kick ass!

I think we should get this thread to 1K posts before we see X-men pix! now that is doing something constructive : P

I would hope a high quality montage of characters

I would really hope, the back glass and side art is a total "montage of characters"

I always loved how Capcom posed the X-men!

x-men_group.jpg

I hope not, I want to see large group shots. but maybe it will be one main character in the middle of each surrounded by everyone else. I was looking @ my Judge Dredd over the weekend and the playfield art is fantastic if Kevin O' Conner did that 15+ years ago I can only imagine what this game will look like?

Anything with Scarlet witch on this game is a MAJOR BONUS! mostly likely it will be all the more popular characters that have been in the limelight of the newer films.

I agree, this game is going to sell like hot cakes! From everything I have heard about it, it's going to be a fast combo beast! exactly the way I like um like TRON! Very happy for Borg and his team and wish them all the luck on this game I for one am in! pre-order locked in!

Great Day one of E3! I will be so busy, but will be checking my phone for updates

Totally this I am sure will be a start of one of a multi-ball mode

Sentinel heads .............. Master MOLD Sentinel initiate 1, 2, 3 "BAM! the sentinels pop up"

Factory ramp protectors would be nice though

WOW is this for real? that will be KICK ASS! the BSD backglass looks great in person

Just got back from E3 and all week all I was doing was waiting for X-men picts! I am very happy with what I have seen. Need to see the game in action and how those Nightcrawler targets and moving ramp will work, but I got my order in for a Wolverine LE! I also played a couple games on WOZ @ the show and really enjoyed the game, but alas it just aint the theme for me. What are peoples speculation the moving ramp? hows it work?

How does the 3rd ball lock work on the right orbit "phoenix" is there a post ala spidey that come up to push the ball into the magneto ball lock? I can see how the balls get locked on the other two lock shots, but not that one. thoughts?

ok that makes sense, can't wait to see this game in action!

I hope that playfield mechanics tie into whats going on, on the DMD and SFXs. That is one thing I really like about Jpops games, like in CV when a ball gets locked by juggler or tight rope. The action on the playfield matches what you are seeing on the DMD.

Here is the pictures from FB today, just posted for all to see. Seriously need some better photos and some video soon

Xmen04.jpg

Wow........... this game looks better every time I see it! going to be even better when its delivered to my front door!

is the spot light on the bottom right sling gone on the LE for the moving ramp?

Wow! reading those rules and seeing all these new images I am very happy I pre-ordered this bad boy. Can't wait!

what exactly is the "multi-color GI" in X-men? I played WOZ @ E3 and the changing LED colors are pretty sweet. Any ideas what to expect on X-men?

I see so there are 3 colors "red, blue and white" when the game calls it cycles on and turns on/off the lights in question. wonder if this creates more lights then a normal stern game.

That is correct, he does a kick ass wolverine! we have our final VO session with him this Friday. I will ask him, if he did VO for the X-men pinball machine.

Here you can hear Steve as Rioichi Cooper

Did anyone else just see a picture of a couple programmers standing next to a machine on Sterns FB page? I refreshed the screen and it was gone.

Deadpool is one for sure

Interesting, I played AC/DC BIB a couple days ago and noticed how crisp the DMD was. I noticed it for sure. AC/DC looked Red like it had a filter over it.

I noticed this as well, its not bad but I did notice it. How many new games use this display?

I hope its stuck to the back of my next "pin game journal"

Thanks for the photos! How was the lighting in person?

Looks like when the magneto multi-ball is started all the light change to the red GI only. with the 2 colors turning on/off for modes this can be really cool. If this game looks as good as AC/DC I will be happy. was blown away how great the lighting on that game looked in person.

A couple of our team members are heading down to the show. I told them to play it, take video and pictures I am curious who will buy it after the show? I remember a couple years ago they sold the floor models for IM after comic-con was over.

I knew this was going to be a tough shot. Also Stern should add a nightcrawler % toggle in the settings, so the user can tune how often they want the mode to appear. Since this game will get code updates we should start an X-men code request thread on here? Or maybe Stern will just read this thread.

This all sounds like early code, I hope. We need to start a code request and rules thread for this game.

Good old Nolan North! man he is in so many games and such a fantastic VO actor. He does 2 voices for our game. The Deadpool game looks interesting, I can't wait to see highmoons new Transformers game. I loved the last one

Cool thanks for sharing, whats that little comic? is it a full nice manual?

Numbers are used to signify the specific plastic part and where it goes. Not sure why they always make them so visible, but ya really cant see them.

This is a good list. I just hope they make things achievable, TRON is perfect. I can get to sea of simulation, but not portal yet and I feel rewarded. I like stacking modes and have a strategy for what to start and when. Modes are completed fast enough to make me feel like I am progressing and being rewarded. TF is nuts, and a pain in the balls to complete a single mode. Play it twice to complete it.......... really play it twice to hit the 12 shots! hahahaha I love the game, but I need a faster reward.

I really hope so! This totally made my day also Love the game it just needs a bit more code love.

Seriously! every game should have this I do the same thing. kills me that TF still has nuttin! please add this stern. I think Shadow has the best flipper button sound clips.

Congrats! Zucot and I are getting ours delivered Friday. Can't wait

jon talbain wins! man I want a new darkstalkers I have Marvel Vs SF in our cab @ work and we play it like crazy.

So what bulb is everyone using in the magneto spotlight? I put in a super white cointaker bulb and it melted : P its high power so what bulb are people using that works ok and looks cool? thanks!

Thank you! I ordered these bulbs and we will see how it goes thanks!

Totally agree Greg! more stacking the better and it adds more strategy! I still really don't like starting magneto every time @ the start of a game though. I like choices on how I want to start each game.

This is a good idea. I don't like starting with mags multi-ball all the time either and I agree that it may be a pain in the nuts to rip this all out of the code. Stacking villain modes with mags multi could be fun.

Mumite and I installed a bunch of star posts around the slings / lower half of the PF and it seems to have stopped the blue bulb on the right from getting knocked out (and the white one
On the left.)

The added width from the star posts seems to do the trick. Full credit to him, it was his idea.

Some pictures and the 4-LED bulbs in the pops from pinlife look great. I always like to color match and adding star posts and white rubber make the game look and play even better.

IMG_1279.JPG IMG_1280.JPG IMG_1278.JPG IMG_1281.JPG

Better meaning adding Xtra bounce with the white rubber. The game is already fantastic! I like the feel of white rubber to a game adding more bounce. I keep black rubber in the high traffic areas like the pops. plus white looks better

Hey all, to the people that have moved the wolverine toy. Does it make making the beast shot easier? Mine has the X belt rotated a little to the left and not lined up to the magnet.

thanks for any info or pictures if this widens the gap a bit. it's a tough shot to make, but that is not always a bad thing.

Wow. . . . 1.2 code makes this game incredible I can only imagine what other refinements stern will do to make X-men a top 10 game. very well played stern and the x-men team having a blast with the new code : )

Greg I 100% agree with you, its just plain embarrassing
