Jesder Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The game looks OK to me based on what I saw in the stream, but doesn't have me looking at how to fit it into my line up. I like the theme, but it certainly doesn't feel like a lot to do - despite 40+ modes. No season 3 content sadly. I had to step away from the live stream for 30 minutes (and missed the first 5 minutes), so not sure if code version was mentioned - normally they don't talk code versions on the streams anyway, but since the game is available today, I was curious if they would. Looks to me like it's still early. I'm interested to see how the game develops though over the coming months in terms of code. I also look forward to seeing the premium in action. The $200 price increase certainly isn't welcome, especially with the recent $400 increase only a month or so ago :( Although part of me thinks that has been done to put more of a gap between the pro/prem/le range and the "home" pin (I don't think that received a price increase did it?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers - I did see that figure floated around on pinside, but thought it was just people guessing. That sounds very early. Lot's of work still to be done then. I'm going to rewatch the stream on YouTube over the next day or so and see what I pick up that I missed during the live session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radirgyman Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I’m actually a big fan of the show, watched all 3 seasons and it transported me back to the 80’s of my teens. I think a big part of the appeal is the music which looks like it isn’t in the pin which is a shame. If I’m the target audience, I’m just not feeling the “gotta gotta have this no matter what” vibe like I did with Ghostbusters then Star Wars. Then again I didn’t think that about JP2 until I saw the gameplay and went coco-bananas trying to get one ha! :lol JP is the best Stern game in ages.. If not the best. TWD is brilliant as most know but JP is just WOW.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBryce0712 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Gَmez apparently had a hand in the layout... wonder how much, has an almost identical Hawkeye shot :) and Gَmez likes his jump ramps also in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorsedge Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I watched the first half of the stream ...... then ..... :boring: Later seen Cary Hardy's video, he hit the nail on the head, I agree. :sleep 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBryce0712 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I think this game has some cool innovation. Has 4 ramps too :) Without looking too rampy. Eye of the beholder I guess, I find the layout refreshing and interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinks Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) I think the constant aussie price rises are going to reduce sales, especially when one pin goes up but the price is rolled across the rest even though they are not all the high prices in the US or machines sitting as stock in Aus. Just look at Elvira LE's - better buy one quick before they sell out and 4-6 weeks later still available but still lift the prices. good example is 19/9/19 AMD sold the Jurassic Park Pro for $8850 with the dollar at $1USD = $1.45AUD now that same game on the 26/12/19 is $9450 with the dollar at $1USD = $1.44AUD bugger all change in the dollar but a $600 increase in machine cost. I have a 9 year price history thread of Stern pricing here if interested and capture Aussie Dollar and distributor charge prices along the way https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/to...elease-history Edited December 26, 2019 by swinks fixed date in red 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audioenslaved Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I would suspect they’re still doing ok but the plumet of the AUD would hurt. If it falls further it’s going to hurt a whole bunch more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Seems like a fun game to dive into the rules and progress to wizards but not worth the money for mine. I am truly amazed to see how far this thing can go. More price rises...... Again! Can we get to $20000 for a LE by 2025 ?

Que200 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Yeah mate, the official release date was 23 December but they’d been running the game on the line for a few weeks previous so by the reveal there were already games at distributors ready to go. So on the 23rd you could walk into your favourite Ye Olde Pinball Emporium, slap down your hard earned and walk out with Stranger Things under your arm. The more amazing thing is that with games rolling down the line there were no leaked photos or anything... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that’s insane hey-love them or hate them it’s a bloody well oiled machine that just keeps churning them out. Even a flop release would probably sell a few thousand through there worldwide distributor network? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridgejam Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Wow, this thread has been very quiet considering this game was only announced a couple of weeks ago. According to AMD's web site the pro lands here in less than a month. Is anybody buying one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBryce0712 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm considering one just waiting to see what the story is with the projector imaging on the pf. I think it's a solid fan layout with some cool tweaks. And a good theme. STDM have posted a semi worthy review given it's early days and make some interesting critiques. They even played it... which comes in handy when listening to someones review of the game. Maybe worth checking out if anyone is half interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to listen to their reviews but with meny now selling the product I'm not sure how unbiased he can be and bones being a good friend of his as well.
