Re: Sterns next pin is....

It isn't being made by JJP or a boutique so likely will be out in a decent time line.

Re: Sterns next pin is....

Nate Shivers on the Coast 2 Coast Pinball podcast broke this two months ago. It wasn't just a shitty guess, either. He said he was 99% sure, I believe him.

Regardless, it'll be neat to see how it turns out, seeing as Uncle Gary said "NO ZOMBIES!" a while back.

Re: Sterns next pin is....

This theme should have potential as a pin. Are we to assume that it's a Borg? (Next up in the rotation)

Re: Sterns next pin is....

The Walking Dead is a huge success on our gaming floor (video slot). It's amazing to see old ladies playing it, fixated on "walker bonus" and "feeding frenzy" mulitipliers...... :?

Re: Sterns next pin is....

So I guess this kills the rumor that it'd be based on the comics? I'm a few volumes behind on those, and haven't watched the show, so no real interest in this from theme alone, but we'll see how the game looks. I think the only thing we can say for absolute certain is that the code is going to be unfinished when the game ships, and that people are going to complain about said code for at least six months :)

Re: Sterns next pin is....

I am semi-excited for this one. The theme is a great choice for me and normally I would be thinking LE, but the length of time it takes Stern to get any code updates out the door (I am looking at you STLE <shakes fist>) I might wait it out a year or so and just go for a Premium. Will know by that time if the machine is fun, they will have ironed out all the initial release bugs and hopefully have a good code update or two out the door.

On the other hand, I am weak willed when it comes to toys. If the LE looks like it has some killer features over the Premium I might not be able to help myself.

Awesome toys! Maybe we'll be seeing some MM style zombie/trolls popping out of the playfield :D

I'm pretty excited for TWD as well. I won't be rushing out to buy one mind you, but way more juiced for this than almost any other recent release from Stern.
