Stern's Next Pin - TWD 2014 / 2015

[Brunswick Brawler]

Borg is my favourite designer and I feel he is underrated.  If the artwork is comic book based, it will sell well.  Its easier for a game to sell well when following a game that didn't sell well, in this case Walking dead is following Mustang.

I loved X-men, and felt that its sales weren't great as it followed the high selling ACDC, so unnecessarily judged harshly.

There should be so much that can be done with this theme, that I'd say it will be an excellent game.

Could be interesting ,pretty keen to see the Playfield and artwork .
Graphics on DMD should good ,so much material there .

I hope they go with hand drawn art.

Doubt it very much... Metallica was hand drawn because the band insisted that DD did the artwork... id be willing to place money on cut and paste graphics with heads of the TV characters centre stage between the flippers

Yep this is the candidate for photoshop galore. Too much time and money getting likeness agreements from actors and the studio. Not impossible, but not in Stern's style.

I love the TV series. But I can't stand looking at photoshop actors on games. Maybe we'll see something creative this time, would be nice if a TV theme was coupled with decent artwork.

Agreed.. the actors faces always look really lame. Not sure how anyone could live with a CSI in their line up...LOl- my worst pin would have Nicholas Cage on the BG, what a nightmare that would be!

This will be a home run. Stern keeps picking winners. Star Trek was excellent, mustang is way cool and now the walking dead. Can it get any better. Go stern. Hope to have all three titles just mentioned added to the collection once family law court is over. Yipee. Who thinks walking dead will be a big seller? Anyone wanting it already if its a good package based on theme alone. I want one. Feed the addiction.....feed the addiction...does collecting pinnys ever get boring....NOPE. Lol

For those who are not aware, The Walking Dead is an Image Comics comic book series as well as an AMC TV series.  Looking at the first photo posted in this thread, the pin is almost certainly based on the TV series (note "AMC" on the top left hand corner).

Here is an indication of how good the pin could look if it was based on the comic book series.

I think this will get added to the line up our whole family love the walking dead. I won't go an LE this time ill wait and see it first.  And I hope it's comic style photoshop sucks

I hate photoshop graphics and some actor depictions but T2 translite was ok. Demo man and shadow were tragic.

[swinks]

well photos are out and some cool features and I think they might have stepped up this time.

[swinks]

couple more

Looks good to me and a possible breakaway from the usual Stern recipe./.... nice open pops with free release.. not too cluttered and no Photoshopped actors faces between the flippers!

Title will do well I reckon
