+1.

I'm jumping through the vidcast at random trying to find a spot where they actually shut up for more than 30 seconds so we can hear a decent sample of the game audio with no irrelevant commentary drowning it out.

The fact that Stern's marketing manager is right there urging him on to keep talking drivel doesn't help.

Seriously you nobs are there to sell the pin, not yourselves!

pretty sure that is Jody Dankerberg

The fact that he has chosen to structure a two hour vidcast talking about random garbage over the top of their latest offering rather than talking about the features and benefits of the game itself (Marketing 101) speaks volumes.

yes not a fan of Jody, and not a smart move on Stern's behalf when the game has already copped so much negativity - you got to wonder what Steve Ritchie was thinking at some of those times when Jody was carrying on, even live twitch watchers were saying to shut up.....

My initial dislike of this title is changing slowly.
Had some High definition photos sent to me from the USA and the game looked 5 times better than the low res photos floating around on Stern and various social media sites.

It's good Stern are happily taking on board feedback and are making some changes.
Apparently the Premium is going to be very different again but shld be more attractive.
The high res photos I got of the LE game and it's back glass were amazing. You could really see the detail.

The translite on the Pro was good as well but the content was still a bit boring.
The content on the Pro,s artwork just seemed rushed.

Can't wait to see this title in person.
Thanks for sharing the various links above guys.

Cavey, any chance of sharing the pics, or is Stern still keeping them under wraps?
I enjoy Porsche, Gibson LPs, Bally-Williams & learning about pinball maintenance & restoration.

Ironman was said to play like an EM when it came out.  Years later it became a vault edition.  Maybe we got it wrong here? !@)

It looks damn easy to play, that's for sure... it looks ridiculously easy to backhand those ramps.
I doubt it will stand up to decent players, I am confident a decent player or better will tear this game apart.
I predict some huge scores and long ball times on this plank when it lands.

I'll never get back that 2 minutes of rubbish. Hopefully Stern remove that crap. That's how you "don't sell pinball". Particularly embarrassing that the player was carrying on a conversation about being Jewish with the other moron, while not looking at the playfield.

Very bad publicity.

the file size seems to big to upload the photos so I am unsure how to get past that.
However, only some of the photos are on Facebook and really have to be viewed on a large desktop to see the clarity and great size cause a normal size or even bigger I.phone screen doesn't do the game justice.

It wasn't til I revisited all the photos on a proper computer screen that I really changed my mind about most of the artwork. The original photos of GOT were just low res and crappy. It's still a very unusual playfield art wise to get your head around but it is growing on me.

Just have to see this game in person now cause it will probably be sooo much better than the photos.
Unusual that we are not seeing the Stern colour brochure yet for the LE and Pro, unless I have missed them.
Anyone seen or got a link to Stern game colour sales brochures. ?

haven't seen a brochure but I think that Stern may have gone from bad to worse having Jody talking crap as in the US so many people can't believe the way he acted

many people comparing it to a worse than stripped down IM, as at least IM has some magnets, spinners,kickback and a pop up bash toy - GOT just has some targets a physical ball lock that doesn't greatly change the gameplay and a lockdown button for buying gold which could be a nice new game feature.

Now you can see why no one else bothers to ask, mate.  *%*

Anyway crisis deflected and topic diverted onto the sales brochures.....
