Since the rumours started circulating over 2 years ago (possibly longer) I have been thinking White Walker Multiball would be awesome and the artwork on the machine could look exceptional on both playfield and cabinet/translite artwork.

This gore type theme may impact on future "The Walking Dead" sales cause it's also a Dark themed pinny but hopefully it won't. Side by side, Game of Thrones and TW Dead would be awesome.

I think JJP sales of The Hobbitt will suffer badly cause that now is "old news" and feels like an old title because it has been forever in the making whereas the Game of Thrones is going to be seen as a "new" pin.
Sterns marketing strategy of releasing artwork only a few weeks before production starts is a better idea of releasing details 2 years prior to an actual machine hitting the showrooms.

Stern Pinball seems to be on the ball of late. Stern continues to give the public what they want.
At around $7950 the Pro pricing is still very affordable and attractive.
So many great titles to add of late. Been great fun adding n playing Sterns.
Great title coming out again is keeping a lot of people in the spending mood.
Well done to everyone who wants one of these Game of Thrones titles.

That would be great to see Peter. A few weeks ago I played an ACDC with an LCD instead of the DMD.  Obviously the ACDC graphics were designed for DMD animation but the difference was huge between that and the LCD. Love to see new pins with LCD as standard. I wouldn't want to see them to big though, current DMD size is fine by me.

Yeah I'd love a color LCD in my ACDC but at $700 wow :) yeah LCD say Frankenstein DMD size would be good to :).

OMG!!! Game of Thrones! Theme. Check. Designer. Check. LCD? Total missed opportunity if they don't go colour on this one. Most rumours saying it's another game with red dots. The modern digital world is in high definition colour and Stern is still pumping out machines with red dots....and another price rise?

Awaiting photos now.

Not a big fan of the show, but the theme really could work well, particularly with the King designing it - might be a hit! Hopefully they throw away the Photoshop for this one and give us some nice graphics too.

Should be a solid title. Not sure about lcd. Stern would again need to change their production line which would cost dollars and they havent long changed it anyway. 4 titles with the new angled design? Plus stern always have a budget and something added always means something else taken off. I could give a crap about an lcd if it means less gear on the pf.

I was a late comer to the show. All my nieces and nephews are massive fans of the series. So I started watching it when it was airing season 3. I had to watch the first series 3-4 times as it was so scattered. Many plots and subplots didn't make sense until I kept watching. I really enjoy watching this franchise. There's a lot of depth to the series, and I'm hoping that translates well to the game.

I hope there's no photoshop on this game. Because it is based on the characters, I feel stern may well stick to photoshop.

I think this will be a winner.
