Stern announces Avatar as their next title...
« on: July 19, 2010, 05:12:20 PM »
From RGP.

Cabinet art has been released;



Would have much rather seen ACDC! Not that I am in the market for a NIB machine so I suppose I don't count!

So is this layout done by SR going to be in the game?

I don't mind the theme at all - although I agree is a bit late. It should have been released at the same time as the movie. Imagine the marketing potential for Stern if it was ?

I don't think we will see an AC / DC pinball. Royalties to use the band's name and image would be cost prohibive unless the members were pinball fans thenselves - like Guns'n'Roses..

I think big name titles being produced for STERN and pinball in general is a great thing.

How many people liked Avatar at the movies - millions. Not my cup mof tea, but if the pinball looks and plays great, which i think it will, I would look at one.

IT MIGHT BE THE NEW COLOURFUL VERSION OF CIRCUS VOLTAIRE !

Brand recognition is whats its about and when people see it onsite, espescially family types and younger people, they will probably love it.

The artwork looks great and i reckon the playfield will be unreal.

I am waiting with a positive outlook towards  this one !

I remember seeing that on his site ages ago, I forgot about it and thought it was canned

Game will be a success for STERN... the movie smashed all box office records and the pinball will be VERY popular... with a title like that many will be tempted to sink a coin and have a game. I cant see how Stern can lose with this one.
yes i know the movie is kinda old now and a bit "ÿesterday" ( i fell asleep during it)  but ACDC are MUCH longer in the tooth and so yesterday that they should have an dedicated epitaph not a pinball.

Mark, had you asked Stern if they chased Toy Story??

Guys, regardless of what Stern brings out to the market place, there's the same common issue of "lack of support" in the coin-op industry.
I guarantee you won't even see one on site in Melbourne (this doesn't include Bumper Amusements & PSP).

when I spoke to Gary I did say how well I thought Shrek did as a remake of Family guy  , I said for me I wouldnt keep a Family Guy but have 2 Shreks
I asked if they would do this again and the answer was yes ... as for toy story  now that would be a great title . time will tell

and seeing a Avatar  on site  I can confirm yes there will be one as we have already sold one for site use

will advise of location once I confirm it if you like
