THE NEGATIVES FROM THE VIDEO.
1. The first thing required was someone who could actually play well, instead of a novice with lousy flipper skills. Sorry, but if u want to show off a game, get someone who can play well cause it presents so much better.
2. Then, I hate to say it, but the large LED screen is very boring during gameplay. It shows what letters u have hit etc so u know where u are at spelling RAINBOW or HAUNTED etc but nothing moves much at all. There is no action like a STERN dot matrix display gives. Even Revenge from Mars or Star Wars Episode 1 were alot more exciting during gameplay etc. It is early days, but the screen has more action sitting in attract mode before someone hits the start button. Perhaps this will change, or I hope it does.
3. I didnt like the red flipper shoe-batts. Plain ugly I have decided. Thats the first mod i would make, and pick something that fits in and store the originals in the game etc.
THE POSITIVES.
1. The LED lights look Terriffic. The audio is interesting ? But would have to hear alot more before making a real call on that.
2. Gameplay is very varied with alot of different shots with lots of cool ball returns with ramps, wireforms, pop ups via coil mechs etc, spinning house playfield, sliding monkey etc. The game doesnt look fast, but it looks like a game that you have to follow missions on and work away to achieve the bonuses and work through getting all the missions/top points etc. Its like the widebody games like TZ or Batman Forever, Royal Rumble etc, but doesnt look as fast as say Star Trek Next Generation. The ball returns are a little slow from the video, but that may change with a much better player.
The machine looks good, not great, but good. The final production model is still a little time away so lets see how she comes out etc.
Perhaps software/code updates after machines hit peoples houses/businesses will help with some changes after alot of feedback is recieved.
Bring it on. Cant wait to see the finished product.
P.S -What did other people think of the video (except for watching it sideways which also was crappy.lol) ??
