Has the shine gone off WOZ???
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
Game didnt have any shine for me when i first heard about it and it was really just going to be another pinball manufacturer to sit alongside Stern... my interest was zilch.
Now i know what i know about the game, JJP set up etc, i couldnt be more excited about a pin im not going to get. I think its going to be a fantastic machine.. anyone who pulls out of the LE model will quickly have the game snapped up by others.. ive heard rumours of top $$$'s being offered for any pull outs.
The whole releasing info as you go along has shown us the JJP way of doing things without bombarding us with one hit. I for one am impressed and JJP may well get my hard earned for my first NIB.
I could hold out for a space themed pin to come out of JJP but it may never happen. But i do reckon that IF he does The HOBBIT then it will be done very well indeed and im quite sure that it will be a stand alone title and not seen as a follow on to LOTR... had Stern done this title then yes.... its a sister game... but the JJP way i reckon it would outshine any previous similar titles.
I might even buy one .. who knows.
Im itching to play WOZ... all we need now is the game play.. its crucial to seal the deal. The game play may well outshine the theme.. wouldnt that be a trip!
All power to JJP, i love the bling.. the set up.. the fresh display.. the new approach. For the first time in nearly 20 years we see pinball moving forward. Theyve raised the bar for Stern and given great competition and with this comes innovation and the strive for the edge on the market... in the 50's GTB had the edge.. then 60's id give equal GTB and WMS.. 70's had to be GTB again then late 70's early 80's had to be BALLY etc... each time and with each new approach the emphasis would switch to another manufacturer... GTB lost it with sys1 but WMS and Bally rose to the challenge.
The competition between JJP and Stern should bring great games from both parties as each strive for the market... its the way it should be.
And bring it on i say!
