With everybody seeming to like the playfield, I started thinking: We won't be playing this game for months. I hope we aren't all hyping this up so much that when we play it, we end up disappointed.
I don't think that will be the case. I'm dying to play this.
...Regarding Gene rolling the balls out, I prefer that to the balls being shot out - it looks smooth (almost an EM speed feel). At a slower speed, you have some better chance of catching the ball or playing it directly. I've never liked having the ball shot at the flipper at high speed. I'm often caught glancing at the DMD as the ball is shot out.
Good post BB. Waiting for the games to arrive in Australia is like waiting the night before Xmas. Can't come quick enough.
