IM Rules Update - What would you like to see add.......

[swinks]

Yes like the post heading this is hypothetical, but with IM3 coming out soon they may not do another re-run but would be cool if they could do to cleanup / improve. You never know this could be our chance to make a awesome game into a absolute killer game.


Please Lyman  


Things I would like to see is -

1. Instant Info - hold the flipper button down to see how may hits the drones, whiplash and war machine have to be hit - save the guess work.

2. Maybe like the Tron latest release do a 12 ramp Extra Ball ???

3. Maybe as a fun feature but challenging is during the monger fight when he is up and when your up to the last 2 lights / hits ????, Iron Man is running low on power so either of the flippers can't be held up longer than one second - and this could be a turn on and off feature.

Who knows they are giving a few good updates lately and why not at least dream - enough interest and could get the experts to tweak possibly even encourage a re-run.

Share you software rule ideas.

Here is what a few pinsiders added to my thread there.

4. a different sound for drone hits.

5. handless skill shot - make the right lane without hitting a flipper button for the skill shot, make it worth 2x what the one now is.

6. postless skill shot - hold the left flipper to disable the post. Fire the ball in and if it spins the left flipper and then does something (I'd vote Whiplash) immediately next, have it be worth something.

7. attract mode flipper sounds - I don't think it has any. Love these.


Hey CC what do you think, as you know this game inside and out and have played alot of games, any tweaks you can think of.

Some great ideas there Jady.

I would like to see Do or Die Multiball made a little easier to obtain for us mere mortals.

I am a big fan of combo shots and combo scoring too and would really like to see this incorporated into IM.

I agree with the DoD maybe in link with a EB where the achievements carry over as it could be viewed as the ball extension and give a little more hope to achieve.

I have seen a few trailers for the next movie and looks great

come on stern, we know you want to do it, here is even a alternate translite for a re-release, maybe in the re-release instead of the monger you could have all these IM drones mode coming out of the water (pop up section of the playfield).

IM 3 looks outstanding!

Ben Kingsley as the villian!!

 

IM is the Marvel hit no-one at Marvel ever really expected but this character is going from strength to strength and it will be one of the great all time Marvel heros and the one( along with spiderman and dc comics batman ) that the kids will remember for a long time to come when they are older.

I doubt there will be a re release and that is a very cool thing!!

just reviving an old thread, still with some hope of a code option .....

Well I just got back from watching IM 3 in the Titan cinema in 3D and it is fricking awesome, different to the other IM movies but definitely better than number 2 and probably better than the first but different as it is a very different story approach and even though 3D is cool I think you loose some clarity of some of the scenes and so much going on, you miss some of it, but if you liked 1 definitely see it and if you sort of liked 2 but not won by it you will love this one at 2hrs and 10minutes of action, humour  

As for rules, I reckon that could take the current IM pinball and rebadge some of the game possibly the War Machine and turn that target into The Mandarine, keep Monger as he was important in IM 1, then keep Whiplash as he represents IM 2, Drones is universal for IM 1 - shoot to kill, but in IM 3 the drones could turn into the IM dr??es (don't want to give the movie away too much), The IM targets could stay as they are but each time all seven are completed maybe he is powered up for a battle. Then maybe the game can be goals achieved in order and no reset at each ball.
Goal 1 - buildup IM > completes Mk 1 (Goal 1)
Goal 2 - defeat drones > completes Mk 2 (Goal 2)
Goal 3 - defeat monger > completes Mk 3 (Goal 3)
Goal 4 - defeat whiplash > completes Mk 4 (Goal 4)
Goal 5 - defeat the mandarine > completes Mk 5 (Goal 5) - to defeat the drone targets be hit 'X' amount of times ???? as these are the helpful as IM dr??es for the important battle
- large shield flashes during a battle and is permanently on at the end of 5 Goals for a wizard mode

IM - 7 target strength build resets at next new ball at the battle you got up to therefore gain the strength and then go into battle (centre of the playfield and at target), a war machine plastic changed out to a mandarine one, and a glowing mandarine action figure.

code 1.6 could be for the guys that don't want to upgrade and code 2.0 could be the IM 1-3 upgrade with some vinyl overlays and plastic and action figure, so new dots and a whole new game play. You could even download the code trial it and if you like it purchase the upgrade parts - sure there would be someone to do mods for this to happen.

Awesome movie, Stern do a upgrade to the current code and do a upgrade to capture IM 1, 2 & 3, please

interested to hear peoples thoughts, especially after seeing the movie and owning a IM pin.

Totally agree, watched it at the cinema yesterday and enjoyed it much more than Avengers.

I have contacted Stern previously and suggested a revamp of Iron Man. Just think there have been too many super hero pinballs lately for them to consider it.

The 3d in IM3 is a complete waste of time, see it in 2d for a better movie experience. Awesome movie though and well worth checking out.
I hope Stern never re-release this title.

I didn't have much choice last for the times available last night as wanted to see in 2D, but great movie.

There is always a choice, go and see it again in 2d.
The 3d fad is pretty much dead.
