Amazing how quickly GOT has been forgotten about. Less than 3 months of sporadic production is one hell of a short life cycle even for a Stern.

Even Trudeau in the earlier posted interview said he was concerned the early publicity would negatively affect sales of "the title currently on the line".

Now looking at all the new buyers for GB that prediction has certainly proved correct.

For myself I will be picking up a Premium this time around (once the code has had time to mature properly).

I'm a fan of the GOT series and I'd really hoped for a lot from that pin but it didn't really do it for me in the end. Could have been my first NIB purchase too but the overall package fell short for me.

On the other hand, what I have seen on GB is looking fantastic so it's no wonder many have skipped GOT in favour of GB.

Code is already looking good on this game, it can only get better from here.
The kids loved the gameplay video, so it will be another game we can enjoy together.
Looking forward to the Prem/LE video.

In the case of GOT, you really had to opt for a Premium at minimum to get the full pinball experience since the Pro was missing an entire playfield. Even Ritchie himself alluded to that fact in a video podcast. Perhaps that was why Stern pushed out code updates for the machine in such a short period of time to make up for lagging sales from distros?

At least with GB that contrast between Prem/LE and Pro has been kept to a minimum and the sales interest across all three models is indicative of that.

To me, GB looks more like a B/W than a Stern
I have said it before, B/W made pinball worlds
Stern makes pinball machines,

Does this mean just as many mods for GB as for CFTBL.  &&

Got time on your hands?  Here is a 2 hour gameplay video recorded from a live stream this morining from the Stern factory, by Dead Flip.  This is the Pro model, with a similar stream for a Premium or LE to be done once the model is available.

yes have a few mods lined up

the video shows some very cool features and already alot of code - remember star and bacon, along with 9 skill shots

the game play, music and sound effects are all great - reckon this will be a great seller and like some of the other guys said it doesn't look like your standard Stern - very full looking, can only get better with more code.


great to watch Dwight play being the coder
