Ghost Busters - 2016 - would you get it

[pinsanity]

It would be like having the underplayfield magnets on TAF permanently operating.

At least with traditional slings there is an element of predictability to the ball physics particularly when in such close proximity to the flippers.

Should have had traditional slings with the magnets that only operate during certain modes - e.g. Scoleri Bros.

Thats the final product?..Its a late April Fools joke surely?

Stern manage to make passing a current through a coil more complicated and less effective... absolute genius

[pinball god]

Don't think that's the final product. Done via test mode. It would be like tz magnet testing and throwing a ball past it on the mini playfield.

If that's not the final product then the video should never have been released to the public because in all honesty, the reaction and non reaction of those slings is absolute shithouse

Sterns advertizing department should be sacked
they are hurting the company

remember the video for Transformers that featured the designer playing with a transforming toy that never made it to the finished product?

The Facebook comments state that its the 1st code tested.  So definitely not the final product.  Seems like they were testing a mode that has a central magnet that throws the ball back into the slings.  I expect 'normal' sling mode the central magnet would not operate.

(By 'central magnet', i mean what ever is grabbing the ball from between the two slingshot and throwing it back to the slings.  It could simply be one of the two slingshot magnet itself is activated a second time to pull the ball back in - I can't see that being set as normal operation.)

that would be Jody and he is supposed to be a professional marketing guy, but you have to wonder, as for why they released this am guessing pinsiders started to stress and speculate about the delays of LE's but giving old footage doesn't help

there is 2 large magnets between the sling shots infront of the slings so bounce back or pass over

[pinball god]

Simple answer to why they released the video is I guess because they can.

+1 re pinside, those guys are whining girls there. I think I have lost a good part of my life reading their dribble and speculations.

FYI when I state dribble, the GB thread on pinside has hit 10k posts on a game that hasn't even been shipped. I think I could have said all that had to be said in 10 posts not a thousand fold.

Stern logic...

Sterns inhouse advertizing department should be sacked
they are hurting the company

When they used to contract out their advertising to a third party (Media House LLC of Chicago) they could put out a decent looking professional product such as the promo ads they use to run for a while for each machine release.

These days Stern's in house advertising basically consists of a manchild with an iPhone walking around the staff offices or factory floor, adding inane commentary and then uploading it to facebook for all the social media retards to tack their dopey comments on.

It's the basis of Pavlovian classical conditioning.

Stern have long since known that their fanboy demographic are simply very easy to get salivating.

Dunno if its only stern. I'm sure a lot of people here have purchased when a 'sensible' person if figure you are alluding to wouldn't fall for such temptations. I'm guessing, based on no factual study, that the majority here have a mortgage. Now how many pinballs at exorbitant prices could they buy with the savings in interest had they used their current pinball spending and put it on their mortgage. In my case, once the GBLE hits my shores, that'll make it nine (my collection).

I think we should all collectively admit we are irrational in this hobby. Irrational people are not the smartest people. Also remember continually telling people they are going to fail doesn't make them feel great.

No doubt it is hurting their brand. They just keep digging holes for themselves.
