Looks like American Pinball’s next game is indeed Hot Wheels...

It looks utter crap! Where is the big loop the loop?

Well i was talking about what I can see of the artwork. Can't see much of the ramps and shots, but you're right a loop the loop would make a lot of sense.
The art and colours look great though - at least in my opinion. Obviously its not a great photo so I'll reserve full judgement for later.
 
Shame really, the layout looks like it would shoot decent enough, would have made a great F&F pin.

I'm not a fan of the films, but F+F would be a good pin theme.
Seeing the art closer up, it does look a bit mental - Hard to see clearly what is going on and where the shots are.
Like I said though - my son would love it! But I'm not sure 4yr olds are going to make them much money.
 
I think the cabinet looks really cool! Really eye catching!

I have to agree with the missing loop the loop though, where is it? It is on the artwork, but not on the Playfield, very odd.

I would like to play it though!

Ugh. Makes you realise how good Stern/JJP are.

would I play it? Of course.
would I buy one? Not a ****ing chance
 
the car on Indy 500 spins fast enough to shake the game. this IS just annoying
and what everyone else says. loop the loop ramp should be a given on this license
if you want a good driving pin stick to Getaway Indy 500 or even HS
 
How many Oktoberfests landed in the UK? Kinda curious to know after seeing this one.
 
I didn’t mind the overall look of the game apart from the offset LCD which I find weird placement. However when the video landed I couldn’t but help but being fixated to that annoying spinning toy which did my head in.
When it was 1st rumoured I had thoughts of loop da loops and jumps a plenty and maybe even some kinda wall of death or banked high speed ramps. An opportunity missed IMO and maybe the death nell for AP but I hope not for competition sake

I500 blows it away on 1st impressions and even HS2 has the edge
 
I really enjoyed our couple of games on your Oktoberfest @Mfresh

IIRC that was on an early code too. It felt more like a BW game than any Stern or JJP I’ve played. I like the art package, but I seem to be in a minority, certainly on Pinside.

I assume you were able to tweak that upper flipper to make the upper loop as it was a bit of game breaker when we unboxed.
