While I love the look of this Avatar, X-Men looks truly different, new and unique that’s what’s selling that game, Avatar with what’s been shown so far doesn’t come close to the WOW factor that X-Men gave.

The press release said no price changes so I would expect it to be the same price as Elton unless there has been a significant change in the $ to £ exchange Rate.
Although Kaneda said the press release was fake, but hes a massive bellend anyway and I dont believe a word he says.
Agreed, the biggest attraction of X-Men so far for me is it looks a bit different to the usual stuff. Still need to see how it plays before having an informed opinion of it though.
Considering it’s 9am in Chicago and the reveal is the 12th, sounds about right.
They should have had this reveal done before Stern or straight after Stern. It would be interesting to know how many sales companies loose being last to the finish line.

Fate and a disastrous UXM launch will help this sell. In this case they've been fortunate Stern messed up.

The current fx rate has brought the price down a bit on this model.

I think this looks really good too! I'm not a fan of lower playfields but I don't think it's a huge problem on this.
Glad to be early to the 'JJP doesn't suck anymore' party

£11500 LE is about the same as a Stern prem? £15k CE same as Stern LE? I mean JJP are basically on par with Stern for prices.
I'm hoping this has members of the JJP team on screen as Naavi.
MAKE WAY!!!!! HEADING TO THE CONFESSIONAL!!!!!

The theme does nothing for me but it does look really nice.
And JJPs reveal video was great as well. They explain all aspects of the game so you can really see what your getting if you choose to get one.

Game looks great, lighting looks exceptional and the release video is excellent. It's nice to see a reveal which goes so deep, and it looks like the software must be pretty far along.
It's also good to see that pricing is much more competitive now that the LE is only £500 more than a Stern Premium. I have four JJP games and they feel like much higher quality products than any of my Sterns.
Unfortunately though the theme still leaves me totally cold. Ah well.

Sorry, currently its occupied.
Also that topper is very impressive. Wow.

They really are a cut above when it comes to marketing and promo videos, that video was incredible wasn't it. That 'scramp' is pretty cool too, they really do push the envelope in terms of invention and chucking the kitchen sink at a game, fair play to them. But....as ever, all the blingy stuff is only great if the game is fun to play, if the flippers and shots feel good, if the rules and gameplay make you want to keep going back.
I really hope it does that because JJP get so much right but in comparison to Stern when it comes to ball on flipper FUN, have been a lot more miss than hit IMO. Super exciting though, 2 incredibly inventive, incredibly exciting games in the last few days, Pinball is awesome.

isn't the scramp the venom ramp though? Apart from 5 standups and a lower playfield there doesn't look a lot to hit except ramps.
Jack didn't look well, hope he's ok.

Looks very polished doesn’t it? The theme really doesn’t resonate with me but there’s a lot going on here.
Not as sold on the two lower playfields. Especially if it uses smaller balls. The one in Munsters was awful but the ball appears to be bigger than that.
Compare this with Stern’s Avatar and you can see why competition is good for a market.

The last week is a case study in contrasting launches.
UXM: amazing trailer, everybody losing their minds figuring out how it’ll all work, LEs sell out, all followed by a gameplay stream of four mildly disinterested blokes in fancy dress making their game look actively worse than it probably is
Avatar: potato quality leaked images, zero hype, questions around screen shots of a chipped scoop, followed by a super high production value video which shows and explains their ridiculously tricked-out and beautiful machine and topper which actually does something useful (!)
