Taking bets for new releases?

 

[Arv]

I'd take everything you read on pinside with a pinch of salt Neil.

 

[CHRIS B PINBALLS]

Lol they probably wake up tomorrow with there head in cornflakes we have seen pretty much nothing but corner stone games last year so I doubt much will change this year I see sterns production schedule regularly and it’s bs they where making more Ironman vaults 3 weeks ago now suddenly they aren’t

 

[AlanJ]

Do they make what dealers have ordered? ie what customers are demanding? or, do they just make what they think will sell and force that stock out to dealers?

I think Neil meant d00d, which is perfectly acceptable on t'interwebz.

 

[Dex-Jay]

That bloody dictionary doesn't know all about intertubes or lolcats either. Bah.

Dood is acceptable comes from the old bbs days.

 

[russdx1]

How does these dates and the containers that come to the U.K. relate? Does each U.K. distro have there own container or do all stern games come via electrocoin? How often do they come over?

I’d heard they’re looking for a big budget TV series theme- talk of LOTR Rings of Power getting made down the line if the show is a hit as expected. Wasn’t there also meant to be a SR / Gomez game coming out this year?

Still…. everyone on planet earth apart from you and Neil knows it’s dude…
carry on

BOND was a SR game, but Gomez has apparently redesigned it.. rumour is that BOND is after VENOM

 

[SteadyP]

So what do we think Elwin is on? Assuming the Gomez Bond is a Kapow / Premium LE only? Jack Danger was meant to be doing a game too

 

[Dave Bishop]

I hear Borg next layout is almost done, but no theme assigned to it yet..

Hope so, only person so far in UK interested in venom unless I’m wrong is @J85M
I hadn’t even heard of this venom character until recently, been on the planet 50 years… maybe I was reading the wrong comics as a kid ?

 

[johnwhitfield]

I was wondering what the **** “venom”was. Couldn’t really see Stern going fully early 80s black metal but had a brief moment of hope.

Guessing it’s yet another superhero yawn fest.

 

[SteadyP]

They’re going for the 80’s / 90’s kid demographic- wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a Power Rangers pin eventually; though I can’t stand it. Probably how some people feel about TMNT but I loved that cartoon and Konami game in the arcade

 

[Sako-TRG]

You know, Christopher Reeve 1978 pin… yeah
why not do this? These substitutes are just cheap ass license pish…

 

[J85M]

No surprise there, curious which old layout he has tweaked this time.

Like beetlejuice no one at stern wanted to do it, if those rumours are true. Madness!!

 

[JustLikeMe]

Rumour is that Jack is doing Foo Fighters.

 

[Deleted member 2463]

bond is a cornerstone release.
venom is by eddy but a rumour that it’s code for a different marvel game sone say spiderman remake
Elwin on Jaws or Battlestar Galactica depending on who’s made up post you believe!

on the schedule I think iron man was shelved because they pulled Rush because of scoopgate. But if nothing else atleast stern seem to be trying to plan ahead. wasn’t like that 6 years ago!

on existing games dealers place orders/interest. it’s only in new games that dealers have to take so many I believe.

BSG would be cool if it featured the new and the original shows. I'm old enough to remember the 70's TV show (and crappy films) I really liked the reboot. Interesting.

 

[Arv]

It would have to be the 70s show in a Bally cabinet.
