Fair enough. How about the Premium vs. LE?flashinstinct wrote:The one with less shit in it is the pro
The layout kind of reminds me of No Fear, which reminds me of F-14, which reminds me of Terminator. Steve Richie has 1-2 playfield layouts in him at best.

Re: Stern Announces Star Wars Pinball
How long before people get tired of the same cookie cutter layouts? Time to look at the old SS table varieties again.
Pins: Spirit, Centaur II, Af-Tor, Avatar, Embryon, Timeline, Baby Pac Man, SkyJump, Night Moves, Split Second
Gone: Space Station, Top Score, Flash Gordon, Solar Fire, Haunted House, Fire (x2), Vector, Bally Playboy, Tropic Isle, Beat the Clock, Blue-Chip, Disco, Punk!, Lightning, Time Fantasy, 8 Ball Deluxe LE, Double Dragon, Stellar Wars, Alien Poker, Panthera, Elektra, Blackout, Black Hole, Black Knight, Silverball Mania
WTB: Medieval Madness, Rush
Its better to have played and lost than never to have played at all.

Re: Stern Announces Star Wars Pinball
The game looks fast, lighting looks great, music is obviously great given the source material, graphics are decent considering how their hands were tied. Oh, and I really like the inner loops on the left hand side.
I was sick of Yoda by the second ball drain. Sick of the HIT THE BUTTON to explode the tie fighters after the first tap of the button. Dwight was yelling "HIT THE BUTTON" to experienced players who had to be repeatedly told to do it. Non-pinheads are never going to know to hit that button. Watching Josh Sharpe hit 8 billion was a turn off too. Easily breaking a billion on any pinball machine is just a turn off to me. Scoring is a fine line to me. Not enough points for an objective and it feels like you are working hard and earning nothing in return. Too many points and it feels like you just have to keep taking random shots to earn 50 million here and 50 million there with ease.
I"m on the fence with this game. I feel it could have been a lot better looking and unique. Instead it just feels like a rehash with new carpet and light fixtures.

Re: Stern Announces Star Wars Pinball
For the price I just don't understand the logic to even consider this game. Especially the Pro. Fine it plays fast.and there is 12 multiballs. and lots of modes...but for close to $9K you get a plastic death star with a few LEDS and you get a tie figther on a spring. Stern should be ashamed of themselves. From what I hear not a lot of people are lining up to get one. My only interest is with the prem hyperdrive but I'm not paying those stupid prices either. And then just you wait what they will release in their store that they've stripped out to make even more money. Sorry Stern not this time.

Re: Stern Announces Star Wars Pinball

Re: Stern Announces Star Wars Pinball
I call bullshit on that too because they've been paying for that development for years now by increasing the prices and reducing BOM and reducing weight of the product. In an article a few days back Jody as quoted as saying that their revenue is up 40% from 2015. I'm sorry but they saw the Star Wars theme, figured they would sell a shit load and tried to squeeze more profit out again. With the dollar in the tank and stern seeming to strip down BOM and features and increase their price I'm not buying anything from them anytime soon.
Physical material on Star Wars
$15 Plastic death star
$3 dollar tie fighter
$.25 spring
$35 dollar LCD Panel
Even the animations are less than stellar, and the fonts used feels like Arial! The danger animation is the shot of a galaxy? Have you ever seen a full galaxy in star wars....apart from the obvious reference....everything is referenced as "systems".
At least put a freaking cool toy on the playfield that interacts with the player..... nope.....but they expect you to pay
$9K and if you want the hyperdrive feature it will be a cool $12K +
But don't worry the price of the topper will be up too because of the theme that way they can fuck us up the ass twice. Am I bitter, absolutely...I really feel they shit the bed this time around.

Re: Stern Announces Star Wars Pinball
Code update, i feel better to see Stern taking care of the buyers. I would also like if they can improve the quality issues.
LE/PREMIUM V0.91 - September 29, 2017
=====================================
Fixed:
- When the last mission to complete was started, the video introduction and
instructions were being skipped. This has been corrected.
- Fixed the name of the Adjustment to change the power for the 'RIGHT' Eject
kick-out.
- The spinner holo display effect was broken in V0.89. It now animates
properly.
- If a higher priority holo display effect was being displayed, each spinner
hit would extend its display time. This has been fixed.
- Fixed the fork ramp driver to properly move in both directions as needed.
- Fixed the fork ramp test to use the in-game driver.
- Fixed R2-D2 tag line in instant info.
- Fixed the interaction of the fork ramp and left inner loop awards. You will
no longer be able to complete left inner loop awards by shooting the right
inner loop or dribbling the ball over the ramp.
- Fixed the default number of balls available in Hyperspace Multiball.
- Fixed how and when the balls exit from the Accelerator during Hyperspace
Multiball.
- Fixed how the Accelerator exits the ball when lighting Death Star Missions.
- The right EOS switch will no longer report to be bad when it's not.
- The music for the mission Escape from Cloud City will no longer go silent.
- The orbit test will no longer make a sound as a ball goes around the orbit.
- Fixed how Victory Multiball handles grace period. If you Add-A-Ball in the
grace of two Victory Multiballs running at the same time they will now both
restart correctly.
- All timers will now pause during Boba Fett awards and total screens.
- Fixed when "Jedi Multiball Ready"starts. It now waits for multiball
grace periods in order to prevent resurrecting a multiball.

of "Fight the TIE fighters" mission. This has been corrected.
- The Accelerator test now reports the correct number of balls in the system.
- "Escape from Boba Fett" no longer starts with other modes if the final
shot to start Boba Fett is the same shot that starts a mission.
- Fixed the sudden jump in Jackpot value for Hyperspace Multiball. The value
will now grow as designed."
- Changing the "Choose Your Path" option will no longer kill the "Shoot Again"
sound effect.
- The small display no longer shows the incorrect background after MATCH.
- If Escape from Boba Fett and Death Star Missions are both lit and its the
last shot to start Escape from Boba Fett, then the ball will correctly be
retained by the accelerator and then be released when the start display
effect ends. Also the missions prompt will not start.
- Fixed some confusion at the end of Hyperspace multiball and Death Star
missions are lit. If you quickly shoot the left ramp the ball will now be
retained and you will be prompted to choose a mission.
- Attract mode no longer shows the incorrect data for REPLAY LEVEL 4, if
enabled.
- If REPLAY LEVELS adjustment is set for anything but 1 or 4, and you use the
left flipper to navigate backwards during attract, the wrong background clip
is displayed when showing replay level 2 or 3. This has been corrected.

Re: Stern Announces Star Wars Pinball
There are many great moments in this pinball for Star Wars movies fans and one of the most impressive imho is the lightsaber duel. Complete immersion with the original music create with pinballbrowser.
Lightsaber duel start at 9:15 but whole video with all original music is very impressive.
