Then perhaps they have found a loophole. Interesting. Thanks.
I have the same issue. Unable to access the Phantom of the Opera table on PS4 at all despite having paid for the Season 4 Pro Pass.
Add Indy 500 to that list and you've got my wish list. Here's to 2015!
I'd love to see F-14 and WCS from your list, wouldn't mind Road Show and am praying for the lighting upgrade to hit PCs sooner rather than later.
Xenon shouldn't have even been in the poll :/
Extra balls are actually smaller than the regular ones because steroids.
Certain someone said:The WWE is pretty much ice cold right now from a business perspective. Make no mistake, they're not going out of business anytime soon but they've had some real miscues from the business side of things and appear to have no interest in creating new stars outside of their top pick, which is Roman Reigns.
They launched the WWE Network, which is an amazing deal for wrestling fans: $10 a month and you get oodles or old archived content as well as all their pay-per-views. Since the ppvs by themselves were over $50 each, that's great...for fans. However, you just gave away a TON of your biggest revenue stream.
The bigger issue was they were telling shareholders that they were expecting upwards of four million subscribers. As they only get about four million people watching Raw on a given week, this was completely absurd. More laughable was them claiming that over half the citizens of the USA had "an affinity" for WWE. Seriously, every other person you see on the street? They're a WWE fan! They've been able to get about 600,000 folks worldwide to subscribe, so yeah, those numbers were completely overblown.
They also were promising enormous TV rights fee increases to shareholders. This made sense as every live event show has been getting ridiculous increases, even shows that get 1/10th the ratings WWE does. However, that didn't happen, as no one wanted to bid on something that gets borderline advertisers. If you watch Raw sometime, see how many car ads there are. Answer: zero. The WWE fanbase is a lower income group...which may hurt Stern's efforts to sell machines. Now that said, I know folks that will spend thousands of dollars on memorabilia, so there are folks out there who will buy it. How many? No idea.
I will say that I think it will do well on route. I have fans that hunt down WWFRR machines just to play on location. Yes, they still exist in the wild.
The little I've seen of the design of the machine has me interested. I have very little interest in current roster outside of a few guys they don't deem worthy to showcase, but apparently the LE version is all legends...which will be very interesting.
Who was that source? I recall reading it on Pinside, but can't remember who said it (but their name didn't stick out). Nate's most recent C2C episode discussed WWE quite heavily, and he offered some solid insights as to just how popular WWE still is and why it as a pinball theme isn't such a stupid thing.
maybe you can explain why Congo, Rollergames, The Shadow, Johnny Mnemonic and No Good Gofers are so highly rated and coveted to me then
I was more illustrating a point to him, sorry.
The one's I was speaking about: Johnny Mnemonic, Theater of Magic, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Wrath of Olympus, America's Most Haunted.
Theme alone *can* kill a game, yes. The difference is that today, the market has changed. People don't go into arcades anymore, so they need something that would sit well at home... that's where the boutiques come into it. They have more of a focus on the home market, whilst Stern still tries to toe the line of having themes that work both well in arcades *and* home.
I'd say there's a small chance... depends on how licensing some of the actors would go. I know Tim Curry is featured on there (I think?) but no idea who else. I'd hope we'd get The Shadow before it, though.Oh, how I'd love to see Congo in Pinball Arcade
Man, that's still insanely good considering people actually play pinball in your country. What state are you in?
Dem tournaments. I'm so fucking jealous! Compare that to mine:
Yup, but thankfully the scoring will change. They were disincentivising multiple tourneys at the one location by granting lower scores for each sequential one, but that only resulted in encouraging year-long tourneys with fuck-all points at the end (considering). Now they will be giving decent points per event regardless of where it is (still done based on quality of competitors though) so I'll actually get points monthly rather than a handful of year-long ones at the end of the year.
I bet that includes Australia. Not that it matters, I'll just play with the updated lighting on PC.

I'm sure it was posted earlier in the page that Season 2 had some licensing issues in Europe and wouldn't appear until the retail S2 disc is on sale. I think that's what the story was. Either way, it was pulled from the PSN store in EU (and probably AU as well :/).
