I'm no pinball expert, but it looks very old and very tired in my opinion.

Although there might be a really challenging and/or "deep" rule set ( which seems to be of the greatest importance to good players ) , I am always disappointed with the lack of real, visible innovation.  It's like there's nothing left to do in the world of pinball production.   Whether the cause is financial or some other valid reason, it doesn't make the games any more interesting.

I kind of tend to agree a bit, I was hoping they might do more with the layout but it looks just like Ironman basically and while I really like Ironman, it doesn't make me want to played a rethemed version of the same game.  

But who knows I'll reserve final judgment until I actually play the game.

Wishful thinking. With Tron coming out this fall, if they haven't announced it yet, they probably won't have one come out. Unless TRON 2 is an Avatar sized hit that is, which is unlikely, to say the least.

I don't think that would solve anything. What we truly need is a major shift in pinball. Something to get people excited. There hasn't been a technological shift in pinball in 20 years, other than the blip on the radar called Pinball 2000.

Still using DMDs, still using standard cabs, still using the same playfield principles... it's just gotten old, and they pretty much have done everything that they is to do. We need a period of great innovation like they did in the late 70's/early 80's, where designs were radically different from pins made 5 years prior to that. Something fresh...

But... for that...

you need money.


Retiring soon...
