The Pinball Show Episode 114: I'm Confused, But Is It Really The Drugs? Hosts: Dennis Kriesel & Zach Meny - Doctor Said I Need A Backiotomy - Stern James Bond 007 Updates & First Impressions
Highlights
- James Bond code shown in leaked gameplay videos appears to be in early demo state with simplified multiball mechanics and minimal audio/callouts, likely held back by licensing approval requirements
- Stern's official James Bond livestream reveal is scheduled for October 18th at 6pm Eastern on Deadflip streaming channel with George Gomez and design team
- First-run James Bond Pro editions will go to both operators AND homeowners in November 2022 release, not just operators as in previous two years
- Chicago Gaming Company's next game is rumored to be Pulp Fiction, already in production and potentially debuting at Pinball Expo in Chicago
- Christopher Franchi initially rumored as artist for CGC Pulp Fiction but has refuted this claim on his Super Awesome Pinball Show podcast
- Stern's James Bond marketing rollout appears to be hampered by external licensing complications rather than internal Stern failures
- Elwin's 60th Anniversary James Bond game is expected to have very strong secondary market performance due to limited production (500 units) and Elwin's design track record
- Pinball market values rules depth and code quality more than toys/mechanical features when justifying game pricing and purchase decisions
- Zach recently underwent back surgery (discectomy) and is recording this episode 3-4 days post-surgery while heavily medicated on painkillers and muscle relaxers
- Prior to surgery, Zach could only stand while playing pinball for approximately 45 seconds before needing to sit down
Notable quotes
“I'm so juiced up on painkillers and muscle relaxers. I really don't know where you are anymore.”
“Yam Cam. You got a fucking Yam Cam out here filming this game. Figure it out.”
“It looked like a vertical slice demo that video games will do where they'll take a bunch of pieces of a game, and it wouldn't be what you'd actually encounter in the game.”
“I almost believe, Dennis, that they have much more code already done, But that is, in fact, waiting for license approval.”
“I think people justify value in a game on rules more so than even toys and mechs at times.”
“I don't understand why we're waiting until the 18th for their official live stream when this is out for people to get to experience live somewhere. You know, none of it makes any sense to me, Zach.”
“It's got to be a license. I don't even want to talk about it anymore because it's kind of boring at this point.”
“I think you still probably get at least 1,500 out of it, right? I was thinking at least 1,000.”
“Craig Bobby, if he was an ice cream shake, he would definitely be... Butterscotch.”
“I don't like sitting on stools. But at night, yeah, when I'm down there playing, I couldn't, prior to surgery, I couldn't maintain a standing position longer than 45 seconds or so.”
