Stern Tron Legacy Pinball @ Gameworks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYNAO6GkrpM#)

What do you think?

Personally it looks good, apparently modes are stackable, and it doesn't feel like normal Stern.

I do think it looks like a regular Stern pinball from nowadays. No clever gadgets, no mini playfield, no impressive DMD animations and no toys. Just the usual clear playfield shooting at ramps and targets post-economic crisis pinball table.

I'll play it a few times if I ever see it on location, but there is no way in hell I'd buy one new. My opinion is that you could buy 3 better games for the same price.

I think it looks like stern didn't hand of development to a 2 year old. Apparently artwork isn't as pixelated as normal. Zero stop and go.  I wouldn't ever buy one new, cost is too much, but a few years from now...

I think it says a lot when you would rather hunt down and play (or even own) a Skeeball machine than a Tron Pinball machine.

 There really is nothing about this machine that makes me even the least bit interested in playing it.

 Soulless, Artless, Generic crap.

It sounds great. Just needs a color score display. Those 4-color "Gameboy" animations are looking really dated.

no impressive DMD animations

To each his own man but the disc battle DMD animations looked pretty F'n awesome to me.  Plus the daft punk soundtrack music in the background is pretty sweet as well.  There is one at a local pinball arcade here in STL.  I look forward to trying it out soon.

I suppose I'll be making a roadtrip to Corpus to play one soon, though.

Guess who preordered again...

*DAMN IT!*  :banghead:
