All right, let's kick this [ __ ] [Music]
Welcome back to Straight Down the Middle, a pinball show. This is Greg. I'm Zach. We've got a treat for these individuals today because we're going to do another game review. Greg, one that uh you feel strongly about. So stay tuned to see if he's really high on it or if he's really low on it.
What game is that?
Harry Potter.
That's right. You're a wizard, Greggy
from JJP.
Why is your wand so little? It's a grower. No,
but it's powerful. It's kind of like the little gun in uh Men in Black. The little gun the Noisy Cricket.
Yeah. It packs a lot of pop.
Is that what it was? The noisy cricket?
No, I don't. Yeah. Oh, I watched that movie a million times.
The one ride at Universal that will get your ass sick quicker than anything.
It's one of my favorite rides. Nope. One of my favorite rides. Family used to hate it. Now we're so competitive. One of our favorite rides.
It's kind of janky.
Nope. It's great.
Janky
lie. But at this point, both the main actors have been cancelled. They have Will Smith and uh Tommy Lee Jones.
Tommy Lee Jones.
I can't believe Tommy Lee Jones still alive.
I mean, he's just looked 98 years old for 30 years.
I bet he was our age looking like that.
That's what I was going to say. He He might only be 65 right now.
So, we get to review uh the game that we've been waiting for since we've been in the hobby
easily.
Are you a huge Potter head?
I used to be. I'm not as much anymore. I actually have
gummies or burnhead.
All right. No, I was I mean I loved I read all the books for like before it was super popular actually. Okay.
Yeah. And then our old house we lived in a really old house.
Mhm.
Uh it really Well, because I I always felt like that I lived in like especially when you get cold cuz it was just old plastic wall staircase and stuff. Yeah. So like I always felt like that I was living in Harry Potter world. So I actually had um Chelsea she she never came through with it. I mean, we know how that is. You ask something, it just, you know, I mean, it just goes in one ear and out the other. Wow.
But, um, she had actually bought the material. I wanted my own wizard robe to wear around in the winter. Like, I was going to wear that [ __ ] around the house.
Nerd.
Yeah. I still want it.
I still I'm going to sew my own my own wizard robe to wear around in the winter. I'm literally going to wear wear it to stay warm.
I thought I was a nerd.
And I'm going to keep my family warm, bills, or keep them cold.
Keep them
Yeah. Turn that heat down real low and wear my robe and let them freeze their [ __ ] asses off.
Put your wand hanging out.
Yeah, it's gonna be shorter than normal. It cold. That robe better do its job.
All right. All right. Jersey Jack Pinball got this license. It's going to be like an impossible license to get because it's like Well, there was always a rumor. JK Rowling. She doesn't like uh she didn't want to the bar. Come to find out that was kind of all [ __ ]
Oh, was it? Yeah, it was all [ __ ] Uh I just think it took took the money,
man. That's everything.
The rumor is that this is like a four or$5 million license to bring into pinball.
So spread across all those games, man.
Yeah. Before that, we knew that Beatles was like the $1 million license. Uh I could see Harry Potter, but I still think it's worth it.
They've sold this is this game's been out for a couple months. One month, not very long.
And they've sold a boatload of this thing.
Hinted at very early on. You you could fill Green's bank with as many of they've they sold they sold a lot.
All right. Who designed this game?
Oh, Eric Mure.
Eric Menure. So, he did Pirates of the Caribbean. He did Godfather. Uh what else games did he do? He worked on all of the other games. Yes. But which one am I forgetting?
Pirates of the Caribbean.
Doesn't.
Yeah. Thank you. G&R. Uh and then
you saw me lost.
This is the first time that usually when when Eric was doing design, it was Keith P. Johnson doing lead programming. He's the senior programmer over at Jersey Joe.
This is the first time he's worked with Joe.
Joe Katz was the lead on this game. It's still the entire team works on it, but Joe Cat's lead. And I tend to like Joe Cat's games. So, I was excited about this.
Wonka, one of our favorite games.
Uh, we'll see where this review goes. But up to this, Wonka was my favorite Jersey Jack Pinball machine. Uh, so we have that. Um, we have uh JP for Win doing the UI animation stuff.
Always magnificent. And then uh Mina Lima.
Yes.
For the CE package, worldrenowned Mina Lima,
which we'll talk about.
Yes, we will talk plenty about that. Uh but they did the CE cabinet art and they are famously known uh throughout the wizarding world of Harry Potter doing a lot of artwork for that franchise and for the uh the some of the illustration book stuff uh theme park stuff. Anything you've seen in the films that's illustrated like that. Mean Lima. Uh and then Yesper. Sorry. Ables. Okay. Look at you. Damn. Greg Bump. Yes. For Ablesh did the artwork on the Wizard, the uh the arcade edition cabinets and the playfield overall.
Yes. Okay.
Yep.
Oh, David Thiel on audio. They finally got David Thiel back. Worldrenowned audio pin uh engineer for pinball. David Thiel. He did Pulp Fiction we love so much. Uh but they got him back. He was at JJP very early on. did Alien too. I think one of the things that made Alien what Alien was.
So he did the sound package here uh with a team doing other stuff. Engineering by the great people do engineering. Uh
it is truly a team effort. Always.
Yeah. Absolutely.
Always.
And then three models of this game. Great. There was an arcade edition, a wizard edition, which is formerly like the uh and collector's edition. The arcade edition,
a new they got rid of the standard back in G&R times. They were like nobody buys the damn things. But it was very different, too, because they stripped it down. Yeah. No, it's not. Oh, it's the exact same. Well, I say that. I mean, there's a little bit cosmetic difference on there, but I mean, it's it's basically the same as the Wizard. I mean, you you got all the same shots, all the same toys, all the same mechs, everything.
Yeah. Arcade's $99.99. Below $10,000. That's what you got back there.
And then the Wizard was 12,000. The CE is 15,000 plus shipping.
Yes.
And tax and all that. Saleswise, this thing has been phen unbelievable. We have sold a lot of these games at Flipping Out. Unbelievable sales. And if you want to buy one, just go to flippingoutpinball.com. You can even email this guy, Greg, at flippingoutpinball.com. Or Ken Ken.
Flippingout ppinball.com.
Yeah, we got him from Jersey Jack.
Leave me alone.
Yes.
Call Ken.
Call. Yeah, he he worked with the company during this thing. Uh so or but the sales for the arcade still not even close to that.
No. And I don't get it. I like dude going into this when we heard that like how much did we say like oh man this is phenomenal. Like this is gonna blow everything else away because of the price point. You're getting the same game at a way cheaper price point. But like you said everybody flocked to that CE.
They did. And then even more so like the CE substantially more sales uh than the other two models. But even the Wizard still substantially more than the arcade.
Yes.
I don't get it. What's wrong? Do you guys like spending money? I don't I don't get I was freaking out because transparency wise, uh we don't make as much on the arcade.
Yeah,
we just don't. So, I was freaked out like, "Oh, no. Everybody's going to want an arcade." Not
I just I thought like there there's honestly um there's no better bang for your buck right now.
Like regardless of our review or anything, I'm like
I truly think that
there is no better bang for your buck right now with what you
Unless it's a [ __ ] game. But yes, exactly. But right now, that game is it.
I don't trust your cats.
I love them.
Wasn't Monaco a cat?
Yeah. Turn into a cat. You're exactly right. Good job.
But see,
I'm proud of your Harry Potter knowledge. Oh, man. You're missing out.
Art.
Oh, man. Let's Let's just Let's start it off with art. The biggest controversy of the whole damn release. Actually, there was other controversy, but
Yeah. Well, [ __ ] that. Whatever. We're not going to jump into it here.
Uh, not going to jump into
We're a happy show. We are true pinball ambassadors and we like to keep things happy.
Fast forward two minutes as we're talking about all the [ __ ] that this game's got for its heart. So, uh, as we talked about the opener of the show, me and Lima did the CE stuff.
Yes.
Full disclosure, whenever, uh, we sometimes privy
Yeah.
to things uh before they released,
but my goodness. And we were privy to to uh the CE and I was freaked out because I was like nobody wants that.
No, I thought the same thing.
Nobody wants that [ __ ] They want Harry Potter movie. They don't they don't want custom stories
because like what we talked like how many people are truly familiar I mean a lot of people are familiar with the book but I still think a majority are more familiar with the films. So, they're not even going to understand or resonate or get the significance of the art package. But not only that, they're probably just not going to like it because like what you said, they're accustomed to the movie.
You going to put Dam Radcliffe on the side.
Yes, exactly. Yeah, we were very
Yeah. Well, good job. That was good.
I like Rayines.
Oh, man.
That That's one of my downsides. I needed more
Ray. Needed more Ray.
I claim Ray like he's my friend. It's not Ralph. It's Ray.
Outlane Ray. I need I need more I need more outlay. But then okay, so then uh this game comes out and shocks me because I thought people were going to be like, "What the hell is that?" Cy Potter.
People love it.
But again, full disclosure though, when we when we actually saw it saw it, we were like, "Okay, this is kind of in person." Yeah. You're like, "This is kind of pretty."
Yeah. Cuz it was like this different rad with metallic like it.
Yeah.
Beautiful. Beautiful. So much so that I'm torn on CE or
I know
what is there I
Oh yeah,
I really like the CE.
You can afford the C. I think the C the gold wire forms
are a lot better. It It is more It is It is pretty
and I like the Headwig the See, I got that right.
It's beautiful. It's a beautiful game.
All right, so the CE that's the CE.
Yes.
Now the Wizard and the Arcade focus more I think they have the same cabinet art package. That's more the movie.
Yes. So, they've got the the good the good guys, the bad guys, the baddies on one side. Um,
from a composition
perspective, I really like it. I like the coming. It's kind of dark. It's kind of sinister. I kind of like that. And the good guys side, it's kind of very regal and royal colors, reds, golds, that kind of stuff. Really liked all that. So, composition wise, I really liked it. If we look at the playfield,
beautiful, too. At a at a at a glance,
I still think it is regardless.
At a glance, it's like, "Oh, that's colorful but not overdone.
The sky is so beautiful."
Yeah.
The way it melds into everything.
The way it melts.
Is that correct?
I Yes, it's correct. That's like a four beers in word. Melts.
I'm only half
melts. It's almost like melts.
Melt into I want to tell everybody. So that was beautiful too.
Beautiful.
So the big controversy here is
was AI used?
AI,
artificial intelligence, it's everywhere now.
Are you AI?
I use AI.
Okay. What do you use AI for? I use it. I want to know.
A lot of it to correct my grammar.
Okay.
But no, I think you almost have to because you're going to get left behind right now. Like I had to argue with my kids about that. Uh cuz they were like, "Well, we're not allowed to use AI." I was like, "Well, you're not allowed to use AI to write papers for you, but you need to start getting familiar with it because everything I read, you know, we keep up a lot on business and we keep up a lot on tech and what's going on." And I I think any investor or anybody in a business aspect right now will 100% tell you that you will be left behind if you're not getting familiar with with AI and prompts and everything else.
Old school days.
I do. Hey, listen. When I say that, I I a million% agree with you.
We still use paper, you and I. We do use paper for everything. I got a notepad. I get made fun of by everybody. I go out to lunch and they call it Blues Clues. My handy dandy notepad. Like I literally get made fun of cuz I've got a flip pad and it's like,
you know, I mean,
I found a clue.
It's compact. Yeah. He's like, one buddy was like, "Where the hell do you even find that?
You know what to do. Sit down on your thing."
Chelsea makes fun of me, too. Everybody just rags my ass about my [ __ ] handy dandy notepad. But you know what? Get [ __ ] taken care of. And you can do anything that you want to do. Oh, Greggy on his thinking chair. Uh, where was it going? Oh, so what are we going to have to really listen to this?
I love it.
That does not get old. That feels good, too.
It does kind of give me goosebumps.
It does. Feel like it's back there.
Yeah. Summer's gone by so fast. We're getting ready to roll into fall.
Greggy Myers. [Music]
Watch that review if you want something fun.
That's a good It became apparent
Yes. that AI was being used uh in the art of this game.
Yes.
Is that okay?
There were some defects, artifacts.
Yeah. Us us enthusiasts and hobbyists, we had to come to terms with AI being used and that was a little bit of a hurdle.
Yes.
Needless,
but scared. But according to I mean it was utilized in a way to help arrange.
Okay. So you're going
some things.
Okay. All right.
Yes. No,
it was helped.
I mean, that was the explanation
that it was all handdrawn art.
It wasn't done. So when we say that AI was used, we're not saying that it was
create Harry Potter.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, most people would know. You can't be like,
"No, no, we can't take anything for granted." So typically and what we found out, it kind of educated us hobbyists in that not only was AI used on Harry Potter, it's used on a lot of pinball machines. And what artists do is they they get some compositions using some of the reference materials and they plot out something. Then they hand illustrate over that kind of stuff. Some people call tracing, some people call Yeah. Right. There's no way it's called tracing because these artists are true artists. You can't produce that by just tracing
things. Yeah.
Yes. But it's like you said, so it it's it's an artist utilizing a tool
to help them achieve
Yeah. something more
more complex work.
And again, in today's age when you're looking at cost saving, you're looking at time frames that you need to work within, you know,
who cares? I don't have a problem with it as long as it's beautiful. No, zero problem. The problem with this is
that there were some artifacts still left that were a little [ __ ] a little AI still like a dragon with an extra little eyeball, little three-eyed dragon.
But again, it's very small. It's very small. You literally have to look for it. I have not noticed that.
I have not noticed it since getting my game. I've put over a hundred 100 plays on that game.
You got Derp the three-eyed dragon.
Yeah. And it still does not still does not in any aspect bother me. There is nothing that bothers me on there.
Okay.
And I still take time to look. It's a very bright game.
So the consensus amongst the hobbyists were like, "Wait, you're using AI and we spent this much money." And then they warmed up to like, "Okay, other things are." And then they're like, "Wait, you kind of messed this up." And then they were like, "Okay, it's really small." So I think us as a community have have dealt with this very well.
A lot better than what I thought.
I did, too.
A lot better than I thought.
I'm proud of you guys.
But I honestly I am too. proud of you guys because people tend to overreact in this hobby quite a bit. We see that from time to time. Um, you know,
and the bigger picture, did it did it uh hurt sales?
No.
Nope.
No.
No, it didn't. So, with that being said, oh, I got to tell them we just we just upgraded. We finessed our rating system here at Straight Dimension. Yes, we did. We did. So we we we just something didn't feel right around the top of our
There were a lot of B+'s.
Sure. And something didn't feel right because when you look at the rubric of GPA, you've got like a B+ is a 37 or no
36 33
33 B+ 33 a B is a 3.0 a B minus 2.7. So that you see that in C yes C plus is a 2.3 a C is a 2.0 See my
but amongst the A's it's not. A minus is a 3.7. Yes.
An A is a 4.0. And then A+ is 4.0. That doesn't make any sense. Shouldn't an A+ be worth more than an A? I researched it, Greg. It only makes sense to do 4.3 for an A+.
Agreed.
And you know who else agrees with us?
Stanford.
Stanford. Stanford University. So if it's okay with them, not and I don't know if I believe that. Uh, but we're going to go with A+ 4.3 from here on out. What we're going to do is another video in the future going through all of our old reviews and refining that our new system. Uh, and some other tweaks as well. But from now on out, A+ is a 4.3. So, we're going to go through that. So, let's get
with all of this stuff.
All of this art stuff,
you you still let an A.
It's still beautiful.
An A.
You can't deny. I don't give a [ __ ] if your dragon has too many eyes. It's still good. 4.0 at a It's still good.
Which one do you like the best? Which package?
Oh, um C.
You like it?
I really do. I really do. I mean, but it's it's all solid. But I I love that playfield. The playfield is gorgeous. Harry and everybody's so crisp. Everything is just so beautiful in that center there. The colors and everything. The way that they all meld together. I'm going to be minus almost a C. I'm sorry. Here's my here's my deal, man. I'm not I'm not hating on AI. No, it's it's it's it is a beautiful game. It's a beautiful game,
but I think some of the handdrawn artwork, whether they utilize AI or not, is not as strong as I would like it to be.
What?
You put Voldemort in the outlane, you're not going to get an A from me.
Uh, no. I need I need Voldemort more. I need like it almost felt like Simpsons Pinball Party how they tried to put every little character on that playfield and I'm like I don't give a [ __ ] about the second film's teacher of I don't care the snake guy.
You're you're more worried about the composition and layout.
Yes. I want Voldemort
battling with his wand and the colors hitting hair. I Okay, I can give you that. I get I still stand behind mine because I still think it's an absolutely gorgeous game.
I just I don't think this and sorry Esper I just don't think his skill set is strong enough for realism illustrations.
Oh it was that bad. I didn't think it was bad.
Look at Gandalf on the side of
Yeah, it's a little I
and I don't know which way you want to go. It's like well because that's how you That's not me. That's not me. Well, bro, that's not good either. I I hate to say it, but I I have to say it like you're um you're you're you're
it's just not as I like Harry down at the bottom of the flippers, but other than that,
you're being a podcast/journalist here. You're uh
Well,
you're digging in a little too deep.
Too deep.
Little too deep.
That's where I like going. I like going deep.
I just don't know. I just
It's It's good.
I like it. I think it's still gorgeous. I will stay. Something I like better. Shots and layout.
Oh, Eric Menard. G&R is fun to shoot, but
No, it's not.
It's I'll stand behind that.
The game is
I talked about on the freaking Flipping Out Pinball podcast.
Oh, what is this? You got your own podcast now.
Plugging it.
[ __ ] Wow.
Shameless plug.
Okay.
But I talked about it on there. I still don't think GNR I think that's what killed it. Like nothing against air because he still created an amazing environment.
The Caribbean shot well but still it's still not a you don't be like damn it's like a wide body. It still feels a little weird.
It's more fun than it is smooth.
Exactly. Now
Godfather
Godfather shot well.
Godfather was a step in the right direction. Yeah. But it was a step in the right direction. He was doing things differently.
I didn't think he would come up with the layout he did.
No, not at all. I did not expect that. I thought, well, let's get some check marks here because maybe we don't get
Yes,
maybe we don't get what we're looking for. But I was wrong
because I thought for sure we're going to get a world under glass. He's even with God. God, how hard is Godfather to create a world under glass and create something? So, I mean, we knew what we were going to get from that aspect
and we had an upper play field. That scared me like
Exactly. Exactly. Another GNR type thing.
Lower playfield.
Yeah. So, again, but man,
man, so much Man, guys, homeboy over here is an A+
A+ layout.
Listen, listen, there is so many shots jam-packed into this game. And listen, that worried me because there are some other games on the market to where it's like, oh my god, look at all these unique shots and look at all these things. And some reason it doesn't resonate.
Why you talking Why you talking [ __ ] about Houdini?
It's not fun.
You leave Houdini alone. I love Houdini
tight so many times.
But you see, you know what I'm saying? like this. This looks I mean when you look at it you're like [ __ ] there's stuff everywhere but it works. He cra so many good shots and there's so many satisfying shots. That's the thing. There's a lot of shots.
Lots of satisfying shots.
You're perfect perfectly said there. A lot of satisfying shots there. Even I'm not big about the outlane going in lane thing. I'm not big about that.
But it works.
But it works.
It's very fast. It's very flowy. Uh I I love this game too. Shots-wise, I'm an A minus. I think it is solid. It's definitely Eric Miner's best design. And I dare I say the second best shooting jersey, Jack, if not the
best. I think it's still the best.
It's more fun to shoot than Elton John. It's more fun to shoot than Elton John.
It is. It is.
And that and that's the thing is it's like it's not as flowy as something like Elton John. It's not as smooth as something like Elton John.
It's not as smooth. I would argue it's just as flowy.
It can flow, but it's a different kind. You you talked about it's a different kind of flow. Kind of flowy. It's very it's very weird and unique to try to explain it.
Something can be flowy without being smooth.
Yes.
And this isn't
Gomez games sometimes can get. It's a good example.
But this feels better than a Gomez.
It does. It's not as clumpy.
No, it feels better. No,
this game shoots phenomenal.
It does.
And an upper play field that I want to hate, but is probably one of the best upper play field. Like a top three upper I want to get up there. I want to try to win. I like the shot that goes
off into the ramp. It's one of my favorite shots in the whole game. Uh the even the shots like he took the main toy of the stair and we'll talk about that in a minute. The the moving stair thing
that is such a complex toy. It's supposed to be chunky and it's supposed to be clunky. Yes. Chunky and clunky. But the majority of those shots, Greg, are smooth. They're a buttery smooth. I love all of them. They are. Uh and then uh he even has up the middle shots that feel good. side flipper shots that feel good with multiple shots. Eric, you killed it. A minus. You're an A+.
The spinner off to the right, the very far right.
It's a fun shot.
Not an easy shot, but every time you hit it, you're amazed that you hit it. Some people down so low.
Scoop is hard.
I don't think it's that hard.
I don't either.
I I still
It's tough, but
I still raise my my up my upper flipper just in case. I know it's not the same shot. It's actually two separate shots because there's a behind the flipper shot that's right right behind that. see them coding that in to start a mode too though.
I could see that. Like if they just code it in just to start.
It's such a deep game that I don't think that it would harm doing it.
Yeah. Just to start the
But I don't I I have less of a problem starting a mode on this than Guardians or
or Metallic.
Or Metallic.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Like I very much that's where it's at.
It's a very Godzilla.
Godzilla's a lot harder, too.
Don't argue that that's a hard scoop shot if you if you're going to praise Godzilla.
Exactly. 100%. I think this is easier. At least it is on my game. I can hit this. I can hit this almost anytime I want.
This is such a fun game. Like,
yes.
I was worried when Harry Potter came out, they were just going to be like, "We got Harry Potter. We don't give a [ __ ] what we put into this."
But they didn't. They actually
they made it great.
Yeah.
All right. So, that's shots and layout.
Rules and code. I'm at You're an A again. Is this going to be a perfect game by Greg Bone? An A+ and an A.
I'm at a B+.
You're a dick.
Okay. I'm at a B+.
You're a dick. I'm I'm former Greg Bow.
I I want to explain my first. I usually do most of the time anyways. And then I want to hear because I know what you're going to say and I respect what you're going to say.
I love that you can read my mic cuz you're my best friend. But you also respect me that Yeah. Okay.
Because I don't disagree with what you're probably going to say. So I I was a little nervous because
Joe Cat's Code like I like Joe cuz I love Wonka. Again, Wonka is one of our favorite games. I I loved it.
I love Toy Story.
Very deep. Toy Story. I like the code. We'll argue about that. I needed a little more in Toy Story. I know maybe his hands were t I don't know. I don't know. I don't care about that. But I was a little nervous. Then I started hearing some things about,
you know, some negativity about the way the clips were implemented and just different things and a lot of stuff going on with Joe's code. So I was just expecting a very
weak shallow kind of not shallow per se cuz nothing that comes out of there is shallow,
but but you know what I mean? Like I just didn't
convoluted.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just didn't sack.
Exact. Yes. Multi or something.
But you get this game and there is so
much going on like like I was telling you earlier.
Is that a problem though? There's
no no. Yes and no. Yes and no. So it it's it's very
to you it's an A.
It's a very complicated rule set that's very hard to follow per se,
but it's but it's not like you can you can grasp it very quickly. It's not a very good thing that if you were walk up to the game, you're not going to understand what's going on other than
that's modern pinball.
But but listen to me. So hear me. Hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out.
I'm listening.
So I think that a lot of the complaint that is coming from people, it's things like Jurassic Park where that you're collecting fossils and there are certain things that you're doing that a lot of it does me too.
I understand it's more than
I I agree. I 100% agree. And that that's kind of the point that I'm getting. I think some of the negative that you're hearing about I'm starting off with the negative first. I think some of the negative that you're hearing about it is things that don't really matter to the majority of players because there's so many things that are right in your face that you can go for, which I love. Like the death eater, going for the death eater. One of my favorite things. Going for the Quidditch multiball. Like you know what you're shooting towards. Yeah. All the other multiballs. And it's not multiball. Yes. The potions. Okay. I can shoot for potions and focus on that a little bit or rope that in. Movie modes. Movie modes which again like you know Joel had said in the stream like which is fantastic by the way. You want more in depth. We're not going to get that in depth, but go watch the troll do the tutorial cuz it'll explain everything to you. But there's so much that you can focus on, which brings me to like something like Walking Dead, like a lime and sheets type code. Like I love The Walking Dead because there was different tasks. There was different things within the game that you could go for depend on, you know, I can go for them all and literally try to work through the game or if I'm not feeling it, I just want to shoot the death eater and try to do a bunch of death eater battles.
A hor crux for that.
Yes. Exactly. So I want to focus on that right now. Like there's so many things that change the game up for you that just blow me away and it's just fun. Like all of the rules that he has created is fun.
Replay-ability too.
Beyond beyond because even the movie modes are pretty indepth.
There's like 96 of them, which I appreciate. People [ __ ] about, oh, there's too many. Why do you care? Like why wouldn't you? Well, it's like that's too many chocolate bars. My I only want four. They're there if you want to eat them, bro.
And I'm assuming you're going to get into this. My only I won't say
you're trying to cover all your bases. I love this.
I won't say it's my only complaint.
Damn, you are.
But I need I need the movie modes to stand out more. He uses great utilization of all of the clips. I mean,
the assets are all over the place. No, the assets are all They have a ton of the assets, but I need I need all the movie modes. It's too faint.
Oh, yeah.
It's too faint to my ears. Too faint to my eyes. That's that might just be an ordering thing
where they order this to take precedent over this or to
some things do cuz we'll get into call the call outs and and sounds.
Yeah, it's a big problem. But you get what I'm saying. I think you're going to
I think that some of that's where you're
I you said it perfectly. I'm so proud of you and yes, you did read me. Uh you and you did respect what I was saying. Uh and that's exactly why I'm at a B+. It's because the rule in it rules in and of themselves are perfection. I love when there's basic tasks. It tells me you've got to get what? Seven of them. Three, six, seven whorecruxes. Yes.
If you get seven horcruxes, Zach, you get to go to the big wizard mode. I love that. And I'm like, "Oh, tell me more. How do you get these core correctors?" All right. Well, if you want to know more in depth, you get this one by doing the allies. You get this one by going through the movie modes. You get this one jack.
Yeah, you get a multiball. You get this one by going through the uh the Quidditch. You get this one by doing death. Oh, that's awesome because I have seven different tasks that I can try to do. Maybe I just focus on two for this game. Maybe I focus on these two. It never gets old. I love that. That's Joe Katz, man.
That's what I'm saying about that's where that replayability that you're talking about comes in is I don't I'm not playing the same game. It's not linear. I'm not going for the same battle. I'm not going for the same fight every time and feel like I'm repeating myself. Like I can literally take such drastically different paths.
A lot of modern pinball does that. It's just whether or not they do it well. I think it does it really well here.
This does it one of the best. One of the best.
That's why we love Walking Dead. Like you said, that's the same kind of thing. You got all those weapons you got to fill up. How do you want to fill them up? It's your choice. Uh that's what I do.
I got modes, too.
Great modes. Don't let him know. Not [ __ ] on that game. It's amazing.
That's what he's saying.
I know. It's fantastic. I've got modes. Modes for days.
You notice the game's still here. I back it up.
My modes are dark.
What I say of the game?
Like a spider's butthole.
You know what's sad is I think Luke and Buggy make fun of me that I love.
Every time I see them,
you like that more than we do.
Yeah. Every time I see them, I think they still laugh in my face that I like that game.
Still got Halloween.
Yeah, I love it. I love it.
All right. Uh Okay. So, I love all of that about the code. Yes.
What makes it to B+? First off, it's not done.
It's like a 0.9
three years. Like it's still there's still some room.
But doesn't it feel
what I want them to take the remainder of? Yeah. It feels whole it them releasing this nowadays what we're so used to when manufacturers release.
This is like a 1.25
compared to that. Everything else is out. Yes. Like I would be happy with what I got now. But my B+ is I need more movie. Yes.
I just want more like knew where you were going.
I I feel like and I don't want to be mean to Joe Katz,
but selfishly I want this game more than I care about his feelings. I want this game to be good.
So, I'm going to shoot it straight like Joe Katz. And I'm going to I'm going to put this on Joe. Even if it's a team,
Joe, you're the lead. I'm going to put it on you, buddy.
You need to find a way to make moments. You need to find a way to give us what the hell we're paying for, which is Harry Potter in a physical formed game.
But let me soften the blow a little bit.
Soften all you want. No. No. Listen. There are there are hints.
It's some
No, listen. Listen to me. There are hints cuz the Death Eater stuff gets dark. It gets the the snitch when you're capturing a snitch and perfect flutters up the rails. Those are the things that he he does some of it. But it does. I will not disagree. He needs a lot more.
I need you. You got so many places to stop that ball. Stop that ball and show me a clip that's longer than [ __ ] two seconds.
Well, you show me a show me a a freaking sequence.
You know where he does it right at and it pisses me off more than anything because the ball
ball lock 100 fucking%. At the ball and every time I lock a ball I'm like, "Oh my god, here it is." I'm like, "Oh, it's a
like it's a [ __ ] ball lock."
That's what we need.
Yes,
we need that.
Yes. And you Hey, double flip that [ __ ] to go through. I don't care. but create it so I can watch it.
Yes. I want the end of every Death Eater to have a sequence. I want the end of every mode to have a big sequence. I want a mid mode to have a sequence uh with lighting. So, you have to hit the midshot, final shot. I want to use those movie clips with audio sync from the film. Don't blank that [ __ ] out.
Exactly.
I want it all. I'm sorry.
We till till the day we die.
It needs four times as more. argue Hobbit is the best implemented thing ever. When Schmog smog Schmog smog smog like starts the moon and you've got him on the [ __ ] LCD in the clip and he's moving like you're integrating
when you kill Smog.
Yes.
It stops the flippers and you he's falling from the sky. The lights are
you're like, "Oh my god, this is epic." You feel the heart of it.
That's pinball.
That's what this needs and it needs it in. And listen, maybe he's looking at greater moments down like when you achieve more, but no, you need it.
He's a programmer.
You need it for
He's a programmer. He's a competitive player. I know how his brain works. I know.
We don't want that, Joe. No, we don't want that. What's the most uh What's the most exciting thing in this game? Oh, the most exciting time is whenever you build up a jackpot. No, that's not exciting at all. I don't want any of that. I need a better. I just need a better.
That's the only reason I can give an A+. You were just a lot. I feel strongly about it because we're so close on this game. This is Harry Potter. You get one shot at this. You're so close to it. Make the I'm going to be a little tougher on this game. Great.
Listen, I'm not even going to say it's because it's Harry Potter. You're on the verge of creating one of the best ever.
Ever art [ __ ]
Truly best ever. Which again, and this this is no [ __ ] [ __ ] I am not lying at all.
Your game.
I did not expect this game to take me the way it did. No, me neither
at all. So
I knew I'd own it cuz it's Harry Potter
100%. But I was not that.
That's what I'm That's why I'm being tough, man. Because
it is right there.
And code can be We can still get that fixed.
Yes. Yes.
Toys and innovation.
You and I are matched. We're A minuses. We love this.
It's good.
Uh why are we A minus instead of A+? Because look, we've got that staircase.
That thing is awesome.
But I think there is a lack of toys. You got a death eater. You got an upper play field. You got switchery r. You got You got a What's the uh the whispering wamper? The wamping willow. Wamping willow.
Yeah. Bounce around. You got a sculpt of the
But I was looking for I was actual wands though.
What else you want?
More interactive toys. I was expecting more magnets. I was expecting some razzledazzle because there is so much moving pictures. There's all kinds.
There's a moving picture. You got moving pictures right there. They're lenticular and when it turns that Do you know that?
Where?
Yeah.
The pictures are lenticular. So when they turn they actually move.
What pictures?
On the staircase where they're supposed to be.
That's moving pictures.
It is lenticular. Good attempt. Good attempt. Good attempt. Good attempt. Good attempt. It was good. But it hurt so small.
It's good attempt.
Is that not where is that not why? Like where are you at? That's where I'm at.
Okay, good. Thank you. You made me feel like I was [ __ ] crazy for a minute.
I just wanted to play double dab cuz it it does have a That's why
it does have a lot. Yes,
there's a lot of toys and they do work
and it's innovative. It the innovation is what gave me because of all the ball paths, the staircase, like you said, dude, when I first
heard of Harry Potter. Yeah,
the staircase I was like,
"No, it has to be in there."
I I agree. But I I like as a large focal point as your main toy map.
You wanted it maybe moving in the background or something. You never
like a buck taking it
almost like a last action hero.
Yes. Like the crane crane is it that that's where
not something that's like the main
the main toys because the I mean and it's it's a great part of the movie. But
we passionate about this game.
Yes, we are.
But you you but you see what I'm saying? But the innovation just like doing away with the wire forms that feed the [ __ ] inlanes and outlanes. Like my god, it's like you said, I don't know if I'm wild about it, but it works and it's exciting and it's different.
Tough.
Yes, it's different.
Tough. We didn't talk about that. It's a tougher shooter.
It is a tough shooter.
Tougher shooter. It's not hard.
No.
But it's it's it's uh challenging,
but it's a game. It's not unfair.
It's not unfair.
Not unfair. No.
But it you can have like a 30 second ball or you can have a [ __ ] 15-minute ball.
Sometimes it kicks my ass so much I turn it off.
Yes.
I say nope.
But other times,
not today. So guess what you do?
You're behind me today. Voldemort.
I will.
They want to win this battle.
Well, not speak your name.
Praise God.
Where you at? Hagrid
disappears.
A poor Robbie Cold Train.
He died, didn't he?
I know. Yeah. Sing.
Why you got to bring that [ __ ] up?
You did.
Go ahead and bring out the JK Rowling [ __ ] too, bro.
Bring us all the way back.
No. No. We're not that kind of show.
We're going to be called bigots just because we're reviewing. Go ahead. I don't even know who the hell
got me all teed up about Robbie. I'm
messed up, man. I'm messed up. Celebrity deaths [ __ ] with me. Why?
I don't know why. Like, ask Chelsea. Like, still getting over Patrick sees, man. Patrick sees tears me.
Four packs a day.
Every time I know why he died, bro. I can almost smell Patrick sees grave from here.
It still tears me up, man. Heat Ledger really messed me up bad.
My god,
I hate it. So sad to me. But let's go back.
Oh, the toys thing. It's fully loaded.
But I wanted one big toy.
Yes, I wanted Hogwarts Castle. I'm not going to lie. I wanted Hogwarts Castle. Give me the Hogwarts castle.
Well, and you know what that I think that that's what took me by surprise about this game is because it wasn't what
that's the duh toy.
I expected I thought so too.
It's like Jaws without shark eating the ball.
Exactly. I'm like, why is Hogwarts not prominent in large shooting through the castle? Whatever. Diverts the ball. And I'm gonna throw a little I'm gonna sprinkle a little shade on that Death Eater.
Little flu powder.
Uh on the Death Eater.
Flu powder.
Yeah, that's right. With a little green. Dude, I love Oh, that new part.
Dude, did that not Did that not blow you away when you walk through that that fireplace
and how grand it is in there in the middle.
I love that we both were able to make it
the ride.
Yeah, I didn't get to ride.
Overrated, but
overrated. Why didn't you write the east?
It's closed.
But we still got to walk through the queue and go through everything. Fantastic.
Gotta get through this. Okay. It I'm sprinkling a little hate on Death Eater.
I didn't want him there either.
I give me Voldemort there. I wanted the mentor up there. Yes.
You know.
Yes.
Death Eater. That's cop out. You have the mask.
I agree.
I think of Harry Potter. I don't think of Death Eater.
No, I don't either. But it fits the code perfectly because because there's a lot of death eaters throughout the films.
And again, I keep going back. It's honestly one of my favorite things to go for.
That's the cool. That's my favorite toy.
That kickback.
I love it.
That's a moment.
It is a moment.
That's what I'm saying. Tickling the flippers and then you
the fastest
shooting. I I bet the trajectory and speed of that ball is the highest speed in in all
game. It's got to be. I've never seen anything like it.
So cool
at all.
So that's really cool. Uh light shows are really cool. All of that stuff. So toys and everything is it's fantastic. But it's Harry Potter. So you're
you not using magnets under the playfield.
That's a fail. You got to It's a magic thing. You got to miss and you didn't. And you missed it.
We missed this in code. It's your fault. We missed code.
Whoever called that,
you know, we missed in code the spells.
Oh, I do love the spells.
You have to create spells.
My god.
You got to do the flip. It's like a video mode.
Yes. Gives you a spell and you have to hit the flippers center or your your
the three flippers to correspond to the speed.
The spell.
Yeah. Tells you how to do which is again it's a fun neat.
I want to beef it up a little bit more.
I do too. I want it to be a little harder. I want it to really progress like a bop it. I want to bop it.
Bop it.
I want to bop it. Pull it. Bop it. Crank it.
Yeah. Throw the [ __ ] start button in there. Get throw it.
Yeah. I want it all in there.
Hold versus I want more difficulty. I want it. Parappa the rapper. Remember that. Parappa the rapper.
No.
Oh my god. You don't remember that? It's like the the dog that wrapped on PlayStation. Parappa the rapper. And you're like X Y X. It's triangle. Triangle. R1. R2.
That was that was tough too.
It was like
same thing. Sorry we missed that. Innovation A minus music and call outs.
Okay, I got
David Thiel. You're at A minus. You ain't got that many problems. I got more problems. I'm at a B.
I'm at a B.
I kind of don't blame you,
but you're an A minus because it has Headedwick's theme. Uh, so they got that right. That almost makes it an A in of itself. David Thiel and Hedwick's theme.
Yes.
Everything else is
and all of the sounds are beautiful.
I like them.
They're beautiful. They're beautiful.
But
I like the effects.
What's the problem? My issue.
It's our issue.
And it's our friend. Our issue. My issue is the casting. That's my issue. I don't know what your issue is.
Slightly.
Okay. My issue is the casting. I I I don't think Marc Silk as the the main vocals. I don't think it makes sense to the game as much as I want it to.
It's it's more announcerish.
Yes. Yeah. And I don't know where that fits in because he was Marc Silk for those unaware was like the sorting hat for some of the memorabilia the official sorting hat voice and for the the theme park and stuff like that. So it makes sense that they picked him but they didn't have him do the sorting.
No, it's not the Gruff.
Yeah.
Hell Gryffindor.
Yeah. It doesn't have that.
No, he's announcer man.
Yes.
So it doesn't make sense.
And it's overpowering. Like I actually So when I say that
it's like they're hiding the clips. I I like some of the frequency because it literally tells you everything you need to do, which some of us complain about. In a complex game, you need it, but it's too overbearing. It's like you said, it's overshadowing clips. It's over shadowing Harry, Hermione, Ron,
I'd rather not have instructions on what to do.
I I'm
just let me play the game then. I'll figure it out. I just And this isn't a Marc Silk thing.
No, it's not at all.
He did fantastic. He did his job.
Yes.
He and he's he's the
And David is a master.
He's greatness at what he does. But but
that's why I said a casting issue.
I I don't
Maybe a direction issue.
Yeah. I just don't think
it might not even be a casting issue. A direction issue.
But it is too much. And and and you're just all of your all of your call outs from the the cast from movie clips.
Give me a sound alike that is from Who would you want the sound? I'd want like
Oh, Robbie Col Train would been number one to me, I think, because Hagrid is the guide. Hagrid is the one leading the children. Hag like Dumbledore's a little too too soft for me. That's Snape.
No, Snape is still too drab.
Robbie like like Hagrid to me would be the
number one choice that you would have to because again he's guiding the kids. He's very he can be very energetic and do but he can be very soft.
He's an instructor. Yeah.
Yeah. See what I'm saying?
I would have liked like a Hermione sound like cuz she's kind of bossy
and her she'd laugh around. Like if you're going to have anybody, she makes sense to me cuz she's kind of,
you know,
honestly, if we were going this far in, I would have liked like a lot more corresponding call outs. I know that that's impossible, but you know what I'm saying on some things where Harry would shout some frequent things.
If you're going to use AI,
really dig,
but you see what I'm saying? where Harry would say some quotes that would be fitting for certain things or to shoot this or when you're in a particular mode it would be Hermione Ron or Harry. It might be Hagrid that's giving guidance.
Yeah. Sorting hat even if it was sorting hat such a small role the sorting hat.
No, but it's still so prominent.
It's such a small
No, it's still so prominent.
Yeah. And them not doing a topper with the sorting hat is a fail.
Yes. A miss. It's a [ __ ] top. I am sorry. That is
Well, for the CE.
Yes. It's terrible.
It's got a lot of hate.
It's terrible.
I think it's getting a level of undue hate. Like the level of hate.
We switched positions.
The level of hate is too high there for what it's like.
Come, it ain't that damn bad. It beats a lot of two-dimensional
toppers from that manufacturer.
That it does, but it's still it's still
I don't mind the uh
the Quidditch one on the the Wizard.
You know, it's just a layered plastic.
I like the Quidditch one. I I agree. I agree. I would almost rather went that.
I might too.
Mhm.
Yeah,
I agree.
But yeah, I just the sound the call outs just don't work for me. I need and that we need more synced audio. I'll throw that in this audio thing, too.
And again, it's one of those things
you're showing me a movie clip. I need to hear the the sounds from that movie.
And those sounds are are equally as important for the the moments that we're talking about creating. So So it kind of it kills some of the moments because we're not getting those sounds. We're not getting what we're expecting in that moment. We do a lot of consultation work for some of these manufacturers.
They don't like to make it public, but we do. Uh I think that you know benefit if we were the uh the the the moment creative officer.
I will take it. I will take it.
Why not?
I will take that job. I know, but I will take it.
I think within 24 hours we would have a whole list of moments that you could have.
Yeah. I played the [ __ ] out of that game and it's things would be easily incorporated.
Absolutely.
I say that loosely cuz I know program.
Coding is a nightmare, but
but this game's worth it.
Yeah.
Display an animation.
I don't know why you were at
You're an A minus. I'm in a B+.
Why?
Not enough video clips.
That's where I thought you were.
Display.
That's what knocked it down for me.
Cuz JP did a really great job again. Everything in there is amazing.
Beautiful job.
Played out very well.
But I'm going to be a little bit more constructive for this. I I expect more from these guys and I expect more from this game. But he also I mean he utilizes there there are a ton of clips where it came from him or Joe like there's a ton of clips again utilize I mean and it's very fluid to whatever movie you're in it's in progression like it's it's very well done in that aspect
I need audio sync to them I need
yes but it's the lack of those moments it's the lack of it taking over the screen films
yes I I mean I agree I agree but I just don't know if it falls on I mean it's still part of displaying animations but I I don't know where that
Here's what else I got
who that falls under there
the the death eater I think that animation more work could have been done on the animations of the death cuz they had to create their own. They animated their own death eater when he's on when you're battling him. A death eater will pop up and he'll like get hit and stuff.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was a little weak.
Looks a little football player.
It was a little weak. It was a little weak.
So it's almost like the Oompa Lumpus and Wonka. I'm like a little weak there. Yeah.
I need a little bit more animation work.
Yeah. But it's hard. God, it's hard.
It's fine.
So hard.
But the expectations are the highest. I'm not going to create no excuses. This is Harry Potter. If you can't bring your [ __ ] a game, then I don't know.
You're going to get criticism. Theme A+. We're both A+es. So, it gets the big
No need to even talk about it.
It gets the big points from A+es theme. It's Harry Potter. It's one of the
It is arguably the best theme uh that hasn't been made into pinball.
I think so. Most sought out.
Even has been made in pinball because Star Wars has been made so many times. That's the other argument, Star Wars. But that's been made so many times it's watered down a little bit for pinball. This is the biggest license.
And I don't know what the next biggest one's going to be.
I don't either.
I really don't.
Back to the future maybe.
Won't be bigger, but it'll be big.
Yeah, but big. I'm saying the next Pokemon. Not for pinball.
No, but in general, I mean, it' be big.
I got it. Super Mario.
I think Super Mario.
Super Mario's getting closer.
It'd be huge.
Enjoyability.
Jeez, you're an A+
easily.
Now, here's the thing. I gave a lot of criticism to this game, Greg.
I still had a solid A for enjoyability
because this game is so much fun.
It is one of the funnest games I've played.
Like even if I'm like, well, you know, shots and layout A minus, art B minus, rules and code B plus.
I don't care. It's an A. It's not leaving my collection. And it's so much so it's in my office right now.
Yeah.
Because it forces me to be like, oh, hey, you want to play? Hey, you want to play?
I love this game. There hasn't been a game that I've been like I said I I'll repeat it again that I've been this excited about like I'll come down in the mornings with a cup of coffee and play it. I'll play it multiple times in the evening. There's not a game that I have brought in
that has made me I'll play it like normal but not that I I seek out to come down and turn a single game on besides Halloween.
I know it's like don't forget me. Yeah. And I'm here. Yes. Yeah. Going into it, I didn't think
cuz you not that you're down on JJP games, but they don't usually excite you as much as a Stern game. No. So, you weren't going into it, I can say that you weren't really like you were like, "Oh, cool. Like, I really like Harry Potter as a theme. We'll see what they got."
But
I was like, "I'll take him. I'll take
That's all you've been talking about."
Oh, yeah. a legitimate, wonderful, fantastic game. Uh even if you want to say that we're biased and stuff, even so
Mhm.
I I promise you this is a phenomenal game. Uh it's hard for anybody not to like this game that not only likes pinball, but doesn't like pinball. Like it's just
it's just pure fun.
It's one of the funnest games that has come out since we've been in the hobby.
Agree.
Just the way it is. It's that good. Sure, there's always stuff that we would like done better. Um, but
but it's so fun that it it overrides a lot of those things. Like I don't even think about the could have been or would have been like it's so fun that it erased all that because it's just a great game. I do the same thing. I harp on it every time with Jurassic Park. I still think they butchered the [ __ ] out of it. They incorporate too, but it's so fun that you forget about it.
Cumulatively speaking now with the new grading system because you had some A+es in there. Uh, this thing comes out for you.
This is your highest rated pinball machine. Uh, I would say even without these A+es, it was still your highest rated. I believe
I think it's great.
Uh, you came out to an A an A pen. We've never had an A pen rated because we can't surpass an A minus unless it's perfect, but it's an A. 4.09.
I don't. This is a
I think it's deserving.
Mine come out to a B+ 3.5.
That's pretty high for you. You're
very high. Well, my expectations now. The good thing is in 6 months from now,
yes,
this will probably go right into an A. I think it will be
because the stuff that I'm low on
is probably going to agree. I agree.
So, uh we are super high on this game. Uh and I can't like when I'm not playing it, I'm like that's the game I kind of would like to play.
What I tell you this morning, I was down here at 5:30 this morning playing.
Yeah. Drinking your coffee
before you got here. Yeah.
It's so much fun. Uh and if you guys want to buy one, all you've got to do is go to flippingoutpinball.com.
Yes. Uh we are one of their premier, one of JJB's premier dealers and uh we've got a lot that have been
rolling out of the factory. I don't know when these people are watching this, but uh but certainly they have big plans to produce this thing efficiently so that uh maybe next year they'll be on to another game. I would have thought it would take
See, they're doing a lot better than what I thought.
I I know
a lot better.
