TL;DR

Walking Dead Remaster gameplay preview highlights mechanical refinements, expanded code, and new voice acting.

Summary

Stern Pinball released an official gameplay preview of The Walking Dead Remastered featuring Raymond Davidson and John Borg demonstrating new features including updated mechanics (ramp improvements, Well Walker animation coil, new micro switches on zombie targets), expanded code with new modes (two mini wizard modes, challenge modes, team play, co-op), crossbow smart fire functionality, new voice acting from Michael Rooker and other cast members, and optional legacy 2014 mode. The video showcases refined playfield ergonomics, in-lane multipliers, improved ball routing from pop bumpers, and design iterations made during the remaster process.

  • Crossbow has new smart fire functionality with position encoder for auto-targeting

    high confidence · John Borg explains 'It's got a special encoder now so it can tell what position it's at...we can use that to do like a smart fire where it kind of calibrates itself and can automatically hit something for you.'

  • Well Walker now has animating coil beneath it to react and throw tantrums

    high confidence · Davidson notes 'the coil that you added underneath the well walker where you can actually like make him react...Before, just the lights would flash back and forth...now you can get him to throw a tantrum.'

  • Game includes new voice acting from Michael Rooker and 8-9 other characters

    high confidence · John Borg: 'we're going to have custom speech from Michonne and I think there's eight or nine other characters that speak during the game...when the game first went out, all we had was Michael Rooker speech'

  • Legacy 2014 mode available as selectable option from gameplay menu

    high confidence · Borg states 'at popular request, this game's going to have a 2014 mode, so you can choose it from the gameplay menu and just go old school if you want.'

  • Prison and bicycle girl zombie targets use new micro switches instead of pivoting leaf switches

    high confidence · Borg explains 'The prison zombie and the bicycle girl zombie are um they're new mechanisms altogether...they're micro switches now...they're very easily adjustable...and they're very sensitive.'

  • Right ramp design modified for improved playability with steel rails

    high confidence · Borg notes 'I revamped the right upper right-hand corner because the flat rail used to go all the way to the edge of the playfield. So I brought it in because we have the steel rails on the game now.'

Dude, that left ramp feels so freaking Dude, that left ramp feels so freaking good. Oh yeah. Look at that.
    5:28
    Yeah. You know, I revamped the right upper right hand corner because the the flat rail used to go all the way to the edge of the playfield. So, I brought it in because we have the steel rails on the game now. And it seems to have made the tunnel shot a little easier, too. And when you're in the tunnel mode, the points are very lucrative. the points are very lucrative. Oh, I might go for that next. Oh, I might go for that next. I was watching Keith pounding [snorts] I was watching Keith pounding [snorts] on that the other day, and he was just he was just crushing it. Oh, in tunnel. Oh, in tunnel. In tunnel. In tunnel. Yeah, I love that tunnel mode. And it looks like the um the feet from the pop bumpers seems to be pretty friendly now. Yeah, it's it's a little more friendly. Yeah, it's it's a little more friendly. I'm sure it can still go wherever it I'm sure it can still go wherever it wants. Right. It it's uh it's coming down, you Right. It it's uh it's coming down, you know, at that angle and you know, it could possibly go out, but Oh, that one. Oh, Oh, that one. Oh, it's not as mean as it used to be. it's not as mean as it used to be. I like it. I like it. Give it to me. I'll take CDC. Yeah, Give it to me. I'll take CDC. Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to shoot. There we go. All right. So, for CDC, you want to hit All right. So, for CDC, you want to hit that left ramp as many times as you can. As soon almost as soon as you hit something that's not as soon as you hit something that's not a left ramp. Yeah. Yeah. Um, then you kind of move to phase two. Um, then you kind of move to phase two. Okay, got it. So, you want to just Okay, got it. So, you want to just repeat left ramp all day. Yep. Yep. Let me get control of the dang ball. Let me get control of the dang ball. Jack, danger, what are you doing? I like I don't know what you did to the ramp flap, but I feel like it's much better than It's a lot smoother than it than it was It's a lot smoother than it than it was in [music] the original version. It's longer and it gives a little bit It's longer and it gives a little bit when the ball hits it and it it glides up there very nicely. My brain just really wants to shoot that My brain just really wants to shoot that barn shot all say, Jack, you still despite how smooth say, Jack, you still despite how smooth he makes it, you got to get it between the the posts. Yep. Got to get that. I mean, it's it's Yep. Got to get that. I mean, it's it's generous. All right, Borgie, it's up to you. All right, Borgie, it's up to you. All right, here we go. All right, here we go. Championship of the world.
    7:20
    Oh, actually, uh, I have I have a note here that says there's also team play and co-op coming. Oh, Oh, there you go.

    7:45
    Open up that prison. Open the prison. Open the prison. So, John, there's new speech for this So, John, there's new speech for this game. Yeah. Yes. Um, Yes. Um, and it's already in the game. I was and it's already in the game. I was hearing a lot of it. Yeah. I did scripts for several Yeah. I did scripts for several characters. Some of them just only have a few lines, but some of them have a lot of lines. Um, when the game first went out, all we had was Michael Rooker speech in the game. Uh, but we're going to have custom speech from Michonne and I think there's eight or nine other characters that speak during the game. He's showing off the left ramp. Did you He's showing off the left ramp. Did you see that? That was great. That was great. Oh, I don't know where that 10 million Oh, I don't know where that 10 million came from. That was sweet. It's free money. It's free money. Bicycle girl is lit. Bicycle girl is lit. Oh, yeah. Now I can't make the left. Oh, yeah. Now I can't make the left. Now that it's lit. Oh yeah, you got Now that it's lit. Oh yeah, you got bicycle girl ready. That'll stop them. That'll stop them. Uhoh.
    8:43
    I like the new lights on the outside and inside. And it looks like there's some cool kind of ominous GI. Oh yeah, Oh yeah, got those cool fish heads up there. got those cool fish heads up there. All right, he's going straight for the All right, he's going straight for the prison. That's that's a good strat. So, something subtle that I think adds a lot to what's going on here is the coil that you added underneath the well walker where you can actually like make him react. Make him animate. Make him animate. Before just the lights would flash back Before just the lights would flash back and forth on the well, now you can get him to throw a tantrum. now you can get him to throw a tantrum. Yeah, he has [laughter] a tantrum. Yeah, he has [laughter] a tantrum. That's cool. I remember you adding that That's cool. I remember you adding that when we were Yeah. Yeah. You were making the remaster. You're You were making the remaster. You're like, I think I'm going to It gives you a chance to see the guts It gives you a chance to see the guts that are hanging. Oh, yeah. There's molded guts Oh, yeah. There's molded guts underneath. Ah, Ah, some people didn't know that cuz it's, some people didn't know that cuz it's, you know, when you hit it with the ball, it opens up a little bit. Wait, were there molded guts in the Wait, were there molded guts in the original? Yes. Yes. Really? Really? Yeah. Yeah. I actually didn't know that. I actually didn't know that. Uh-huh. I know. Some a lot of people Uh-huh. I know. Some a lot of people have told me that. That's wild. That's wild. Oo, I like on that. Oo, I like on that. Wow, you put guts in. Wow, you put guts in. I like you can see your um 2x playfield I like you can see your um 2x playfield timer. That's cool. The old game you didn't have room on the The old game you didn't have room on the display to see your your 2x play field timer, so you kind of just guess. Just crossing your finger. Yeah. Just crossing your finger. Yeah. Yeah. I would just looked to see if the Yeah. I would just looked to see if the lamp was still flashing. Mhm. Mhm. We got Woodberry lit now. We got Woodberry lit now. Now Woodberry, I want to split that off Now Woodberry, I want to split that off because when you change what the Woodberry skill shot is once you get the ball in there, I want to make uh stopping on that top roll over much more lucrative than the bottom one cuz now you've got three and the bottom cuz now you've got three and the bottom one's a give me. But if you plunge up and touch off on the top one, that's where I want the big the biggest features. Yeah. Big pay. Yeah. Big pay. Wow, that was okay. Wow, that was okay. Wow. Wow. Yeah, [laughter] you did a riot pretty Yeah, [laughter] you did a riot pretty good. You hit a couple riot moi shots.
    10:40
    All right, let's I'm I'm all in on blood bath here, so I just need to wait for it to get to first aid. Good timing. Good timing. Now you got to clear it. Yeah, I need that one extra target. We'll see if he gives me I'm a little nervous here. All right. Oh, nice. Nice and easy. Oh, just missed it. Target said no. Target said no. Hit it, too. Hit it, too. Here we go. There you go. Oh, There you go. Oh, yeah. Going to be a bud bath. yeah. Going to be a bud bath. Oh, that was definitely a new quote. Oh, that was definitely a new quote. Yeah, cuz that that was they they used um Michael Rooker, right? That felt good, huh? They didn't have That felt good, huh? They didn't have him on the first game. Yeah, we recorded Michael Rooker for the Yeah, we recorded Michael Rooker for the first game, but we never got to use the material. Oh, really? Oh, really? Mhm. Mhm. That's right. You got He had the That's right. You got He had the Michael Rooker was so funny. There was a Michael Rooker was so funny. There was a lot of things he add lived in the in the sound booth that that definitely couldn't go in the game, but he was really really funny to listen to. Oh, I bet. Oh, I bet. All right, Adabal. Let's hit those drop targets.
    11:48
    Oh, yes. That's what I wanted. I wanted a I didn't I I I wanted Riot, but I didn't think I'd be able to Oh, no. Oh, no. LAST MINUTE. Oh, no. Oh, no. LAST MINUTE. OH, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. LING. LING, OH, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. LING. LING, GRACE. OH, not enough, Grace. OH, not enough, Grace. Well, whoa. I think Well, whoa. I think Wow. Did you see that? Wow. Did you see that? I hit it so fast I don't think it I hit it so fast I don't think it registered. I whipped it and then it jumped over I whipped it and then it jumped over everything. Like Gary says, the ball is wild. Like Gary says, the ball is wild. Ball is wild, baby.
    12:18
    I want to try one of those ricochets again because I also want to get get my well walker into well walker into Yeah. The other thing we did with the Yeah. The other thing we did with the new game compared to the old game is the uh uh the prison zombie and the bicycle girl zombie are um they're new mechanisms alto together. the old ones, uh, uh, when you hit them, it it [music] pivoted to to make a, um, a leaf switch, and they're micro switches now, and they're, um, they're very easily adjustable. Um, but they don't need adjustment. Um, and they're very sensitive.
    12:56
    All right, let's do this thing. There we go. Quick action There we go. Quick action and put them in a tank. and put them in a tank. Nice. I didn't know you could hit it. Nice. I didn't know you could hit it. Yeah, you can. That was pretty. That was pretty. I think it's easier when you let it go I think it's easier when you let it go all the way across and it's on its way back. He did it the hard way. He did it the hard way. Yeah, that's He did it the hard way. Yeah, that's like threading the needle. Yeah. A little secret action. Yeah. A little secret action. Okay, so we need another mode going on Okay, so we need another mode going on here. So, we needed that. Yeah, modes are good.
    13:30
    Good thing they can't run. Good thing they can't run. fun little uh Good thing they can't run. fun little uh nod to other zombie movies. Michael was just great.
    13:40
    There's a line in the game though where the character says, "Holy suffering cats." And that was something that my grandpa used to say when I was little. I think it was a replacement for a swear word. And uh so Michael was reading the script And uh so Michael was reading the script and he and he got to Holy Suffering Cats. He goes, "Holy suffering cats." He goes, "What the hell is that? [laughter] That's awesome. Did you record the What the hell is Did you record the What the hell is that? That would be Oh, yeah. No, I got I have the whole the Oh, yeah. No, I got I have the whole the whole entire session. But, you know, the Michael was doing a lot of teasing the player, and I'd like to try to squeeze some of that into the game, too. Some of it Some of it Oh, I got an EB. Oh, I got an EB. Some of it was a little Some of it was a little a little much. a little much. Oh, that's [laughter] Oh, that's [laughter] I'm not going to play the extra ball I'm not going to play the extra ball out, but I am going to shoot for a skill shot again. Line it up on the right. Line it up on the right. Oh, extra balls. Okay, we're hardcore. Oh, extra balls. Okay, we're hardcore. Oh, wow. Oh, no hands. [groaning] Oh, wow. Oh, no hands. [groaning] Okay, no hands, baby. Okay, no hands, baby. Mhm. Mhm. Give me another. Give me another. Oh, and we get the bonus. Oh, and we get the bonus. Wow, look at this. Very fruitful. You Wow, look at this. Very fruitful.

Yeah, I think prison is ready. So, if I Yeah, I think prison is ready. So, if I hit the button, it should start multiball. But I'm going to just kind of noodle around here since it's safe. Try to get a mode going. Essentially, like having a ball. Essentially, like having a ball. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. I started well. Oh, no. I started well. Oh, I got well walker. Oh, I got well walker.
