Funhouse Pinball Remake by Pedretti is Revealed!

[@bradseverin1969]

The cycle of new pinball: 1. That game looks fun! 2. Well it’s $7,500 so that’s not happening ~3 months later~ 1. That game looks fun!

[@Mayroist]

That limited edition looks nice and honestly, the game board has more going on than most of the newer stern tables. I like the older 90's tables better than most of the new tables.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Fun Artwork, Classic game being 'reborn again'. Interesting!

[@walt_wood_pinball]

Hey Cary I saw some gameplay footage and I don't know if you have a way of getting to the higher ups at Pedretti, but there's an error in the code on the 'Midnight' version where the gangway shot doesn't light when the ball goes thru the right inlane. It actually lights when the ball hits the right slingshot. Weird error in the code I noticed during Monterey pinball stream of the game. Hope that helps make the game more fluid, much love in pinball brother

[@leefernandes3228]

Cary question to ask them, will they still be making the funhouse 2.0 kits available to purchase separately as they have been doing for those who have old Funhouse games. Or for that matter any 2.0 kits like Tales of Arabian etc.

[@CaryHardy]

2.0 TOTAN was done by a different company.

[@cellprocessing6832]

What kind of board sets is this using. P-ROC, Fast or something else? And what kind of clear coating are the playfields using?

[@BrianHaskell78]

FAST

[@Kwistenbiebel100-ns5ko]

So the topper is a clock. That was not hard to guess from your description

[@0xAndy]

Look guys, I'm as pissed off as you are that Rudy doesn't carry a gun on the playfield.

[@CaryHardy]

mod makers unite!!

[@davidb.8948]

But Rudy Does Eat the Ball!

[@charlesp3764]

Now this is good

[@quantumfx2677]

No worries! As soon as I'm finished building him some arms he will be able to hold a gun! You will love it! Fires really bullets! Just don't lose to many times you may not make it to your next game!

[@davo-ju6er]

🤣🤣

[@Jesselovespinball]

Just put down for the Midnight addition, that new art package is absolutely gorgeous. What a looker !!!! Carey can you please ask Pedretti about there service as far as if there’s issues with the machine ( arrives damaged or problems on start up etc )

[@OVERKILL_PINBALL]

at least Rudy eats the ball lol

[@jaspajones7045]

Yup. A mech. A real much.

[@pssstttchhh]

Holy shit did you come from the past with that piece of shit stale joke?

[@drlight6677]

Cary, when interviewing the folks at Padretti, can you ask them about the version 1.5 game code? I'm curious what the new optional game settings and adjustments are going to be.

[@gopooalreadyplease5842]

Call me crazy, but I prefer the original cabinet. New playfield looks great though

[@_ASTYuu_]

Funhouse is my all time faforite pinball machine and i have a very emotional connection with it because i grew up with a funhouse that my father owned. He passed last November. Sadly he sold the Funhouse shortly before that, for way to little (his mental and physical state we're very bad from alcohol abuse) So about a month after his passing i found a perfectly working Funhouse about an hour away from my house and bought it. Only problem with it is its cosmetic condition. (very worn playfield and cabinet) A few weeks ago i brought it to a restorer to get it to perfect condition. (the restorer is documenting the process on his website, i can link it if you want. although it is in Dutch) I'm expecting the machine to be done in about 3 weeks. While the remake looks great, i think i prefer the original. The Alpha Numeric Display just fits better imo, the mystery mirror being a display now takes away.. it being a actual mirror, And all of the inserts being clear on the remake looks slightly off imo. All in all the money i've spent will be a little under the price of this Remake.

[@molarmedic]

Ordered the classic edition. TY for the pre-review!

[@viggin900]

So does this come with the Rudy Nightmare version included that we can switch back and forth from? Now that would be worth it!

[@CaryHardy]

Check the tier matrix. It mentions the LE has it.

[@MANNYSARCADE]

Looking forward tho playing these great video bro

[@davidgbenke]

I love the new art package. Curious about the choice to include other Williams characters though. Can you ask Brian if this was a creative choice by him to give the fans some Easter Eggs or if it was requested by Pedretti. Also interested in his work flow for these art packages. On a full game does he start with backglass, cab, or playfield art?

[@michaelsuna6248]

Will they have the fun house 2.0 built in?

[@CaryHardy]

for the LEs it will be an option

[@TiltingT]

Cant wait to see some great video of each model and see what the bulld quality looks like ... and the one sticking point on remakes..how fast can they get them out the door and to customers

[@chrispotts8623]

Love this channel, it’s like shopping for yachts

[@elsquibbs]

This is tempting. Fun House is what got me into pinball. I like this artwork better than the original.

[@RUMZ70]

I wonder who makes the playfield?

[@RUMZ70]

Ahhhh.. CPR. Thanks!

[@rzerolfz4404]

very tempting...will hold for Monster Bash and Medieval Madness fangers crost

[@jaspajones7045]

Probably faster building than CgC.

[@pegasisilver6249]

Brian allen version looks great.

[@davidb.8948]

Which games do you own? Tough to see from your video.

[@CaryHardy]

DP, JP, FF, TOTAN, WCS94, HS2, LAH are the ones behind me.

[@PubeStache]

​@@CaryHardy I love acronyms

[@aidinpalumbo]

I hope you feel better

[@JohnSmith78098]

Think it looks awesome! I personally don’t love the face on the new art but I LOVE every other little detail. It really does make it look amazing. Now…we just need a swords of fury 2.0….and not swords of vengeance. I would drop the bones on that day one. If they somehow could do a black knight 2000 2.0 that would literally steal money. - not sure if that falls under stern now tho. This is the answer to the pinball issues in the world right now. They need to make the old games everyone loved, but their “2.0” versions with large screens and animations and deeper coding/rules. This is what saves pinball imo.

[@007bondson1]

Cool looking game. On another note CGC needs to keep cranking AFM, MMr, MB etc .. the market is there I can’t believe they don’t get the production ramped and take it to the bank

[@CaryHardy]

CGCs goal is to just keep the line moving. They aren't trying to pump out numbers or anything like that. They are slow, but quality is damn good.

[@therexershow]

Still waiting for white water Carey. Please let them know.

[@yzfguy600]

Improvement? Give me the original art all day long! I guess it's good there is something for everyone, and always good to have more out there for people to enjoy.

[@DennisMoncla]

Sorry but the new Rudy art would stop me from buying the upgraded game! The rest of the art is nice but I hate the new Rudy! If I get one it would be original art with a code upgrade.

[@kennynunez6792]

I think for $7,500 its priced ok, not great. Personally, Id choose this pro over the new John Wick. And not because of the politics. 😁

[@robertcecchini7913]

Question for Andrea Pedretti: Does the LE topper interact with the gameplay in anyway?

[@brunogaspar3977]

The LE looks amazing but…I’m worried about the prices! Because on the description it says 10k US That’s strange! A pinball manufactured in Europe with prices in dollars instead of Euros…so Cary pls My obvious question is, what’s the price in Europe?

[@CaryHardy]

You could call your distro to ask?

[@brunogaspar3977]

⁠@@CaryHardymy fears are real, 7.000 + vat for standard , 9.300€ + vat for the LE…final price 8.600€ standard and 11.500€ LE. why would ppl buy an new outdated pinball game when I can get the same used for 4.500€ in good condition? Please don’t say the screen…

Here I am over here still waiting for the re-re-release of Medieval Madness from CGC....Pedretti make it happen!

[@moobutt]

When Pulp Fiction is almost completely shipped (5-7 years from now) they will do another run of MMr 😂

[@clevelandgamingclassic]

looks great

[@MikeGervasi]

Pricing I read this morning was lower than that.

[@CaryHardy]

The pricing I quote is on their marketing Tier Matrix released to me...

[@peggrav8190]

I think it looks great, but why they didnt fix that creepy out of proportion head is beyond me. The Upper teir art is fantastic! Head mod for sure, but otherwise very nice

[@MrDementia]

Topper has a clock confirmed

[@VeryBad]

Great video

[@magsblack8344]

I assume the original sound package (I.e. callouts) is removed? In other words, is Ed Boon still the voice of Rudy or not? As nit picky as it may sound, if he’s not, that’s a deal breaker for me.

[@CaryHardy]

Should be all original sounds, except for the enhanced code - that might be different...

[@pinballconspiracy]

Ya original voice by Ed Boon or Bust IMO Still dont understand what exactly is “enhanced” for original or 1.5 etc

[@paulonatali5614]

Still awaiting for a TOM remake

[@joshgrube84]

Holy smokes, i wasn't expecting new art on the playfield. That takes balls big enough to come in a dump truck! Can anyone confirm if the blades and backglass are the same art that came with that shitty 2.0 kit?

[@robertmachen4364]

I think Funhouse is worthy of a remake. I am suspect of Pedretti making it. Bryan Allen art looks great! He is very deserving of this opportunity. The Pinball Co? At least the prices are set.

[@moobutt]

Why?

[@barrylenhart7240]

Why does almost everything drawn by Brian look like its a zombie or undead? Plus if he would pull back on the things he crams on the backglasses they would look better. The one he did for Aliens that wasnt used is cool. I have a print of that.

[@andyspinball]

Why doesn't the "classic edition" have the OG playfield too? I understand the DMD being modernized. And the "option" to get the 2.0 kit? Which, at this point is them sending your online connected machine a signal that it is "ok to play 2.0 now." And at what cost? Curious! The non original playfield in an original cabinet is also a hard stop for me, as it isn't better and it doesn't capture the original in any significant way. I have an original restored FH and I have the 2.0 kit installed in it. Way better direction if you have an OG restored machine to start with. Despite mine having the "upgrade kit" if you really want to call it that, is that I bought a mirrored CPR backglass for my game because I really don't like the new artwork. I also have the complete original boardset and all this can be reversed at will / sold or whatever. I don't mind remakes and I own both a Monster Bash and a Cactus Canyon from CGC and won't be missing the Medieval Madness remake if that happens.

[@pinballlover]

Can you do a video on haggis I have no word on my deposit other than it’s not refundable but will refund if they go bankrupt. It’s ridiculous. Hopefully funhouse gets delivered but who knows.

[@CaryHardy]

How long have you been waiting after paying deposit?

[@pinballlover]

July 5th. Told Zach even if it’s ready I don’t feel comfortable giving them more $ when there are paid in full mermaids still pending more many months. I guess if going bankrupt they said would cover it which is nice but haggis just needs to refund everyone if they even have the money still.

[@CaryHardy]

@@pinballlover that sucks. at least it's just a deposit. I would be very hesitant about paying in full. People need to stop paying in full unless they know for sure the game is ready to go.

[@Kennebec27]

If I had the funds...

[@jUSTsOMEwIZARD]

I don't understand how a 35 year old game with new art can be priced this high. There's no way this is going sell a lot of units

[@moobutt]

🙄🤦‍♂️ It’s not just an old game. The code, displays, artwork and all electronics have been upgraded and are new. The same way CGC’s are.

[@CaryHardy]

We will just have to wait and see...

[@viggin900]

Not a fan of the new artwork package. Way too dark. The playfield isn't bad though.

[@dvda1722]

please have an adult mode

[@juniorjr.]

This is gonna be a hard sell for anyone honestly, even if they really enjoy Funhouse. It is a good game, but are they really going to benefit with this machine including the two games on it? Also the art package looks nice I suppose but it does look weird, especially that cameo from the lady from Theatre of Magic (I presume), maybe it will get new players interested in playing classic games like Funhouse but I'm still mixed about this right now.

[@DustyEyeballs]

Interesting, just the flat rules aren't worth that amount of money to me. I had the Funhouse pinball machine for a while and sold it because of the flat rules. - p.s.: Pinball Universe is located in Germany -

Bro we can list off dozens of remake titles that everyone wants and they choose Funhouse. Wow what are they thinking?! All 2024 release titles are way base.

[@CaryHardy]

This is their "safe" remake. To make sure they can build and supply effectively with a game they have the most experience with. If all goes well, every game after this is a banger. This is least favorite of their lineup.
