John Wick Pinball Presented by Stern Pinball

In Stern’s "John Wick" pinball, players step into the role of the world’s greatest assassin as he fights to escape his past. As the titular character, players can engage in high-speed car chases and fast-action drifting across the playfield, which incorporates models and artwork inspired by iconic locations from the franchise, including the New York Continental Hotel and the Red Circle Club, all set against a dramatically edge lit New York City skyline. Players can also open "John Wick’s" weapons crate to reveal a hidden shot target path to retrieve an array of weapons. Players must use the sculpted Blood Oath Marker carefully - or risk the consequences. Players need to survive other assassins, complete jobs for the legendary Factions of the High Table, and eventually take on "John Wick’s" “Special Assignment!”
To raise the stakes, "John Wick" pinball introduces Stern’s all-new dynamic combat system, an innovation that brings the frenetic combat of the legendary films to the game. The Stern team has created a new system to control the enemy lights on the playfield, setting the "John Wick" pinball games apart from prior pinball machines, where all lights were controlled by player actions, timers, and random number generations. In this new combat system, enemy icons are responsive to player behavior and will illuminate dynamically around the playfield to challenge the player. The enemies move tactically with this dynamic software to counter player objectives, creating a unique challenge in each game session. The system also features a new action video player that dynamically reflects player action - as you defeat three enemies, you’ll see video clips of "John Wick" doing the same in the films!

[@JackpotMike77]

Just like making the jaws flop where the shark doesn't eat the ball, there's no harpoon gun shooting at a shark and no underwater playfield. They like to ignore fun ideas...

[@juniorjr.]

I'm thinking possibly this will be fixed later in the code. Like in the Jaws Pinball, the art package only showed Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss but not Roy Scheider until he was on LCD screen. Also didn't the art package for James Bond have the posters of the films he was in, and he had a gun on those? Maybe it was only for that pin specifically.

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Where’s the killing and guns? If two people don’t die on ball launch it’s not a John Wick game.

Stern had gotten silver balls cheap

[@hitoriwa]

we don't want the shark to eat the ball. it slows down competitive play (like Adam's Family THING lock) and those mechs always break or never work right (i.e. Stranger Things)

[@JackpotMike77]

@hitoriwa rofl, you can't be very competitive. Or have clearly never played a jaws. Every single feature on jaws slows down the play. The long slow movie scene that can't be skipped. The post on inlanes that keeps trapping ball. Ability to trap ball on side flipper. Every single person I have met wanted the shark to eat the balls. Rolling through a subway and ejector would take literally 1 second.....

They do that with many of the pros, such as removing the movement feature or removing the toy and replacing it with a plastic cutout.

I love me some Gomez but i dont like to imagine bad dudes getting their brains beat out with nunchucks. Thats just gross Stern. Wick made clean kills with guns.

Not gonna lie the weapons crate looks really cheap but everything else looks pretty dope. But how can you make a pinball about 4 movies of John Wick and have him holding a sword and a numchuck and Not one gun in any art at all?? Seems really stupid. What's next? A Punisher Pin where he uses a carrot to fight?

[@jackcoleman1784]

So I wasn't going to say anything about the lack of guns in the game. I noticed it but wasn't going to say it. Then I also noticed that you specifically used absolutely no footage of him using a gun from any of the films. Which tells me you're painfully aware of their absence and decided not to use any footage of him using guns because it would be putting a magnifying glass on the existence of a weakness of this game that you are more than aware of. I love you guys and I love your games but you have to do better than this for the money you're asking for these.

This might be the worst game you've ever made. John Wick isn't even featured on the LE like huh? No guns then why did you agree to make this theme? The artwork is terrible. All the mechs are totally pointless. Wow what a disaster. This game isn't worth 13k and my guess is you won't sell half that number. This game I'm betting sells worse than Venom despite the cool theme. Stern you've really lost your way.

[@lobo2k]

I agree with you on everything, doesn't appeal to me but Wick is all over the LE? you can't see one of the sides but he's posing with a sword on the back glass and on the PF 2x at least. And ya a car diverter and his trunk is not awe inspiring eh. Also, Venom is amazing. I can't speak for sales but it's 10x better than Bond

[@cleanandlevel]

both of you are on it. this looks like trash. what a joke. nothing new to bring to the hobby, if it was my first table I would have brought a fresh idea that's been nagging at me for years not a fan layout with nothing new. wouldn't hate on Stern though.. Jaws, Venom and Foo were all amazing. Just need to get back to an experienced designer.

[@redrum3r]

Its pretty smart for stern to start future proofing the business. The local arcade in town already bought 2 John Wicks before the trailer even came out. Hopefully this is a move away from the home market. The next generation of pinball players won't be able to afford houses, which means we need to go back to an operator's market or the hobby will be dead(again) by 2050.
