Stern have done a great job with this machine. Beyond Franchi's terrific artwork and the excellent way in which the Beatles' assets (music and clips/photos) have been integrated, this machine plays fast and furious in a straightforward yet engaging, "just one more game" way. It was absolutely the right choice to go with a one-level field. Codes may not be that deep, but the build-up of levels and layered wizards keep bringing surprises. As for the $4k machine comment, I think that was a devil's advocate comment, as I'm sure Greg is aware that component-wise the Beatles pin has as much packed into it as a Premium, just that it doesn't have the cheap ramps and playfield figurines. And we know where the rest went, regards licensing. Ultimately, it's possibly the case that this machine plays to the sentiments of an older clientele, not only in terms of theme but also in the way it reminiscent of an EM machine, yet is far superior to such in every way. I think any rap it gets rests not simply with the price but the altogether different perspectives and requirements some have of their machines, as multi-leveled theme parks rather than fast, jukebox style simple players. Neither is necessarily superior - they simply offer different things. For anyone tempted but hesitating in buying one I'd echo one of Cousin Brucie quips that you might hear when lingering too long over the ball: "DO IT!"

Zach is not ment to review Stern pin, as he sells them, witch is great, but what’s going on this review?? Greg is trying to tell us his feelings about this pin and Zach attack’s back on all most all statements and keeps on saying its the best stern pin out there, soooo many times again and again. Now you guys have the BEST pinball show ever, the best, I’ve enjoyed all your videos from the start, all back when the audio was bad and all that, love you guys and your show, BUT this video..... Zach please don’t do it like this again. Try to watch this video, it feels like Greg is not allowed to have his C option about this pin. Greg im totally with you on this one😁👍🏻

I haven’t had a chance to play this table, but I’m a pretty good Beatles fan and I would totally prefer the later era of Beatles where the music got more experimental, and frankly, better. The Beatlemania theme is really cool but I think it would be great if Stern made another table with songs from Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, The White Album, etc. and a psychedelic theme like Greg mentioned.

I think The Beatles pinball machine is one of Stern's best. Great art work and it plays well and the theme hit's it out of the park. It's been out now over two years and it's really hard to find on the used market.
@memyopinionsche66105 жыл бұрын
I never been a fan of tons of bells and whistles in pinball machines. It cramps up the Playfield with a lot of ramps. I mean they're nice and they look cool but they take a lot of the area of the Playfield and shortens up the game.. I mean I finally got to play Deadpool Iron Maiden and AC/DC and DEADPOOL will be my favorite. The great open space not cluttered up. And looks like the Beatles has that open space you can control the ball better. I think...haven't played it yet. So hopefully one day.

Greg is 100% right, everyone need to look up the word innovation. I'll help: - a new method, idea, product, etc. A literal remake cannot be considered innovative. There's no idea on this play field that wasn't done in the Sea Witch era and the game doesn't bring anything new compared to any modern Stern. Now if we were talking about the spinner alone and not a while pinball machine, sure, very innovative... At this rate Whoa Nelly is an A+ for innovation because it's got a new spinning reel system.
@SDTM5 жыл бұрын
rask4p I still disagree. I think rating innovation is about recognizing what new the company is bringing to market, better than before. Bringing a new method by perfecting an older classic is innovative to me, moreso than rehashing the same mechs Or Shots that some games have. (Zach)
@rask4p5 жыл бұрын
@@SDTM I think it's great to bring old games back, but I wouldn't call it innovative. I'll make the argument another way, would Bride of Pinbot 2.0 be more or less innovative than The Beatles. Would Batman '66 be more or less innovative? Would you consider building a modern street level game like TNA, but bringing never before seen elements more of less innovative? We have examples of old games getting new software and old games getting play field refinements multiple times and I don't think you can say doing it again is any kind of innovation. I'm not saying it's a bad game, or that I don't love the way it looks, I just don't consider the game as breaking new ground. Everything that it does, it does very well, but none of it is new. It has to score low in innovation.

The game is ok to me. For what it is I think it is extremely well done. I'm not a Beatles fan so the theme doesn't get me excited. The price is high for what the game is for me. My favorite early stern is Quicksilver, I love it. I feel like they went with the Sea Witch layout because of the loops that people love, also coming off the heels of iron maiden with loop shots. The art is fantastic! Stern has the corner on pinball art far and away!! I agree with Greg, I won't own one, but I will play it whenever I see one.

Lots of potential... and the pinbal looks so simple like the old pinballs. They could add so many features. They could use things from SGT Pepper, They culd add yellow submarine.. Well.. maybe I played too many of those Indiana Jones, Pinbot, Lord of The Rings and others with so many nice extra elements added on the table, some extra rails, some interactive object. I have a feeling playing 10 mins and you get bored with Beatles Pinball.

Greg’s take on Beatles is rough. The machine is about artwork, graphics, nostalgia, and collectibility .... it’s fairly basic to have a retro feel. Not having all the new bells and whistles is on purpose, not a design flaw for serious pinballers.

I get that Zach isn't supposed to review these pins as a conflict of interest issue for his business, but if you're going to be so overly critical of what everyone is saying anyway then just partake in the Damn review. I would rather see you review the pin than review what everyone else said about the pin. It was a little irritating just hearing Zach talk over Greg the whole time. I still love ya, Zach, but if you're going to give your opinion anyway, just do it the way you normally do.
