Quoted from jkashani:What does this mean, as far as support, moving forward?
Well you still got the CGC ticket/help desk. They are supporting older stuff like Vacation Pinball, and their video games.
You still got me.
So I wouldn't worry about support.
LTG : )
not feasible or sellable ? WTF ?
perhaps if CGC could build them ! Cactus Canyon ,,, the last build for 2 companies now !
Maybe they think they can do better with the independent titles they have planned for the future.
The designers named in the past on Pinside for CGC games sure sounds exciting to me.

The problem with CGC is not that they don’t make a great product but they cost planetary Pinball a ton of money during the boom of Pinball the last few years with not being able to build games in mass.

First time you didn't quell the rumors, so there may be some truth to this , who knows guess we will see!
Designers are one thing , building them is another.
So hope they improve.

HaHa. Too funny.
Don't count on it.

I’ve been saying they’ve lost the license for remakes for awhile and LTG usually always responds “not true”
Thanks, what about boards and other specific CGC game parts?

If it is like their Arcade Legends products, you're on your own when it comes to needing parts down the road. I had to convert a machine to MAME because of it. Once bitten, twice shy. I would stick to B/W on those classic titles because the boards are serviceable, and parts are abundant. You're rolling the dice with CG and that is an expensive wager.
I kind of figured that.

Hopefully its different for the pins.

I'm sure CGC will do a decent job of supporting all the remakes they've put on the market. They are typically very good at the small stuff i.e. parts, etc
Not surprising PPS doesn't want to do business with CGC anymore. CGC is very good at the development side of the remakes, but is by far the worst in the industry at getting games out the door, and is even worse at customer communication.
Quoted from TheLaw:'We're still in the remake business
We should be able to remake the remakes for awHile
There are still games we want to remake
I'd like to even remake more games'
Brief synopsis
That’s what I heard as well lol.
I listened to this podcast when it came out. I didn’t take “no more remakes” from it at all. I heard “more remakes”.
But the fact that Lloyd didn’t say it wasn’t true is concerning for me!

I want a shot at a sub 10k MMR darnit.
I posted it on an old thread but felt it deserved a separate thread for people to chime in on. And the proof is in the pudding, no one commented on the old thread and this is getting a very interesting comments and stimulating conversation. I deleted the post in the old thread. Despite that this is seven months old I just saw it. I hope my posting etiquette is acceptable to you now.
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:This is 7 months old. And jkashani saw it already re posted on another thread. Now we need another one? At the time the rumors were that no more. This interview was to calm that down. Since then they said at least one more MMR.

Quoted from transprtr4u:maybe the only guy on the assembly line is retiring !
lol
Quoted from jackd104:This is a big nothing.
I hope so because I'm still waiting around for that final small run of MMr...
Quoted from transprtr4u:maybe the only guy on the assembly line is retiring !
Haha! I actually laughed out loud at that one!
IMG_6915.gifJust curious.
If you had a CGC AFM that was a paperweight for whatever reason and there was no support from CGC to repair the game. How difficult would it be to change it over to a B/W clone game? New boards for the back box, rewire the lights and switches and you’re good to go? The mechs and switches would still be the same, it would just be wired differently, right?
Well, I just bought a super nice Shadow, so I sure hope they don't remake that!
Actually, I don't care as IMO you can't beat the originals and nobody's taking any of mine.

Could be done. Handling the display would be the hardest part.

I don’t necessarily mean it indicates everything is fine (I hope for MMr, too). Just that the brief audio clip that whole video discusses is vague and doesn’t say anything much at all.
Quoted from o-din:Well, I just bought a super nice Shadow, so I sure hope they don't remake that!

Agreed and Congrats on the nice shadow, old friend

And the light boards as opposed to sockets ?
Quoted from gprotein:Agreed and Congrats on the nice shadow, old friend
Thanks G! And you should see what I've done with the place since last time you were here.

Now thats funny.....but sadly true 
Quoted from transprtr4u:And the light boards as opposed to sockets ?
Yes. Those light boards are probably all different. And while you're at it, you'll be able to install all those beautiful incandescent bulbs they scrapped for all the remakes and get rid of any excessive purple they might have also added.
That was a nice Shadow for sure.

Did you get to see it in person? It is a lot closer to you than it is to me. For now. I had to weed through a bunch of them over the last several months to pick what I thought was a winner.
But yeah, I'm as excited as kid in a candy store once again. Sorry to derail another remake thread.

Have you posted pics in the Shadow thread?
No in pics. I’m glad I did not see it in person as I may have bought it.

He's been great to deal with and is very meticulous and is reverting a lot of it back to stock the way I like it.
I was almost going to pass because of the distance, but pulled the trigger this morning because of him.
Quoted from Daditude:Have you posted pics in the Shadow thread?
Not til it gets here.

You know me, always a big fan for the old school Bally/Wms games! Love, love all the classics, can’t wait to visit your place again in the future

Announcing TSR coming soon 2080

Well, this is the no more remakes thread after all.
I'll still be able to get the flux capacitors or anything else to keep my original B/W games going long after they go out of business. Oh wait..
My MMR was assembled by Stern circa 1/2017. If CGC cannot make it, maybe contract manufacturing could work again.

cant see anyone leaving money on the table for remakes , sure someone will pick up the slack !

TBH he's been fantastic and active on the lab threads about early issues and stuff and glad you guys were able to get this done!

That looks like a ton of fun. I love the sign man. What time will the sandwiches and chips be ready for visitors?
