I’m not the world’s biggest fan of Multimorphic‘s platform, the big LCD screen doesn’t do much for me, and because you can’t drill holes in it all the physical layouts for their games end up at the top of the playfield.

But perhaps with Valve being involved the quality of the LCD animations will be higher.

I was thinking the playfield looked a bit sparse and just kinda all at the top...but then the end of the trailer explained it for me.

It's a pretty neat setup I guess, looks like the game kits basically just swap that whole top section out (along with whatever software change) for different games? Cool but again seems to lead to all the action being at the top by default. Or can the kits have other bits lower down in the playfield?

Is there cake?

It is a lie.

There is Reggie to judge you though.

Checking the pinball thread of another forum I'm on, and this amusing Mastodon thread came up, of a repair tech checking out a P3 machine (Weird Al in this case):

Meanwhile Aurich's mention of Godzilla got me to check that out...and now I'm debating dropping way too much money on my first pinball machine. Course I considered it when Foo Fighters came out too so this feeling will probably pass. On the other hand, it's Godzilla, it's what he'd want for me!
