Kineticist’s take
EGP hosts debate P3's mystery licensed game hype and warn against theme-based pre-orders.
Synopsis
Dennis and Tony from Eclectic Gamers discuss recent gaming and pinball experiences, including hands-on time with Rush pinball at Pizza West tournament and speculation about Multimorphic's P3's upcoming licensed game. They critique the hype-building marketing strategy and express caution about pre-ordering based on theme alone without gameplay experience, drawing parallels to the overhyped Wonka release.
