[QUOTE="francis247uk, post: 222220, member: 820"] Amazing news - SO much to speculate over! Is the app going to be brand new and built from the ground up to utilise newer technologies that weren't around when PA was built (my preference) or will it in essence be a "Stern Branded" TPA, and if so, does that mean that Farsight have the ability to emulate newer table technologies? If it comes out on PC, will cabinet mode be supported? Will original artwork files, table ROM files & sounds from Stern be supplied to Farsight, or will they send them a table to breakdown? Or just allow them onsite at manufacture? Will it be for new Stern tables or older ones too, and if so, how far will they go back license wise? How much will it cost? How often will tables be released? Would Stern consider buying Farsight? Will Pinball Arcade take a backseat as a result of this new app? Are Farsight going to split the core staff to work on each separately? In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think Stern would want them eventually focusing on Stern tables only - pretty sure that having digital recreations of tables increases their real world value, and I'm sure this would be what Stern wants. Wonder how much control Farsight will have on the product, and how much Stern dictate what there'll be doing. Overall I think this can only be a good thing (hopefully no more TSPP/LOTR/Spiderman kickstarters?) but will be a real shame if season 5 is the end and we don't get any classic tables for the forseeable future. Whatever happens, I'm backing the Farsight & Stern colaboration all the way, great news for the future of virtual pinball. (Hope we also get a Stern Pinball Arcade Fans webpage! :)) [/QUOTE]
