[QUOTE="invitro, post: 239607, member: 446"] I'm unsure, but I'm leaning toward making this post to say that "redone" might be too strong a term to use. I'm getting concerned that people here are going to expect too much from the existing tables in SPA and Physics 4.0. Here are the relevant official statements I can find in my notes. The first couple are from the AC/DC Kickstarter page: [I]With the release of the Stern Pinball Arcade we will be implementing FarSight Pinball Physics 4.0 which will be even more realistic.[/I] [I]- Ecktown: @FarSight Studios: In Table Pack One the only table apart from ACDC that really interests me is Star Trek as the other two are already on Pinball Arcade. Will there be a possibility to buy just Star Trek or do I have to buy the Table Pack One for one table that interests me, one I already have if the kickstarter is succesful and two tables I already have in Pinball Arcade? (Which in any case makes me wonder why there will be tables in the Stern Arcade that are already in the Pinball Arcade. Are these tables going to be done again or are they going to be identical with the previous version?) Or is the Table Pack One going to be part of a season as in Pinball Arcade? I could live with that because there certainly would be other tables that I would love to play (e.g. Ghostbusters!). I guess that there would be a total of 10 tables if you go for the season option which would make buying the ACDC table again much more bearable. - FS: @Ecktown, Star Trek will be available individually. The tables from Pinball Arcade are going to be improved for Stern Pinball Arcade. It's possible there will be something like a season pass in the future but for now Table Pack One is the only bundle.[/I] Here is a PAF post by Farsight employee @[URL="http://digitalpinballfans.com/member.php?u=5878"]Strikezilla01[/URL]: [I]There will be a graphical update for Frankenstein and Starship Troopers when the Stern App has officially launched![/I] [URL]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/11467-New-Stern-Pinball-Arcade-AC-DC-Kickstarer-is-live!?p=238819&viewfull=1#post238819[/URL] Here's a Farsight Facebook post: [URL]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/11467-New-Stern-Pinball-Arcade-AC-DC-Kickstarer-is-live!?p=238858&viewfull=1#post238858[/URL] [I]A) The price for the newer contemporary tables will be $9.99.

And, to be sure, the ability to bypass an emulator for the SAM/Spike tables means nothing to the older/pre-existing tables, of course. :) [/QUOTE]
