[QUOTE="mpclemens, post: 170930, member: 3012"] Explicitly stated? I don't recall it ever been publicly stated, but my search-fu is not strong. From a coding point of view, I would expect FS to just release these as two tables -- standard and gold -- with similar but not identical assets. Tune the physics and the mesh on the base machine, clone it, and make the gold with the new graphic assets and ROM. Were I king of the world, anyway. This would also help sidestep the ongoing drama about "will gold be a backer exclusive." The standard table would be available for a while, and then gold after some time, probably at a premium price. Lifetime exclusivity would be insane -- can you imagine the [I]whining[/I]? And what about the people who don't make it into the KS, or who (heaven forbid) [I]buy a new platform[/I] in the future? "Oh, sorry, we'll never release TAF Gold for the Playstation Five/Xbox Two because it wasn't in the Kickstarter." :rolleyes: Who knows anything, on the Internet? I'd ask directly if the question is really burning, but offhand, I'd say that it's a very complex license negotiation: images for the actors, voice work for Ms. Huston and the Julia estate, the Addams estate, whoever owns the movie rights these days, the pinball rights... Just getting everyone to the negotiating table was surely a mountain-must-come-to-Mohammed moment for FS. Besides, it finally gives the board something new to whine about. TSPP/Indy topics are taking the place of "when will TAF ever come to TPA?" :D [/QUOTE]
