I feel the same way, in terms of wanting to see the other three games get the ULTRA treatment. My guess is that they're much smaller than Farsight, and they can only devote so much time of putting in the least noticeable of details.From what I've seen, Barnstorm is working with Arcooda on Timeshock -- The Arcade Edition. The last update was on July 11th, mentioned on their Checkpoint video. They're also working with Silver Castle Pinball, getting a prototype Timeshock ready to go, complete with playfield art.This argument is ridiculous. Do you know how much the FIFA World Cup license is? If there's no Kickstarter for it, then the license is so expensive that it's not worth going after. The title's acronym is still WCS, and we'd better have most of this table than none at all. All this over a trophy, a title, and other minor changes. I'd prefer World Champ Soccer over Challenge or A.G. any day.EDIT: They did this before. Last Action Hero and Phantom of the Opera, without the Data East logos. Frankenstein, without the Sega logo because of Sonic. Starship Troopers, while there in the DMD, is the same way. Addams Family, without some familiar faces. Are these "fake tables", too, without the original art or logos?This is not entirely on Farsight to blame for the delay of SPA. I'm sure they want to release a patch, along with the new tables, for the game just as much as we do. However, Stern is calling the shots (which is fairly common knowledge by now), and they're probably the reason why we haven't seen any updates on the game for so long. Cancellation of SPA? Hardly. Farsight touched upon it at ReplayFX and are still showing support for it. It's frustrating that it seems like forever, yes, but I'll be happy when Ghostbusters releases. It'll be worth seeing those fixes in, too.If SPA is cancelled, say goodbye to dozens of Stern, Data East, and Sega tables that could've seen the light of day. It's either Stern Pinball Arcade or no Stern in TPA.TL;DR: Patience. It sucks, but it's very much needed from what I've seen.
