[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 114077, member: 1196"] Any new graphics power gains in the upcoming devices such as iPhone 6, iPhone 6S and iPad Whatever that occur over the next two years should be 100% devoted to getting SAM emulation running. Even if that means that SAM games will be exclusive to the newest devices, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, so be it. Same goes for Revenge from Mars, if they chose to pursue that. If you upgrade the graphics engine, then you can forget about having any left over power for SAM emulation. As it stands, the game looks amazing in it's current form. When I'm in the standard camera angle, it almost looks as good as console, minus the lighting of course. The lighting that's there isn't bad at all, and overall the game is gorgeous on iOS. Full clip 60FPS, little to no jaggies (on my "ancient" 4S phone no less), good geometry, good textures, the works. In some ways, mobile actually looks better than current gen console artistically. Bright, colorful, beautiful playfield art really shines on mobile, whereas on console it can be darkened out (though "day time" mode on PS4 might be a different story). Upgrading the visuals will also mean that iPhone 4, 4S and old iPads will be left in the dust. That's not a good idea right now, considering iOS is their biggest market. Me as well. I also want to add that with Victory, Class of 1812, and T'eed Off, the visuals have been "improved". They went with a darker lighting scheme. To me it looks awful, and details and artwork in 1812 is darkened out, but people keep complaining and this is what you're going to get. For worse. Strangely enough though, Haunted House hasn't seemed to suffer from this new art/graphics direction, so I really hope that the next tables are not darkened out and retain the bright, colorful, beautiful work that's standard for iOS. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
