New Stern - Transformers

[Cow Corner]

Sounds great, this  could be the title that makes me spalsh out for a nib.
Hope it turns out well. Who is designing this?

Look up the latest podcast - spooky pinball as they talk to the artist, but for the life of me I can't remember the name - pretty sure he was involved in the Revenge from mars and Star wars episode 1 games.

George Gomez in charge of this one, I would prefer a Steve Ritchie game but I am still extremely intrigued by this release.

Maybe they are trying to be the first with the new upgrade (rumoured LCD) to take money away from possible WOZ buyers.

won't be long ............

I don't think Stern were looking at a full LCD, I think they are going to use a multicoloured DMD

[Cow Corner]

I really hope this does have a lcd screen, that would push me over the line to buy one if the game is solid.
Also I noticed at the end of the trailer it says are you autobot or a decepticon? Does this mean you will be able to choose what side your on when you play?
That would be cool, it could have different aminations and audio etc depending on what side you picked, good or bad but it will prob just be autobot art on one side and decepticon art on the other.

I'm more excited by a coloured DMD, Video screens have been done before and have always been a flop, if I wanted to watch a big video I'd play a video game, the coloured DMDs look fantastic

Check one out here:

Wow they look fantastic!
 
The video on the AFM....wow!

Looking forward to seeing what they do with this title as no doubt it will be used on their future games.For me DMD coloured or not at the end of the day it still is a DMD display  .I would like to see an LCD used,get rid of the translite or backglass and have something in that space thats showing something that both the player and people watching can enjoy.

The coloured dmd did look great with animations but I realy would prefer a lcd on tf.
I can't wait to see both tf and woz released so I can decide on a title.
I'ts great to see healthy competition again anway.
Fingers crossed that's this is a turning point for pinball.

I believe the colour dmd is made of leds, therefore an lcd panel would have more colours!

Depending on the LED controller... 16 million colours quite possible.
Also bear in mind that LCD is not as durable as an LED array.... but it would be cheaper and not pixelled
