I think adding a LCD screen will bring "EVERYTHING" to the pinball game. Just play Revenge from Mars, or play Star Wars Episode 1 and feel the difference.
Its not pure pinball, but its "different" pinball. and people like choice and differences. U play a different machine everytime u walk into your games room because of the mood u are in. So, u will buy a game today, based on it being different. I dont want to see pinball ALL move to the LCD screen situation, but maybe a choice.
What we need is for the Pro model to be stock like it is now, with a dot matrix display, and for the LE to have the LCD screen. Everyone wins. 2 x simple choices. We dont need to overcomplicate every machine, maybe just one version or the 2 x versions.
Sterns current technology works well, so only change it if u need to. Adding anything is fine, provided we dont end up with pinball machines that look n feel too much like video machines.
We all need to be careful we dont ask for too much change too quick. The last thing i want is for everything to feel like a video game. Classic pinball works well.
*Just a choice on the title with the Pro staying the same is great, and maybe a LE with the LCD will be enough options.
