I really hope it is proto - especially from the art package point of view. It would be a huge step backwards if it was photoshop crap all over again. Although I can understand cost cutting to non pinball fan sales to Ford reps. Pinball fans that have watched Stern's standard rise in leaps and bounds won't fall for another "Rolling Stones" standard package.
I'm waiting for pictures of the release game, rather than writing the game off, but I hope it is a dramatic change from what we see already.
