[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 291998, member: 134"] I keep seeing these posts about FX4, and I just wonder why? The current engine is just fine, as is the interface and functionality. Is it purely being speculated on because of the PS5 and new Xbox? Is it something people are demanding or just merely a "well it fits a timeline" sort of thing? I ask because the mobile versions of everything OTHER than the Williams tables are still very much FX2. The initial idea was to bring mobile up to FX3 standards as well as have it be unified with consoles and Steam. I guess that's a question I should ask Mel once more. The other thing is that if FX4 were to come out, they'd have to upgrade every single one of those tables yet again, which is quite the process. It would make sense to at that point also implement the new physics to those as an option, as they'd also be having to upgrade the lighting and graphics once again as they did going from FX2 to FX3. My point being, it's going to take a lot longer than late 2020 for FX4 with a new engine, graphics, physics, and lighting. I personally feel they will be sticking with FX3 for at least 2 more years. If Zen grabs the STERN license, especially with those video screen DMDs, that might justify a new upgrade to the game. It just seems to me that they haven't come close to tapping the potential of their current build. [/QUOTE]
