[QUOTE="HotHamBoy, post: 270637, member: 4638"] I don't see how the new LCD platform is even possible for Farsight so I'd count out anything Batman 66 and after. Ghostbusters was a struggle, it released 9 months late and had big problems for months after on all platforms. The new LCD platform is even more demanding. What's more, it's a whole new system of gigabytes of video, graphical overlays and more in dense folder trees with complex calls. With DMD, the app is just drawing the dots as if it were a DMD display and that takes up no space. With LCD, the video is pre-recorded, graphics and animations and other various display assets are all stored and called up. That's a ton more data, that's a ton more processing. It's not happening on the current platform. Think about it. There's a reason the next tables are Big Buck Hunter and Woah Nellie. The only SPIKE table is Ghostbusters and the struggle was real, they don't seem to be eager to tackle any more any time soon or they'd be going after garaunteed big sellers like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. You think they'll even bother with the new LCD platform? [/QUOTE]
