[QUOTE="PS Garek, post: 102279, member: 1740"] Stern has been testing out the SAM 2 boards both on their "The Pin" line games, as well as on a couple locations loaded into current machines. Some folks had speculated this would lead to them integrating an LCD into the game, but that appears to not be the case (or delayed down the line to whatever Trudeau's game is). I believe that the SAM 2 boards also have an HDMI out (based on someone opening up one of The Pins) but again that might be speculation. In terms of the art not having the photoshopped actor's faces, I have a couple guesses as to why that is. The first is that photoshopped actors faces has long been a complaint of Stern's art packages, so they decided to skip them for this one. Second, I think this might be Greg Freres' first full art package with Stern since coming on as art director and he wanted to do something different (he was around for Metallica but Dirty Donny did most of it). Third, the Premium and LE versions have an "[URL="http://www.sternpinball.com/upload/Games/startrek/Star%20Trek%20Pinball%20Features.pdf"]Animated Playfield Laser Starfield Projector[/URL]" and in order to make whatever that is pop they needed art that wasn't super busy.
