I dunno - I'm barely awake following a tournament today that I barely had any sleep for in the first place - but I think that the playfield and the art on it strikes me as looking a lot better than the previous version I've seen. I could just be going crackers but I'm wondering if the art has been colour balanced in some way, or whatever is missing has helped to open the field visibility somewhat?
EDIT: Actually I think I'm spot on, compare it to this last video:
Could easily have been a ****ty camera but the newer field seems much more bright and blue on the bottom of the playfield instead of dark and purple. And immediately you can see they've replaced the bottom half of the plastic left return rail for a wireframe instead, which looks a ton better. They cost a bomb more but rails are just so much better looking than plastic.
Really aren't seeing missing items from the new playfield, just alterations like that they changed the shape of the screen.
Still very, very keen to play this one. Yeah art and animation is ropey but I don't see it a big deal, and if anything for this particular theme it's almost aesthetic.
