sometimes pinside, you crack me up. Hundreds of threads whinging about games being released before they were ready. Yet CGC does the right thing and waits until the game is ready and its whinge central too! We were flying over from the UK for this launch so its not great but still a huge amount going on at TPF!
Neil.
I can't see any tech issue delaying MBR unless its just late... BBB though, different platform, and even if it is pinmame based, bit different to drive a picture than an actual motor/coil etc. Whatever the delay its great to see someone have the cahonies to delay and get it as right as possible.
Quoted from CosmoJoe:CGC simply doesn't want a black eye. Also, my suspicion is that production is probably already underway so the delay of the announcement is not delaying the actual shipping of the game.
or an pirates eyepatch!
Quoted from HighVoltage:It was all discussed in our recent pinball club meeting, the recorded minutes are below, see for yourselves.

quality!
I have my pro streaming gear here at expo so trying to convince them to let me stream it..
In the mean time this should give you a good taste
The Colours pop so well.
Add twitch.tv/Neimcrae to you friends Incase they let me stream it...
Quoted from Mrawesome44:You hear that sound guys? Thats the sound of the original monster bash prices crashing to the ground. MM didnt take too much of a hit but afm sure did.
In the UK awe are seeing a lot of pins with few buyers - buyers market right now.
Quoted from Rarehero:Original DMDs are wide. The new big one is just bigger. It’s literally the same as if you went into a store and saw the same image on small TVs and big TVs. They don’t have to redo anything. It’s just a bigger display in the same ratio.
yes the ratio is the same, but the pixels per square inch are not. Having looked at the widescreen MMR close up it looks in my view that they have used the extra resolution.
Neil.
Quoted from Rarehero:They didn’t change anything. One is a small 1080p screen, the other is a larger 1080p screen.
Only one of them is a 1080p screen one is not - and I’ll re-iterate -> dots per square inch is different.
Neil.
Quoted from Rarehero:Sure dots per square inch is different cuz the size is different. They don’t have to re-do the graphics for a bigger screen. I don’t know why this is so hard to comprehend. If you watch a movie on a small screen and then watch it on a big screen, it’s the same movie. Nothing is “redone” for screen sizes.
I'm not the one can't comprehend this, and btw I run three TV channels and have a bunch of patents in TV and video 
- Do they need to re-draw it; no - will it look better if they do - yes; on TV's that works because you have a chip that decides how to render the image onto the screen, but if you put SD content on a UHD screen without some type of re-rendering process it looks shit.
If you don't redraw it; or use some type of scaling algorithm (i.e. redraw it) it looks shit. Especially at the dot range difference we are talking about. I have my MMR and AMFR plugged into a video desk at home so I can stream them and I spent a great deal of time at Logan looking at the graphics and they have absolutely done something to improve the resolution of the graphics and at least some of that, to my eyes, is redrawn augmented graphics for a very different display.

Neil.
Here is the display that CGC use in AFMR and MBR LE/SE. I ordered two of them, one to put into MMR and one to see if I could build a wide screen colordmd the latter of which I'm not far away from making work - below is the model number
JL215AT640 19.8″ (21.5“3/5) 476.6×158.9 1920×640 250 85/85/80/80 495.8×183.1 MP
But the screen actually syncs at 1280x600.
Cheers,
Neil.
Quoted from Rarehero:Fantastic. That doesn’t change the fact that the CONTENT outputting to the screen is exactly the same & has not and does not have to be altered to display in different sized screens.
AFMr, whether you’re playing the small or big screen version is sending the same content to the screen. Same with MBr....and when CGC releases a big screen kit for MMr, it will display the content exactly as it was already created years ago.
Apologies - I don't disagree with that, but when I saw MMR Widescreen at Logan it definitely looks like the graphics had been updated. There is no doubt that the graphics in AFMR and MBR have more quality to them than MMR and I think because of the widescreen exposes the weakness in the graphics more. I did a quick experiment with MMR tonight
and comparing the graphics on a larger screen vs the smaller screen on MMR definitely makes the poorer quality of the graphics show. Do they need to update MMR for the widescreen, I agree with you they don't but it doesn't look as good as the gfx in AFMR and MBR predominately because of the dot pitch in the widescreen.
Neil.
