Quoted from PinballHelp:How is technology advancing at Stern? Can you name one "innovation" they've done?
Their games are still in mono. P2K was in stereo.
Stern is worthy of many accolades, but "innovation" IMO has never been one of them. Stern has copied other peoples' tech since day one. They weren't even the first company to offer LE machines.
I think the color changing LEDs tied to the software is a big innovation. Also, games today seem to have more music, voices, and complex rules. I think the memory banks are larger.
I agree with you in that we have not seen anything as innovating as pin2k and that is sad. I love my RFM. That platform had unlimited potential.
