    Quoted from Law:

    Just listened to Coast 2 Coast 153 and Andrew Heighway had some interesting things to say about their upcoming titles 3+4. This is just me guessing but here's what was stated in the interview:
    -Titles 3+4 are licenses
    -They are wary of doing too many of the same thing, for example "too many cartoon themes".
    -Something about a cartoon with adult language.
    -Theme that has been done before as a pinball machine and has the staying power to be revisited.
    To me, at least, I really got the South Park vibe from the comments. I'll re-listen and see if I can get some more relevant quotes.
    Relevant bits start around 13 minutes in, thoughts?

    Good guess I would say.

    SP seems like a perfect title to revisit. The first game is generally considered poor, and it came early in the series.

    And it is well known SP earned a ton on route and Heighway is aiming at operators, so to go with a title known to already earn, but give it an update. This could be TSPP to the original Simpsons.

    Quoted from taylor34:

    Also, with his interview, if they really do produce 400 to 500 a month at that 6k price point, someone is going out of business...it'll be really hard to convince someone to buy a $7500 Stern LE or a $9k Hobbit if there's a $6k Alien with LCD screen available. Question is, can he deliver on that?

    Someone is going out of business IF the market isn't expanded by location games.

    If they're all fighting over trying to sell to us, then yeah it will get ugly.

    The biggest blood bath will be on the high end. JJP/DP .... such a small pool of buyers for $8k+ pins. At least Heighway is positioned to compete with the Stern Pros and the modular games are very competitive.

    There was a back to the future poster spotted in their offices in their last video.

    That would qualify as a game that was made a long time ago and could be done a lot better now.
