I don't know where everyone is getting this DMD story from. The cabinet picture clearly shows a larger screen than a DMD.

Quoted from Fishbeadtwo:any speculation on if GB will be offered in 3 versions?
Leaked pics only showed two, but I can't imagine Stern will abandon the profitability of a Pro/Premium/LE setup.

Not THAT much bigger. Looks like a SEGA Batman pin display, and that could be just an illusion of the way they trimmed it in black and had a huge "STERN" on it that's much bigger than the usual Stern Pinball logo.

I personally thought the size was the same , at the end of the day that was just concept art to show what it may look like which we are basing this information on. For all we know the game may come with a larger dmd or lcd screen 
we will just have to wait and see!
I still think the 30 year countdown will finish up around the Texas show and the significance will be the latest machine will have the latest new technology of the lcd dmd - baywatch size.

Just saw a post from Pacak that he might have a GB at the Ohio show... March 31 - April 2nd. That would be fantastic! TBL, Full Throttle, maybe Alien too!

Hope you're right, Jady. I keep thinking Spiderman VE + production delays are pushing back the Ghostbusters release date, but there's that child-like hope saying it's the new display. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing the playfield on this game.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Just about all cars have touch screens or LCD screens now no reason why pinball should not have one as well.
Quoted from Rarehero:Cargument!!! Maybe cars should have flippers.
ohhhhh, but they DO!
I imagine a giant flipper that comes out and pushes the camped out car in front of you to the non passing lane...lol
I just saw something in another thread that said the spike games have not come out with shaker motors in them. I wonder if this will be true for ghostbusters?
Quoted from Butch2099:I just saw something in another thread that said the spike games have not come out with shaker motors in them. I wonder if this will be true for ghostbusters?
They're t-nutted for them on the right inside of the cabinet, it's about a 10 minute job to add one, but it's different from the shaker motor kit for the SAM machines (the SAM ones require an extra board and different wiring which isn't necessary on the Spike machines).

Lexus IS300 by my estimation
The only crime is that it's an automatic to begin with 
Quoted from Strange:The real innovation needs to happen on the playfield and the ruleset
Yes sir, I don't care about the display at all, some of my current favorite games are alpha numeric, I will say I like the Heighway style the best right now.
Quoted from epotech:I don't know where everyone is getting this DMD story from. The cabinet picture clearly shows a larger screen than a DMD.
Probably from Stern themselves. After Spiderman Vault Jody said (paraphrasing) 'the next game will have a TFT screen'. Stern quickly retracted and said 'later this year... But not the next one'
Did anyone see who the main villain is in the reboot?
I really hope Sony doesn't have any unusual demands like putting the new villain into the pinball machine.
I don't know about others, but I don't trust Sony when it comes to keeping things pure.

Lol. You dont care for displays at all, but you like heighway style the best, and they have 2 displays.

Quoted from musketd:Actually the first two ghostbusters movies not only the first
Of course as the two stand up targets (like the ones on CC) which can be seen on the leaked whitewood are suppose to represent the Scoleri Brothers (from theories and my opinion) from the court room scene in GB 2 :

Quoted from Plungemaster:Lol. You dont care for displays at all, but you like heighway style the best, and they have 2 displays.
What? Yeah I don't care but if I had to choose from the current line up my preference is Heighway, I like the PF display as its at least somthing different and somewhat more interactive with gameplay, make sense now?

Yeah but only on the premium and LE, right?
Quoted from catboxer:Yeah but only on the premium and LE, right?
No, those are based on the video game.
Quoted from benheck:Seems like it would be announced once Stern recaps all their games to the present. Makes the most sense?
How many titles left to recap * frequency = GB reveal date.
May 20th? (weekdays only and coming title editions, unless i miss-counted). Makes sense, though.
(Hope it is sooner. Probably be in March unless they are just that far behind on production.)
Quoted from visi0n:May 20th? (weekdays only and coming title editions, unless i miss-counted).
Damn, that's too long!

Not a theory, there are some pictures floating around of the middle of the playfield (not whitewood)
Left is Tony, Right is Nunzio

See, I think it makes more sense that GB will still be announced this month (with a regular DMD). And then they'll make a big deal about the end of the 30 year recap by announcing the "next big innovation in pinball" with their first LCD.
GB will be their first completely new title for 2016 (Spider-Man VE is technically a re-release). I just don't see how on earth they would wait until May to announce it.

He has a lot more to talk about with the WWE Update 
Quoted from kpg:GB is *THE* game that should come with a color screen from the factory, period. A slimer animation in red dots? Come on... it would look like a blood clot with teeth.
Quoted from lowepg:Just like GoT was *THE* perfect game for color...
and just like the next game (star wars?) would be *the* game for an upgraded display.
Frankly, EVERY game released post-WoZ should have been color, IMO.
Just like acdc and met (I'm ok without including kiss) should have had kick-ass sound systems, at least should have been offered in stereo, but no ..............

If they're backlogged on production, why announce something they can't make right now anyway?
Quoted from epthegeek:If they're backlogged on production, why announce something they can't make right now anyway?
But don't they always announce their new pins before production actually begins anyway? (I could be wrong about this, but I always had the impression that's why there was a lull between their announcements and shipment)
So even if there is a delay in production, I would imagine they have a handle on knowing the exact date of when they'll be able to actually begin production on GB regardless. With all that in mind, I don't see the big deal in the announcement staying in the original timeframe (granted that the production delay isn't more than a month behind).

That doesn't matter, they just shall announce it and take my money.
Sana'a
Quoted from vid1900:Who cares when the announce it?
Whenever it happens, it happens.
My life doesn't hang in the balance on when they announce, however...
1) I'm just personally excited to see it
2) I'm just personally excited to see this thread end, aren't we all?

HA! I think I'm actually more excited about 2)
... I just can't bring myself to drain the thread, I want to see it die a peaceful, natural death..
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Just like acdc and met (I'm ok without including kiss) should have had kick-ass sound systems, at have been in stereo, but no ..............
Well, yes, you're right.
My point was once JJP showed hat COULD be done (stereo, fell color, etc), Stern really COULD (should?) have stepped up their game.
Unlikely Stern will change unless WE make it financially risk NOT to. In other words, pinheads stop blindly selling out LE models before they are even shown (much less shipping).
Quoted from j69:2 new pf artwork pics leaked
They don't show much, but they still managed to make me more excited for this game.
