Its gonna be all about the game play. I personally feel Stern has the wrong size display. JJP has it right if you are gonna add video clips and such.....think about a jump to hyperspace on a big screen VS the tiny screen of Stern.
it wont be long and we will find out how the game plays. Hopefully it is bad ass!
As far as code goes if anyone is expecting anything different from Stern you need to hit the crack pipe some more. Code is the last thing Stern cares about. As long as it flips and has a basic rule set so all the major features function they will kick it out the door. Then it's on to the next title and it will be YEARS to complete or abandon further code updates. BM66 has so much to be coded it will take years to complete at the snails pace it takes Stern for code updates. It really is a shame because Stern made such a big deal with BM66 and it is very iconic and had a chance to make something special and it really isn't all that.
I hope they get it right with Star Wars!
