Here's a hot rumor to get your day started this morning. Kaneda's Pinball Podcast is reporting that Pinball Brothers' next game is based on the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger Action / Sci-fi film Predator.
According to his rumor, the game will feature actual assets from the movie, much like Pinball Brothers' previous game Alien. He also said that it is a widebody pin that will be officially revealed on April 25th and may make an appearance at the Pinfest show in Allentown, Pennsylvania - which takes place on May 2nd and 3rd.
So there you have it. I have a couple of feelers out there to see what I can find out, but as it stands right now this long-rumored title does indeed appear to be coming. That would be a big get for Pinball Brothers. I love the movie and just watched it again a couple of weeks ago.
To get you warmed up for the game, below is a great article on the history of the movie called "Guns and (Shea) Butter: An Oral History of ‘Predator’" from The Hollywood Reporter
Hope it's the Jim Henson version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSHMYhQiuY8&ab_channel=PixelRiot
If the rumor IS true, it better be the original film, and not the Adrian Brody 'Predators' film..if they did the former, I doubt they would survive another flop. OEM Predator for the win! (and makes sense to have the original Predator to sit next to Alien, so there is that).
Get to the choppa multiball! Disarm the predator self destruct frenzy mode!
Great news! I own Alien LV and love it, Instant buy for me. Finger crossed.
Double big news. Very cool title and Kaneda un-quit pinball. Welcome back Chris.
