Isn't it a FOX (now Disney) license? I've been very content w my lineup, and really couldn't think of a theme that would really entice me to buy.
Then, I thought of Predator......surely I'm not alone....thoughts?
Added a poll...Why not..
As long as it’s based on the original movie I’d be all in. Then people would get my obscure quotes from that movie.
“Over here....”
Quoted from mrm_4:As long as it’s based on the original movie I’d be all in. Then people would get my obscure quotes from that movie.
“Over here....”
Ditto....so much good material in that movie..seems a legit sci-fi horror theme would be open to all sorts of cool stuff to attack on the playfield...
Quoted from splitskull:not again...
Yep...if some of these other titles keep getting brought up, why not? 
Why not...there is history with this title....I believe some folks lost money so some heartburn and sure no one is interested in this same old song and dance.
But if someone did it based on the original film it could be Bad Ass! But it would HAVE to have music/call outs/ and clips from the movie or why bother. Gameplay would have to be excellent and most importantly it would have to be built and ready to ship before people would buy it.
It’s an old theme and not likely to happen by a major manufacturer.
Quoted from MK6PIN:Any thoughts on a "real" predator machine?
Maybe. But only if it has original callouts done by Chris Hansen.
Quoted from Pickle:Why not...there is history with this title....I believe some folks lost money so some heartburn and sure no one is interested in this same old song and dance.
Agreed, hence I put "real" in the title. That pos screwed alot of people.
Dare I say Stern on this one? Might be too aggressive for JJP. I want a legit pinball manufacturer to make one based on the original movie...Could definitely be badass..
Probably won't happen for same reason there won't be a Rambo pinball. The theme is too dated.
And as for dated themes, why not a Princess Bride pinball? The fact that it hasn't been done is inconceivable.
Quoted from Pinmeister:there won't be a Rambo pinball. The theme is too dated.
Hearing the Predator doing Billy’s laugh on an outlane drain
Or “I ain’t got time to bleed” during a ball save
The one liners alone would hook me
Quoted from splitskull:not again...
What's the matter?
CIA got you pushing too many pencils ?
Quoted from Pinmeister:The theme is too dated.
I dunno about that, Predator was 1987
Lastest couple pins from Stern, BK3 the original was Black Knight in 1980 and we just got the super expensive Elvira3, EATPM was 1989 but the show started in like 81?
JJP just did Willy Wonka that’s 1971, Predator is the youngest licence/theme from 3 of the most recently released pins this year, let’s get this made Stern!
Based on the first 2 films would be amazing. I'll happily take it just based on the first or even just the second but both would be great. I'm in unseen on a Pre, next Robocop also based on 1 and 2 same as above applies. Nuke Multiball needs to happen. Then a proper Alien/Aliens pin all by Stern please. Now that a dreamboat of a 3 pin line up for me
It seems like there aren't a whole lot of pinball licenses left, and some are going around for a second time, so it's probably time for someone to look at Predator.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Haha. That’s commando.
That would be just fine as well, and The Running Man and Total Recall.

Sort of my take on the "dated" theme. Actually quite new compared to a lot of other current releases.
The whole dated theme thing is horseshit, regardless of when it was made The Predator is a classic, its timeless like Jaws or The Godfather at least to me it is. Also we all know whos buying these pins, it isn't college kids and thank sweet innocent baby jesus for that otherwise the themes would suck big time. A Predator pin would do very well. 
W LCD in these new games, imagine hitting some sort of sequence, preparing for a relentless multiball, and he pulls his mask off, revealing that face to do battle!!!
So much good material in that movie...
Quoted from J85M:Terminator pin
I'm a big fan of T2 but a dedicated "The Terminator" pin would be greatness
Quoted from captainadam_21:Only if it contains this
"Stop shaving...you don't have a beard!"
Lololololol. Whoa! That's funny!
"No's" are winning. Am I the only one that really wants a Sci-Fi Horror Pin (yes I grabbed an Alien, but not exactly a pin that can be obtained easily..extremely fortunate there).
I know Kevin poisoned the pool, but the theme itself shouldn't suffer because of it...
(oh well, just sort of gauging interest)......
Quoted from TheLaw:Haha, no.
I heard a pinsider saw him and gave him a dirty look once.
Quoted from MK6PIN:I know Kevin poisoned the pool, but the theme itself shouldn't suffer because of it...
Oh yeah who cares if Kevin tried to make a Predator and failed, that hasn't deterred my interest in the least. Let go Stern, 2020 3 pins Predator, Alien and Robocop and a Kapow Mad Max The Road Warrior. I'll have to eat sand for a couple years but it will be with a big smile on my face. 
With lcd screen, redesign everything and get the license and I’m in. I would love seeing this theme and buy one. Low interest suggests that a boutique, low volume manufacturer is needed.

Yep...I'm saying NEW design based on the movie..ZY on art, Borg on game, Lyman on the code/ video and audio assets properly used/integrated...A man can dream...wait...I need a moment.... 
Quoted from KingBW:My wife and I played one at MGC last year. Must have been a custom pin I guess.[quoted image][quoted image]
Yeah you missed it all here on Pinside......
Quoted from KingBW:My wife and I played one at MGC last year. Must have been a custom pin I guess.[quoted image][quoted image]
No...Not that one...A real machine by a real company...
A Jungle Mow Down Multiball would be amazing. All targets on a frenzy, a stupid amount of balls, the sound of all guns going, almost no point to it just try to hit every single target. It would be so intensely awesome.
Good god why isn’t this a thing already!!!
