Update on Full Throttle just posted. Looking pretty cool:
That's uk for ya
I may get full throttle and then I can get many other games from using the same cabinet
The theme doesn't work for me, but I'm hoping they have big success. I like what they're doing and hoping the next effort has a theme I like.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the theme, but I really hope they're successful. I pray we'll see Circe's Animal House someday.
SpiffyRob,I could agree with you more. Circe's Animal House had endless possibilities. Maybe one day and as a whole pin not just a drop in playfield.

Pigs drinking beer One theme we've all been wanting
I was SO excited about that pin. It just seemed like such an inspired theme! I was totally having visions of it fitting in nicely with some of the other unlicensed classics of yore.
I'm sure Full Throttle is an easier sell because it is less of a thinker, theme-wise, but man, still keeping my fingers crossed that Circe will make me squeal down the road.

Circe's Animal House? No thank you.
National Lampoon's Animal House? Yes please!
I do like the way Full Throttle is coming together. Best of luck to these guys.
The music sounds pretty cool as well.

This pin is a cross between HS2 and ACDC! Which is no bad thing.
Looks fun! Didn't know Greg Freres was doing the art, but that sure looks like the Whoa Nellie chick on there.
I love Sportbikes and currently ride, so this looks better to me than a movie I'll never watch, The Hobbit, which I have pre-ordered. Hmmmm!

I thought it was John Trudeau
thank you. Modelled in solid works and rendered using photo view 360.
Quoted from ChadNC:I like the full playfield rendering. That chain excel-orator looks like a blast
I wish everybody well on this project but aren't those pop bumpers blocking a bunch of shots to the ramps and lanes?
I must be viewing those photos incorrectly as I can't believe that to be an intentional design. Could someone please correct me or help me understand.

Looks like they retract, flush w/ the playfield. Think of the Boom pop bumper in CV.

Very cool. Thanks for the the explanation.
Seems I may need to transfer some funds from my savings account.

Forgot, Dennis Nordman is doing Predator and John Trudeau on this one. Is John Trudeau doing art as well?
Anyone know what they are going to ask for this pin?
Is it expensive to have them shipped to the US?
Quoted from mrofnoc:Forgot, Dennis Nordman is doing Predator
I thought he was doing P3??
You are mistaken about Nordman. He is not on Predator.
The artist is Ian Richardson and he's done some amazing work.

Most probably £3500 and I could go drive to collect
For USA $5530 no shipping
Pins in the uk are expensive
Everything in the UK is expensive, which has a knock on effect that just piles up on everything we buy.
I was disappointed to hear of the theme change initially, but it looks like they might pull it off. Interesting!
Post edited by txstargazer3 : left a word out!
Yes, Nordman on P3, thanks.
As long as shipping isn't crazy expensive, $5530 seems doable.
I really like what I'm seeing.
Yep, Woz is costing me around $11000 as opposed to the early buyers in the states who are paying $6500

Nice collection I've always wanted a cv the only way I can play it is on pinball arcade also it's the only way to play games which I would like to own someday
Quoted from jpop:...I thought those were 4 spinning bumpers like Sterns' Orbitor 1? Jpop
Ya, spinning wheels on a Sportbike. Looking forward to seeing more of this and finding out what she's going to cost exactly.
Any news on this? I think is very cool, like what Andrew has planned for his games and want to see one in person.
Andrew will be the "guest star" at a French Pin festival this week end (Saturday I guess)
Flip-Expo 2013
http://www.silverball.fr/spip.php?article143
More information next week then...
Quoted from txstargazer3:I was disappointed to hear of the theme change initially, but it looks like they might pull it off. Interesting!
I still am, I liked the first one better. I am not a fan of the artwork on the cab and translite, and the PF is meh. I like the design of the PF though.
Andrew made the show but the game didn't, he's almost ready to show a completed game though. I have seen the game in person but a few weeks ago and it does look good, what I haven't seen is the game fully assembled in the cabinet.
I'm sure Andrew will be on to tell us of progress (he's travelling back from France at the moment more than likely)
Any news on this game? Will there be full motion video in the playfield screen? Is this a new boardset or will they be using a P-ROC? It looks very cool so far...
I believe they are en route to a Trade Show in Europe at the moment, guess more news will come from that.
A picture of the game in Germany (not a very good picture, but still):

LCD in the playfield makes it look quite odd.
Looking forward to seeing this in action, sounds, animation etc.
Looks like they just have text scoring in the lcd window, but imagine what they could put in it and it will be viewable at all times during gameplay without tilting your head to look up at the backbox. Very cool
Quoted from chocky909:LCD in the playfield makes it look quite odd.
.
I have a Night Moves cocktail table. Go look at that if you haven't seen one. One of the greatest things in pinball innovation was in this machine in my opinion, and that is the display front and center in the PF. On this machine, it is important to watch for the bonus shot, which could be many things, and depending on the score and other things, may not be worth cashing out rather than allowing it to trickle down to just a point amount.
I wish machines would incorporate a small display in the PF over anything in the BB.
The color changing LEDs in AC/DC for me are a game changer. So much information is given to the player this way. An in-playfield lcd would offer some of the same benefits. No one can look up much at the back box.
Totally agree but it just looks odd when it's not colourful like on that photo. Makes it look like you're playing a whitewood or the pf is being worked on.
