    One thing is for sure. They have 3 other pins in development. Two of them are licensed, the third one could be licensed or unlicensed.

    I do not know any of the themes. Blade runner could be cool, but not sure if 2 science fiction themes in a row is a good idea. Although.....Dr. Who..... yes please! Queen would be killer Maybe Spongebob Squarepants, great theme for operators.

    Quoted from Zampinator:

    Predator: Owned by FOX. They just did Alien/Aliens, owned by FOX. They have a working relationship & a comfort level with each other. We know the pinball community would love a Predator pinball. Is it too early after the Skit-B debacle? Maybe. Again, my vision of this title in a Heighway wide body with their technology, it would be sick!

    I believe that I have read somewhere that back in the days Heighway was approached to finish that project. It didn't happen, but I cannot recall the reasons anymore.

    Quoted from schwarz:

    Has Heighway given any hints as to when they'll announce the future titles they have in the works?

    Hopefully when there are ready for shipment

    - Licensed - check
    - British theme - check
    - Great theme for a pin - check
    - Worldwide known theme - check
    - Lot of potential customers - check

    Yes, this could be it

    Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:

    For those pinball enthusiasts that believe I am advertly negative, Alien fanboys, or are not involved or have contacts in the industry, I will provide one simple direct final level of assistance regarding this subject.
    1) The Aliens license remains in final negotiations from Fox Interactive. (From the standpoint of final production, not concept approval or the trademark license). I should have been more clear from than explanation beyond the initial legal agreement.
    2) Heighway underestimated their budget requirements for this title.
    3) Full throttle as a title sold initially mediocreally and has not improved. Being that it is no longer a "hot" title, does not allow this to be a rejuvenating factor for increased company profit.
    4) Market price testing is causing offsets regarding of machine construction regardless of manufacturer wilingess to maintain certain price levels. This is independent of Stern's home model marketing pattern. It is negatively influencing boutique manufacturers to build machines such as materials.
    If you do not understand or believe me, ask Andrew yourself. If he is truthful and wants to talk to you, he will give you honesty.
    Creating a pinball machine is an incredibly complicated and expensive process.
    These are indications of an unhealthy organization, and something I would not invest my money.
    I am not trying to undercut Heighway, but there needs to be incredible sales of Alien. All boutique pinball manufacturers even in the best of times can be tenuous in the fickle home market of today. JJP learned this lesson. Hopefully, others are better prepared.
    I am entitled to present my informed opinion, but this is a forum full of trolls and the reason why most knowledgeable people left.
    Arguments and fights are constant.
    People will always say "prove it" endlessly, regardless what you tell them.
    Mostly out of boredom, I would suppose. I am tired again of trying to explain things to people.
    In this respect many are right, it is always the same thing here.
    I would be extremely careful to speculate on future titles of machines from boutique pinball companies in this period of the market. This is exactly how people lose money. Not everything is a harvest of bounty.
    Learn the lessons of the past regarding the coin operated world. If you want to understand or know more PM.

    Thanks Obi Wan.

    Think we are all adults here, no need to educate people in a prediction thread.
