Quoted from RobKnapp:

I may put a deposit down if I still can on Houdini. I watched a few Youtube video's. The music that I heard was not very pleasing to my ear. And the LCD animations were very basic . TOM though a DMD from 1995 has much better animation for the modes than what I have seen from limited Houdini video. I understand why many people are against John Popadiuk Jr. I get it. I was told Popadiuk did the original proto type of the Houdini pinball. It is a visual master piece . » YouTube video

Let's assume you didn't realise that the video you posted isn't the Houdini game. This video is from a box of lights which has art not done by John Popadiuk, he only came up with the concept and somehow got the thing to light up.

This is a video that actually shows the production game. Drastically different:

I think it's important to point out that American pinball is taking NO preorder dollars. Distributors are, to "hold your spot" in line, but I think this speaks volumes as far as company financial credibility, and suitably addresses what Frax pointed out as legitimate concerns (that is, you can get a refund until you can't).

AP is just making the machines, you pay in full when you want one. End of transaction.

Having Rosh on the team is really their secret weapon - he is SO thorough as far as research and testing, and he is incredibly respectful of pinball history "is this good for pinball?" Is a question I imagine he asks when working on each aspect of the game. Joe Balcer also brings with him some incredible experience, a great set of games in his portfolio, and in pushing the bar in a LOT of ways. I hope AP is able to become the disruptive, innovative force in the industry that their game design seems to imply. Time will tell, right?
