I sincerely wish the guys the best of success on this game, but the artwork would have been a deal breaker for me. I was already worried about the lack of shots on the game (and that's what kept me from preordering), but like RAI said above, I would've expected the artwork to be darker and less like a Data East style. The technology was cool when the game was being announced, but the big manufacturers have stepped things up in the last year. The things they are doing now and are rumored to be doing have already surpassed the coolness factor of Predator. I have hopes for SkitB and all of the other boutique guys, but I fear they will all have a hard time innovating beyond the big companies. They are in competition and each has made great hires in recent months. Like a lot of Kickstarters are finding, it's hard to get things manufactured in smaller quantities with good enough quality in a timely fashion. I want them all to succeed; they are all working very hard. However, I'm glad I didn't bite on the announcements of any of the boutiques. I just had a feeling that we were on the verge of some major pinball innovation at the big manufacturers. That's coming. With the hire of guys like John Trudeau, it may be coming even sooner than I thought. I'm holding out for a few more designs to come onto the scene. Now if only Stern will give them as much freedom as they need to make something special. I think they will.
