Is Gomez up in the rotation? Will he still be making games in his new VP position? What's the rotating lineup these days, besides Borg, Ritchie and possibly Gomez?

Quoted from txstargazer3:Gomez says he has done his last design and is out of the rotation as VP.
Interesting. Have they named a replacement yet? I would hope Borg and Ritchie have some sort of apprentices. This kinda knowledge needs to be passed on to a new generation.
Next summers' big movies are:
Amazing Spider-Man 2
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Transformers 4
Fast and Furious 7
TMNT
Too early for another Transformers or X-Men. Maybe....Maybe...Spider-Man 2, but I think it's still TOO SOON.
TMNT hasn't been a Pin in over 20 years....
But my guess is Fast and Furious 7. This is a mature franchise that is actually in its peak, not declining. Would bring in the younger crowds, and might be a great showcase for an LCD. I could see this as a late summer or fall release.

Quoted from unigroove:When talking to John Borg during Expo he told me he originally was supposed to have his next game ready in January, but that got switched with John Trudeau (which he was very happy with). So first Trudeau, John Borg's game after that (April).
And Ritchie at the end of 2014 with Fast & Furious A.K.A High Speed III.
Looks like Ritchie confirmed the new system boards for the next game. He was supposed to get them for Star Trek, but they weren't ready.
He also said new displays (LCD??) are coming withing the next couple of games.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:So lets say F&F is a lock for April and Superman for October next year. Whats Mr Trudeau releasing in JAN?
It's less than 2 months away and we have no info. Inquiring minds want to know
There will be three next year, like 2012. Early, Summer, Late. Trudeau is up next, Borg does summer release, and Ritchie does end of year.
That's the best summary I can put together based on various threads.
Take that for what you will, but it looks like Borg is doing F&F.
Ritchie said in at the recent Texas Expo that the new boards and screens would be on the next game or the one after it. Guess we'll find out which one's first next year. He also said Star Trek was originally supposed to have the new system, but wasn't ready in time.

Quoted from pinball_101:I would like to hear about the process Stern Uses to decide which pin is next. I'm in 40s and would like to see more family titles. WOZ was great idea for pin. Hobbit great idea. FF, superman, acdc, Metallica, transformers- not so much. Although some of these might be great pins, I wouldnt want to play them with my kids. I think jjp and stern are after two different markets stern courting younger crowd and jjp 40 and over.
I would pay for a submarine "hunt for red October" type pin. I think jjp could do a lot with that.
How is Superman not family friendly?
Quoted from Joe_Blasi:Was this a late change?? after the new FF movie got pulled?
I doubt it, since F&F was rumored for a summer release witrh the movie. This one (Mustang) would have been in the works for many months.
Quoted from Joe_Blasi:well movie time lines can move with other tie in's working off of the first time line.
also an Mustang and FF game seem to much of the same.
Mustang was leaked 8 months ago.
