First thing - MPE 2012 - WOW ! Glad we got there early , by 2:00 it
was packed . Was looking forward to seeing Predator working . Got
there at 10:00 am and it was turned off, then stoped by later and it
was stuck with the ball in the right VUK. Looks like a great project !
Good luck !

Played it some at MPE. IMO, it is looking good

It is an early whitewood but the shots feel good - the dots are
professionally done and the sounds transistion well.

The rules have some unique ideas and I think this game could really
shine in this area. The games runs p-roc and I saw no bogging or a
resets or anything of that nature.

The designers were there and were listening to and noting constructive
feedback.

I really can't recall seeing a game in this early stage of deveolopment
thrown out for play and public comment.

I asked and the game will be coin op ready - aso who knows, we may see
one on location even ;)

There is a whitewood video on pinside that shows some of the
innovative rules and player controlled ideas there puttin into this
project. The thread on pinside has also been open to members
comments, I like others have made plent of suggestions and ones they
like they have personally responded to and said they would implement/
look into the ideas. They genuinely seem to want to make the pin as
amazing to as many players/potential buyers as possible and it's not
only a breath of fresh of air but great to have a company genuinely
care what their buyers want.

We can but hope that more established pinball makers may one day care
as much about there product and brand to offer more insight to there
games development and take constructive feedback prior to building and
polishing the final product. I can't wait for my Predator #5 to
arrive!

By the way . You Predator guy's should have had the artist guy
across from you do some doodling on your playfield when he wasn't
busy . Looked like he did a prety good job on his game Whoa

Yeah, what was that guy's name, again? I hear he's pretty
popular... :-)

Greg did get a chance to play the Predator, along with a few other
notable names that were present at the show, and we heard some very
good responses. Lyman Sheats seemed to truly enjoy the game, as did
Jersey Jack, himself. I don't believe Gary Stern played the machine,
though, which is something a lot of people ask me.

Please make sure the art has a skull pile on it somewhere, all pins must have skulls, flames, lightning, breast IMHO :o)
