Notable quotes

“How can you not make Predator? It was a real no-brainer to do it. Since we have done Alien before, and this was the sort of natural game for us to make.”
Daniel (Pinball Brothers)
“We are restricted to some degree when it comes to Arnold. And that actually fits the narrative that you are playing him. So to me personally, and to us, it doesn't make the game bad in a way.”
Daniel
“Moving to sort of a standard platform that is used for many other pinball machines is a really good way to make life easier for customers also to find spare parts for a long time. So I think it's a win-win situation, really.”
Daniel
“I think over the years, we have been trying to innovate. Everybody wants to innovate and make new things. But really, when it comes to standard parts like flippers, slingshots, bumpers, and so on, there's no real point trying to innovate, to be honest.”
Daniel
“There are no plans on having another edition of the game as of now. So what I refer to is mainly to keep improving the content in the game edition that we are launching now.”
Daniel
“We have covered quite a lot... you really want people to feel that they are stepping into the movie when they hit the start button and play this game.”
Daniel
“We have the original score from Alan Silvestri, the really iconic main theme... Olof Gustafsson has been elaborating, using that main theme and made a lot of other music that really blends into that. It feels like that music was part of the movie.”
Daniel
