#Pro pinball vs visual pinball physics tv#

New tables that are coming out are absolutely gorgeous and as someone mentioned early, it really helps scratch the itch It's incredibly smooth (like pinball arcade 60fps) yet plays like/not exact but very close to a real machine as the physics engine is really good. No real flipper lag that I can detect (monitor/tv is very important so find the one with the lowest input lag). The absolute raw power of this computer (GPU really matters), visual pinball has never looked or played this well.

#Pro pinball vs visual pinball physics tv#

I rebuilt the computer inside and replaced the tv with a 4k. Surprisingly not bad all things considered. A couple weeks ago I found High Speed and Pinbot for NES. Try playing Elvira and the Party Monsters on an Atari Lynx if you want to see 'sucks'! I recently ran across my old Lynx and fired that game up, vaguely remembering having enjoyed it, only to be astounded how bad it was! (A scrolling window following the ball around viewed from straight above!) Compared to that, playing it on my tablet is 98% of the way to the real thing! * Practicing on a small screen actually trains your brain to react quicker, making real games seem slower and easier * Online competition can involve identical machines, with no unavoidable mechanical variations * Try playing a real pin while sitting on the can! * Original virtual tables can do physically impossible tricks * Virtual tech steadily improves - someday will be indistinguishable from real * Most obviously, the cost vs tens or hundreds of real pins * As quiet as you might require (even turned down, real pins make a racket)

* Never needs cleaning (not like real pins - sure, the screen needs an occasional wiping) * One machine takes up so much less space than 10, or 30, or any number up to the hundreds possible

The ways it 'sucks' are more than offset by the ways it doesn't:
