Future Pinball OMG

[beezaa]

Check out this frontend for HyperPin. Uses a huge HDTV as the actual machine and a smaller lcd for the scores. Looks so real!

to me, it lacks the charm of the real machine, but its pretty cool nonetheless

 

[michael]

yea, video pinball is sort of lame.

 

[moonyham]

yeah it is kinda cool, but real pinball machines will always be awesome just cause you are *actually* smashing around a real ball and... well because real pinball machines are awesome!

 

[michael]

just about nothing is as satisfying as the crack of that solenoid telling you you got a free game.

man do i miss that.

 

[INFaMaS]

That "CRACK" is so damn loud and satisying

 

[fatallyflawed]

The sound on it was pretty damn real.

But yeah still fake and doubt tilting would be as fun and rewarding.

 

[michael]

i'm sure the sound is as real as a sample of the real thing can be...but it just isn't the same...if you get what i mean.

 

[fatallyflawed]

oh I do

 

[L2R]

conquering the machine only works if the machine is real. it aint just about hitting targets but also hitting ramps and things with enough momentum to mean something. dunno how well this would feel.

pretty though.

yeah i've played on that machine. honestly, i didn't see anything special about it. sure it looks cool but real pinball is vastly superior.
