Looks like A1U is getting into the Virtual Pinball 3/4 scale machine (Star Wars)

I think it's a sub-par experience because vpinball is already a sub-par pinball experience. We'll have to see what they price it at and how they do with it at that price point. I'm out because I don't want a pinball machine of any kind.

Well the thing about pinball simulators is you've got to remember they are simulators in the way goat simulator is a simulator (ie not one at all).  It's a totally different but equally fun experience.  Some of the re-creations are starting to get close though.  I saw one pimped out vpin cabinet that uses a Kinect to track your eyes and body to change the angle of the table as you move, so it has a perspective shift like it would on a real pin.  Pretty frikkin awesome.

i couldn't imagine even a half decent pinball (even at 3/4 size) costing less than 2000 with all the mechanical shindiggery that needs going on... which is going to price it out of the walmart type purchasers they aim towards. by the time the scrounge it down to sub 600, there'd be nothing left but a couple flippers a half dozen targets and maybe a pop bumper.

if they where smart, they'd consider a VP table.

I didn't get to see the video before it went private. I spoke mainly of assumptions.

Not sure you actually want to see it or not, but here it is:




I have no interest in this, nor do I have the space. Who knows though - I may get one if I like it.  ;D

Better yet I wish they'd get them in my local Walmart so I can try one.  As for pinball, it's got to be a sub-par experience because it takes some decent horsepower to simulate pinball properly and those SOC's that A1up uses just ain't gonna cut it.

trying it for yourself would be the best.

but people have compared it to the arcade.



for the price, its decent, but if you have an alan-1 yoke, of course, thats the best.
(but overkill)
