Sorry, but you obviously haven't played much real pinball. Comparing digital pinball to real pinball is like comparing Gran Turismo to real racing

It is a sad day now that they have taken the heart away from the pinball machine.

I think this might not have been so bad if the tables inside of it were the tables made by ZEN. You know Pinball FX/Zen. Those tables are designed to be digital. The tables on here are recreations. I purchased all those Pinball Hall of Fame games on PS2, XBOx back in the day. Not bad. Not the same. I am more happy with PInball FX 2. They really got creative with those tables.

@RetroChump agreed. Rethinking the playfield with something digital yet still retaining the original ball in play. Probolem is..how do you add Kick-out holes (you don't)? I would imagine designing it with more ramps would be a better option. Imagine this. What if they made Tron pinball (1982). And when the ball rolls around the play field it tracks and creates a light cycle wall? It also makes it possible to recreate real versions of Zen Pinball Tables.

70 years of technological advancement, and the pinball machine has finally become... rubbish.

This game doesn't have real ball physics in it? Looks like the ball movement is not realistic at all! I started playing Pinball FX 2 on XBOX 360. It has pretty good ball physics, but still not like playing a real physical pinball machine!

IIf I want to play video pinball there are plenty of options at home (include faithfull recreations for free - Visual Pinball/pinMAME). However, there is NO SUBSTITUTE for REAL PINBALL! Go to the arcade or bowling alley or whereever you can find one and play. Keep pinball from dying!

Also I dont ever see pinball going fully digital.

There will always be people into collecting them and enough people maintaining and reproducing parts. I maintain all the electronics on all 5 of my machines. I've dealt with some pretty serious problems. Sure some of the older and unpopular tables will be harder to get original parts for but any top 100 machine will likely stick around.

Oh goodness. I played one of these for a while at Disney Quest as they have 2 of them.

One of my best friends owns a real Medieval Madness and a pinbot and a local hotel has an attack from mars. I tried; I really did... but I cannot stand these machines. I wish they would have just made new tables that were designed around them being virtual pinball. Trying to recreate such incredible real machines was a terrible idea.

I know it's my opinion but I'll never go near an Ultra pin ever again.

@dltodd1966 I think that pinball is going to be digital BTW
