I still think of Microsoft Pinball Arcade as the gold standard when it comes to recreating real pinball machines. This is coming pretty close! I agree with others, there's still something with the physics that isn't quite right.

The Black Hole video stands out. In both the PS2 and PS3 of Williams (I can't stand Gottlieb) you can tell that the ball physics are based on... something. This makes it very easy to repeat things on the tables, such as certain shots. While it does look real, it does have its own bugs, and the ball action isn't quite right.

the ball looks perfect when you lok the video in 720p
look like a real ball, perfect reflection, sharp and little bit dirty
but i don't like the playfield in the start 0:03 look like low quality texture
the vectors or not in HQ for now....peace

the physics still look like ass. great visuals tho. this is the main prob with video pinball. the ball, it never 'feels' right in its behaviour.

Very round edges on the flipper bats and rubbers. And maybe the red rubbers need some more bounce? Really looking forward to this
