I am a fan of Visual Pinball and always have been , but mainly as an auditioning tool.
My thoughts are - I find that the newer tables play fairly ‘averagely’ in most cases while the newer VP versions of a LOT of the older SS tables these days play OUTSTANDINGLY ( go play the last VP version ) Mata Hari for example – VERY VERY good. So if I am in the mood for a game on Flash or MH or Genie, Playboy etc then I am happy to play them on VP as I don’t own the games and couldn’t fit them in of I wanted to, but I really struggle to enjoy the later games as the shots don’t seem to come off the flippers nicely.
As far as the clips go in your post – they are visually excellent and Vp has come a LOOOOOOONG way, although the clips you show are of the Future Pinball platform that I personally find unbelievably difficult to watch as the ‘camera’ follows the ball,although FP is THE BEST platform out there for pinball emulation its like being on a rollercoaster.
Having said all of that I would still be VERY curious to see it set up and running properly in a pinball style cabinet with a 42 inch screen.
