[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 7309, member: 320"] I think what you may be looking for is a day/night option. The way the tables are now they would be closer to how one would look in a dimly lit room. This is especially true on the console versions and I believe that its to give the game a more arcade feel to it. Also, since the artwork is darker it allows the general illumination and flashers to stand out more. On the other hand, if you were playing a table in a brightly lit room, the artwork would stand out much more while subduing the pin lighting. It's a matter of preference but, if you've ever played a real table in the dark, you can see why Farsight has gone for the dimly lit conditions. It just has a more arcade feel to it. There's a video on youtube of a guy playing his Bride of Pinbot in the dark. When he reaches Metamorphosis, wow. Personally, I would rather see the game engine recreate pitch black conditions. Maybe not in this console generation. However, I can see the desire to better view the artwork. But then it may be called The Pinball Museum and not The Pinball Arcade. :) [/QUOTE]
