[QUOTE="3waycombo, post: 91827, member: 3261"] I would like to suggest that you fine tune the physics of Pinball Arcade to closely resemble the gameplay characteristics of the pinball tables located at PAPA World Headquarters, If there was a standard for how a table should play, this would almost certainly be that standard. These are the machines that the top players in the world do battle to crown a world champion each year. Plus they have gameplay videos for pretty much every game on the pinball.org website. They shoot these videos at a perfect angle to extract all kinds of data about how the ball is moving around the machine. And the person playing is no slap happy amateur. You're basically watching an expert at work, one of whom is Bowen Kerins, a former world champion, pinball ambassador and a really cool guy. What's so important about watching someone like Bowen play is that you will see advanced flipper skills that show what a pinball flipper is capable of. To take it a step further, the ball data could be correlated with the way the player presses the flipper buttons and physically interacts with the machine. I think that incorporating this level of detail in the way the player interacts with the machine and the way machine interacts with the ball is critical in achieving a truly authentic video game experience. All sports video games use motion capture video to recreate the way athletes move. I don't believe pinball is any different. I have no doubt that using motion capture video of a world class pinball player is the best, if not the only way to accurately reproduce the pinball experience on the computer. [/QUOTE]
