[QUOTE="pinballmonster, post: 296989, member: 8047"] The problem with pre-FX is that game physics is either too fast or too slow. With zen physics, game play is slow, predictable and often and sleep inducing, quite frankly, until you get to multi ball. With arcade/williams physics, game play is unrealistically fast and far more difficult than actual pinball. I get bored with the former and frustrated with the latter. In desktop, I used to play exclusively in arcade mode, but now playing the majority of the time with zen physics (which isn't very often), due to said frustration factor, but it's too easy by comparison. I can see why players have such a strong preference for zen physics, but I'm assuming most are seasoned players--can't they see right away how unrealistically easy it is? I hope FX can introduce a more realistic physics model. It is admittedly really, really difficult. Even photo realistic CGI in films hasn't been achieved more than 3 decades after the release of the groundbreaking T2. Also, I've been checking for vids on FX game play. On YT, view counts are extremely low for all such vids. Interest level in FX on EGS is very, very low. [/QUOTE]
