Message: <blockquote data-quote="vikingerik" data-source="post: 224491" data-attributes="member: 3745">This has to do with camera tricks.  TPA brings the camera down and in extremely close to the table and flippers, with a very wide-angle field of view.  This produces a high degree of foreshortening between the bottom and top of the playfield and that drastic 3d look.  Measure the ball on your screen - it's more than twice as wide at the flippers as up at the bonus rollovers.  Most viewpoints in TPA are unrealistically low and close compared to standing at a real table, as low as six inches above the flippers, but it works for TPA's purposes to produce that 3d effect on a flat screen.VP puts the camera up where your eye level viewpoint would be on a real table, which is more true to reality but less dynamic on a flat screen.  (Disclaimer, I haven't really played VP, just judging from some screenshots on google.)</blockquote>
