Great if it's integrated to help with levelling, but not a fan for gameplay. The tilt bob is an integral part of the physicality of pinball.
Replacing the knocker sucks, but it doesn't affect gameplay. The tilt bob does.
Same could be said for eliminating drop targets and spinners - there's a way to simulate what they do, but in doing so you change the experience completely by doing so.
I actually think instead of eliminating the tilt bob, it should be visible.
Quoted from gstellenberg:On the P3, when combined with the dynamic playfield graphics, we can do so much more with nudge detection.
Sure, this is a different thing - would be great to see what you guys can do with another input device. But on a stock standard Stern pinball machine, I think replacing the Tilt-bob is just detracts from the player experience.
Having said that, on a for an operator on a commercial location with lots of casual players who dont really care about nudging etc, a virtual tilt-bob would be a great benefit.
