    The only reason I'm hesitant with this one is that I'd read it's all pre-rendered animations - I don't think there will be any way to manipulate the player's viewpoint to support a full table view, or anything like that. Still gorgeous, though limiting. But I could be wrong.

    EDIT: Re-read the Kickstarter page - looks like they pledged support for portrait mode, which would alleviate my main worry...

    Quoted from PinballCharlie:

    I think pre-rendered is the way to go for this. Really, you only look at the table from one viewpoint when playing. This will open up processing resources to focus on frames per second, ball physics, and hopefully will eliminate control lag. These are all problems I see in the Pinball Arcade tables (specifically on IOS).

    Not sure I agree - though I prefer cabinet view, I've also used the front perspective as well. And people prefer different heights/distances.

    I think that the best looking digital pinball is currently Unit3D. Too bad it's based on Future Pinball; the physics are very questionable. But it is GORGEOUS.
