I played a few Virtual cabinets at TPF - they were interesting, but I didn't catch the refresh rate or resolution of the display - I had a really hard time tracking the ball; Is it safe to assume that the 120Hz refresh rates helps to deal with this? I thought the force feedback and other features were really solid
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Yes, more fluid motion with 120hz versus 60hz. 60hz seems fine but with how fast a digital pinball is moving on screen there appears to be a bit of a tearing / blurring affect on the ball while in motion, a 120hz display helps significantly reduce that affect.
What did you think of the gameplay of the virtual pins you played at TPF? I know Rec Room World was there but not sure who else. Personally I'm buying an Ultra VP as a way to play pins from the pre LCD era as I'll never have the space, or funds, to get 50+ games from that time period.
I thought they were “ok” - I played TAF (both the commercial cab and the Homebrew virtual. The Homebrew one was better, but I still struggled to time my shots even to do basic stuff. It might just be an adjustment like when switching from a Stern to a Bally game, but I couldnt quite get it down.
The commercial version (the older one i guess) felt unplayable to me - to be fair, I didn’t spend too much time on it, and I don’t know which model I played - but everything felt sluggish and laggy to me.
I do quite like the idea of getting one to play older games I would never have the chance to - especially 80s SS games I am finding it super hard to find. I think I’d max out at $4k for these though - or DIY it. The video cards are crazy expensive though
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I'm not sure if that was the Ultra VP that was played, have never heard of lag and or unplayable gameplay before from owner feedback I've read. Maybe it was a different virtual cabinet.
Absolutely - I’m really not sure who the vendor was. I don’t want to imply that the games are trash or anything, but it was really hard going from a real game to the same game on the virtual. I had a real hard time tracking the ball on the playfield, and you know, maybe it just wasn’t for me. The presentation was cool though- the extra backbox monitors add a lot of pop and interest.
