Strobe Multiball

Fuseball · Jan 19, 2013

One of my favourite features of AFM and understandably not really simulated on iOS due to hardware limitations.

What are the chances of this getting a more accurate representation on consoles? I know Mike has been on the forum recently contributing to the General Illumination discussion, mentioning possible improvements to the lighting on consoles. I wonder if this is what he had in mind? Not to mention that CV made a pretty good stab at something similar with Neon Multiball.

I can't think of any table better than AFM to showcase dynamic lighting support!

I believe they are looking into it for consoles.

I'm still clinging to the hope that lighting on the iPad can be improved, at least on the latest generation. I have an iPad 3 but will be getting whatever the 5 turns out to be. So far the extra grunt of the iPad 4 hasn't been put to use so there should be plenty of extra power once the 5 comes out.

Wow, that's awesome. I can see now why someone might complain that something was lost in translation.

AFMs shipped with an epilepsy warning because of strobe multiball.

that's first time I've seen it - pretty cool. No way of that happening on mobile platform......... might be a chance of something half decent on consoles though.

end of the day - RT is always going to be better than simulation

Even without epilepsy, it tends to leave you blind for a few seconds after it ends - which is the reason why that post-Strobe ball saver is there, by the way.

to be fair, that video overstates it a LITTLE .. it seems to be taking place in a completely dark room. still, the iPad version is not representative

(by the way, at the National Pinball Museum in Baltimore, their AFM is in it's own little dark room -- now i know why! haha)

Surely I can't be the only one who is kinda glad that's one feature they didn't emulate.....

strobe MB is awesome in a real table.
I have modded my own afm in a way that when strobe MB is running the backbox ligtning also turns of for an even better strobing effect.

Awesome!

While this looks awesome IRL, I can't imagine it looking that good on Pinball Arcade. Would it be one frame of gameplay and then 29 frames pitch black, repeated?
