The Best 4k Virtual Pinball Machine Available - Is It Worth It?

[@rnettles6241]

I bought a new one from Rec Room World 8 months ago for $10k total. No regrets. Your review is perfect.

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

As a pinball fan myself I’m glad to see you do videos like this

[@branditodd3367]

This just brought back sooo many memories of when i was a kid and would play pinball at a friends house and listen to his jukebox. They have certainly come a long way while kinda keeping the retro aspect into play. You have to appreciate that. Love this machine and everything about it and love how it can play music videos on the backboard. Keep up the hard work matt!

[@arcade_matt]

glad you enjoyed! It's truly like an entertainment center!

[@chadelia7447]

This is a quality build! Everything was carefully and appropriately placed. It's electronic artwork in action! I'm also a pinball junkie and love the old school builds vs the newer 4k electronic setups, but now I'm reconsidering the advantages of going to a digital 4k customizable pinball machine! So much more content with such a wow factor in the colors!

[@arcade_matt]

yea it's incredible. the table designs are getting better and better too - great way to learn games!

[@mockingbirdklm]

Such a well-put-together video of the workings of the machine and actual game play. This is a truly unique item and I'm glad you were able to get it!

[@davefromflorida]

Yeah he uses the exact same talking points as the maker of. the machines uses in their own promotional video. Paid corporate shill, if just to get a machine at a discount.. 😉

[@NickolasStengert]

This arcade machine you showed us was the best thing ever! Pinball is an excellent arcade game to play at the arcade! Great Job showing us the pinball machine, Matt. I really appreciate it! You’re my biggest fan ever because I love and like watching your videos on KZbin, your videos rock! And I enjoyed watching them on KZbin a lot! Keep up the great work Matt, and you’re a star!

[@arcade_matt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Arcade-Steam-FPGA]

@@arcade_mattdoes any of the games that have movie themes actually play movie footage? Some machines that have guns and roses table actually play real video of them signing on the upper 32” screen while your playing on the huge pinball table. Same for Star Wars tables play movie footage at top 32” screen Same for guardians plays video from actual movie. Etc….. All the ones you show is a plain image. That is boring in comparison. Same with jukebox. When playing jukebox the 32” screen plays real music videos of the song chosen Does yours have that feature at all and if not are those features something you can go out and download to your machine?

[@chadmiller5149]

Awesome video! Crazy how a company can make a computer pinball machine with a ton of different games & different themes of pinball!

[@ChupoCro]

Visual Pinball is an open source project made by thousands of people around the world. I've been using it for more than 20 years and you can install it too. The company just made a physical table.

[@paulyd2406]

Very Nice Work On This Mr. Matt!! LOL at the kitties watching from above such an adorable kitty :)

[@SauditechyonYoutube]

Matt's knowledge about this virtual 4k pinball machine is really impressive 🤩👍🏻 Keep up the good work dude ! Really appreciate all the effort you put it all your videos. You are a LEGEND to all ! 🔥🙌🏻

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

Harlem Globetrotters On Tour is my favorite pinball machine all time. I'm doing a Harlem Globetrotters cabinet with over 1500 + tables. Awesome table you have.

[@brandonyork7408]

Cool ++++ Video !! Very very well done!! Both you and the camera guy!! Thanks for posting!

[@mikecarroll3058]

Super video Matt. I have been looking for a virtual machine, great review

[@Crackedfigures]

This intro was so frantic and I LOVE it. Also I didn’t even know there was digital pinball

[@arcade_matt]

haha - had to make it all intense :D

[@Crackedfigures]

@@arcade_matt 🤩🥹 you noticed me

[@aaronh678]

Awesome video. Wasn't expecting anything like this but greatly appreciate the hard work with showing us everything inside.

[@TheArcadeAthlete]

This machine looks pretty awesome! Thanks for the super detailed review. I am really surprised how sensitive it is and how good the screen looks.

[@indigo9434]

Love to see more pinball content! Remember watching you play bad cats back at replayfx with the PAPA gang.

[@kahopukehau]

Insane how realistic the different tables look

[@arcade_matt]

Yea some are def better than others but they are always getting updated which is cool

[@SirenBandUS]

I've had my Ultra VP 6 for over a year and it is absolutely phenomenal. Total quality from top to bottom. It's a great addition to my real pins because I can play virtually any machine whenever I want.

[@kirstentimmerding9749]

Awesome pinball machine! I'm loving how everything is labeled.

[@ArcadeK1NG]

You inspired me to start my own arcade channel, Matt! Pinball machine is SO Cool! Amazing vid!

[@FlattStanley]

Genuinely had no idea this sort of thing existed but amazing video Matt! Certainly made me want one (if I ever come into the money ha), would love more videos on this machine in the future!

[@MFHOOD56]

Wow, this looks like an incredible digital pinball table! I've actually been getting a lot more into pinball myself recently. Super fun, and I'm definitely looking to own a table or two in the future and look into some leagues/tournaments!

[@arcade_matt]

Trust me, virtual pinball is a great way to get into real pinball. You can play tables over and over and learn what gives big points, which makes playing the real games much more enjoyable once you know what to do.

[@MFHOOD56]

@@arcade_matt Absolutely! I've been playing Pinball FX 3 for a few years although those physics aren't the most accurate. Recently downloaded Visual Pinball and it's awesome being able to play so many real machines on my PC!

[@andregertsch8111]

Always a great day when Matt uploads arcade videos

[@loganpace1309]

I have that pinball machine its a really coo.lm glad you reviewed it. Great video matt keep up the amazing content.

[@ryandrinkwater2622]

Keep up the reviews, the next step to the channel.. work with vendors $$ but keep the OG arcade Matt!! Keep up the good work..

[@Kumodot]

Yesterday i installed one of those Virtual Pinballs (Visual Pinball X) and i am SO impressed with the quality of sound, light simulation/emulation and tables, even running on my PC i FEEL it like the real thing. I can imagine how fun it would be to have it in that form factor with all those features. Hope i can afford (or build) one someday ! This thing seems to worth every penny !

[@Nightenstaff]

Very impressive bit of kit and you explained it quite well. Thanks -- might just need to take a deeper look into this.

[@Kate_Fyria]

Oh man, showing off the topper while it was on guns and roses brought back! My best friend growing up, her dad had that pinball machine in their living room. We'd play all the time! It was a fun game!

[@Hueborn]

Fantastic product. Excellently reviewed.

[@AVillaBeats]

Rec Room World offers the best virtual pinball machines in the United States, but I wish they would upgrade their monitors to a 4K gaming monitor to improve the contrast and get rid of the cloudy gray image on the playfield from a side/angle view. The monitor size is great, but the contrast is not that good. There are some customers of theirs that have switched out the monitor for this reason. Hopefully the monitor is upgraded for the 8.0 machine. Otherwise, great machine, great customer community, and great customer service. I demoed their 5.0 machine before and I plan on getting a machine from them on the next upgrade.

[@davefromflorida]

Best to wait until late 2024 to mod 2025 when the new Micro-LED monitors take over the market, as many models have black levels that rival those of OLED monitors.

[@davefromflorida]

Best to wait until the new Micro-LED monitors drift down to the commercial monitor markets, as they have black levels that rival those of OLED monitors.

[@jayanandafoose9543]

Hey Matt I love your videos and seeing you at cedar point you are a great person and you make me happy whenever I watch your videos hope to see you soon

[@EdsterIII]

Now THIS was just my style of games. I have loved Pinball since I was a little kid. I even got all of the Williams and Stern Games for the PS3, PS4, etc. I considered back in the day buying an actual Pinball Machine, but thankfully I didn't, as things went south for my health. I'm happy with my Playstation versions. This however, could be the one!

[@DOC_951]

I see a lot of amazing potential in virtual pinball machines… changing the display or graphics to the next hot media property or video game property every few months

[@tylercoon3833]

Looks awesome! I do have two actual solid state pinball machines in my basement and I’m sure it would look good with them

[@Lego9215]

My dad bought one and surprised the family we absolutely love it❤ the lights sound and the fans it’s truly amazing

[@arcade_matt]

oh awesome!

[@jasonemmettmyers]

Cool dad!

[@SinisterSpatula]

some day I will own a VP pin cab. but I went with the atgames 4k pinball instead which was much more affordable. With the ssf feedback upgrade it feels plenty realistic to me. The two aren't in the same league but the atgames is nice enough for right now. :) Awesome job showing off how great this hobby can be. Thanks to the countless hours the vpin table makers have poured into recreating our favorite tables!!! They are gods among men.

[@clayhutcheson439]

The table is pretty awesome!

[@SamStar100]

You know its gonna be a good day when Arcade matt posts.

[@Scantron5k]

I have reviewed 3 different versions of this machine on my channel if anyone wants to see more. Great review for a great company. I'm only about 1.8MIL subs away from ya, but hey... I try.

[@Dan-ck4bg]

You did a nice job covering this machine, as well. I still need to look at the other virtual pin videos you posted. Subbed.

[@Scantron5k]

@@Dan-ck4bg thanks for the comment and the sub, bro 👊

[@satoshinakamoto6647]

Try harder 😂

[@juliamascardo638]

We got the Skillshot FX (made by the Skeeball company) a couple years back and I absolutely adore it, and then we got a "lesser" 2 in 1 unit because it had some games we really wanted that weren't availalbe with the Skillshot. There's a couple neat features on that one that the Skillshot doesn't have (I do miss having a plunger, although the launch ball button will work for getting skill shots, and the nudge isn't a physical nudge -- it's button controlled nudging), but I still have to give the nod to the Skillshot as my favorite unit. The cabinet for it is a work of art, and it looks like the playfield is bigger than that unit. Still.... it would be a tough choice between the two if I was shopping today. Cool review!

[@ravensmadhouse75]

Good video as always Matt. Sounds like I'll be investing in this. SHABANG!

[@morganhull-xs7sx]

Great video arcade matt

[@DougFM]

This is very cool. I put a whole lot of quarters into the original Eight Ball machine when I was a teenager.

[@stacylynn95]

What’s up Matt? Awesome pinball machine!!

[@sara31773]

Have you ever done a house tour? Would be cool to see your collection.

[@AttractionSpot]

This is a beautiful machine! What are the retail of these? Also I kind of noticed when you were showing the speaker underneath it was dented but it could have just been the lighting. Was that something that happened during shipping? If you have something where you purchase one of these machines and that happens do they send you a replacement parts due to shipping damage?

[@alkohallick2901]

Would it be a lot of trouble to do a video of Cyclone running on this table? Thanks!!!

[@danielleventura6463]

Really impressed with this!

[@1039749]

Love when the cats are in the content!

[@Dan-ck4bg]

The cats are fully compensated for their cameo appearances with salmon and albacore tuna. 😺🐟

[@JeepinBoon]

As a slot, arcade, and pinball repair guy, all I see is quality (except for windoze). I'd prefer to see a linux distro. Everything is serviceable. Mostly off the shelf parts. Great wood. AWESOME virtual pinball machine!

[@davefromflorida]

Problem is, who knows Linux except tech geeks ? 😀 That’s why Windows is the KING OS in the consumer world..

[@dsbanimals4010]

Love the fan art on the walls

[@bungalowfeuhler1541]

FINALLY! Someone agrees with me! I desperately want to have to pump quarters in if I wanna play. I feel like it’ll limit how much I play and keep me from getting bored.

[@SauditechyonYoutube]

Matt's channel is the BEST ARCADE CHANNEL on KZbin with quality videos and great tips that one can easily learn. He deserves more than 1.79M subscribers ! He is so underrated. Who else agrees? 👇🏻

[@jryangutierrez]

I always wondered why matts channel isnt marked as children's content. but just yesterday (i think It was yesterday) i learmed that childrens content doesnt make as much

[@drsssssssss]

Excellent review.

[@fredkelly6953]

After a shaky start in the virtual world pinball has become pretty realistic on the pc. I've played tables that actually had one flipper softer than the other which happens although it's because one flipper isn't 100% but that they would include that virtually is a good eye for detail. I've always meant to get a machine but really I'd want 4 because one is not enough. That's what sets this one above the mechanical in that you've got a whole stable of games to choose from in an actual machine. This machine is impressive, it does however also have an impressive price tag (which I don't think you mentioned) of around $10k which would put it out of the range of most gamers. Having said that I think a true wizards would definitely have it on the Christmas list.

[@adamhickey396]

This pinball machine is awesome and I am absolutely in love with the Jaws version!!! I'd buy it just for that alone!

[@reds0l0cup50]

I'm not much of a pinballer but man, what an entertaining video.

[@Kennebec27]

nice video, I personally built my own virtual pinball, almost exactly like yours, using a real pinball cabinet, and save a ton of money. But if you aren't willing or aren't able, going pre-built is the way to go.

haha - I realize the work that goes into building these plus since I don't usually do pinball videos I didn't mind the deal we worked out.

[@CharlieEdward25]

I would like to know how he is able to sell pin preloaded with vpx tables not to be sold

[@dlv0187]

I bought one of these last November and I really love it. My cat will be sleeping and before I know it he is up and watching my play. I just need to learn how to update/load new tables from the internet. Great video!

[@xxKoldshadoWxx]

I’d buy one just for medieval madness. I love that table.

[@rnettles6241]

There are 2 versions of MM on this machine. One uses computer animation for the dragon and castle blowups. You'd love it.

[@matt123411]

Do they categorize machines by manufacture? I love Gottlieb tables the most because of their unique designs. Pinball Pool, Pro Pool, Big Indian, Genie, Central Park, Pro Football, El Dorado, Black Hole, Haunted House, Krull, Q*bert's Quest, and Goin' Nuts are my favorite tables.

[@BlindBuyJefferson]

Yes, there is a 'Manufacturer" sub-menu where you can pick Gottlieb, Bally, etc.

[@Twinsen764]

What was the final price?

[@rickpontificates3406]

Wow, I just own a WMS Funhouse pinball. Sure, it's fun to play, but I'd love to have other games too, like Adams Family and Pin*Bot. That would be a nice V-Pin to have

[@rtbrain]

Matt, really excellent review. Can you give a general rough ballpark on total cost the machine you reviewed runs?

[@clumaster]

nice review but it would have been better if it was started at the unboxing stage. it would be benificial to see how it is shipped and how well all the internals were protected during shipping.

[@ericmarlow381]

Mr. 3756, keep doing what you're doing. Your channel is so fun.

[@djsilokamranyounai689]

Great video! My only question is compared to a real pinball machine how much less maintenance does it have and how long to the motors inside last before you need to change it? If it's in a commercial arcade what's the cost difference compared to a regular pinball machine?

[@David-Air-Force-Vet]

Hey Matt. I was wondering if this game had firepower and High Speed on it. Those are my 2 favorite pinball games of all time

[@justimagine2403]

Is it an OLED? The contrast - blacks looked a little gray. I super like the fan. It gives it something different. Wonder if I could get the flashers on the side or up top. I don't like the glare of them on the screen. I would love to have one all packaged up. Mine is a Franken machine with wires and keyboards and speakers and screens and stickers. Ah.

[@jtlindley88]

The pinball from zen studios are amazing. They became my favorite when I played them on my ps vita years ago

[@frickezthias8638]

Arcade Matt you should design your own arcade game! Maybe branded with other youtubers too?

[@eternylbliss2151]

I have been talking about getting one of these forever now. Only things I would want changed... would like the playfield the be more standard width so it looks more like a real machine. Possible it wouldn't matter if I had a change to play one to test it out. The backglass screen needs to be bigger so the artwork is full screen. I also prefer the playfield not to include the lights at the top so its slanted underneath them. I heard they glare against the playfield also. Sure it doesn't replace the real deal but to be able to play all the vintage classics it would be worth owning one of these.

[@RecRoomWorld]

The width of the ULTRA VP is equivalent to the width of my Star trek Next Generation mechanical pinball machine, which they consider Widebody SuperPin. The depth of the 49" monitor is exactly 42 inches which is the exact same size as the majority of mechanical pinball machines. You do not want a 43" monitor, it is not deep enough.

[@thejester4708]

That thing is awesome 👍

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

6:50 what a coincidence I also have that Logitech keyboard!

[@Attrition1976]

The couple of VP’s I’ve played, my biggest complaint was the flippers. There was always a slight delay between pushing the button to the flipper firing. It’s micro seconds but still noticeable compared to real machines. Granted these weren’t super high end like this appears to be. So how was the flipper lag if any??

[@vashoncannady3623]

This 4K virtual pinball machine is totally cool so it's better than the original classic one is a throwback.

[@HatsuneMikuwuA]

Is there flipper buzzing? And do the buttons vibrate like the flipper silonoid is held on if you hold the button down? On old tables.

[@FusionDeveloper]

My first thought was "what is the point", then I realized you can customize it to tons of potential games.

[@Comrade2k7]

Would be a dream to own one of these

[@ryan61384]

Does this pinball machine have tables like Popeye? I ask cause that game has two levels on the table like a lower and an upper play field. So I am not sure if that would even work on a monitor.

[@XJIcequeen]

I remember playing Twilight Zone Virtual pinball. You should play that

[@tsivard1]

Is the Goober on-off switch available separately?

[@BrianSmith-usmc]

I’d like to see a comparison of this one and the one from extreme gaming cabinets.

[@ocramocram1]

Does this table come with games? I thought their website says you have to add your own games to it. Thank you!

[@hand4letters851]

Do you know if you can add pinball games to the model or its just whats included with the machine?

[@ramsayzaki]

Where/How does one get the games to upload onto this machine?

[@nickjenkins6292]

It does look really cool on the surface but what kills it for me is the ball. The playfield is great but the ball seems to be heavy. Like a real pinball flies much faster than this. Is there a way to speed it up?

[@ArcadeChristian]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[@itisallgood3951]

Does it have FunHouse in the pinball game

[@McGruph]

This is a great video! I have one of these, and I learned a few things here, Thank you‼️Is there a way to play 2 players on Fx3 games? 🙏
