    This was Fantastic. I had a great time watching this. Go Edward. This video is top notch. I watched the Real Table version awards show all the time and I am glad we have a Virtual one. We can have fun debating the nominee's and the winners but to have a Awards show is fun to watch. Thanks!!!!!

    Thanks so much for making this video! I really enjoyed seeing a round up of the incredible year!
    Just as a slight honest criticism, I personally didn't really like the continuous applause effect. Maybe consider using it more sparingly? I more enjoyed hearing you talk and share about the tables.
    Regardless, thanks so much for all you do for the community! Ultimately, just do what makes you happy!!! 😁 Thanks so much!

    Happy new year! 🎆 And a small thank you for all the monthly videos and for this wrap up. This vid reminded me what a great year 2023 was for virtual pinball! I can agree with everything you said. Well, except Sponge Bob is not mere "children's table"! 😉 Sponge Bob was never that big over here, but that table still it puts a smile on my face when I play it. It's one of those tables that I just can't skip when I'm browsing. And I found that table (plus so many others!) thanks to your monthly vids. So here's to 2024 and the next 12 months of Digital Victory highlights!

    Another great video! Thank you for making these. These always help me flesh out my table collection. I’m really curious about which Atgames machine you play with and your setup. As much as I’d love to build a full-blown VP table, I just don’t think it’s going to happen, or at least not soon. I’m starting to consider picking up an Atgames table that I can connect my gaming rig up to to also play Pinball FX3/FX and VPX tables through, but I’m not really sure where to start.

    I was watching one of your other videos and the John Wick table blew me away at the end of the game with the bullet holes in the glass. Such an awesome touch and the kind of thing that I love that digital tables can do, really elevates that theme.

      Couldn't agree more! I love the digital approach. I first saw how versatile it could be when I played the Space Invaders table and then the point was really driven home with the Natural History games - watching those clouds move about the table and then seeing a pterodactyl fly through them was simply awe-inspiring.

      ​@@digitalvictory8266​ I've just discovered the delights of vr pinball and I now only play in vr. I did contemplate getting a atgames cab but I think I will just get a vpin controller instead.
      A best VR room and table category would be great and monthly mentions too. The 3D depth you get in vr just feels like you're standing in front of a real pinball table. I can't go back to playing on a flat screen now.
      My hope would be that the vpx developers integrate mixed reality so we can play a table in our real rooms.

      @@austintse5719 Some examples are Rollercoaster Tycoon, SpongeBob, Haunted House. They are more than just a virtual game room with the table. E.g. Rollercoaster Tycoon is situated in a waiting area where a rollercoaster keep coming in, stops, and the starts again. So the VR room is animated as well. But there are many more, but then I would have to review this years tables again…

    Ok, now I feel like I'm spamming the thread here but I feel compelled to ask - (and no need to answer of course) are you using measurable criteria when choosing the winners in each category? Do you have a list of bullet points graded from 1-5 (or whatever scale you may use) to determine an overall score? Or is the decision made simply by evaluating your own reactions to the sounds, lighting, music etc? There's no wrong answer of course, I'm just curious.

    • @digitalvictory8266
      @digitalvictory8266  11 місяців тому +1

      No, no - that's a great question and very fair.
      It's my own opinions and evaluations after multiple plays, and watching many videos. They're based on all the things I talk about during the video: gameplay, artwork, lighting, music, etc. Also - how the table makes me feel when I play it.
      I won't name any tables specifically, but playability and fun are EXTREMELY important to me. There are tables that are NOT fun (to me) simply because can't keep the ball going long enough to enjoy it. Are they too hard? Am I just too sucky a player (very possible - not in any way diminishing that aspect) - but I can only judge it based on MY thoughts/feelings.
      Anyway, buddy - I hope that answered your question. Thanks Dani!

    This was really fun! But it was weird seeing some original tables get nominated for "table of the year" but not "original table of the year", but I guess that was a way to get more tables into the conversation. Instead, I might've made the categories "Best Recreation", "Best Re-skinned Original Table" (eg Darkest Dungeon) and "Best Original Table" (eg Die Hard).
