Why not introducing a new pitch black background ingame?
Instead of the current play room, I was thinking of a pitch black background. You would only see the table, nothing else. That wouldn't require any artistic work from the developers, and it would be better than the current background which looks so dated and ugly.

It's fine as it is, the background is not as important as the actual tables. You'd expect the game developers to optimize for the tables and not the backgrounds. This isn't Crysis 3.

I'm not suggesting to create a new background from scratch, but to remove the current one as we don't need any background to begin with. You return to play Crysis.

No no no, if it were pitch black it'd ruin the "pinball table in a room" vibe. Perhaps as an option.

As an option for sure.

Honestly they should do what PGR3 did and make it like a garage of collectible pinball tables you could walk around and explore.

Until you have a whole room full of tables with all the slots filled up and then you could just nerd boner after that.

That would be great indeed, but that would require so much work. Maybe in 2050.

I agree; black to save a few CPU/GPU cycles :)
For myself I play in potrait and don't even see the background.

As GhostK1ll wrote, it would be nice with that introduction to the pinball but I don't see that happening.

How hard would it be? I like it as an option, not as the default.

running in landscape removes some of it

You mean in portrait? My problem with portrait mode is that it removes parts of the table aswell QQ. I wish they would rework the cameras and zoom back a little. I don`t want to mess with a third party mod for that, too complicated.
