I'm going to start lining my shots up from a much higher level from now on, because I'm all for realism.
One option I do wish VP4 had adopted from SP, is the option to follow the cue ball after the shot has been played.Last edited by Billy; 16 January 2018, 09:36 PM.

Can you elaborate on this, please? What do you mean by only three view modes to choose from?

A bit surprised to see a gameplay video made by me posted here by someone else! :snooker:
Some comments:
- Released on november
- No career modes, no AI opponents. You can play/practice offline.
- Not very heavy: AMD Phenom 2 x4 2.8GHz and Radeon 4850 1GB it was well playable with ~about the max settings in Full screen mode, laggy in windowed mode. After upgrading GPU to GTX 1060 3GB, frame rate above 120 all the time with maxed out settings in full screen, haven't actually tried the windows mode with current GPU yet.
- Way more difficult, in realistic way, than VP4 because of the aiming view restrictions (3 modes available to choose from)
- For me the sum of great physhics, great graphics and challenging gameplay over-rules the lack of career mode and AI-opponents, online play is "the thing" for me, maybe not for all. This is why I prefer SP over VP4.
- Price: for being a beta tester I didn't pay one cent for the game and one year of online lisence . Like the game so much thou I'm pretty sure that I will buy the new online lisense when the current one expires on november 2018.
- No demo version (at least yet)
- Even the game is released, it doesn't mean its "finished", new features are being done all the time.

Must confess this new entry to the snooker/pool sim market looks very very impressive. I think it's still in Beta, but rumours suggest it won't be cheap when it's released.
