Virtua Tennis 3 to use SIXAXIS tilt |
Eurogamer reports that SEGA has recently announced that the PS3 version of Virtua Tennis 3 will support the SIXAXIS' tilt function to move around the court and play shots. They say that though the tilt function is optional, if you do use it, you'll be able to move the player around the court by tilting the pad. You'll also be able to serve the ball and play shots using the controller like a tennis racket. Basically swinging the controller up quickly to lob, down quickly to slice, and horizontally for top spin.
Given the slight differences in motion sensing, and the different nature of the controller, it isn't exactly the same as Wii Sports Tennis. But there is enough motion sensing in there to invite comparisons to the Wii game. I guess what will set Virtua Tennis apart from the Wii version is the graphics. If only swinging around a PS3 controller wasn't so un-PlayStation, but that's just my personal sentiment. What do you guys think about this?
Virtua Tennis 3 is set to be released for the Xbox 360, the PC, the PS3, and the PSP next spring.

While the SixAxis may be handy for some games such as Warhawk and Tony Hawk, it doesn't make much sense for tennis.
it does seem a little odd, but the thought of moving characters around with an analog stick didn't seem so handy back in 95 either. who knows, Sega may actually make this mechanic work. and at least, if it doesn't, you can play it the "normal" way. sadly, the Wii doesn't have that option.
Yea character movement with the tilting could be a great thing if it's all done right. Being able to put just a tad bit of touch into the movement between a full out run would probably be easy to disern from with tilting I'd think. So hopefully it'll make the game even better.
I don't know...it seems kind of forced to me. I'm assuming you'd hold the controller the normal way to move around, which means you'll be changing the position a lot. Wii Sports uses a different method; you don't do the moving at all, and you use the controller as a racket the whole time. The controller shape works better for Wii, in my opinion. By the way, if you want to play the "normal" way, you're probably not playing Wii Sports anyway. And if people insist upon comparing, I wonder how the bundled Virtua Tennis will handle bowling, golf, boxing, baseball, and Mii support. Oh wait...it's not bundled, and it doesn't use those things. And I wonder how good Wii sports will look in 1080p, and if it's worth the 50 bucks...oh wait, that's wrong too. The point I'm trying to make with my sarcasm is that QJ (and Figboy) is (are) comparing two completely different games.
hold on ninty fanboys... allow me: "oh my god they sooo copied us, wii thought of that back in the 1800s, Sony's consoles only sell so well because they copy everything Nintendo does, oh my god!!!" There, don't waste your breath :)
Nobody said that. Stop wasting your breath
