EGTV: Virtua Tennis 3 trailer News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

The ball's in our court.

For all right-minded folk, it's understandably difficult to think about anything other than The Beautiful Game right now - but another great sporting event is also just around the corner, with Wimbledon fortnight serving up as the World Cup enters its knock-out stages.

One of the most thrilling prospects on the videogames horizon is Sega's next-gen instalment of the masterful Virtua Tennis series. And while its spring 2007 release on Xbox 360 and PS3 is far too late to cash in on the Pimms-fuelled frolics at the All England Club this summer, EGTV has an exclusive showing of the first trailer of Virtua Tennis 3 right now.

In development at talented UK studio Sumo Digital, the outfit responsible for the top-notch PSP instalment in addition to recent OutRun console titles, VT3 promises all the enhancements you'd expect from a next-gen product, with the tantalising prospect of full online play.

Indeed, "even the briefest glimpse tells us enough to know that this is shaping up to be another must-have title," is how our very own Kristan gushed in his goggle-eyed E3 playtest.

You can check out the full exclusive trailer right now on Eurogamer TV.

The player likenesses are already looking better than the abysmal efforts in Top Spin 2, but many of them still look badly off (Roddick, Blake and Federer just from that trailer).

? It doesn't look that much better than Top Spin 2?

Maybe it's the resoloution of EGTV's video.

Still. One of the most well balanced sports game franchises, so I'm looking forward to this one!

Top Spin 2 looks ace to my eyes, the difference will be in how the game plays.

I personally prefer the VT way of doing things, though TS comes a close second.

VT2 is great thou the computer player AI is oddly balanced, you either feel like you never had a chance or you were playing a junkie dragged off the street

Forget this. Forget Top Spin 2 (unless you have a 360).

The tennis game to have right now is Smash Court. Mainly because that's about the only decent one you can get on current gen cosoles (PS2). I am not aware of any good PC tennis games.

Can't wait for VT to release.

If you have a Dreamcast, that is.
