WoW,, great job
i playing VT and i think it would be more better if there is 1.more ” Formalization” for each player, such ( speed,stamina,volley,forehand,overall)
also 2. Ball Sensibilities ( while Steering it, should be more real- so the ball can be fault or out)
3. what about formating the system to tab an machine error each 70-90 serve ” so that give players a “Challange” thaht would burn the match up :) lol

sounds good, also people please think how awkward it will be to hold a navigation controller and have to swing with the move at the same time, it would be very awkward which is why they have probably chosen for the cpu to move the character to the correct position so you can focus on just the hitting part, I can’t wait.

I haven’t been this excited for a Tennis game since…well…ever! Honestly, I did enjoy Sega Superstars Tennis, but that was a guilty pleasure.

So, the cpu controls your player’s legs? Thats pretty stupid… could have used the nav controller for that, no?

I am a pretty advanced tennis player and while I understand that you need to make the game accessible to all gamers, I would really love to have a “pro mode” where you actually move the character around with the analogue stick and where there’s no assistance in hitting the ball. So you can perform everything from inside-out forehands and other precision shots that are based on physics.

To me, the pack-in game that comes with the Move has a table tennis game. It has a “pro mode” where if you don’t line up the paddle with the ball and time it right, you are not going to be able to play it. This mode is for people who really know how to play table tennis. This is what I want in a PS Move tennis game. Something that might actually improve my strokes.

A backboard to hit against to practice your shots would be an awesome side addition. It’ll be interesting to see how Virtua Tennis and Ubisoft’s Raquet title (badminton, squash, tennis etc.) will compare and please us who are good at these sports. That’s what the precision of the Move is all about right? Open new possibilities!

Actually, while I understand the complaints- change bad and all- but when you think about it, isn’t it pretty obvious where you should move in most cases? It’s pretty much just removing one of the menial/automatic tasks and putting in a more difficult/nuanced task that used to be automatic. (Seriously, none of you ever thought it too simple how different ball-hits were before?) My question would have to be: does the game still support DS3 in addition to Move?

On a sidenote, those are some impressive graphics. Especially the crowd, which can be sloppy in some sports games. It’s like the MLB The Show of Tennis.

This is going to make tennis gameplay more interesting thanks to the Move.

Wow… Now, I’m not much of a fan of tennis games… but this sounds AWESOME!!!!

This is how Motion Control should be handled! Realistically, and intuitively… while also innovatively and imaginatively.

From reading this post, it seems you guys have been VERY busy! The whole “First-Third Persons Perpective switching” thing sounds awesome, and seems like it will be AMAZING with the motion controller and 3D being used.

My only question is: does this game play the same without a Move controller?

I was so excited about this game now I’m not so sure. I’mnot sure about the player moving on it’s own. I guess if one had to move the player and swing it could get a little tricky.

Let’s hope they do it right because since VT maybe VT2 the rest of the VT games have been disappointing.
