Xbox 360 PS3

Still from the Japan Expo, here is a gameplay video of Virtua Tennis 3 (X360 version), with two human opponents. I also took the time to give it a try, and really liked what I played. Can't wait for a Marketplace demo !

Don't worry folks we are getting closer as processing power continues to grow we'll be able to get more out of a game's in terms of realistic animation combined with awesome graphics as we go on :)

With the next consoles after the ps3 and 360. We'll have so much processing power that we'll likely be able to really push the envelope graphically while maintaining a very advanced form of animation system.
But will we be able to afford it
Also for all we know next gen systems might go in the direction of Nintendo

wow look great on 360 i hop its look the same on ps3
I don't see why it would not. This is a port of a game that was developed for Pentium 4/nVidia combo arcade unit. Mind you the arcade unit has a bit of an advantage over the X360 and PS3, because it has 1.5GB of RAM (compared to 512MB of RAM for both X360 and PS3), but if they can get these results on the 360, they should be able to get them on the PS3.

I think what a lot of people fail to understand concerning both systems and cross-platform games that wind up on both systems, is that they use a lot of the same art assets. So for example, if they are using a set of textures for one version of the game, then they are using that same set for the other version. Art assets being the most expensive part to game development (and the main reason why games cost double-digit millions of dollars to make these days). It saves a lot of development cash to work games where they share art assets across as many platforms as possible, and this is why you will see far fewer 3rd party exclusive titles to either system this gen, than ever in the industry's history.

One of the reason that Nintendo is getting so many exclusives with Wii, is that because Nintendo refused to follow the path of constantly increased art assets = better games, Wii titles will be far less expensive to create than either X360 or PS3 games. So a developer can afford to spend the money on a Wii title and it remain exclusive. Factor that with the rumor that Wii is just a little more powerful than the original Xbox, and you have a system where every developer on the planet already has a library of graphic engines that will work on Wii (just about any library that was used to develop Dreamcast, Xbox, GCN or PS2 game). All those libraries need is optimization to make use of the extra power and capabilities of the Wii, and you easily have the least expensive (relatively speaking) next-gen console ever, to develop for. It will not surprise me in the least, if there are Wii games that cost less than $1 million to produce and actually cost more to market and distribute than it cost the dev to make it. All because they do not have to deal with the increased price that art assets rises game development by.

In the meantime, on X360 and PS3, expect to see more and more games cross platform to both systems . . . and expect them for the most part to look and play exactly the same. And Virtua Tennis 3 should be no exception to that rule.

well stated, this is a port they will relatively look the same besides a little better lighting and maybe some higher resolution textures (because of 1080p), all be it the game will proubably run at a faster framerate on the ps3.

Looks nice - seems to play just like the rest of the series, but that's no bad thing. A little more depth and it should be one decent tennis game. Having said that, I hope the PS3 version is a bit more realistic - like making the net move when the ball hits it - especially after a powerful serve...

Oh, and what's all this garbage about Wii being cheap to develop for? Only if they want it to be cheap...
