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 really like how fast they dive to the floor to reach for a ball though :/

It'll be a more Arcadey experience.

Was this running on a 360 or on the arcade/Lindberg stuff?

I did not watch the bigger version but this did seem to lack some of the shadowing techniques in some of the recent PR shots.

EDIT: Thanks snoopers! Seems both the question and the answer beat my response haha!

Btw, I am loving the streaming video!

Pretty sure the original two Virtua Tennis games on Dreamcast were more fun than Top Spin ever has been
Not to mention the insane amount of unlockables that Virtua Tennis had that was missing in the Top Spin series
Mini games were also always a blast
Also lets not forget the fact the music in Virtua Tennis trounces the music in Top Spin

Can't be fun being a camera man in Virtua Tennis 3 (beta), sitting still filming one spot all the time.

Seems like this game will be better than top spin, and just to say this game will be better than top spin, video looks nice too bad theres no sound.

Thanks for the vid!

Seems to be the E3 version, there's still no self-shadowing (as in the PS3 version). At E3 I was wondering about that, because a Sumo dev told me the 360 version was noticeably longer in development than the PS3 version (whereas it looked as if it was the other way around).

Which strikes me as odd because tasks like self-shadowing should be easier to do on the 360 than the PS3 (Xenos has a magnitude better dynamic branching and has been confirmed by multi-platform devs). It could be that Top Spin is being developed with Lindberg (6800GT) in mind so re-doing the effects on the 360 would take too much time and effort.

Surely the graphics data would be fairly simple to shift over to RSX though. (edit:- i really need to start reading to the end of your posts lol)

I did and i found it very boring, this in my eyes is what sets Japanese games a part from Western games, not everything has to be realistic for it to be fun.

In fact i would say its more the oppisite.

i found from playing Top Spin 2 and seeing footage of virtua tennis the moves arent very fluid.

Maybe its because i've been forced to watch wimbledon for what feels like a lifetime these past 2 weeks but comparing it to the real thing it doesnt seem to do it justice, not that i like tennis, i hate it to be quite honest, but the animations could have been merged together better.

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.
