LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (August 18th, 2010) ? SEGA? Europe Ltd. and SEGA? of America, Inc. are thrilled to announce that the critically acclaimed Virtua Tennis? series is in development for PLAYSTATION?3 computer entertainment system, featuring full PlayStation?Move compatibility and 3D technology. Due to release in 2011 and being developed in Japan by the original Virtua Tennis Team, Virtua Tennis 4 promises a more immersive, true to life tennis experience than ever before.

Virtua Tennis 4 with the PlayStation Move isn?t just about hitting the ball; it?s about the angle of the racquet, the spin and speed of the ball and the power of the shot. The advanced motion sensors of PlayStation Move precisely track both the fast and subtle movements of the controller allowing for pinpoint accurate shots as players improve their racquet skills. Virtua Tennis 4 will also support 3D technology delivering unprecedented realism to the experience, bringing you closer than ever to being out on the court.

?Virtua Tennis 4 is a fantastic example of how our 3rd Party partners are seeing the potential not just in PlayStation Move, but also 3D,? said Simon Rutter, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing at SCEE. ?The combination of both Move and 3D offers an entirely new gaming experience and one that has the potential to completely change how people interact with their entertainment. Virtua Tennis 4 shows how this technology can be implemented and we are very excited to be working with SEGA on this.?

?We have always strived to provide a tennis experience that is both true to the sport and great fun to play, and we are continuing to work with Sony to make this happen?, commented Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America. ?With Virtua Tennis 4 being developed for PlayStation Move and featuring 3D technology, the boundaries of realism in sports video games are being pushed even further?.

With a host of additional features and the full player line-up to be revealed in the coming months, Virtua Tennis 4 is slated for release in 2011 and will be available on PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.

Virtua Tennis 4 is currently being shown at the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe consumer stand in Hall 07.1 of the Cologne Trade Fair Center at Gamescom 2010 trade fair for interactive games and entertainment.

if they make it like rockstar's table tennis, wher you can actually hit the ball out, then it should be decent.

I think Zach's saving himself for the ringpiece version

Any word on a demo for this yet? Will the move controls be any good or just tacked on ones like on topspin 4.

This is the reason that the VT series is terrible for me. It is a massive gamebreaker.

1. You can hit the ball out
2. The demo doesn't support Move -FAIL!

Since Wii arrived I will no longer play golf or tennis games with a regular pad. These types of games work much better with motion controls.

Will the 360 version support 3D ? any reviews about on the move controls vs kinect ?

They're releasing a second demo which supports Move controls as well as 3D, I suppose it may be out this week with the launch at the end of the month?

I've read a few reports but they all seem to use what's being described as early implementation of the Kinect control and they just don't seem as good at the moment although that could of course change.

Sony have also secured exclusive content and modes as well as the two demos so it may just be a matter of Sega leading with this version. It's worth pointing out that any progress made in the demos will carry across to the full game if you keep the save.

I've not seen anything mentioning 3D support on the 360, I think it's just harder to do well on the console due to a load of technical reasons I have no understanding of.

I'm quite looking forward to this after the demo, I do miss the old PS1 Smash Court Tennis games but this was a lot of fun. I wonder if may people will buy this version?

Was going to pick this up. But the impression of the demos have not been good. Worst than 09, which is real bad as I thought 09 was the worst in the series. I think Top spin will keep me occupied, and this will have a price drop come Wimbledon.

[yesteryeargames]

I heard you cant use the ps3 motion controls in online or single player modes might as well just go for the 360 version for the better standard controller and online modes

[Number45]

Wait, so you can only use them in local multiplayer? That makes no sense whatsoever.
