Beautiful 
Topspin 2 is turd, this will be the ultimate tennis game.
Has there been confirmation of Online Play for the PS3/XB360?

Just where else is there left to go with this tired franchise?
VT2 is more than sufficent for my arcade tennis needs, a slight graphical update does not merit a new game.

Doesn't mean the game will be good. I hope it plays well. But honestly I haven't played any Virtua Tennis games before, so I'm unsure regarding the gameplay quality of this series. How has it fared in the past?

I think it's great for those of us who have only played, but never owned, their own Virtua Tennis game.

Looks good to me. Like arcade perfect high def Virtua Tennis.
hopefully the PS3 version will have a decent online interface built into the game.

Is there any rule against the 360 rendering internally at 1360x768? I know games are *supposed* to render atleast at 720p(although PGR3 doesnt), and I know they're allowed to render at 1080i, but will MS let them render 1360x768 then downsample to 720p?
It seems like I will continue to have a love-hate relatioinship with Virtua Tennis.
I LOVE Virtua Tennis because of the way it plays. It's a 3 button game, that has wonderful, wonderful gameplay. It has lots of depth: you WILL notice a difference in how your character plays on clay, as opposed to grass. That lob should've gone over your opponent's head, but he's a little faster than you think on grass, so he's about to get to in, and spike it into the far wall. Every single friend of mine who gave it a chance (c'mon man! Its three ****in buttons, dawg. Try it!!), have liked the game, to the point that one of them ended up buying a dreamcast just for that one game. And Doubles?! Hell, even my ex liked it then.
I HATE Virtua Tennis because, well.... it's ugly. Real ugly. I don't understand how after all this time the folks over at that particular development department at Sega don't know how to make a decent character model that looks like their real-life counterpart. The croud? Yikes. I know that we're not at the point where we can render ten thousand people in the stands, but geez, give me something a bit more than a super low-resolution bitmap guys...
Oh, and Sega? 2 things: This is the home version of your arcade game. Give us a full 3 set game. I appreciate all the mini games that you give for single-player longevity, but since you don't make any of those same mini games 2 player, give me a full match game.
Secondly. This needs to be online in a fierce way. I'm talking about doubles play, online. You make this happen, and I will purchase the game and the game system that it's released on.

well the arcade version isn't even out yet.
And really you could call it a two button game since lob can be done with pressing main two buttons at once. Usually how I play anyway, allows you to charge up a top spin or backspin shot then in a split second change it to a lob by pressing the other button as well.

I don't know if it's a mistake, but in the latest release list sent to the press, Virtua Tennis 3 appears shedduled for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and PSP.

Technologically impressive, but the art and modeling is shit.
Looks about the same as topspin 2 graphically to me (although TS2 has major animation issues) dont know where people saying it looks loads better are getting that from.
Hopefully this game does what TS2 could not do and maintain the last generation control, and add a little more variety (TS2 did neither).

I can't agree. The shadowing / self shadowing in VT3 here looks way better, as do the backgrounds and court textures and clothing.
TS2 graphically isn't as bad as people seem to be making out though. Hopefully TS3 will use table tennis engine, not that we'll need a TS3 after this! Can't wait for Sega to release the big guns, really can't!
In case anyone is interested, here is a brand new video we filmed last friday. It's from the E3 build on a 360.

Btw am I the only who notices that the shadows are very buggy? Look at the red walls on some of these shots, there are no shadows from dynamic objects on them. Only static ones like chairs.

Doesn't seem so since the 360 build on E3 lacked self-shadowing and FSAA while the PS3 build (rushed out for E3 and way shorter in development back then) had both. That worries me a little bit, even though a Sumo dev said that in the end, both versions would look the same.
