SEGA has announced the development of Virtua Tennis 4 for the PlayStation 3. The next instalment in the popular tennis series will be compatible with PlayStation Move and support 3D TV technology. The game is slated for release in 2011.
According to SEGA, the advanced motion sensors of PlayStation Move allow the game to detect the angle of the racket and power of the shot, determining the spin and speed of the ball.
“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.”
When contacted this mroning, SEGA Europe was unable to comment on the game coming to other platforms. No exclusivity has been mentioned by either Sony or SEGA.
