IGN says PS3 aces 360 in Virtua Tennis

As IGN was checking out the new Virtua Tennis 3 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at Leipzig, they made note of the "slight" differences between the two versions saying that the PS3 edged out the 360 when it came to graphical dominance.

everyone knows that the 360 and ps3 pretty much have equally graphics. on some games 360 looks on other ps3 looks better. who really cares all it comes down to is your playing style. turn based rpg's and alot of other japanese titles go for the ps3 straight action and the best fps's on the planet go to 360. i love my 360 and if i had the cash to afford a ps3 i would buy one to have both even though they look almost exactlly the same. one always edges out the other in certain games. boo hoo fan boys they are freaking graphics.

Is it just me or is that guy's neck really long?

I think if the a game is done by two differant developers it should not be called the same name.

lol, yah like a brontasaurus. A real rubbernecker.

Marriot VP6473d ago

Incase you guys didn't read the article it says the game was made by 2 different companies. So once again we're gonna have to wait to see which console has the marginal edge in graphics.

Both are very near equal.

kingboy6473d ago

suprise to see there`s no flaming,that`s nice.

specialguest6473d ago

oh, but had it been the other way around if IGN says 360's version looks better than PS3. THE MART and friends would have a field day bashing the PS3 until the cows come home.

Whatever Happened To Virtua Tennis?

Sega's prominent tennis sim just couldn't be beat. And then vanished without a trace. Why?

Answer: Sega.

You could change the name of the game in the title that was awesome in its day, could still be around today because of its fun factor with a remake, remaster or sequel, that's in their huge back catalog, that's no longer being produced as a franchise. And the answer would still be the same: Sega.

As much as I love their games and their spunky attitude. That Sega no longer exists that I grew up with. The current company is a mere shadow of its former self with only a few moments of grandeur. Which is why owning their previous consoles like Dreamcast, is a necessary thing if you want to continue playing games like Virtua Tennis. The reason why I have two of them just in case one stops working. And of course emulation on the go. Wink. Dreams do come in red.

Virtua Tennis 3 and 4 didnt sell well. Thats all.

senorfartcushion554d ago

Both Virtua Tennis and Top Spin have gone. It’s annoying for tennis game players.

CBaoth554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

Yeah....all 5 of them. Obviously, game budgets now outweigh profit for what essentially boils down to Pong. I'm not talking about coders but licensing costs. Boxing, golf, etc...all fall in this category where real life athletes far supersede their worth in video games. Same thing occurred to Sony's Playstation All-stars. Sony spent 2 generations helping to cultivate all these 3rd party mascots into recognizable assets but when it came to license them for a game, they didn't want to pay the exorbitant fee. That game's 1 million sales didn't warrant a sequel and I very much doubt ANY tennis game could reach that sales plateau

It’s funny how you’re over the age of 3 and don’t know how to read properly 😅😅 Why the bizarre response?

Yi-Long554d ago

I couldn’t care less about licensing in a tennis or golf game. I don't need real-life players or locations/tournaments.

Just give me some fun cool characters, some courts/courses in varied gorgeous locations, and use the Virtua Tennis or Everybody’s Golf gameplay. That’s it.

ActualEngineer554d ago

I used to play tennis IRL and in videogames. My 2-cents is that a boring game that was simulating an extremely boring sport, was thrown under the rug, now that the devs can produce more complex and interesting games.

It's like the tetris-like games and games like space-invaders, that stopped being produced ... it is because they were good and simple to make in the early days of commercial videogame development but they are just not as interesting as, let's say, an open-world coop arpg ...

Sony makes the "greatest" everything. Amazing experiences .

caseh3963d ago

Not really, most of those games were available on multiple platforms.

Just so happens that the PS magazine wrote the article so makes sense it would be 'Playstation's greatest games' :)

kreate3962d ago

Hot shots tennis on ps2 was the best playstation tennis game.
