SEGA’s Road to E3 2006 kicked off early this morning with an announcement about its upcoming release of Virtua Tennis 3. The game will be geared to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Counting down to the E3 conference in May, SEGA has launched a site that will host major game announcements every day up until the big show. Virtua Tennis 3 is the first of many titles expected to be announced over the next 15 days.
With Virtua Tennis 3, the series returns with enhanced photo-realistic graphics and advanced player animations that perfectly match the behavior and mannerisms of individual professional athletes. Next-generation systems allow gamers to see the most detailed expressions on the faces of their selected players as they battle to win heated tournaments around the world. Improvements to the game's AI have also upped the challenge to becoming the top seed of the tennis world.
"The familiar depth of the Virtua Tennis franchise returns with improvements that can only be fully realized on next-gen systems," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "Great pick-up and playability, life-like details, and incredible physics are benchmarks of the series and will make Virtua Tennis 3 the standard by which all tennis games are judged."
SEGA media release
Virtua Tennis 3 will not be a lunch title for the PS3, instead it’s expected to debut next Spring for both the 360 and PS3.
