SEGA today announced a host of new features for ‘Virtua Tennis 3’ that will bring the fabled series up to snuff with Xbox 360’s multiplayer and high definition capabilities.
Videophiles will be pleased to learn ‘Virtua Tennis 3’ will be playable in 1080p video thanks to Microsoft’s Fall update in conjunction with the add-on HD DVD player. If you haven’t had a chance to download the update, now would be a good time.
Taking a page from ‘Project Gotham Racing 3’ is a new VT:TV mode allowing players to watch tournament matches over Xbox Live to pick up on tips and tricks for their own use. Those matches will be playable as ranked or unranked for casual or hardcore gameplay.
“With the implementation of 1080p capabilities on the Xbox 360, players will experience a new level of visual intensity and athletic drama played out on the court through a wide range of varied and realistic animations and dynamic cloth physics,” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. “Virtua Tennis 3 is a must-have for fans and newcomers to the series due to its great pick-up-and-play ability, life-like details, and incredible physics. Now with unique Xbox Live play, Virtua Tennis 3 has once again pushed the boundaries to redefine what a great multiplayer video game should be.”
