Why not just announce it for all 3 consoles on day one? Makes no sense unless they just started developing for other consoles after the announcement, which isn't good.
Regardless. PS3 version here I come.
-
EXCLUSIVE GAMES THAT ARE BASIC SEQUELS TO A LARGE SELECTION OF GAMES WE HAVE ALL ALREADY PLAYED A LOT ARE VERY BIG DEALS.
-
Maybe it was first developed for PS3 (by SEGA Japan) and after a lot of requests from fans for a Xbox360 and Wii port they decided to make those versions too (and maybe give it to Sumo like VT3?).
But doesn't matter now, I'm happy that I will get a VT4 too and not only PS3 Users :)
-
Funny thing is, I was intentionally ignoring all the VT4 videos and articles because I didn't want to get all hyped up for a game that I thought I wouldn't be playing in 2011. Now with this, I have to go back and watch all the videos and read everything.
Really hoping for some crazy mini-games!
-
No one said VT4 on PS3 was a big deal ever, especially considering the other 20+ exclusives Sony has this year, including Yakuza 4 (which imo is a bigger deal).
VT3/VT2009 came out for all consoles. I'm not that hyped about this game, but I'm happy everyone gets to play.
-
All non-Kinect owners are now kicking themselves.
Suffer in your jocks!

Sometimes there are PR or Licensing agreements from the Platform holder to get over. Lost Planet II was announced 1st as 360 game, even though the Team were working on the PS3 version at the same time
-
Yeah. Probably Sony so they could have more Move stuff and gamescon
AM3 is confirmed as developer, but I hope they have some help. They are adding everything consoles can offer... wii motion plus, kinect controls, move and 3D?
Well 3D is easy, says Nagoshi.. but Kinect controls will probably take the most work. Tennis stuff on Wii/Move has been down before.
-
Development may have began on the PS3 but someone at Sega had to have stepped in and said that the game had to go multiplat. I mean, honestly, exclusive sports games? To the console with the smallest userbase?
Eh. Wouldn't have been smart.
Note the timing of this announcement, though....hot on the heels of Take-Two revealing their massive Top Spin 4 lineup and multiplat status. So it's very possible that the 360 and Wii versions will be rushed. I hope not...because it'll probably sell the best on these systems and it won't help the Sega brand name if they are of poor quality.
-
Virtua tennis is a classic, they cannot afford to mess with it's status on any platform. I really hope they put a lot of care on every version. Would be great if they managed to give the best wiimotion plus/move experience of any tenissing game.
-
Take-Two announced Top Spin 3 right after Virtua Tennis 3. I'm pretty sure VT3 outsold it, I expect the same thing to happen here.
-
Top Spin trys to be very 'Tennis Sim' and as realistic as possible, Virtua Tennis retains its Arcadey style. The mini games the way the game looks and even that trail the ball leaves as it flys though the air... It's so much more appealing to me.
I mean usually I hate sports games with a firey passion but I played a shit ton of Virtua Tennis back on the Dreamcast and enjoyed the crap out of it multiplayer.
-
Wonder if they'll actually get any of the players to endorse their game this time.
-
I loved Virtua Tennis on the DC too. I planned to get the last one on the Wii but unfortunately, that was apparently not a high-quality game. Maybe this one will be.
-
You did good not getting virtua tennis 2009 for wii. It was indeed kinda dissapoining. Sumo Digital, for what they are did deliver a decent game, but it's nowhere near the greatness of what the original team deliver.
-
Which is kinda too bad because I think there's an entire audience who loved Wii Sports Tennis and wants to play a real Tennis game on Wii that's actually good.
If there's one flaw I have with Sumo Digital it's that I wish they took their Wii versions more seriously. Because whether they like it or not, it's the version that sells the best.
-
Well VT4 will be developed by the original team, in Japan. Even the Wii version.
-
Well, I hope it's good. Sega actually really has a great opportunity here, especially on Move and Kinect.

Not really, the last two VIRTUA TENNIS games were multi platform as well. The difference this time is that AM3 is handling all versions. Apparently.

Yeah but I mean the plan apparently was that this installment would be PS3 exclusive.
-
Yeah i know what ya meant, but its like TA said about legal issues which delayed the 360 announcement, This game was always planned to be a multi platformer i'm afraid.

Eh...don't know about that. Past comments from the producer seemed to indicate otherwise.
-
That doesn't mean anything. I recall the producer of Virtua Fighter 5 saying that online could n't be included in the game because of lag issues and almost indicated it may never get done. six months down the line the 360 version comes out with online play. now if ya know about game development and release schedules, there was no way the producer couldn't have known or figured that online/lag times wouldn't have been a problem.
The same applies here, just because he said or whoever said it doesn't mean its always true. Because the game's other platforms are not only revealed but all coming out in spring. Now when did the news of VT4 became known to the public? Now really in thattimeframe do you really believe Sega just changed their mind and decided to do a kinectic version when you consider how long it takes to code for it? They had to have known from the beginning whether they were to use it or not.
-
I gotta agree with Joe here, this was always planned for multi-plat, just not announced right away.
-
SEGA was very dodgy when it came to answering fans questions about 360 and Wii versions. I recall the SEGA forum for the game was silent when it came to questions being answered, as were the comments sections at the blogs. Even the initial press release never mentions exclusivity: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1113533p1.html (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/111/1113533p1.html)
So yeah, I'm leaning toward it always being multi-plat. Sony just wanted to take away from Kinect press by showing off their motion controls and 3D tech. Probably slipped SEGA a $20.
-
lol well if it's true (though it still sounds a bit ridiculous to me...what does Sony gain by lying about a game being "exclusive" months before its release?) then yeah hopefully Sega got paid.
-
They've gained already. if you think that the PS3move was the original version before going MP, others will and that might lead to people deciding to go with the move version over the others because they will somehow think its better. i know it sounds silly but there are a few diehards who still think in that way and importantly have money to spend.
Plus as what the others sensibly said, Sony got free press for several months, so they have the advantage of getting it out there that they had it "first" to gamers.
Makes you wonder what exactly does the Ps3 have as an exclusive if they're getting any. On my count Sega has given Kinectic about two/three so far.

There's not a lot of PSMove Exclusives from Sega that I can think of, although it has a couple of decent first party exclusives at least (Razing Storm and The Shoot come to mind).
Also, it's Kinect, not Kinectic.
-
I know but i perfer to say kinectic. Sort of a pet name.
-
Fair 'nuff.
-
Awesome! I love this series, although I still just want to play it with a pad. Hope they keep the realism and don't make it too gimmicky

Check out this hands-on preview: http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/virtu ... 5458910050 (http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/virtua-tennis-4/preview/virtua-tennis-4-hands-on-preview/a-20110214163933607097/g-20110121135458910050)
The familiar World Tour Mode returns, bolstered by a new approach to presenting your created player's journey across the globe and broken into piecemeal locales (everyone starts in Tokyo, though). Given a specific set of days to make your way across a kind of board game-style series of stops, actual movements (and more importantly the number of moves) are dictated by simple tickets. Awarded by your coach or purchased using credits earned after finishing events, these are space-specific options - important because there are actually "bad" locations a player can stop on that can result in everything from injuries to getting, no joke, mugged.
Mugging in Virtua Tennis 4!!!
