Although it might be a tad early to announce “Game, Set, Match” for Top Spin 4, the game is already shaping up to be a real contender. Judging by comments from Gameplay Designer Remi Ercolani, Top Spin 4 could be the most realistic tennis game ever.
This is mainly because the gameplay will be a lot more balanced than when it was in Top Spin 3. From my experience with Top Spin 3, the game did not allow you to play with varying styles. The game only rewarded players who were able to hit the ball as hard as possible. There were no chances for net or defensive players to win any points. All the matches were much like long baseline rallies from the back of the court.
From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."
GF365: "The US Open is currently underway. It reminds me of the lack of top-notch tennis video games on PS4 and Xbox One. In short: we need a new Virtua Tennis or Top Spin."
Couldn’t agree more. Been too long since I last broke some ankles in a good tennis sim.
I don’t play tennis irl, but these two games series I played the hell out of. Definitely need a new one.
Anna Kornikova’s Smash Court Tennis should have a come back!
Love them bomb blast games
Preferred the top spin series compared to Virtua but since Top Spin 4. Tennis games have been dire and bad. From bad development and junky controls nothing comes close to TS4. Only new Tennis game I've actually enjoyed has been Mario Tennis on the Switch
Microsoft's Xbox E3 2018 briefing is now a week away and it's basically guaranteed to include new Xbox 360 games to be enhanced for the Xbox One X. We've picked five of the greatest titles that could really use it.
I'd say the most important games are the ones filled with fun (filled with fun) and that Microsoft should start there
True. I wish they made more games in their franchises instead of the failure that is Sea of Thieves
@codelyoko
Sea of Thieves is Rare’s fastest selling game of all time, for the record.
@YodaCracker
Not only was it released on 2 platforms, which PC being the first time seeing a rare game. Those numbers are partly inflated by game pass and free trial's for game pass. For the record.
"Maybe this was the reason the game is not on Xbox 360’s Kinect. The gameplay would be too difficult to play just by stroking your hand in the air."
Seems like most reviews favor Top Spin 4 over Virtua Tennis for realism.
How could anything ever top the realism of Wii Tennis?
