LOL watch Nadal hit a onehanded backhand at 3:25 in the first video.

[KluddKalle]

WTF is this?! I see alot of one handed backhands from both Nadal and Djokovic. It seems completely random.

[oshiee]

looks pretty terrible.
Is that Djokovic or Pete Sampras? I see a lot of 1 handed backhands that aren't slices.

Honestly the game looks decent, but the movement still looks really silly, a la Virtua Tennis, and the net man seems to be God, judging by those videos.
Djokovic at the net in every rally

Not sure how they came up with 2-handers hitting one-handers all the time. Think they've been watching Tsonga too much, or they're using a topspin animation for a slice

From the youtubes: "It's not realistic, 99% of the shots go inside, it's almost impossible to fail a shot. Virtua Tennis 3 is at least a fantastic arcade game, i don't know what GST2 is, as a simulator its a joke, as an arcade its incredibly boring."

SIGH

The voices of nadal and Nole is real and better than ts4

[L Sanchez MD]

Nah the Djoko one is still worse.

Btw, I hope you'll be able to turn off commentary. I watched a few other videos of the demo on youtube, and they all have the same phrases repeated over and over.
Gotta love Cash screaming about a backhand winner being 'powered' down the line, when it's just a volley, lolz.

Ditto on this.

I think the animation triggers are screwed up a bit, but nothing that can be adjusted in time for release. Net game of course is a biggie. You can see the good ol' snapping into position that TS4 has. Groundies are fine, players are bit too fast thou...again, nothing that cant be fixed.

All in all, I think the game looks like fun. Lack of errors thou will not make it as good of a SIM as TS3. Lets see if it can sell more copies then TS3.

4 console doubles thou is confirmed and will surely bring TONS of fun to ITST tour.

Whose copies were more sold?? Ts3 or ts4

[djarvik]

The site isn't reliable. They are reporting that TS1 (PC) had sales of 0.00m. The ITST had 2,002 TS1 (PC) members, so they are off by 2,002, at least.

[djarvik]

yeah....I think they didnt collect the info at the time.

It may not be reliable for total figures, but for the sake of compassing it will do

[Moralspain]

Nadal for Spain, Tsonga for France, Federer for Germany, and Mcenroe for the rest of the rest of the world

*buys german import*

I would be really excited about this game were it not for the 0 baseline unforced errors.
WHY TENNIS GODS, WHY?

Yes, and no.

Except for the random one handed backhands I like what I'm seeing. And the positive thing about the one handers is that the animation looks good.

I hope the demo will be up again soon, can't wait to try it. This could be a lot of fun, maybe not so much sim. But as long as its fun I don't care.
