 Posted: Thu, 18th May 2017 20:32 Post subject: Tennis World Tour (of failure) |
|
 |
| Quote: | Bigben and Breakpoint are pleased to announce Tennis World Tour, the new standard for tennis games, due for release in 2018 on consoles and PC.
In order to make the best possible game and match players' expectations, the studio has brought in an experienced team which has worked on the "Top Spin" license. |
| Quote: | Pierre André, Game Designer on Tennis World Tour and former Producer on "Top Spin 4": "For years we've wanted to create a new tennis game, a spiritual successor to "Top Spin 4". Technical evolutions now mean we can create the ultra-realistic simulation that we've been dreaming of."
Benoît Clerc, Director of Video Games at Bigben: "We are proud to give to all tennis fans a game worthy of their enthusiasm. The level of quality, wealth of content and game mechanics will ensure Tennis World Tour is one of the best sport simulations on the market."
This desire to provide a faithful tennis simulation translates into demanding gameplay during rally, a wide range of playing styles and a strategic preparation that influences the course of each match.
In addition to that, Tennis World Tour lets you experience the career of a professional: more than 30 playable tennis stars including Roger Federer, Gaël Monfils, Angelique Kerber, Garbiñe Muguruza and many more.
More information about the game will be provided during Gamescom 2017. |

At last, a tennis game on PC!
The good news is that it will be made made by the same(ish) developing team as the Top Spin series, the bad one...well Bigben is behind this.

Not really a fan of Top Spin or Virtual Tennis, I preferred Smash Court back then and now Tennis Elbow. But hey, at least we are getting a new tennis game that has a little bit of a budget.

Not quite the graphical jump that one would expect (perhaps they took the 'back to the roots' too literally  ), but if the gameplay will be as simulative as promised, the animations won't be imported from Top Spin 1 and the single player part will be robust, I'll be a happy panda.
The game won't have ATP or WTA licensing for budget reasons, though the famous players will be there (hopefully all of them).

Actually.. I think they have it spot on. Tennis on a game NEEDS to be just a fraction slower than the real thing, to allow the reaction time from brain to fingers to kick in. Real lawn tennis isn't exactly a speedy affair which is why it always looks so good AND has longer matches (generally speaking)
I hope this plays well... I love a good tennis game.

Of course, this is great, it looks superb... but with only 'Maxine' ... all the players will be identical. And no women of course...

Yup, reproducing all the different personal styles manually is going to be a hard task with all the nuances and specific movements. It's a complicated situation in general, since big companies don't seem to invest in the sport anymore (although maybe it's for the best  ), so we're left with small-ish ones that try to do what they can with what they have. There's another tennis game coming out (AO Tennis) but from the gameplay videos it doesn't look very promising (to put it mildly :<). |

Well if he does every players then he does a good job. You ca easily recognize Monfils way of playing and moving on one of the gameplay video.

| Quote: | Tennis World Tour comes out this spring (PS4, Xbox One, PC & Switch), and we grilled producer Romain Ginocchio and creative director Etienne Jacquemain for all the details we could get our hands on regarding the title.
CAREER MODE
You start with a created character at the bottom of the rankings, aiming for the top. You can't use an existing, licensed pro (the game ships with 30 of them).
Character customization features include your face, serve animation, attitude (how you visually respond to events during matches), handedness, and even your "groan." The creation suite isn't designed towards replicating existing players. Sorry. You can create multiple players.
Players set up their schedule by the week, and you have to balance scheduling training sessions, tournaments, preparing for tournaments, vacations, sponsorship meetings, and more with making sure you get rest. The tradeoff is earning money, XP, and loot equipment, with the possibility of running down your player and increasing the chance of getting them hurt.
The developers worked with a coach from the French tennis federation to study players' schedules.
Players can get jet lagged if they travel too much.
Training sessions (like volley training) can be chosen for a bonus in your next match.
Players can be lightly injured and still play a tournament, suffering debuffs to your speed and power, and risking a long-term injury.
Vacations help you recuperate, but when you're not playing tournaments you risk lowering your ranking.
There is no simming past tournaments to get a result.
You can sign/change coaches, agents, and equipment manufacturers for bonuses and equipment. These come with requirements for your player such as being a certain level or ranking, or attending a certain event.
There are 100 pieces of non-licensed equipment (racket, grips, shirts, dampeners, socks) that unlock as you progress, but there are no microtransactions in the game. Equipment – which has rarity levels – is also awarded randomly for winning matches, and a rare sponsorship, for example, gives you rare-level equipment.
SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES
There are over 100 skills in the game, and before matches you can equip up to five of them. Some are passive, while others activate at specific times, like getting a power boost at the start of a point that decreases with each shot. There are no skills related to specific court types.
You can see which skills are active during a point via an onscreen indicator. You can also see the skills your opponent is tapping into.
Skills level up through three tiers.
You earn attribute points during your career and these are applied to three player archetypes: Attack, Defense, and Serve/Volley. Putting points into any of these three categories then changes specific character attributes (like control, power, etc.) and your strokes. So, you don't put points specifically into your forehand, for example, but that will grow at a variable rate depending on which archetype you invest points in. Characters level up to 30.
GAMEPLAY
Last week colleague Brian Shea and I talked about some of our gameplay impressions of an early version of the title (see below), and here are a few other tidbits:
In terms of the game's assistance that Shea and I reference in the video, the developer says there will be some level of assistance to, "keep a realistic and playable animation system," but any movement assist "will be less noticeable [in the final game] and leave more freedom to the player than in the alpha builds." If I had to guess, it felt like the build we played had a relatively high level of movement assist.
The wind may affect the ball.
Tennis legend John McEnroe is the game's English-language announcer. Retired pro Guy Forget handles the French track.
Other classic players will be announced at a later time, and there are players which are being added after release.
There are no official tournaments or stadiums, but the studio is in talks with some licensors.
Doubles play – including mixed doubles – will be free DLC after launch. The developer isn't sure yet if doubles will be available during your career or just in exhibition mode.
There are stat overlays during matches for things like fast serves and long rallies.
The game will have 4K support for Xbox One X and PlayStation Pro.
There is a Tennis Academy tutorial section with different levels of training. |

The game features quick match, ranked, tournament, and create-a-match online modes.
Create-A-Match allows for custom time of day/weather.
Tournaments feature seeding.
Ranked matches require your character is at level 25, with randomized time of day/weather. Ranked matches also have a league system where you're matchmade with players within your league.
PRESENTATION, DLC & MORE! |
That is exactly what the tennis genre needed.
Just hope there is enough players online, cannot wait for this!
