Tennis World Tour Gameplay Video & Interview, Release Date Scheduled For May 2018

[seattleFire]

There is a new youtube developer diary up for Tennis World Tour (in French) - some in game images and motion capture.

As I have less than 5 posts on this site I can't add urls, but if you search youtube with "Tennis World Tour - Developer Diary - Capturing Tennis" you will see it - maybe someone can post the proper link...

Wonder if this tennis game will have a replay & challenge system? I think if they added that it would add to the actual realism of the tennis that's played these days.

I think the biggest reason for PS4 gamers to buy this tennis game would be because we all have been waiting on a decent tennis game since Grand Slam Tennis & before that Top Spin 4 which has been the best Tennis game to date on consoles. At least this tennis game has most of the top stars which make it more appealing to true tennis gamers.

I also read on a forum that someone with knowledge of this game said there can be unlocking of tennis players/legends by certain accomplishments on the World Tour mode challenge. Some of the players mentioned that can be unlocked are Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Bjorn Borg, Boris Becker, Goran Ivanisevic, Ivan Lendl, & Michael Chang to name a few.

I think the initial roster is 25-30 tennis players including some of them being women. I can't confirm or deny this feature though. Just read it on IGN forums from someone with supposed insider information. Also be looking for a late May release & it could even be into early June. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the video. The shots seem a bit slow and loopy with players easily able to chase shots which should be winners. I'm hoping devs tweak the gameplay a bit to have a proper balance between players and ball speeds.
