Many people would put tennis into the second tier of sports in America. With no American man the dominant force anymore, people turned a blind eye to tennis. The recent Wimbledon matches and budding rivalries have made the sport something to behold as of late and 2K could not have picked a better time to release their second next gen tennis simulation. Is this game an ace or is another unforced error for a sport trying to make its name in the gaming world? It’s more of a safe drop shot.
I got to spend a little bit of time today talking with Anthony DeLuca, the Producer for 2K Sports upcoming Top Spin 3. We discussed a lot of topics surrounding the game’s development and upcoming release.
In the eyes of the development team, tennis games were starting to become static and they wanted a more fluid gameplay to complement playing tennis is real life. Top Spin 3 does this as it more realistically portrays what you are doing on screen with the inputs you give on the controller. New methods of control with the right analog stick have been implemented to give a more fluid feel to the game. For the Wii, how hard you swing and the angle of the Wii remote determines your shot type and speed, which is pretty cool.
