Sega just announced that Virtua Tennis 3 would be released during spring 2007 on both PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Great news :) First screens inside.
Update : Sega just contacted me to tell me that these screenshots are from the arcade version of the game, running on a Lindbergh platform.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)

You'd have to be mental.
This really breaths tennis, I like it!
Topspin 2 is very disapointing.
it plays way to fast paced, characters look nothing like the players themselves, and don't get me started about the player characteristics(which don't exist in this game)!
I don't think the people who are responsible for this game even know the slightest thing about tennis themselves.
It's like they just asked the 1st guy on the street a few questions about tennis and
went on from there.
If you are a tennis fan and want to get a tennis game, I'd suggest you wait to see what virtua tennis has to offer before getting Topspin 2, because Topspin 2 is not a game for a tennis fan!
This however, looks like it is!

i like that topspin 2 is fast paced like the real thing, it think it captures tennis more than any other tennis game i've played...but if your saying that virtua tennis is better then great.
personally i don't think the graphics are that much better from those screens..but have to wait to see it in motion....topspin 2 has some really good animations but it is pretty bland...this looks to have a bit more happening
the more tennis games the better...here's hoping for a fully flegded out game like a madden or something...with all the tournament, or at least all the grand slams and masters series....lots of real life players with good variation and great gameplay on the court...
could somebody tell me how virtua tennis plays? like is it more arcady or more realistic than topspin? or very similar?
It just doesn't have that tennis feeling to it.
Topspin does have good animations but not really character specific; It's like they have 2 or 3 "character templates" and spread them around the players randomly.
Nonetheless, Topspin might be a fun game for many people, but for a tennis fan like myself this game sucks, imo.
Again, I can't tell you Vritua tennis is going to all this better, but judging from these screens, I think it's going to be a hell of a lot better.
Like I said, Topspin has good character animations, but lacks in the player characteristics themselves.
Also and most importantly, this game lacks in atmosphere.
So no matter how good the animations are, if it doesn't have that feel to it, it doesn't do it for me.
