While I brought news earlier today that both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would see Virtua Tennis 3 in 1080p, Gamasutra confirmed through SEGA that the game won't have any online play for the PS3. WTF?
In speaking with a Sega representative, the company confirmed that online support will be specific to the Xbox 360, while the PlayStation 3 version will include added support for the PS3 controller's tilt functionality in lieu of being able to play online. Both versions, however, will include support for 1080p resolution.
“What we really wanted to do was focus on making each version unique,” commented a Sega representative, “and so with the Xbox Live features and the SIXAXIS tilt functionality, we think that each version will offer players an unique experience.”
Sony, please don't make the PS3 another online disaster like the PS2. You have an awesome system, stop f*cking it up!

Nice spin, Sega :)
Store Guy: "Sure, what console"
PS3 Owner: "For the ps3"
Store Guy: "Oh, you want the 'special' version"
Yeah thats a fair tradeoff, lame ass tilt functionality instead of kickass onli....hey WTF....*looks at Wii sitting on fireplace*
Probably for the same reason they can't have vibration and tilt functionality at the same time.
Lunacy
so sad, sega you're a has-been
But they don't. They are arrogant and/or clueless.
haha i like that pic.
maybe if they at least said they are having problems and will have update to add it who knows... The fact remains that out of Sony house people have made a couple games doing online fine.... And I think of Sega and all the MP games they have and maybe some is Sony fault but i see most of it as Sega inexperience fault. (In the end i'll prolly play the game and never play a game online, i never played top spin 2 online, just like quick tennis games for in house temporary fun, kinda like a wii.)
Copy the damn system already
Don't you know?
You flail the controller around like you were shaking out your bathroom rug.
I had no idea that was why their online service was free, their system is hard to develop for, they get charge to have their games get online play, developers must hate them.
I'm not a hardcore fan of tenis but this just guaranteed that I won't be getting this game. Not even for $25.
Hopefully other developers will save us PS3 owners from feeling like idiots for not listening to Sony's bad PR.
He dicho.
Someone explain that cretinous line of reasoning please. How is Sony responsible for Sega adding or not adding online play? If other companies can manage it on the PS3 (Resistance has excellent online play) then why not Sega?
A company that lies to you, then rapes your ass once they've lured you into their house, then out of spite spits in your face afterwards then after all that they rob you while your laying violated on the ground crying does not sound like they produce an 'Awesome' system of any sort and certainly shouldn't be supported.
Its still new, so theres a chance it could be okay if they fix things. But it is a little scary.

Serves you right if you were stupid enough to buy one.
