San Francisco, CA (February 6, 2007) - SEGA today announced that
Virtua Tennis 3 on the Xbox 360 will support 1080p graphics and a brand new

From SEGA:
"With the implementation of 1080p capabilities on the Xbox 360, players will
experience a new level of visual intensity and athletic drama played out on the
court through a wide range of varied and realistic animations and dynamic cloth
physics," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America,
Inc. "Virtua Tennis 3 is a must-have for fans and newcomers to the series due to
its great pick-up-and-play ability, life-like details, and incredible physics.
Now with unique Xbox Live play, Virtua Tennis 3 has once again pushed the
boundaries to redefine what a great multiplayer video game should be."
Supporting the highest digital video standard available, each of the 20
top-ranked tennis athletes featured in Virtua Tennis 3 appear even more
realistic and the court environments deliver a newfound richness in color and
texture. The increased levels of detail can be seen in the spectators and
backgrounds, and the smooth gameplay mechanics and movements of the players are
just as fluid as ever.
The online gameplay for Virtua Tennis 3 consists of a number of features set to
make the most of the Xbox Live network. Players can take part in Exhibition
games or Tournaments in both Singles and Doubles matches across the Live
network. The new VT:TV real-time spectator mode allows players to watch their
friends or other top-ranked players compete in tournaments, adding more strategy
when sizing up the next opponent.
"We're thrilled to be able to say that Virtua Tennis 3 will be coming to Xbox
360, showcasing an online experience with Xbox Live that you won't find on any
other systems and spectacular 1080p graphics," said George Peckham, general
