Sega slams back with Virtua Tennis 3 [update 1]

Sega Virtua Tennis 3
Top Spin and Smash Court take note, the first king of the court is back in the draw. Sega has announced Virtua Tennis 3 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, set to arrive in Spring 2007. This will be Sega's first console entry in the series since the excellent Tennis 2K2 on the Dreamcast four years ago. Advanced career and player creation modes return, along with the popular mini-games.

And don't forget the next gen graphics. According to Sega creative director Matt Woodley, the graphics quality is "so sharp and clear you can even see the veins on the players necks!” So we've gone from the cloth physics and simulated sweat of NBA 2K6's Crisco-coated player models to vein-popping tennis players. Virtua Tennis 3 will be on display at Sega's E3 booth so you can see for yourself.

Update: Yes, it was Tennis 2K2, thanks for pointing this out!
