Sega serves an update for Virtua Tennis 3

As if having model/player Sharapova in the line-up wasn’t enough, Sega‘s made another announcement to up the ante for their Virtua Tennis 3 title, slated for release on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

The Xbox Live scene will include Ranked and Friendly modes, with players (both single and double) able to enter either Tournaments or Exhibition matches. And to make things even more interesting, Sega also makes mention of the game’s VT:TV Live spectator mode, which allows players on XBL to view high-ranking matches taking place – imagine ESPN gone 360.

Sega will be carrying native 1080p graphics – a first for the Virtua Tennis franchise. The company further announced (to Gamasutra) that the 1080p resolution can also be expected of the PS3 launch, though this port would not be featuring online play in lieu of its SIXAXIS tilt-motion support. According to a Sega spokesman, the move was done in order to ensure both versions of the game carried their own unique features. And speaking of the 360 version’s 1080p res, we offer up a volley of screenshots for you to see if it truly makes a difference. Enjoy.
