IncGamers can exclusively reveal that EA are working on a next generation version of Grand Slam Tennis, which will be out later this year.
Speaking to IncGamers, David McCarthy, vice president and executive producer at EA Sports said that the title is already in the works.
Andy Robertson writes "Grand Slam Tennis 2 brings tennis to PlayStation Move but ends up being jack of all controllers and master of none. Great fun for families but for grownups more promise of things to come than a fully fleshed out motion experience. I suspect Grand Slam Tennis on Wii U will be the de facto version."
Join us for the live EA Sports presentation from 11am AEDT Friday the 19th.
The biggest test for this approach is how well the more hardcore audience on the PlayStation 3 (and Xbox 360) will take to Grand Slam Tennis 2. It maybe that motion controls are less important here. Perhaps testament to this is the inclusion of some (also quite interesting) Skate style “flick-it” racket controls where the right stick is used to control your swing.
After playing on the Wii, I'll never play a tennis game with sticks again. That is OLD! Has to be motion controlled for moi.
This should be amazing. New control systems too?
Wonder how it's going to control, considering the Wii MotionPlus seems to be the big draw for this one.
Pfft, to use a real racket just go outside!
