Top Spin 4 Screen Shots, Videos and other details.

well....i think they are putting him in the game to appeal to americans....and he has a fun video game style of play...aggressive aggressive aggressive

well if thats the reason for blake being in the game id expect isner querrey and fish to be in the game instead (all top 25) in tennis games they usually just keep all the plyers in the previous games and add 5 or 6 more, even though ts3 is 3 years out of date!! this will be proved when blake is in the game and neither fish querrey or isner are

[Coolhand Texas]

blake is still more popular than fish, querrey, or isner. look at the support he got in NY

Like chederer a ton of Americans like Blake, myself included.

But in europe Blake is not that popukar, on top of that he isnt even good anymore, i say replace him with Fish

[Moralspain]

absolutely, Fish along Isner are now more popular than Blake in Europe,( for those who are into tennis btw)
i guess once again the xboxers won't be able to play with Rafa, any news on that?, i remember when Courrier asked him why he always plays as Roger when playing videogames hahahaha

I don't care about Rafa, I mean I like him, but I had both Version from TS3, I mean the PS3 and the Xbox 360 Version and ofcourse the PS3 Version had Rafa, but the 360 Version looked better and I bet my eggs that it will be the same with Top Spin 4. I won't buy both Versions this time and just like to buy the Xbox 360 Version. One Version is enough and multiplatformtitles alway look better on the 360.

I think in the early days of the PS3 THE Xbox had better games, but in last year or two the PS3 has edged it

the news that Top Spin 4 will be released is a real surprise for me. After PAM closed i thought we would have to wait for EA for the next tennis game (i am not counting virtua tennis).
So that is very good news! I absolutely love TS3 despite it's flaws, so i hope they keep the better and replace the bad.
Looking at the pictures it seems like the same game graphically... or maybe worse. Some pics are photoshoped so they look good but i saw 1-2 pics which looked ugly... now i am even wondering if it's the wii version. lol

I am sure they'll polish the missing details from TS3, but 2 things are worrying me: the roster and the gameplay.

The roster: of course it won't be up to date. Of course we'll get players like phillipoussis that don't have their place in such a small roster. That's bad. I am not sure about Nadal because everyone says he has contract with Sony but in the xbox360 version of Smash Court Tennis he was there, so there's still hope. It's lame to give any console exclusive characters. I know that Tennis is not like soccer, nhl, and the likes because you have to contact and find an arrangement with each player and not just get the atp license and have everybody. BUT... there're lots of very popular players that are not well ranked and that we would be happy to get. Don't tell me Gulbis, Gonzales, Almagro, Ferrer, Youzhny, Kohlschreiber, Stepanek, etc will ask for huge amount of cash to be represented in a game. I would prefer they spend the budget on 5 of these guys over one of the top 10 for the same price.
In the press release they say 25 pros, so that include women... My guess is 11 men, 9 women and 5 legends. BUT... I don't know if i read it correctly but it seems it is 25 pros + legends and upcoming talents. Here's the exact quote:

"The Deepest Player Roster Ever – Experience the best collection of tennis talent ever assembled as you now have the option to play with 25 of the world’s top pros, dozens of talented up-and-comers and some of the game’s most iconic legends"
so there's hope that we end up with more than expected. I pray that this is true and not a marketing punchline.

The gameplay: i love the gameplay of ts3 but it should be improved with faster response from the character and adjustment in stroke animations. I am confident for the latter but the core gameplay makes me worried when they say it is totally revamped. Why?! They made a great system that only needed improvements. I know it was unfortunate when you wanted to play with friends because casual gamers dont know how to play properly... but it is like real tennis. I dont mind playing with some friends who don't know to hit the ball correctly, but it's when i play experienced players that i have a blast. The game should be the same. It's a sim, we know it and we accpet it. We want it this way. Now if they make an option for simplified control for beginners, then we have the best of both world.

Oh and i really hope that this time when they'll release trailers and videos they'll get people who know how to play the game so we don't have the impression to see a simulation game of local level tennis.

Yeah I have to mention that I mean if one Game comes out for both Consoles it looks almost ever slightly better on the 360. I saw it with NHL 10 and with Top Spin 3 on my own TV. Both Consoles are connected per HDMI and the 360 Versions just look a lil bit better. That was a Problem in the whole Generation.

.

i agree

[kiensabeq]

There are 3 players I need in the game.

1. Elena Dementieva, I would also like accurate descriptions of her screaming at her Mum in Russian. Screaming Nyet after she makes dumb errors would be nice too.

2. Daniela Hantuchova, she needs shorts, really short shorts. That's all that matters.

3. Ana Ivanovic, I'd probably be too busy beating her continuously in matches to play with you guys.

For me Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, Carla suarez Navarro, Francesca Schiavone & Anna Kournikova

[Saarbrigga]

I have 2 questions to TS4:

1) Will it be possible to bring in a picture of oneself in the game for create a player? (this is possible in FIFA11 for example)

2) What s about clothes and tattoos? I have some tattoo s and it would be great if ther s more choice as in TS3 (there were just 4 motives for shoulder, 4 for forearm, and not much for the legs).

[fedfan]

I want to see some dowloadable content for this one as well so the latest threads are there

[Saarbrigga]

What s about net jumpers? ("Let!")?

[jayl0ve]

Net shots should be included, but they'd also need to be COMPLETELY RANDOM, otherwise people will figure out how to consistently hit the net and drop over, whenever they want, ala Virtua Tennis 3 and some people in Rockstar Table Tennis. Also though, having it be completely random seems a bit unfair, doesn't it?? I mean, imagine losing a match because the CPU decides that you need to hit this shot into the net. I think the fairest/most balanced solution is to probably not include net shots at all, now that I really think about it...

[VillaJ100]

That's true. On another topic, we should all congratulate jaylove on reaching a higher level of consciousness with the level of 7 STEFAN EDBERG.
