Matchpoint: Tennis Championships – -apkrig

While the tennis world is dealing with the case of Novak Djokovic, his vaccinations and expulsion from the Australian Open, Australians have prepared another sports surprise. The digital courts are generally empty due to the longer absence of the Virtua Tennis and Top Spin series, which the Torus Games studio would like to change with the newly announced Matchpoint: Tennis Championships.

The creators of their virtual tennis include realistic animations, intelligent positioning of opponents and authentic ball physics. You can judge how well they are fulfilling these visions from the trailer above.

“Professional tennis players never stop,” said Development Manager David McIntosh of GamesRadar. “They’re still on the move no matter what the ball does. We tried to replicate their small movements, including various steps. We could actually work on animations for ten years, but we had to make trade-offs between realistic movements and response. ”

Similarly, McIntosh became enraged about the physics of the balls, which takes into account various physical quantities, including air pressure. He is supposed to behave differently on clay than on grass, and even operates within the engine with the Magnus effect. “We cared a lot about the physics of the ball, because anyone who understands tennis knows at first glance that something is wrong with it,” explains McIntosh.

However, the list of real players will be relatively modest when released, with only sixteen tennis players for starters. You won’t find Djokovic among them, but world tennis number two Daniil Medvedev will. The cover of the game will be decorated by Australian Nick Kyrgios, from the men’s tennis players in the game you will also find Andrej Rubljov, Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz, Benoit Pair, Hugo Gaston, Carlos Alcaraz, Pablo Carren Bust, Taylor Fritz and Keie Nishikori.

The creators attracted even less women to Matchpoint, the starting line-up is represented by five Heather Watson, Madsion Keys, Amanda Anisimova, Garbiñe Muguruza and Victoria Azarenka. You would look in vain for a Czech representation with well-known names in the game, over ninety percent of players from more than five hundred players will be completely fictitious due to licensing.

You will be able to play in 65 tournaments on six continents, through which you will be able to unlock a lot of cosmetic improvements and attributes affecting gameplay. Torus Games has partnered with Nike, Uniqlo or Head, so you can look forward to branded clothing, sneakers and accessories.

Matchpoint: Tennis Championships will be released in the spring of 2022 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
