SEGA has revealed that the PlayStation 3 version of Virtua Tennis 3 will support the Sixaxis' tilt function to move around the court and play shots.
It's an option, obviously, but if you turn it on you'll discover you're able to move the player around the court by tilting the pad.
Not only that, but apparently you'll be able to serve the ball and play shots using the controller like a tennis racket - swinging up quickly to lob, down quickly to slice, and horizontally for top spin.
Not quite the same as Wii Sports Tennis, then, but certainly enough to invite comparisons.
Otherwise Virtua Tennis 3 is expected to ape in many respects the arcade version, and is also due out on Xbox 360, PC and PSP next spring.
