Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Developer Colopl has announced VR Tennis Online for the PS4/PSVR. The game has a trailer and a release date – things which gamers usually are pretty positive towards – but it’s not looking good for the game already.
Over on the game’s YouTube trailer, fans of the company’s other games are in dismay. Why? Because this is a sports game, not a “girl game” featuring inappropriately dressed anime characters. Jeez…
At the time of writing the video has a massive amount of dislikes, though we can kind of see why, too. The trailer isn’t anything special and the game does look a little, er, crap? It’s not even immediately obvious how it’ll play in VR either.
VR Tennis Online will release in Japan on February 16th, though there’s no word yet on whether this one will invade the western world. Maybe that’s for the best?
For those of you wanting to know more about the game, you can read this stuff we’ve just pulled from the publisher’s website:
