Okay! Looks like someone announced the project I’m working on and didn’t tell me. In any event, now I can talk about it!
The project I’m working on is…
Brace yourselves…
Hang on to your hats…
Top Spin 2 for the PC! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Hey! I heard that sniggering! Top Spin 2 is actually a great game. It’s by far the most accurate tennis simulation ever devised, and it’s (usually) fun to play.
As a result of working on this game, I now know far more about tennis than is normal for a human male who is not a tennis player. For instance…
1. You are your own worst enemy. Most of the points your opponent scores will be off of your mistakes, not because of brilliant play by him. So make fewer mistakes than your opponent.
2. If you’re running all over the court and your opponent is just standing there, you’re losing.
3. Winning on your own serve means nothing. You are only better than your opponent if you can win on his serve.
Top Spin 2 is a great game and I think the PC version is going to be just as good as the 360 version was. And the great thing is, the odds of this game not shipping? Zero! I will finally get to ship a game!
