Sega Superstars Tennis Q&A

10:56 PM - March 14, 2008 by Steve_OS

Yesterday OperationSports was lucky enough to listen in on a conference call led by some of the developers working on Sega Superstars Tennis. In on the call were Producer Steve Lycett and Lead Designer Travis Ryan from Sheffield, UK-based Sumo Digital. Sumo Digital development studio has worked on a wide array of games, more pertinently, the studio has developed a few recent tennis videogames: the 360 and PSP versions of Virtua Tennis 3 and Virtua Tennis World Tour for the PSP.

Quote:


	"With this tennis game though, Sumo Digital is taking a bit of a different approach; they've veered a little more towards the casual gamer while developing SEGA Superstars Tennis and have thus tried to make the game more accessible for all gamers. They are not only trying to bring in a wider audience via gameplay design, but also by incorporating characters from other classic SEGA franchises such as the Sonic series, NiGHTS and Super Monkey Ball."
