Tennis World Tour

Tennis World Tour is a tennis sports game developed by Breakpoint Studio and published by Bigben Interactive for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. It has been released on May 22, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and the physical PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions in Australia and New Zealand, as well as the Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch versions, will be released on June 12, 2018.

The game was developed by Breakpoint Studio. It was published by French publisher, Bigben Interactive, who hurried it to market when it was only 20% complete. [6] Speaking to French publication, Le Monde, and translated by NintendoLife, BigBen founder, Alain Falc said the game was "only 20% completed a few weeks before its release" but needed to be released in order to capitalise on the French Open and avoid "losing the benefit of marketing campaigns already committed" and added that BigBen "put 500,000 pieces on the market but with many distributors who have no right of return, so we know that will be profitable".

Reception
The critical response to Tennis World Tour has ranged from highly negative to at best average. Critical Hit gave the game , saying "Tennis World Tour is an unpolished, unfinished simulation that’s impossible to recommend."Xbox Tavern was likewise sharp, writing "Tennis is a game of fluidity and precision, two things that Tennis World Tour, despite its decent career mode, fails miserably to realize."Game Informer was no more positive, writing "Even Pong had a reliability about it that this game lacks, and that was over 45 years ago," and giving the game The Last Word On Tennis website, meanwhile, was highly critical of the state that the game was launched in, saying that while future updates may well improve the experience, at launch "the game is a complete mess. It’s like an alpha version of the game," and gave the game French publication, Gameblog.fr, was also critical of the game claiming the heritage of Top Spin, saying "Claiming Top Spin's heritage probably put too much pressure on Breakpoint to begin with, even more so considering the studio's obvious resource limitations comparatively," and gave the game

The game shipped 500,000 units to market, which is not to say it sold that many at retail but, according to Bigben Interactive founder, Alain Falc, "many distributors who have no right of return, so we know that will be profitable."

Launch controversy
Tennis World Tour was advertised right up until release as having online multiplayer available in the game from launch. However, when the game launched, critics and players found that the "online multiplayer" component of the game was not present, and that a statement had been issued from the developer that it would be added in at a later date.[The company apologised for what the media described as a bait-and-switch by promising players online multiplayer throughout the pre-order window.

eSports
The French Tennis Federation hosted a Tennis World Tour eSports tournament in 2018, with the final staged at the Stade Roland-Garros during the French Open.

Tennis World Tour (Sport) von Bigben Interactive - Bildquelle: Bigben Interactive Gegenüber der französischen Zeitung "Le Monde" via jeuxvideo hat Alain Falc (Gründer von BigBen Interactive) über Tennis World Tour gesprochen und erklärt, dass die Entwicklung des Spiels erst "vor wenigen Wochen zu 20 Prozent" abgeschlossen war - was auch die mauen Features und fehlenden Modi erklären würde (zum Test). Laut seinen Ausführungen war es nicht möglich, die Veröffentlichung des Spiels zu verschieben. Neben laufenden "Marketing-Kampagnen" führte er an, dass das Spiel während der "French Open" (bis zum 10. Juni) erscheinen sollte, um maximal von diesem Turnier profitieren zu können.

Der Frontmann des Publishers verspricht, dass sie das Tennisspiel stetig verbessern und ergänzen wollen. "Eine verbesserte Version" soll zudem im Jahr 2019 erscheinen. Ob die Käufer der aktuellen Version ein kostenloses Update erhalten werden, ist unklar. Übrigens: Ein weiteres Tennis-World-Tour-Spiel für 2020-2021 ist bereits in Planung.

In dem Bericht steht weiter, dass Tennis World Tour die gesteckten Ziele auf finanzieller Ebene wohl erreichen sollte: "Wir haben 500.000 Stück auf den Markt gebracht, aber viele Händler haben kein Rückgaberecht und so wissen wir, dass wir die Nutznießer sein werden", erklärt Alain Falc. Trotzdem ist Falc überzeugt, dass sie ganz allgemein das Vertrauen der Spieler zurückzugewinnen werden und schätzt, dass sie mit ihren Spielen innerhalb weniger Jahre Wertungen im Bereich 80 von 100 einfahren werden.
