I really like the sound of this and have to commend them on trying to invent it. It's ambitious but looks like they are approaching it in a sensible way.

Their choice of starting sports does seem a bit odd though (although I don't blame them going for tennis), and it's going to make or break depending on how playable they are. I'm a little surprised they're using mouse and keyboard for them too - what's to stop them switching to a gamepad for tennis, for example.

Hopefully this all comes together and is successful for them. Otherwise someone like EA Sports could try to buy it up and integrate their existing Fifa, Cricket, etc. titles as the sports inside the world.

Was talking to a French mate today seeing if he'd heard of this.

Well it's in Paris.

Thought the sports were a bit odd.
But he told me that jeauxonline.info put an article up about them working on footie.

Football will be a big draw for the game, I hope they put it in sooner rather than later.
