 Description / Fact Sheet

  • Rockstar's goal was to create a game that is perfectly addictive in its focused simplicity, a game that showcases the true possibilities of a next gen experience, not just in looks but also in feel and pace.
  • By using the power of the new Xbox 360 hardware and the resolution of new televisions, Table Tennis has an immediacy, an intensity, and a sense of physicality and reality, resulting in a purer, more visceral experience that simply was not previously possible.
  • Table Tennis is a distillation of game design philosophy, focusing on removing the traditional areas of compromise inherent in managing size and scope and concentrating the hardware's entire power on one activity, with the aim of doing that better than it's ever been done before.
  • Rockstar Games first true sports simulation title.
  • Developed by Rockstar San Diego, the studio that brought you Midnight Club and Red Dead Revolver .
  • The intensity and speed of a fighting game, wrapped in a tight gameplay mechanic that offers a highly unique experience.
  • Table Tennis utilizes R.A.G.E., the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine.
  • Characters you saw included: Mark from England , Liu Ping from China and Luc from France . Arenas you saw included: Liberty Northside Prep in the US , National Table Tennis Auditorium in China and Saint Nazaire Coliseum in France .
