Under the Table of Rockstar's Table Tennis 37
Joystiq has a post up taking a look at the extremely out-of-character title coming up from Rockstar. For better or worse, Rockstar's Table Tennis is the real deal. From the article: "If you're a ping pong addict, this is another opportunity for you to deepen your involvement with a hobby you already love. This game will satisfy you because -- at least to this ping pong amateur and the two legit ping pong players I brought along with me -- it feels authentic. That authenticity comes from Rockstar choice to embrace realism rather than a stylized or simplified arcade style. The company calling Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis the "first true sports simulation title" that they've ever done. "

Hmmm. In GTA, the girls would invite you inside for "Hot Coffee". The hot coffee mod was so named because it unlocked some shoddy sex scenes with said women. Now, I am sure you already know this. I was just establishing a bit of background info to say:
I don't think a woman would invite you into her house for a cold beer.
Yeah, it would surely be a man inviting your guy inside for a cold beer, and I don't want to see that...

Isn't it a lot more believable that ping pong is an unlockable minigame in the 360 version of Bully? And this is their way of building buzz?
Maybe that was the original idea, and somewhere along the way Rockstar realized they'd get an even bigger laugh out of making the joke a reality.

There has to be atleast some? Stab the opponent with a racket after losing? No?
Well, it may not be violence, but if you're using a racket, you're already cheating. :)
Please port this to the Revolution (Score:4, Insightful)
Current consoles try to emulate this with button combinations (A for lob, B for slice, up for topspin, etc, in tennis games). However, the Revolution controller would be ideal for this game. Imagine using the remote to slice the ball while you control the position of the player with the joystick dongle. I'd buy it, as it takes up a lot less space than a traditional ping pong table yet gives you almost the same experience.

I'm not trolling. Who here has tried the Revo's controllers? It may be suited for this kind of game, but then again, it might not.
