First Person Tennis - The Real Tennis Simulator VR
Update 2:
I have not owned a VR headset for over a year, so I can’t keep track of the game. The developer does seem active with the community.
If you like tennis, you should support it because as far as I know there are no other VR tennis games that are better.
Update:
After having a chat with the developer, I still can’t recommend the game, but there are some points that are important:
- It’s a hobby project, not created to make money and that’s fantastic. The developer him/herself is a professional tennis player.

I am playing this with Oculus 2, from steam running on msi laptop with ndvia rtx2060, and wifi connection with honor 6 plus rooter. The game runs smoothly. Initially I had weaker rooter and wifi issues were creating the lag but after replacing it to honor it is fine.
The game is definitely fun! It is realistic in the sense that it definitely engages body into moves requiring some basic tennis fundamentals. It also provides good environment to observe ones own execution of the strikes e.g. serve, forehand, backhand … during training with tennis machine, training match or on tour. This is quite fun because the pressure is only created by me and whatever I do works only for feedback (feel of the game or scores). I started to play this at the end of winter with the arcade mode and automatic running, which was fun especially when beating players on tour but too forgiving and it ruined my real life serve and backhand. The ball hit the net constantly when I returned to courts. Due to muscle memory vr it took me a couple of real world training sessions and games to get it back to normal. During summer I did not play this at all as there was plenty of opportunities to play outdoors either the tennis ball machine or with friends. In Finland the summer is over now and I tried the vr game again today, in simulation mode and automatic running. In this vr setting I was pretty bad but if I relax and try to apply right fundamentals into the strikes then its getting better…. I consider this a good sign and I am curios what effect vr tennis simulator would have on my technique now. Let see after playing real tennis with friends. Unfortunately I have limited space usually 2x3m, max 3x4m, so I haven’t tried the real tennis court scale running. Though I am glad there is this option and I look forward to try that soon. In summary, I recommend the tennis simulator because it is definitely fun, reasonably realistic and gives moderate workout. Although it requires quite an investment if you need to buy good gaming pc … On the other hand it serves as an alternative workout without need to pay for indoor tennis courts. From my experience this tennis simulator with possibility to play it in vr is definitely more fun than vr boxing or dancing.

The game has alot of potential, this game requires practice to become better and better over 2 hours I have managed to beat amature and aim to beat sem-pro soon. Freeplay is good for practice with best of 3/5 being the most fun as long as this game gets continuious development it could be the best tennis game out there for now its good fun for £5

No realism in the physics, raquet is at an angle making it more difficult, doesnt let you move so when the ball comes to you and its short there is no way to get to it

#SelfieTennis
It is very difficult to describe this game in English words…
Why you ask?
You’re a selfie taking unicorn on a floating tennis court in the middle of the sky, with randomly appearing creatures with tennis balls for heads, and clouds for sportswear. When you kill them, they turn into hearts. Kill those hearts, and they turn into more hearts. You can then kill those new hearts to earn some unlockables. Meanwhile, while all this is going on, you play tennis…by yourself!
I know that’s a lot to take in, but below you will find my more in depth review:

If you like pointless, and obscure, fun. I reckon you’ll like this.
Updated April 2020:
I still sometimes go back to this game even after a couple of years. There’s something relaxingly satisfying about it.
I do still wish the devs would find a solution for a ‘fast’ swing passing through the ball. It’s definitely possible to solve, but in the current state you just have to get used to it.
My last comment (and I really do hate myself for saying this), I think the game would be amazing with a friend. I know, I know… I just do. Having 2 (or even 4) people in a game I think would actually be quite fun. Tennis, but not taken too serious. Like being a kid again.

Unlikely killer-app and true “eSports”

I like table tennis in RL. If you don’t, this game may not be for you.
Before buying this game, I tried VR Sports Challenge from the Touch pre-order bonus. This was fun for 1-2 hours, but never felt like real sports. My expectation when buying Eleven Table Tennis: just another tech demo with unintuitive controls and assists that make every shot magically hit the target.

Real-life competitive player here. This truly blew away my expectations - the physics are so much better than I was expecting, and from interactions on discord, I can tell you the lead dev really cares about every bit of minutiae which may affect the realism.
Takes a while to get the settings sorted (but it’s the same IRL when planning to buy a bat), and once you do, it’s incredible how immersed you feel - to the point where I play with my table tennis shoes and shift my weight and move my feet like IRL.

Excellent table tennis game.
When I first saw the option for Arcade or Simulation I immediately chose Simulation, because…pfff Arcade is for kids isnt it? After I gained a little confidence I chose an online match and the opponent seemed to insist on Arcade, so fiiiine; what a blast though! (almost a pun), the Arcade mode strikes a nice balance between (as my son put it) ‘making you feel like a badass’ and not being boringly easy, you can and will make mistakes, but the spins are more pronounced and the accuracy is aided.

All-In-One Sports VR
This VR sports game has a nice assortment of 10 sports games for the price of 1. When I first started the game, it had a nice fun game assortment of options to chose from. I’ve played each sports game with various different opinions on each one.
1.Archery: This sport is nice and relaxing just requires you to aim towards the target. Like that’s they’re other factors that could cause you to be less accurate on shots. Requires more skill to actually aim towards the target.
2.Billard: This is a fun and relaxing game. I like that there’s an indication to telling if you going to hit one of the balls or the direction of where the ball could land. All in all good, but make it so when you’re viewing your opponent’s turn you can move easier around the table.

Ok so. i have almost all of the standalone appnori games. They were always pretty good but this is probably the one you want to get now that it has a ridiculous amount more content.
Only downsides is the artstyle here is more Chibi so some events everything is super sized.
I think there’s a lot of content if you’re into only scoreboard or just beating the AI. Haven’t tried multiplayer.
In general all of the sports “work” there’s no control issues. Controls are really polished it’s just on the arcade side. So some sports like golf there are way better more realistic golf games out there.

Tennis Kings VR
How a fking stupid game!!It’s the worst game i played!!!It’s not a game we should just call this trash!!!
– Real player with 4.5 hrs in game
More Appnori greatness. :) The greatness in this game doesn’t really shine until you find yourself playing against the Terminator robot with a stop sign as your racket. That being said the game isn’t without it’s flaws. The AI is too easy. I beat all 5 AI opponents in one hour.
You can put a ridiculous amount of spin on the ball, and the killer feature is the signature Appnori bullet time where you ram it down their throat just at the right moment. If I’m gonna pick any tennis game to play casually it would probably be this one just for the bullet time feature.
