Tennis pros, Adam Hassan & Matt Golledge dive into the virtual world of C-Smash VRS
RapidEyeMovers have teamed up with two professional tennis players, taking them off the courts and switching their rackets for controllers as they are let loose in the virtual world of C-Smash VRS.
Having both been world no 1 ‘touchtennis’ players in singles and doubles, this latest video is the second in a series of videos that shines a spotlight on emerging and rising sports stars. Filmed at the Bourne Club in Surrey, it focuses on just two of the unsung heroes of the racket sporting world - RapidEyeMovers also recently teamed up with Commonwealth Gold Medalist England no 1 and World no 7 Squash talent Gina Kennedy and you can watch that video here.
Perfectly mixing the digital universe with the physical real world, C-Smash VRS, which is a reimagining of the SEGA and arcade classic, Cosmic Smash, combines slick, minimalist sport fun with timeless action puzzle gameplay.
With mind-bending trick shots, stunning cinematic visuals, pulsating beats, powerful smashes and dozens of levels and puzzles to enjoy, C-Smash VRS will be launching on 23rd June.
