Sometimes, the questions are better than the answers. Game site UK:RESISTANCE recently corned Steve Lycett and Toby Allen from Sumo Digital, the developer of the Xbox 360 and the PSP versions of Virtua Tennis 3. UK:R's Commander Zorg dishes out doozies like, "Can you say something controversial, so we can make it the headline and get loads of traffic from Digg? Say something like 'PS3 isn't as good as Xbox 360' or 'Wii is just a Gamecube with a rubbish controller'." Love it! Other stand out exchanges:

From a technical point of view, how do you make graphics go on a TV screen?

Inside each console is a sausage mincer that takes the raw graphics, then minces them up to go down the cable to the screen. This is why some cables are better than others. Take composite, it's only got the one video tube, about as thick as a chipolata. This is why the picture on composite is all greasy and smeared. We recommend using a good quality component cable, which allows us to deliver a nice red Cumberland, green Lincolnshire and blue traditional Banger, giving overall a much meatier picture.

Can you adjust chest sizes in the character creation menu?

Of course we can, we'll probably lock it out of the final game though.

Wouldn't it be great if Sony closed and SEGA made a new console? Say, for Christmas 2007? It would be about five times as powerful as Xbox 360 and would launch with just Space Channel 5 Part 3!

But if Sony shut, there'd be no PS3 to play Sudoku on! We would of course welcome a new Sega console like a brother we never knew we had. So long as they weren't ginger.

Isn't it sad what's happened to Sonic The Hedgehog recently?

Don't tell me that was Sonic I hit on the way home from the pub. I just thought it was a blue haired punk juggling some rings. Sorry mate.

Bravo for Sumo Digital being good sports and actually answering most of these probing questions. Closing note: UK:R's Commander Zorg is a simple man. All he wants is ten Diggs and a Kotaku link, so that he shall get. Onward! Brian Ashcraft
