Yeah, I follow your thinking here... seems like the next step this game will have to take to realize its original design goals. I don't know how much more efficient Unity 5 is than Unity 4, in terms of numbers though. I know that Perfect Golf is now using Unity 5 and its performance has dropped about 15% on my system. However, the Unity 5 version of Perfect Golf is also using SpeedTree technology, to deliver 3D trees, whereas the Unity 4 trees were not. Even with Unity 5, and SpeedTree, Perfect Golf still outperforms The Golf Club by an average of 20%, overall on my system.

It would be a bigger re-write for The Golf Club to integrate Unity 5 from what I'm reading, since its fully invested in DirectX 11; therefore, I don't think we'd see Unity 5 in The Golf Club until 'The Golf Club 2' comes along.

Noticed my XB1 was downloading an update for TGC this morning when I fired it up quickly.


I haven't played it in a while, the poor visuals on the XB1 ruin the experience for me, so needless to say I'm ready to get home (8 hours from now) and check it out to see if the 900p makes a noticeable difference for me. I'm hoping it does. Also, intrigued to check out the seasons mode as well.

Yes but the developer in this thread said that the 900p update was still in certification as of 6/4? Meaning not in this update?


Or am I misunderstanding?

It passed certification on the afternoon of the 4th. I don't think Anthony expected it that quick when he was posting yesterday morning.

Is there ever going to be a re-think of the short game?

The "lob" in TGC is the biggest cheat ever in a golf game. That should should NEVER be anywhere close to as easy as TGC makes it.

Also, the pop-up grid needs to go. At the very least there needs to be a cap on how much lofting/de-lofting you can even do to each club.

Yes it is, plus it includes cart paths and drops.
