I wonder how much room the courses will take up on the hard drive. I know rosters for my BB games use almost no space.

Yea, I'm really down on the fact that there is no sort of offline mode but will still buy to support the cause and hope for the future.

Bro - you just need to jump in with us and play a round, or join our tour -

They take up almost no space at all. You would have to go crazy with courses to even make the smallest dent in the HDD -

I'll try to ease your pain a little bit by couching my praise of the game with how much more I think I'd be enjoying it if it was in 1080p

Guys, I'm very interested in this game but I don't know much about the specifics. I know you can create your own courses but what are the gameplay options? Is it possible to a play a round with a buddy who is on the couch beside you or is it online only? Also is this game purchased through Sonys online store or will it be available at retailers?

I recently made the switch from Xbox to Playstation so I'm not familiar with purchasing games from the Sony store. On Xbox I used to use Microsoft Points (which I purchased at a local store, since I do not have a credit card) to buy from Xbox Live. Does Sony have the same function where I can purchase some online currency from a local shop or do I need to submit credit card information in order to purchase from Sonys online store

You can buy psn cards from retailers that have a voucher code you enter into psn to get credit to spend in the store. Dollar for dollar exchange rate.

You can use paypal if you don't trust Sony with your credit card info (I don't)

I'd be really interested to see the game on both consoles side by side to really see if there is much of a difference. I know that inherently there is definitely a difference but whether there's enough for the naked eye to really care about? I'm guessing that the difference will be slight at best.

Just to clarify, as of now, this game will only work using the controller, so basically doing your swing with the analog stick on your PS4/Xbox controller, right? No Kinect/PS Camera yet?

I haven't done much research, but I loved playing golf games on the Wii versus using an Xbox controller.

Kinect & Move are not in the plans at this time.

I experimented with this by connecting my gaming PC to my 55" HDTV, to which my consoles are connected in my rec room. With no AA and 4X AF, I ran The Golf Club to this set at 720, 900, and 1080p. I could easily spot the difference between even 720 and 900p, so it was no contest going from 720 to 1080p. I'd say I could see the difference from as far away as maybe 9 to 10 feet, but I sit about 7 feet away when I game and I have no question as to which one looks sharper.

What we still don't know yet (and I can't get HBS to answer this question) is what level of antialiasing and anisotropic filtering the XB1 version of TGC is using. That will have a significant effect on the image quality. In my experiment, I went to where I hope HBS may have put the the AA (4x msaa) and also the AF to 8X (although it's not a stretch to think they might go 16X here). With 4x msaa, it was a lot tougher to spot the difference between the two resolutions, even at seven feet.

The fact that HBS *seems* to be reluctant to answer my repeated questions about this suggests to me that we'll probably see something less than 4x msaa, and possibly no AA at all. I'll know tomorrow though, as I'm going to do some A/B comparisons between the PC and XB1 versions on the same HDTV set to the same res on the first tee at the same course. I'll find the filter and conditioning levels on the PC that best match what I'm seeing on the XB1 and report what they are.
