Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
I do not own Everybody's Golf, but I can say that is not the answer for me. At all. Especially being PS4 only.
TGC 2019 appears to creep closer to what I am looking for with licensed courses and I am going to speculate they may add a licensed PGA TOUR Golfer or two down the line as there appears to be some licensed content (NOT Pay to Win) in the game that might lead to licensed golfers in the near future.PC / Xbox One X

Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
Golf is a very personal sport. So to me, the inclusions of listened golfers is a non starter. I want to play golf as myself. The reason we play golf anyway is to beat ourselves. I don’t see any value in playing as Tiger, Phil or any other pro. I guess if I’m playing offline in a career mode then playing against them is something that I would do. But I can do that already with TG2. Listened courses would be nice, but again, we have some AMAZING designers in TG2 making all those courses already. Just take a look at the Augusta course! ( members).
TG2 has it all and TGC2019 will just make a great game even greater!Comment

Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
That might require an official PGA TOUR license to have that functionality "in-game". On top of that, it would require PGA TOUR Pros agree to it each individually as there is no PGA TOUR Players Union like the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL.....in other words, not likely to happen.PC / Xbox One X

The Golf Club 2Comment

I'm playing The Golf Club 2 regularly in Society tournaments mostly. I play three different Societies a week, including the HB Studios official Open to All Society. The tempo dependent swing interface gives the game a bit of depth that I currently find lacking in other analog swing interfaces. TGC 2 is very shallow in the online multiplayer department, but they're taking major steps to eliminate that in their forthcoming TGC 2019 game.
I own Everybody's Golf and play it occasionally, but its non real time, 3-click swing interface doesn't engage me that much and just simply feels outdated. This game seems like a step back from Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational on the PS3, which had a real time, meterless (for the power click anyway) 3-click interface that required the player to watch the golfer's swing for gauging the power. I found it to be a lot more engaging than the throwback 3-click meter we have now. It looks pretty good though, but honestly, not as much better than the PS3 version as I'd have imagined.
I had some hope for Perfect Golf 2 at one point on PC, XBox One, and PS4. Now I'm not holding out much hope for Perfect Golf 2 on anything other than the Trackman Simulator, now that Trackman has bought Perfect Parallel, PG's developer. It *may* come about on the PC someday, but not anytime soon. I'm confident we'll never see PG 2 on the consoles though. It's a shame because I think PG 2 held more promise for realism for non-simulator use, but it's not gonna happen.Last edited by OnlookerDelay; 03-12-2018, 04:31 PM.Duke Football?

Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
I would like for a game to be the more advanced version of Tiger Woods series with licensed content (courses & players), enhanced career mode. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour was way too limited in terms of modes and content but it had potential. I'm wary of TGC 19 as the developer (HB Studios) has already hinted about paid DLC for courses. I don't want to pay for the mainstream courses as I expect them to be either in the game or be added later on as a free DLC. I don't like the concept of paid DLCs as it sets a precedent for developers releasing a bare-boned game expecting to charge consumers for the stuff that should've already been there.Comment

Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
nice write up.
I personally believe that there are enough golf games for everyone's tastes.
my favorite golf game is still hot shots golf four. the game offers enough realism for my tastes. wind, weather etc all play a factor. the game settings for traditional and advanced swings are enough to keep the hard core sim gamers satisfied.
also the stat tracking is a nice little touch for game that is supposed to be light hearted and arcade y.
hole in ones, eagles etc are still hard to come by, reading the green is still challenging. I find it as challenging at times as some of the sim golf games.
its also a great game in group settings.Comment

Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
Hot Shots Golf: Fore was indeed a fine arcade golf game. I liked to mostly for its introduction of Advanced swings. It also did indeed work best in group settings, of any title in the Hot Shots golf series. It befuddles me how they can regress from this!?Duke Football?

Hi Alfie,
Nothing's been decided yet. Definitely appreciate the comments. We still have more content to announce for TGC 2019 which will be all part of the launch game, I don't think anyone will be disappointed.
Cheers.Comment

Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
Alan, when do you anticipate we'll be able to see a screenie, or better yet a video clip or two showing TGC 2019's implementation of SpeedTrees? I think that's when we're going to see a marked uptick in the buzz about the forthcoming game.Duke Football? Hell yes it's Duke Football! --- Coach CutcliffeComment

Hi John, I don't have a definite date. We ported all our custom code over to Unity 2018 first, and rolled it out to the team. Next up was SpeedTree integration and they have them now working well in the backgrounds, next step is obviously the foreground work. Once ready, though, we'll put out some new screens or vids, probably as part of the Dev Talk vid series which we're doing every week (which OS kindly published, thanks guys!).Comment

Re: What Is the Future of Golf Games? (Roundtable)
Alan: Will the real course recreations look very much like the real things?
I guess what I am asking is: Will you guys at HB be doing things to more fully recreate the real courses than is possible with the normal designer/tools that the average user will have access to?
Custom look/things for that course, etc?Comment
