The Golf Club 2 Features Trailer & Interview with Producer Shaun West

[Steve_OS]

GameInformer has posted a new developer trailer for The Golf Club 2, giving fans a glimpse of the revamped course creator, online competitions and more.

They have also posted an interview with producer, Shaun West, answering questions on Societies, new tempo swing, course creation, and much more.

How does the game handle bringing your offline Society online? Does the entire Society (clubhouse, etc.) go online, or is it just the money that transfers?

The only things that carry over from Career Mode to Societies are your earnings and any player customizations that have been purchased. The progression of a Society will evolve as it grows with members and more prestigious events.

When online Societies are playing against each other, in terms of matchmaking, does it matter if the Societies are of different member sizes or have more money in the bank?

When competing in Society vs Society there will be multiple leaderboards for each event. Depending on the number of members you have completing in that event, your Society will be grouped in a corresponding leaderboard. All Societies will be free to complete in any event that's being held, if they can meet the criteria set by the hosting Society.

Wow looks great. Awesome to hear our courses can be carried over from 1 into to 2.

I really forsee that Bushwood club subforum finally being bumped for the first time in years.

Looks the same as TGC

They have already come close to maxing out what a small studio can do graphically unfortunately.

It will nice to see Bushwood and hopefully all the old members and new return. I'm really looking forward to them adding tempo in the swing mechanic. Sounds great.

Did you not see the "Pre-Alpha Video" watermark all over the videos they showed? What you saw there looked the same as TGC because it is TGC, with the new tempo swing underneath it, which you won't be able to tell the difference in until you play it.

I don't know why they're authorizing the publication of promotional videos of the new game, when they aren't representative of the new game!? They've got new mo-capped animations, male and female, that will be paired with fully customizable created golfers, new lighting, new grass transitions, and more. I can't say for sure that they will look great, but it will have a considerably different look than what you see in this video.

Has far less to do with the size of the studio and far more to do with the engine they are using (Unity).....Unity 5.5 is a huge improvement over the engine that TGC1 was developed on and if they are smart, they will design TGC2 around Unity 5.5 with the intent that as soon as Unity 5.6 is out of beta, to update to that version.....
