Re: TW10 for Wii News

Any chance you know something we don't about this possibility?

Yes, but I am under NDA at this time....sorry.

Re: TW10 for Wii News

Apparently there's going to be a true 1:1 motion sensitive controller (called the Sixense) released by the end of the year for PC. It was already controlling TW08 earlier this year at the CES. The head of Sixense recently revealed that the company is working with Electronic Arts to have support for the controller built directly into upcoming EA games.

Yesrushdt,

I have seen the info, but I am skeptical about them working directly with EA. I hope you and the head of the company are correct, but I don't see this making the kind of splash that a console motion controller like the Wiimote would make because PC screens are typically much smaller and the space around PC's much more confining that that of HDTV's and entertainment areas of the home. Again, I hope I am wrong, but would love for my skepticism to be unfounded because if it does come to fruition, I will buy one to play TW PC on my 28" Viewsonic 1080p monitor....

Re: TW10 for Wii News

This is going to be a hard choice for me, do I go for the graphically strong PS3 version or do I go with the golf simulator version for the Wii? Decisions, decisions...

If you're really into video golf then I would get both, that's what I'm probably doing. The Wii version to me would be more of a party game you play with your buddies (although it would still be a blast playing alone, online I'm not so sure about since those friends codes are annoying and I don't know anybody else with a Wii who would play this with me) kinda like a TW version of Wii bowling. The PS3 version would get more of my online time and the tour mode will probably be more comprehensive. They are technically the same game but really 2 different kinds of enjoyment so I consider it 2 different games. It's like playing 2 FPS, same game but really different. I know it might be expensive to buy 2 console versions of one franchise but I've spent money on alot worse games.

My problem is with the UFC game coming out in a few weeks and Fight Night 4 on June 30 when the hell am I gonna find the time to play all these games all at once especially during the summer.

Most of the plasma/LCD HDTVs out nowadays have HDMI and PC inputs. I'm sure there are many people like myself that have their PCs hooked up to a living room flat panel. I've been doing all of my PC gaming on a 50" HDTV for the last several years and love it.

Here's the guy from Sixense demoing the controller on a number of EA games. You probably saw it a couple months ago when I posted it at the Tiger forum.

You do know that I specifically bolded the part about a motion sensor for the ps3/360, right?

Also does your NDA keep you from saying whether or not the Wii version, with the motion sensor, plays very competitively and simulation-like as opposed to an easier version but just fun to play with? Basically the Wii has my ears perked (so does your possible comment about the other controllers but I will wait until your NDA is lifted to see if there is any news on that) because of the simulation aspect. I don't have a Wii but have always thought maybe the games were easier or dumbed down a little because of the demographic that plays it (no knock on anyone here but I am sure the demo is younger than ps3/360).

1. Yes. Still can't comment on it. However, I don't want you to get the impression that anything is imminent as far as a PS3 or 360 motion controller.

2. From the limited time I had with the game, the swing was incredible and gave the sense of a true Golf swing in many ways.it also appears they have given users a number of options to increase or decrease the swing challenge. One hour with the Wii version has pretty much convinced me to get a Wii just for TW10. I think it will be a nice diversion from the 360 version from a swing perspective. Hope it doesn't hurt my eyes, especially if I play the Wii version after the 360 version....

Exactly the answers I was hoping for. No, I won't take you saying nothing as meaning anything because, well, how could I if you didn't say anything? I was just curious if you noticed the bold when you responded...kind of a clarification thing.

And as far as the Wii version, that sounds awesome. Very happy to hear that and I will most likely buy a Wii as well, just for TW10. I mean heck, I bought a ps3 JUST for the The Show so why not?

You sound like me....boys who have to have their toys....:wink:

Re: TW10 for Wii News

My girlfriend bought a Wii and with this game I will actually turn it on for the first time in nearly a year.

Hopefully it still works

Yeah I admit to being the worst when it comes to man/boy toys and gadgets. About the only thing I haven't ventured into yet is an iPhone or Blackberry. Seems like just about anything else I just have to have and unfortunately more often than not it doesn't get used as often as it should. It is only compounded by the fact that I'm not rich, wealthy, well off, or even living comfortably. But if I have my mind set on something, I usually won't let up until I get it.

But hey, I like my toys.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 to Arrive in Stores Bundled with Wii MotionPlus

Divot: I doubt they have this but does the game on the Wii recognize the different trajectories for each club? Or at least between woods and irons?

Basically do you have to hold the controller angled out more for woods since they are longer clubs?

Re: TW10 for Wii News

[quote=PhantomPain;2039455146]That blog alone is almost making me go out and buy a Wii. In fact, if the game is that good with the Wii, in a golf simulation kind of way, then I will buy the Wii just for this game.quote]

I am doing the same- dearly love my 360, but this is too good to pass up. Used to play TW08 on the kids Wii, and thought it was great. Now that they are gone (with the wii), I will have to go buy one just to play TW10, which, with the new 1:1 controller, looks to be simply insane!

Preordered it- gotta go buy the dang wii now!

Re: TW10 for Wii News

Yep just watched the IGN videos and since the producer was a lefty it makes me more excited about the game since I'm a lefty myself. I just hope I can use a lefty custom player for most modes since playing the history mode will tweek me a bit(lefty trying to play as a righty is visually annoying)

EA just announced that the game will ship 1 week earlier (along with Grand Slam Tennis). Not sure if this applies only for the wii or for all systems, but to me it seemed like it was only for the wii version.

All Games have been moved up a week according to a TW producer's Twitter.
