    Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions



    I had a chance to check out Pure Pool at E3 2014, and it looks to provide a slick game of billiards for PC, Xbox One and PS4. It certainly seems like it won't be lacking for features either, as it's got all sorts of career options, challenges, online hooks and even downloadable profiles (much like Forza 5's “drivatars”). The game comes from VooFoo Studios, developers of Hustle Kings, as well as publisher Ripstone.

        Re: Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions

        outside of Golf Club, this has been the my most anticipated game this summer.
        I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

          I'll be purchasing Day 1. If enough people have it, I wouldn't mind running a little league.

                I read they are trying to keep a 10 buck price point, other than that can't find any other info on it

                    I was expecting to see this in the store today, but I guess the article did say that it releases on the 30th in North America. I'll say one thing though, the company that makes this game has horrible marketing. You can hardly find anything about it on the internet. When Pure Chess came out it was the same thing. They never even gave a release date, it just happened to show up one day.

                      This tweet from the official Playstation account says it will be available today:

                      <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Pure Pool coming to PS4 today with 40+ hours of single-player career gameplay: <a href="http://t.co/uQVxLClBqq">http://t.co/uQVxLClBqq</a> <a href="http://t.co/0ATcqnw4AG">pic.twitter.com/0ATcqnw4AG</a></p>&mdash; PlayStation (@PlayStation) <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayStation/statuses/494113611061923840">July 29, 2014</a></blockquote>

                      I'll definitely be downloading it when it's available. I spent untold hours playing random people in Yahoo! Pool when I was in high school, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this much more realistic version.

                        Thanks, Spencer. I was a Yahoo Pool guy back in the day too, lol. I was never really all that great in it, or in real life pool, but I enjoy playing.

                          Can't wait to check out this gm. I agree the marketing of this gm is very poor. Should be on PS store on the 30th, finally! Been waiting for this release for couple months now.

                          Correction, from post above. Should be out today! Even better

                            The PlayStation blog posted above mentioned a $10 price point.

                            Edit: However, it is up now in the PS4 store with a $12.99 price. Maybe the PS+ discount isn't showing up in the system yet?

                              It shows up as $9.09 when you put it in the cart with the PS+ discount.
