Re: Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf Available Now on Steam, Soon For Consoles

Managed -11 for 4 rounds on RTS TOUR Pro. Had over 20 birdies and 4-5 eagles, but those subtle nuances of the course kept lulling me to sleep and a bogey or double would bite me at the most inopportune time.

Going to play the JNPG PGA TOUR rounds today and tomorrow.....hoping to stay focused and really take what the course gives me and not try to take what isn't there.....that is the key with Muirfield....easily my favorite course in JNPG to date....

-11 in RTS Tour Pro is outstanding! I wound up -4 for the tournament in Amateur difficulty. I 4-putted the 72nd hole from 6 feet for a double bogey... it was a very sour way to close it out, but that's golf!

I do that all the time and it is frustrating, but I am learning to "take bogey out of play".....

An interesting article about Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf appeared yesterday in Polygon. It answers a lot of questions about Perfect Parallel's business model, and why the PC/Console game itself isn't necessarily the company's bread and butter... worth a read for sure, as it will help explain PP's unconventional MO for marketing this game.

A good article but I'm surprised no confirmation on a PS4 version or any talk of improvements to the golfer animations.

Yeah, the statement about it in the article "PlayStation 4 is hoped for, too, but still in the discussion phase." wasn't as affirmative a stance as to the status of the PS4 version as I'd hoped. I thought they already had their Playstation SDK?

Interview likely took place before they got their PS4 SDK....

Could have, although when I went back and read Andrew Jones last comment on this in the official forum, here's where it stood (and this is as of May 10th):

Your application to join the PlayStation Partners program for your entity has been submitted.

Below are the next steps in the registration process:

1. Wait until you receive an e-mail confirming that your application has been accepted
2. Using the instructions in the email, login and accept the PlayStation Global Developer & Publisher Agreement
3. Submit your bank account information

In due course, you will receive access to SIE development and publishing websites, SDKs and information via email to guide you through the development and publishing of your game on PlayStation.
Please note there may be delays during periods when there is a high volume of applications to process. SIE will contact you via email once your application has been processed.

The way this reads, the application process could still be ongoing and PP may not actually have an SDK yet. Maybe Bob can speak to this?

Unless something has changed over the last 48 hours, we are still waiting for approval. As soon as we have final approval we will notify the community, trust me.

Okay, thanks very much for that information.

Re: Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf Available Now on Steam, Soon For Consoles

The latest patch (1.4.0.6) for Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf has been released and it's a nice one. The biggest item for me is that it cleaned up the mesh problems that was causing the cups to stick up out of the ground at Lost Tracks, Clay Hill Estates, and others. It also has somehow resulted in some performance improvements on my system. One of the features added in this patch is an auto-update feature for courses. The program will reportedly check to see if you have the latest revision of a particular user made course, and if it sees that you don’t, it will automatically download and update it for you. I didn’t get to read all the patch notes in detail to speak more intelligently about this, but maybe Bob can weigh in here and detail it a bit more?

I know one thing, there will be a lot of pressure off of me to not be able to crash games anymore by hitting the “Concede” button… that reportedly got fixed. I had crashed an alt-shot team match two days ago when my team was down 2 holes with 4 holes left to go. Needless to say, I wasn’t a popular guy after this happened!

Re: Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf Available Now on Steam, Soon For Consoles

The "Auto Course Update" feature I mentioned above apparently hasn't been implemented yet. I'm gathering now that its release is imminent? I got a chance to play 9 holes at Castle Heights CC last night and it might be DoGgzbollox's best course to date. The textures are incredibly realistic and it's a very interesting and challenging track... don't miss it.

I don't know to what this should be attributed, but there's something about this update that has made the game feel a lot more cohesive in its performance and presentation quality. You have to experience for yourself to fully appreciate it!

Bob, where will the Perfect Parallel booth be located at E3?

LOL - we actually kicked the idea around, but it would have been too much to throw together in such a short period. The game was shown at Muirfield Village, on a simulator, and the reaction and feedback was tremendous. I believe over 750 people stopped by our booth to play it, which is great.

Were there any videos published of people playing the game on the simulator during the Memorial? That's a lot of people to run through a simulator... good publicity, not only from them but probably also from the spectators passing by.

Is there a demo? I'm not able to find one.
