The Golf Club (PS4/XB1)

The game is different. It's not the greatest graphically but at the same time it is pretty good. As far gameplay it's just straight up what you think a golf game would be. I think the coolest part about it is the course generator. The amount of course are endless.


I will dig into a little bit more today to check out the options.

Here is a good video. He is playing ghost guys but you can play alone too.
As far as graphical options, you choose when the game starts.
The game is all about feel. You don't get meters or anything, you just play.

You'll see trees popping in and stuff. Remember, he is on a laptop. I did have one instance of it bogging down my PC. Its the first game to ever do that but its also not optimized and it is an early access release.

I'll post a video of a hole or two in awhile.


I hope they make it so you can turn that ball trail off. That is really the only thing I don't like and I don't see a way to turn it off (yet)

what i think a golf game would be is tiger woods. how is it different or straight up?

graphics in that video dont look bad...i see a meter on the right.

 

[Garrett67]

When you swing, you just swing. There isn't a meter, it seems to be based on how hard you push the stick forward and how straight. Which I suppose is like TW but you have no feedback other than when after you swing. Didn't TW have a meter as you were swinging the club?

Remember, this game probably has 6 months before its done, so keep that in mind. The gem of this game is going to be the user courses. You can make a course in less than a minute. Mind you, it won't have buildings, ball washers, benches but you can add those in.

The course creator is actually pretty cool and I'm sure there will be people going to town with it in creating courses. There is everything you can imagine to place on your course.



I'm going to make a 2 minute video of the course creator. I'd make it longer but the file size is huge in Shadow Play, even on medium. (Relative to how fast I want to upload them )

So this is kind of off topic but what is the new Tiger Woods game called since it is no longer "Tiger Woods"?

I honestly thought this was it but it's obviously not EA.

 

[Maynard]

keep it coming garrett. i dont like the idea of buying an early release, but i am very much interested in this game and would buy if its worth it

any coop on there?

 

[Garrett67]

Here is one hole of play and that isn't me talking, that is the commentary. I don't know if that will be in all holes or what. I didn't hear it in the course I created but I didn't finish / publish it either.

I'll have a couple of minutes of the course creator here in a bit.

That course difficulty slider, I don't know if that changes options (like wind for example) or if that is just so people know how hard the course is. I'm thinking it has to change the wind options or something.

 

[Garrett67]

Here, you can see I made a nice course in less than 2 minutes

Placing objects, its publishing.

Oops

I guess I placed the gazebo in a bad place.

 

[Garrett67]

Ha, playing with the editor and you can change the time of day, you can change the orientation of the sun for that time of day.

So, if its something like 4pm and the sun is coming from the east, you can change it to any other direction, which obviously changes the shadows.

Creators are going to have a field day with the editor.

As for Co-op, there is an option to add players and that might be local.

I'm making a video of it. There is an option to add a friend and I don't know if that is a Steam friend or what.

I added 2 players of my own and played with 2 others I selected but its the asynchronous type multiplayer.

The videos are uploading now and I'll post them when they finish.


I'd say its worth $30. The editor is the money here so far and like I said, people have fun with it.

There are gameplay options that aren't available yet, like playing a tournament. That might have the multiplayer element to it, I just don't know. There might be info on their forums though, I haven't been there.

I'm not sure but I would guess they would just go back to calling it PGA '15 like they did in the Genesis/SNES days.

Here is the end of the editing video. You can see where I placed the bridge and the wonderful placement of the ball washer.

Check out my awesome putting skills too. I will be honest and tell you that I was actually trying to hit the ball washer, just to see if it is a solid object. I confirmed that it is after I made this.

 

[Garrett67]

I'm going to be distracted for awhile, I just started downloading my pre-release of OOTP 15.

I do have another video still uploading that shows the player selection (multiplayer).

And sorry about my mouse cursor

 

[Garrett67]

Just finished processing, I'm sure the quality will improve. You can select the quality at the bottom.

 

[Garrett67]

Someone (jms), change the title to reflect that this is for PC too.

 

[Maynard]

would you say at this point the graphics, sound and gameplay make you feel immersed into the game?

 

[Garrett67]

Course creator, some of this stuff I haven't even seen yet. They do a better job than I do. I'm terrible at explaining things.

 

[Maynard]

downloading now

 

[Garrett67]

Remember, its early and there is stuff missing. I'm going to fire it up and play.


You can join the "The Golf Club" group on Steam too to get more players.

The course of the week (Knoll something ) is beautiful !
