The Golf Club Closed Beta Impressions (Q&A Inside)

Re: The Golf Club Closed Beta Impressions (Q&A Inside)

It's nice to see they have course design in the game for PC AND consoles, but it certainly doesn't seem to allow you to recreate a real course as accurately as TW08 PC did. The course architect for Perfect Golf will probably end up being much, much better than the one in The Golf Club as well. Yet another reason (in addition to the omission of turn based online multiplayer) for me to pass on TGC.

Well I am equally excited to play Perfect Golf - I just wish there was some type of news on a release period or where the game stands, other than "we are working on it" Initially they said winter of 2013, and here we are ready to enter the 2nd quarter of 2014 and that's the best insight we can get?

True, my first round last year was in March, though I didnt play again until May. Which driver? Is there a particular brand youre looking at for your woods? I just bought some Callaway x-hot fairway woods last year and I love them to death.

R1

I'd like to either match up Taylormade fairway woods or Titleist to match my irons. I'll definitely have to do some swinging this spring, but I think I'm gunna start with a new putter first.

Nice. A friend I went golfing with every week last summer bought an R1 ... he's not hitting it as well as his old Burner, fwiw. Of course, everyone's different. It sure does look slick, though.

Perfect Golf. Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

Seriously, Perfect Golf had my attention back in June of 2012, when it was unveiled but, now almost 2 years later, I have very little confidence that it will ever get released. I dare them to prove me wrong but, I've lost all hope for that game.

Yea it took me about a month to figure out how to hit it (was scared to play after a few range sessions). But once i did, boy, I knock the snot out of it.
I'm hoping they have R1 fairway woods, mostly so I can match them up, but it doesn't seem that way.

So any new rounds you've played BluenGold?

Re: The Golf Club Closed Beta Impressions (Q&A Inside)

Very impressive work on this hole, three questions 1, When you play a hole can you move the ball where you want in the tee box, or is it the usual and you hit from where the ball is.2, I don't think that i have seen any divots from shots in the fairway are they there ? .Lastly in your own opinion do you think they will be adding crowds to the final game.Thank You

Re: The Golf Club Closed Beta Impressions (Q&A Inside)

I can see myself spending more time designing courses than playing the game. Seems like 2 games for the price of 1.



I would love to have this by Masters Weekend. Probably won't happen, but I can hope.

That's what I feel most my time will go towards. Been waiting for years for this feature and it's finally here

Poodle, they said they want this to be amateur golf, but they have said they will keep it in mind on their actual forums.

This game just needs to come to steam EARLY access as I had a dream last night about creating a golf course on it, smh...

Re: The Golf Club Closed Beta Impressions (Q&A Inside)

Bluengold, would really like to see a gameplay video of build #2.
Also, would it be possible to include gameplay of taking shots from different camera angles? Maybe even throw in a "replay" or two?
I know you are busy working on Augusta, but i thought I would put in a request anyway!
thanks,

Not a problem. I will play today and upload the video overnight, and post in the AM.

Sorry but this msg was meant for bluengold34.

Re: The Golf Club Closed Beta Impressions (Q&A Inside)

Um if you're referring to my post. Obviously I know that but was trying to help you out with what the actual developers said. Figured that'd be better than his opinion as bluengold has no idea what they are gonna implement or fix other than what he hears as well.

Thanks Poodle.

1. I have not seen or heard of a way to move the ball around the tee box yet

2. There are divots in the game. At times they are more pronounced than others, but they are there.

3. I was told directly from the lead producer that they have no plans on putting a crowd in there. Bleeding is correct in saying that this game is meant to replicate 4 friends playing on the weekend - not the PGA Tour.
