Re: Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions
I'm saying this off the top of my head, so sorry if any of this is misinformation or names are wrong:
The game starts out with one course (Eagle City) and four courses which you unlock through progression over time (Alpine Forest, Kanola Beach, Vortex Valley, Imperial Gardens). I do not believe you can pay to unlock these ones in advance. Most of them are unlocked when you go up a rank. I think Imperial Gardens or something doesn't come until Rank 6, though (meaning once you are on Rank 5, no course actually unlocks from Rank 4 and you are still on Vortex Valley... I may be wrong on that).
Prior to the previous update, there were two courses that you could pay to unlock as DLC (Green and Balata, $2.99 each I think), and cannot be unlocked through the game's progression system. They are courses from previous Hot Shots Golf games. I believe Green is the opening course of the first ever HSG, because I played a PSX demo disc relentlessly and that course looks very familiar as that one. These two courses are very basic, novice, entry level courses like Eagle City, except probably even easier. If you play Turf War enough, the game will sometimes randomly choose either of these two courses for you to play on (truth be told, it seems like I actually get these two courses more than any of the other ones), so you can kind of play them as a "trial" if you're unsure whether you want to buy them or not. Of course, you can also probably watch videos online and decide for yourself that way. I have not bought them, and likely will not unless I require them for the platinum trophy.
I know nothing about the new DLC course except that it is a brand new course made by Clap Hanz, it is likely on a more difficult level (read bcruise's impressions on it), and it is more expensive. I am unsure whether it will pop up in Turf War so you can preview it before you actually pay for it. I'll likely just buy it regardless so I don't give myself second thoughts about not buying it, because I'd like to support the possibility that they will make more courses hereon out, like how the Zen Pinball company is still making and releasing pinball tables since 2009.
At Home, there are three gates where you can play some sort of online deals: prior to this update, you could either play some 9-hole golf on your own pace (you can also play individual holes, go fishing, or collect little coins, gems, tokens, items) or play Turf War. The middle gate wasn't anything yet, until now they have released the National Tournament, which I have yet to learn anything about or venture into. They always had a plan for that gate though it seems, so it makes me wonder how complete the game was when it first came out. I bet they wanted to have this in the game from the get-go, but were unable to do so in time. Glad they didn't charge us for that! The course, on the other hand, was probably not on the original docket for us, which is why they are charging (plus because they can lol).
