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

[RipCity71252]

All the sound effects do sound great, aside from the putter. Maybe it's just me, but it sounded a bit cheap.

Just something I've noticed, but most all the fairways seem to be pretty narrow. Probably in there, but really hope we have the ability to widen fairways.

Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Looks good. Hope I am able to easily create my local courses.

You can definitely widen fairways. The dev team has repeatedly said the difficulty will come with how the courses are designed. Does that mean we have to have 10ft wide fairways to make it real difficult, etc? Don't know, hope the beta testers can shed some light.

My oh my that looks great. Cannot wait to get my hands on the final product. Biggest decision will be what console to get it on.

I will get a full 18 hole video up early this afternoon.

Yeah the commentary doesn't do much for me either. I know they are trying to do something in that regard, but one of my favorite parts about getting out there and playing golf in real life are the sounds of nature. Maybe they can open up the bird song variety, squirrels barking, woodpecker pecking, etc.




That said I was impressed with the sounds off the tee and the fairway for that matter.

Thanks Bluengold for uploading these. I know it takes a lot of time and bandwidth.

Can't wait for the final product.

For those concerned about turning the commentator off - he can be taken down to 0 volume in the settings, and you can max the game sounds out - what you hear in the video is the game sounds at 85. In the beta though, the settings are disabled, so commentary cant be disabled.

Few questions...

1. I noticed a lot of texture popping, especially with the trees. I assume this will be corrected before release?

2.This may have already been answered but will this game be a full $60 retail game or will it be more in line with a $15-30 downloadable game?

The gameplay itself looks great but the actual golfer animations themselves look pretty ugly
