Swing animation already looks 100 times better. Looks like there is actually some speed/force behind it.

The swing animation does look a lot better. This was an impressive bit of video, but they're obviously still totally in love with the Follow Cam. I hope to goodness they're going to put some options for a reverse angle snap camera in this game! I thought it was cool to see people walking along the cartpath behind the green. I hope we're going to finally get to see golfers in action on adjacent holes, in addition to being able to see other player's in your group where they'd be standing in real life.

Wonder what they mean by one of their feature bullets - "three unique swing mechanics and fully customizable gameplay styles"? Kinect and Move certainly have to be among them, wouldn't you think?

Cool wandering spectators

Wow that was awesome. Agreed on the swing. That score overlay looks awfully familer too

Looks interesting, may check it out. If they aren't going to commit to making a realistic golf game, might as well go full on arcade.....bring on the battleships.

It's been tough waiting a couple years between golf games, but from the little we've seen, the wait is going to be well worth it. The game looks outstanding, and no load times is just about enough to get excited about on its own. I'm excited to see more in-depth info on all the new features in the coming weeks and months.

The only downside for me is the inclusion of Rich Lerner. I watch A LOT of Golf Channel coverage on a weekly basis, and he's probably my least favorite of the entire group. I like Frank Nobilo though, and the fact Jim Nantz won't be in there is an improvement regardless. He was alright, but it was time for a change.

I'm hoping Augusta National is still in the game, but I just have a feeling it may not be.
