Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

[nemesis04]

This Best Buy pre-order bonus has been a disaster, I am up to two full game codes. I would hate to be the guy who let this happen. Still not resolved.

I'm still waiting on them to fix my issue.

So frustrating

Purchased the game earlier today & love every bit of it. I've always loved the 3-click method & hope the series never strays from it. It plays so smooth & the getting around the menu's is so quick & snappy. I can now finally get to try out my bear costume I received for the playing the beta. lol

I've owned or rented every game in the Hot Shots Golf series... this game does NOT play exactly like all of the old ones; namely Hots Shots Golf: OOB and Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational. They each offered the option of a real time swing interface of various types, that allowed you to not only experience the swing in real time, it afforded the opportunity to use your golfer's animation as the mechanism for gauging your power and accuracy clicks.

In Everybody's Golf, you watch a horizontal swing meter go across the bottom of the screen, while the action on the screen is frozen. Once the blip on the meter has made it's transition governed by your clicks, the action is unfrozen and the golfer animation starts, showing you a virtual instant replay of the shot that you've already hit, in essence! That's a pretty radical difference in my book!

I want to stress to everyone that just because I'm not a fan of the non-real-time, swing meter interface of Everybody's Golf, and I'm championing the cause for the return of Advanced, real time swings, I'm in no way trying to say that the classic 3-click swing should go. I think it should stay and should be the default swing method for the game. All I want is an OPTION to play the game using a swing control method - that was already in two prior versions of the series - that I and many others preferred! I don't know why anyone should feel threatened over such an option being in the game?

You have 4 posts in this thread essentially saying the same thing.

Trust me, we KNOW what you're wanting in the game. We've heard/read you.

You, and others might, but Earl1963 doesn't seem to have glomed onto it yet; that post was for his benefit. You've also got to realize that this is now two threads merged into one, thus the doubling of my mentions of it in *this* amalgamated thread, which to your credit, on face value, does look excessive
