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

  01:33 PM - February 26, 2014 by bluengold34_OS

OK - I have just been informed that there will be an email sent over in the next few hours that will provide access to the Golf Club closed beta today. Myself and any others who were lucky enough to gain access will provide what information we can in this thread. Asking questions is not a problem, but understand we may not be able to answer them all. I will post in here as soon as I have the game installed and have spent spent some time with it.

We just ask that you be patient - Thanks!

What was the reason for chipping on a couple of the greens? I'm guessing it was because the green grid was out of range?

Since the new build what is your take on the accuracy of the driver?

Thanks for the video. The course creator looks very well done from some of the vids I have seen on YouTube. Can't wait to play this game!

Honestly I did it the first couple of times simply because that is what the game defaulted me to, club wise. I stopped doing it after a bit though.

Since the new build what is your take on the accuracy of the driver?

It is tougher, but I am hoping they tweak it just a bit more. While I have never hit it past the second cut on any hole, I have read in some the beta impressions of cats hitting it into the next fairway.

Not a problem, it is pretty time consuming to upload them, but I am happy to do it here for the community. The nice part about the course creator is that it's not even the final product. They are still tweaking it and adding stuff in each build.

I'd love to create a course that hard, and add some specific sound FX:

--Instead of the 'sploosh' when you hit one in the drink, I'd put a toilet flush sound there, cuz there goes your score

--When you hit any shot into a bunker, cue the Simpsons bully kid with his 'Ha ha!' laugh.

--When lining up your putt, have the heckler from 'Happy Gilmore' holler at you random times: "You're never gonna make this putt, ya JACKASS!"
Miss it NOONAN!!! MISS IT!!!

I wish this game would hurry up and get to open beta at least!

He said when he hit it, it stumbled around and than fell over.

I hope the animals appearing will be dynamic, I'd hate to run into the same animal on the same hole every time. This is a great addition.

I'm pretty sure they said it will be early access instead of open beta right after closed beta. Meaning you have to buy it but obviously you get the full game so a no brainer still. Just wanted to mention it.

If i buy it early access... do i have to buy it again when the game is officially released?
 
# 168 mgoblue @ 03/12/14 03:53 PM
Wow, this looks pretty good....may have to check it out on One when it releases!

No - you are purchasing the full game in purchasing the early access. It will just be a late beta phase type condition. Once the final retail build is finished, you will just get prompted for an update.

To add on to that:

Any updates that they do are downloaded and you get the newest version all the time.

Prison Architect is the perfect example of how great early access can be and I thinks it's a GREAT move for not only the company but gamers.

These are the times where I wish I owned a gaming pc.

It'll be on PS4 and Xbone too FYI

I think he meant for early access. It will be on PC before either console.

Yes Red, meant for early access.

I really am getting big time excited .. I keep mentioning it, and probably because golf season is slowly creeping back. I could get it for pc, but seeing as I have one game for my PS4, I'll wait and get it for that.

Started playing around with the course creator again this morning and decide to dig in and start putting some real effort in creating something close to Augusta -

So I have worked on the basic layout, hole length, and design. Still need to put some work in on elevation, trees, buildings, - pretty much everything, but its a start.

Nice work man. Just from my viewpoint I can see that those trees are a bit too sparse and too tall. Is there any way to replicate the pine straw?

Not right now, but we really have no access to the settings right now. I know this has been brought up often in the beta forums - so hopefully they inslcude the abaility to adjust and turn off all that stuff.

Thx bling - And I agree, trees are too sparse right now, fairway edges need adjusting, and I need to remove some trees and replace them with a different variety. As far as the straw, not really right now, but hopefully that is one of the items they add into the creator with the next build.
