Yeah HSG 5 is great fun. My most-played PS3 title. The graphics are amazing--some of the system's best--and I actually find the new swing mechanic quite fun (though it's only required in a couple of tournaments). Only downside is that it's limited to six courses, so it generally has a bit less content than the PSP version. Best console golf experience out there, though, bar none.
I still prefer the previous installment of the series (on PS2) myself. For gameplay (some tricky moves are missing in 5), courses (number, layout, difficulty), single-player challenges (number, and far more challenging) and content.AstroLad said:
But at least, online are getting better now in MnG5 (and of course graphics are vastly improved, and also presentation, even if it's unreadible in SD)
Koren said:
Yeah I'd have to say in SD you'd really be missing out on a lot (just like almost every PS3 game); the graphics are a big part of the game's enjoyment to me. HSG's timeless mechanics and physics and new-gen graphics are what makes it a great package to me, though I certainly agree they could have beefed up the content.

can someone explain to me why HSG PSN demo was taken down from PSN?

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Is there a USA release date now?
It is november and I really want this game.

exactly. I expected this game by now... and if I would have known HSG5 would have a Final Fantasy level translation period, I just would have imported back in the summer.
maybe ClapHandz adds stuff to the US/EU versions???

It always takes for-freaking-ever. For one thing they replace a bunch of the characters (for reasons known to no one). The good thing is that you will probably have a full online experience out of the gate unlike those of us who got the JP version and basically got it piecemeal, but yeah the HSG lag is why I got the JP version (that and it was something like $55 shipped)--it's even worse than the PES lag.

maybe they are taking out the anime models for a more western designed characters?
(which means I will import this, hell, I will probably import it anyways since the PS3 is region free)
Hcoregamer00 said:
Probably not, since there wasn't any changes when SCEA brought it to E3 this year, or at least from what I saw from their e3 site. =x
I think the reasons why this game is not out yet are:
1) SCEA wants to add this to its UNSTOPPABLE 2008 lineup.
2) The NTSCJ version was pretty much rushed out to retailers, you can easily tell due to the fact that the majority of the online component was not complete by time of release. That's why the online component has been putting itself together these past couple of months. And that is the other reason why the game has a mandatory 4GB install, to reserve space for said online components mainly. SCEA probably wants at least a good chunk of the online functions completed and put on the disc before this game heads over to domestic shores.
I should join you guys, though I haven't had enough time to play lately. lol
EDIT: Oh right, and maybe SCEA wants to add its own PGA pro, or probably related to Murayama and his caddie's likenesses for other localizations.

:lol
yeah I know.... I can't wait for the game to come out here in the States...... I might just import the Euro version like I did with PES2008..... all I have to say is thank god for Sony allowing the PS3 to be region free.... I think I'm spoiled now..... the PS4 better be region free.......
Looks like they've released a crap-ton of new stuff in the online mode since probably any of us last went on. E.g., all the courses are playable now. Also Santa lobby and parts:

I'm gonna hop back on this weekend for some games, though I'm sure I'll get slaughtered since it's been over a month since I played.

:lol yeah. I'm not even sure if the last one is there yet since I didn't go back through Shihiko's earlier updates. But yeah Silver Peaks + SANTA! is more than enough to get me to hop back in. Would be fun to have another gaffer or two around to hang out with at the bottom of the standings.
cilonen said:I'm up for some major fail on Silver Peaks
I can't actually get to my PS3 setup in the spare room at the mo due to house renovation stuff, but I'll clear a path to it for tomorrow.
Nice sounds good. Don't forget we'll have a shit-ton of updates to d/l. Probably a good 20 mins. worth of dl'ing and restarting. I can be on at 11 AM Eastern Time or thereabouts.

Any world on if they've added the ability to just play a regular foresome of golf with friends + voice chat + no reservations?

Cool, I'll probably pick this up. I don't like Tiger. My fave online golf game is still Links 2004 but I'm also a fan of HSG and Mario Golf (and let's face it, odds of Mario Golf Wii having voice chat is pretty shit).

This and Wipeout HD is what will make me buy a PS3. It would be nice if they both come out around the same time.
