Hope they start moderating the names when the actual game comes out. I've already seen some ugly stuff and I have zero interest in seeing that when the full game is out.
They are both available digitally.

That's a bit of footage taken via the PS4 share feature. Gives an idea of the UI and loading times as well as my bad playing skills.
I don't know why everyone thinks it's a slog. Just select 9 hole course and you are set. It automatically takes you to each hole.
Graphics are fine but everything else is a slog to get to the gameplay. There is a good game in here surrounded but unnecessary crap.
Has anyone found a way of joining friends yet? Looks like some of the framework is there for it! Me and the buds just wanna jam!

Overall impressions seem like people are happy with the gameplay, but disappointed with the graphics/sound.
Hoping gameplay makes up for the rest.
Even then, I think the characters look pretty decent despite how janky everything else is and I'm really digging the soundtrack but the characters voices are beyond terrible. But yeah the game is fun. This could work as a PS+ game, at 40 though I doubt it'll manage to sell a ton at launch.
To be honest, I thought everything was solid. I've played a few HSG games and I came in with the expectations of a HSG game. Was not disappointed.
I did not notice extreme aliasing. It is minor, and not disruptive at all. I think the game looks fine.
Just press start and select nine holes to do a traditional round, guys. You don't have to run from hole to hole.
Gameplay is solid. I had no frame rate issues messing up my shots at all. Zero. I had a lot of fun, and I like that your stats and clubs are leveling up and gaining experience with every good shot. I've already been pulling off some cool trick shots.
I like having people running around. The world feels alive that way. It has that magic of HSG World Invitational online lobbies where you could run and jump around with your friends.
I also enjoyed the music and didn't end up turning it down. Different strokes (golf pun).
Also keep in mind that betas are their own separate build of the game that "goes gold" in its own way and takes time. We're playing an old build of this game, so visuals and performance aren't going to reflect the final version faithfully. No idea why some of you are judging this like you would a final retail version.
I'm getting back on the green today and can't wait.
It shows what the weather is for the hole but no way to change. It's always sunny with mild wind in the beta.Awesome! Great to hear!
I asked this yesterday but didn't get a response. Can you change the weather/seasons like you could in HSG4?

So what's everyone's best results for the nine holes?
I've managed to finish 8 under so far. The guys at the top of the leaderboard have scores of 15 under par! I mean, am I missing something because I can't see how the hell you could even achieve such a score.
Yeah, and I've eagled the first two holes. There some some savants in the EU and JP zones that are insanely good. They also used traditional shot on the last game, vs the circle shot that they got rid of in this version.Aren't there 3 holes you can get hole in one? I could see it possible.
So your driver maxes out at 230y in the beta (with a power shot).
I also found out that on hole 3, if you aim your first shot way off to the left (make it land on the 1st hole fairway), you can get to the green in 2 if your club is leveled enough. Once I get my 3w leveled enough I should be able to get on the green in 2 consistently without relying on wind.
It's not out of bounds to hit onto other holes in golf. It's only out of bounds if you hit it past the white out of bounds markers. This is just new to HSG since before each hole was alone by itself (and actually all golf games now that I think about it).
Guy at the top of the leaderboard now has a score of 25 under par lol
I played sooo much World Invitational on Vita and didn't get an invite. I need this!
You can play on US account. Just make sure your EU account is set to primary PS4Someone was kind enough to gift me their EU beta code. I created an EU PSN account and I'm downloading the beta now. Does the beta require PS+ since it's an online beta? Also can I pay on my US account once I've downloaded and launched the beta application using the EU account?
Disappointing is a bit of an understatement.
Dropped frames while trying to take a shot on numerous occasions. throws off timing. Graphics are a bogey, UI/nav is bad.
The character creator was better than I anticipated though.

Okay, this seems impossible with the current stat cap in the beta. This means they cleared the course in 11 strokes, SEVEN holes in one.
Edit: Since the game is recording everything, they should let you watch the replay of the highest scoring holes in the single hole challenge.

I wonder how making the game so you can walk from hole to hole quickly is going to impact the final game.
Kind of feels like cheating to aim for a fairway of an entirely different hole to hit a par 5 in 2.
Are all the courses going to have little to no out of bounds?
Serious question - are you new to the series? I ask because pretty much all of the games in this franchise have had holes with shortcuts or multiple routes to the hole, some more than others, so having this shortcut on a par 5 isn't anything out of the ordinary. Also hitting a par 5 in 2 isn't unrealistic by any stretch, that is the norm for getting eagles.
I'll be honest I laughed my ass off. And I'm impressed that it can happen, as it's true to the rules of golf. Did this happen in other Everybody's Golf games? I've put in 100+ hours and it's never happened to me before.
