So, a week after Uncharted: TLL? I know they're not remotely the same genre, but c'mon Sony, space your damn releases out!
Can we drive carts around the course while someone is trying to play? X-D
I pre-ordered that when it was up for $25 on Best Buy. I'll be ready to grab this right away.

Happy that they unified the naming in the west now, the EU/NA difference always bothered me.
Will this get a physical release?

I love this series. Always have. But the visual style of this game is genuinely jarringly horrible. I'm sure it'll play brilliantly, but it looks more than a little unpleasant.

It's not Hot Shots anymore? Kind of a bummer, but I'll be buying regardless.
Had so much fun in my friend's dorm with Hot Shots Golf in the PS2 days.

FUUUCK YESSSSS!
Glad the fears of a multi-month long delay for localization are put to rest. 2017 is just too good for gaming right now.

Did someone sue them for the hot shots name or something? Seems kind of dumb to use the more generic name honestly

Hidden gem on PS3, over the moon for PS4 version. Definitely in safe (Clap) Hanz.
Have you never seen the Hot Shots Golf series before?

This, Uncharted, Shadow of War, and Yakuza all within a week from each other. Should provide me with plenty to play while all the big third party games that don't interest me come out

In a year of killer PS4 exclusives, I don't think this will be among them.
And I'm not just saying that because Owl City is the musical backdrop for the action.

I wonder if they hold off on online tournaments for a month or so like they normally do?
Just give me my HSG lobbies and let me figure out how to get out of bounds.

Probably one of my favorite gaming series and easily one of the best in the year, please change the character models.
Exactly.....I'm very curious about this game but not at this time considering Uncharted comes out a week prior and Yakuza Kiwami comes out on the same day.

As long as it has a bunch of courses, I don't really care if the characters look like shit.

damn right it's Everybody's Golf
"Everybody's Golf" has been the series name in Japan and Europe since it started. It is kind of weird that they decided to change over to it in the States like that, I suppose.

Who can hear the "Everybody's Golf World Tour" voice over when you start the game and think it's generic? It's my favourite part

welp 40$. a budget price for an online social multiplayer game. i'm expecting 100$ worth of DLC.
theyre gonna hold so many courses and characters behind a paywall. not sure if i should wait with fingers crossed for a complete version or just pre-order and not buy any dlc. craving some HSG golf, but everything else theyve done to this game is just a massive turn off.
anyone know how we can make ourselves applicable for the online testing?
a bunch of courses.... to download for 10$ a course

This is my favorite sports series, but I'm not really pumped about this new game. I'm nervous about the MMO aspects the trailer seems to show, and why would buggy racing or fishing be in a golf game?
Why does this game need to be a jack of all trades? I would've loved HSG World Invitational as a foundation, add PS4 graphic upgrades and a lot of courses - even as DLC.

Well, it doesn't look great and there's a lot of info missing there (how many courses, what online modes, is there asynchronous online multiplayer a la The Golf Club)... but that low low price means it's a day one for me anyway.
Also delighted to see that they got rid of the generic 'Hot Shots Golf' name for the universal 'Everybody's Golf', which is exactly what the game is... golf for everybody - all gaming skill levels, and all levels of interest in golf.
...I still can't get over that the decided a golf game needed to go open world social-gameplay-based, though. Just baffling to me.
EDIT:
Regarding courses and DLC - of course there's gonna be a ton of DLC, the question is whether the core content is enough and whether the prices for the DLC are fair.
My standard is that the game needs to have 7 18-hole courses as standard, and extra courses shouldn't be more than 6 dollars each. If they can hit those marks I'll be happy. There'll no doubt be a ton of character and gear DLC I won't give a shit about... it's just the courses that matter.

I dunno, Everybody's Golf sounds way more generic than Hot Shots Golf.
I'd like to know this as well. Prefer physical, but at least the digital has some nice pre-order goodies.
I gotta say, characters with realistic proportions doing cartoony anime poses is just slightly disturbing.
Still, this looks pretty great. This fishing and such sounds like it'll be a fun distraction from the main game. Mario's last two attempts at golf since World Tour have been pretty disappointing so I'm getting this for sure.

I'm excited to finally get another Everybody's Golf (though strange its not Hot Shots anymore in the US?). And $40 is great though it makes me a bit cautious as well. Hopefully its a full game and not fee-to-play.

Wha...it's not Hot Shots anymore?
I'm still okay with the unified naming across territories though.

Yessssss yessss meh uncharted can wait until Black Friday baby!!
Gravity rush 2 and the last guardian should've been $40 too imo
Knee jerk reaction because of the $40 price tag which works better for games like this.

Awesome! Also, super happy that they are keeping the name unified across all regions so I don't have to correct myself every time.

Great news had so many fun with my family in previous games, good stuff. It's a series which has been an absolute blast and has led to some hilarious fun times. Must admit this news has brought a big smile to me today.
This is the only one that matters
