I remember when one of these games was on the free ps plus games list one month. I downloaded it expecting it to hold my interest for half an hour or so. Instead the damn game took over my life, it was amazing!

Definitely in for this day 1, can't wait.

 

[Redd]

I've been waiting for this and August is so far away but I'll manage.

 

[bosh]

Sweet. Don't have to import it now. This game is going to be awesome.

Golfing - check
Fishing - check
Driving the kart like a maniac - check

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

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.

??what a weird thing to come in here to say

 

[sackninja]

Yessssss yessss meh uncharted can wait until Black Friday baby!!


Knee jerk reaction because of the $40 price tag which works better for games like this.

Gravity rush 2 and the last guardian should've been $40 too imo

And thinks it is just Sonys new price point for all family focused games, I believe Lbp3 and Ratchet and Clank were both 40 dollars aswell. ExpectKnack 2 to be 40 dollars. It definitly seems to be catching on with Sony.

 

[molnizzle]

Shoulda changed EU to Hot Shots so all of the West could have the superior name.

Ah well.

I think lb3 was $60 but yea ratchet was $40. For smaller series I think it works. More of a reason for fans to pick it up and just the right price point to entice someone passing by with an interest

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Will this be digital only or will there be a physical as well?

Considering Wipeout Omega is getting a physical release, I will be very surprised if this doesn't as well.

 

[Luschient]

Looks fun. Wonder if we'll ever get a Golf Club 2?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Woot its finally dated, buying as soon as possible. I put so many hours into the previous versions, just so good to relax too.

Curious how the non golf stuff will be.

 

[Jucksalbe]

So this is, what, the fifth time they are calling a game in the series simply "Everybody's Golf" in Europe? lol

The trailer makes it look like this will be a digital-only title, which is kind of a shame. But on the other hand, I'm really happy it's releasing so soon.

Edit: Nevermind, there will be a physical release.

Last I checked, devs were hinting at a spring release date. Nothing official yet.

 

[BigEmil]

Whoever thought that simplistic characters and realistic environments are good idea needs to be punished.

I like more simplistic visuals

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I know my friend is getting it for sure. But man the visual seems still very rough.

 

[MizzouRah]

YESSSSS! I was honestly expecting a year delay behind the Japanese version.

 

[paulogy]

With this being open world I wonder to what extent you can grief other players in your party or elsewhere on the course? :-D

 

[dragonflys545]

Nice!!!! But sucks for my wallet.

 

[tiebreaker]

I hope it's good as I need more casual games to chill.

 

[Steiner]

Finally!

Been waiting for this very announcement, and I'm digging the change back to Everybody's Golf. This gon' be fun.

 

[Guymelef]

True GOTY contender.

 

[Storm Chamber]

I'll wait and see.

 

[Blinck]

I'd love to give this a shot, but honestly the art direction is awful. This should be a colorful and non-realistic game, IMO. A sort of Mario Kart 8 graphics style would suit this perfectly and make it much more appealing.

 

[bender]

We've waited so long, friends. Pre-ordered.

 

[Murdamonk]

Pre-ordered!!

I don't know where i will find the time to play all these games this August.. UC, Yakuza Kiwami and EG.

 

[aygomyownroad]

About damn time!!!

 

[kdoll08]

This is great news. We actually get it a couple of days before the Japanese release but we finally have unified world servers. The Japan server has been robust for years now while we have 25 people online between the U.S. and Europe. I love that they are going with a $40 price tag over here. Hopefully with the lack of good golf games and the cheap price this game can get a bigger following again as it deserves it. I'm glad they are going to Everybody's Golf as the name now too since we are all on the same server. This is a good day.

 

[ironcreed]

The visuals are more than fine for a $40 game. Not to even mention that it looks to have more packed into it than ever that goes beyond just golf. But even with just golf, this series offers endless fun.

 

[canedaddy]

I like my Hot Shots on handheld, but I guess that's never happening again, so PS4 it is.

Not a fan of the name change in NA, either.

 

[tilomite!]

Wow, wasn't expecting $40. I'll be there day 1.

 

[Bog]

Hot Shots (mechanically) is a perfect video game. I will buy this day 1, but throwing away the name in the US after 20 years is moronic.

 

[fireatwill]

I'm excited that this is finally releasing. I've owned at least one HSG game on every Playstation device I've owned.

I really hope they include the various mini games from previous versions. I really enjoyed the mini golf and par 3 challenge courses.

 

[Fluffhead14]

love how they come out and say "three click mechanism" is in it. so glad they didn't force some stupid swing with the analog stick.

$40, so there.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I think even the Hot Shot Golf World Invitation on ps3 looks better than this....art direction wise. It had colors and wasn't realistic. But it also had some charm.

 

[Fluffhead14]

hope we get some hilarious caddie action

 

[Skeeter49]

Never played a Hots Shots Golf gsme. Excited.

 

[YianGaruga]

physical version for EU at least

[Falchion]

Wish this was a little earlier in the summer when there's more of a dead period.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Never played a Hots Shots Golf gsme. Excited.

Same.

I'm interested but Uncharted and Yakuza in the same month hurts.

 

[Guymelef]

I guess they are using more "realistic" characters on the trailers to show how customizables they can be, but you can create more SD characters like the previous games .

 

[ThatStupidLion]

edit - info from other thread was for DLC i believe

also, for japanese beta sign ups in May -

[ReubyJuice]

Looking great! I loved HSG on Vita, go back to it still on occasion. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Really liked 5, and 6 was good also. I'll get this one.

 

[TotalMackerel]

https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/855080300468092928

Looking at the cover, is it possible we'll still get non-custom characters that are more in line with the older games? Hard to tell from the picture size....

 

[JP]

Fantastic, I love these games. There isn't a series of golf games that even come close to this for me.

No signs of a tennis court in the trailer though. 😕

 

[kdoll08]

It looks like there will be a physical release for us also. If you go to the game page it gives a link for digital pre order and disc pre order. Currently there are no retailers listed but they only announced this an hour ago.

The clothes look fine but the faces are just awful. All the charm of the previous playable characters has been lost.

sweet. I wish they'd say stuff like that in the announcement. You never know these days

 

[Vyrance]

Game looks great, hopefully I'll have a PS4 by then

 

[BigEmil]

Good price I'm in

 

[petethepanda]

No idea if it's something that would happen, but that trailer made me want a PSO/Destiny-style multiplayer hub.
