Thanks for that.

Has anyone outside Japan tried to connect online yet?

I am not sure anyone outside Japan has recieved their game yet. Mine is still at YesAsia.

Nice. Stupid question, but is a big part of that just luck? I'm ok at putting, but I hardly ever succeed in pulling of shots like this. In other words, in those long shots is there any way to know exactly where the ball will land if you make a perfect shot.

 

[Lyte Edge]

You have to wait a week to get the game, and then another week for it to install!

 

[kay]

Someone needs to query Clap Hanz when the NA version is coming out.

 

[akachan ningen]

Clap Hanz is the best developer name out there.

Thanks to kpop for the menu translation earlier. If anyone gets chance it would still be great for captures of as many menus (options, pre-games etc) as possible to we can know what we're doing ahead of time. I got my tracking number this morning, should have the game Monday.

A lot of it is luck yeah, if you see when the ball lands it kicks left towards the hole, I'm presuming this is due to the relief of the land near the hole and not some magnet...

Theoretically you could aim for something like that but you'd be a Golf Ninja.

And I don't think we should be too worried about online until it's fully up and running (with free mode) and people outside Japan/Asia have a chance to report back.

I did make a start yesterday but scrapped it because everything in those screens was completely obvious, except for the post-match run down with the requirements and what you actually achieved next to it. I'll translate those if you need me to, otherwise everything else should be easy, especially now we have the menus.

Still 'processing' for me, grr, looks like it won't ship until tomorrow.

 

[tyler]

There are a few things on those screens I wasn't sure of:

The text above the 31%, what's that?

On the 'PAR' screen there are SQUARE, CIRCLE and L1 (presuming SQUARE is replay and CIRCLE is continue, not played the demo in a while)

On the replay screen there's TRIANGLE, X and SQUARE (square was replay again I think)

And yeah there's plenty of stuff on the tournament screens. I like to knowing everything.

If you get a chance it'd be cool but no worries if you're busy.

 

[nofi]

There you go:

I'm guessing the one I can't read might be average number of putts, perhaps?

Which 31% screen?

 

[tyler]

Thanks for that. What are the two columns on that screen you translated? Is it current round and best?

Turns out I didn't post that 31% one initially.

For the top rows it's 'required' and 'actual', the lower rows are just your best records. Will take a look at the 31% one now.

 

[Blimblim]

Hey tyler, friendly advice: Imageshack could be very bad for your health

 

[tyler]

In what way? Please elaborate...

 

[nofi]

The text above 31% says 'greens in regulation', as it does on the after match screen. Well, it doesn't, but I think that's the most appropriate translation.

 

[Koren]

There you go:

Thanks a lot...

? is mean number of puts

I thank you

IIRC, this is the percentage of holes where you reach green in par-2

Any chance of some shots of the menus dude, so I can build up a little translated screen set?

Gamefront reports that the game has sold half of its initial shipment in the first day: 150k units.

 

[el Diablo]

Can anyone with the game take a pic of the character select screen? Curious about the open slots that may be for costume changes/character customization.

Is that shipment bundle included?

The Asia version shipped today from play-asia for anyone who had ordered it.

Ok, thanks

 

[AstroLad]

Thanks nofi and kpop; this will be a great resource once I get the game in next week (I hope).

 

[DJmizuhara]

When you start the game you have 2 costumes and 4 empty slots for new costumes.

 

[tanod]

There seem to be a lot of questions regarding modes. Here are the modes available in the menus:

Single player -----> Challenge Mode, Stroke, Training

Multiplayer (local)----> Stroke, Match Play

Online

Data--------> Status, VTR, Profile

Options

No mini golf
****!

 

[AstroLad]

Yeah, that's what I love about it. Just like real golf it's almost impossible without a good amount of skill, but then you need a brilliant stroke of luck to get you all the way there.

 

[Brofist]

Nice. Stupid question, but is a big part of that just luck? I'm ok at putting, but I hardly ever succeed in pulling of shots like this. In other words, in those long shots is there any way to know exactly where the ball will land if you make a perfect shot.

I have been placing shots from that distance right around the cup consistently, but yeah you have to get a little lucky for one to drop right in.

 

[Brofist]

ok screw it. did a few of the menus up. here ya go, hope I didn't resize them too small

 

[tyler]

Really appreciate that kpop, thanks.

edit: wow you actually translated aswell, I thought you'd just captured them at first glance. Awesome stuff!

The wait for the game to arrive is getting worse though...

 

[nofi]

Yeah, thanks for that kpop.

Mine's not even left HK yet. Frustrating.

 

[supermackem]

taking the game online is incredibly easy, when u choose to play online mode its gives u a prompt asking you to download 355 files.......after that its away you go smile.gif .

oh and if u dont have a japanese machine, it wont let you download the file.

Just found this on another site i vist, so without a japan ps3 you cant get online as it wont let you download the file to get online with.

 

[warthog]

Good stuff kpop, this will come in handy.

 

[AstroLad]

Awesome kpop.

As far as the online, it's a bummer, but no big deal. Guess I'll wind up double-dipping.

Everybody’s Golf 5 is off to a strong start in Japan. The game has already sold more than 150K on its first day release. A total of 300 copies were shipped out. Many stores in Japan are reporting that , they have already sold out of the number of shipments they received.

The game has not been dated for the other regions yet. We will keep you posted

Good news!!

 

[tyler]

Mine's not even left HK yet. Frustrating.

Ditto. I have a tracking number but it's still sat in HK.

 

[Kinan]

Gamefront reports that the game has sold half of its initial shipment in the first day: 150k units.

Thats not exactly whats written there. They are saying that various retailers reporting 50% sell out indeed. And that they think that at the end the game will sell more than Gundam (which was at around 300k).

The actual numbers are still unknown and will be reported in the next few days.

Yeah, had always planned to, the missus won't touch it in Japanese. Hopefully the UK version will be out towards the end of August in place of Lair.

Holy smokes, have they applied AA in the final game? That character model looks hot.

the characters look good, but I did shrink those pics a bit. Blim's pictures earlier in this thread are a better indication of the look.

 

[mckmas8808]

Gamefront reports that the game has sold half of its initial shipment in the first day: 150k units.

So is that 75k sold or 150k sold?

 

[nofi]

So is that 75k sold or 150k sold?

150k. They've sold half their shipment of 300k.

 

[ZeroTolerance]

So is that 75k sold or 150k sold?

150K sold. The game had pre-orders of about 300K before launch and with the great reviews that famitsu had regarding the game, i expect that number to sky rocket even more

 

[tyler]

If this game tracks your overall stats what happens in multi-player? ie. can you load another profile or does it only track it for single player.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Thanks, even though they're just urls am I still risking it? I presume that means if you've linked the image as a and there's a frog left in the thread.[/QUOTE]

I personally wouldn't chance it. Just re-host the pics some other place.

 

[el Diablo]

Wow that character select screen is nothing like the one from the demo, i was expecting a small tweak here and there but this is completely different.

Whenever one of you unlocks a costume change please post a pic from the char select screen and on the course, curious how much effort they put into it since the player models pretty detailed in their default stuff.

 

[nofi]

Excellent, YesAsia have now said it'll be another 14 days before my pre-order is shipped. I'll get it about 3 days before the UK one comes out... =)
