Mojovonio said:Do i need to go to a website to set this up, like you do for XBL?
jacket320 said:Here's the instructions for making a JPN account. I followed them like it says... but just for a European country. You might be able to just put whatever, but I looked up the address of a London business and used it for all my info. Also, you don't need to worry about putting in a credit card if you're not going to buy anything, but you can still dl free stuff just fine:

Hope that helps!

SO I played the demo, and the game is awesome as always.
But I fail to see any reason Advanced Mode would be used.
Maybe its just me, but I like seeing the distance to the hole and a rough estimation of how far I'll hit the ball on the power meter.
Advanced mode requires you to randomly choose a point in the animation and judge that to the distance required?
WHY?
Also, I think the wind has a FAR less effect on the ball than 3 and 4.
This is the one bit of information I'm really waiting for. I want to pick up the US version, but as I'm UK based I also want to be able to play online with my UK based friends.AstroLad said:Do we have any info yet on cross-region compatibility (esp. w/ Asia) and whether anything has been added to the US/EU versions? I'm just trying to decide whether laying down 60 bucks for the double dip is worth it.
AstroLad said:Advanced mode is just a totally different mode (you can still see distance to hole though). HSG trying to innovate slightly. If you come to it expecting the unit precision of normal mode, you will be frustrated. But basically it comes down to sacrificing a bit of accuracy for 10y more power and a bit more leeway on impact. It's also easier to gauge distance if you switch to the side view. Last I was online, most people choose advanced, but not all, and the regular people can compete (been over a month since I played though, maybe it's more settled now), and even better there are tournaments that force you to use one mode or the other.
For the HSG purists, there is always the Portable series, both of which use only normal mode (and have more courses and character customization).
That probably means..no jp voices..;<SamBishop said:Arrrrrgh! Sony finally sent over the review build of Out of Bounds and the disc arrived cracked. Boooooooo... One funny thing to note, though: I doubt the game is bigger than like three or four gigs. The actual burned part of the BD-ROM looks positively minuscule compared to the rest of it.

TheExodu5 said:I ask my question again:
Does anyone know if the music on the NA version is the same as the Japan version?
Has the music been the same for JP and NA versions for past HSG games?
Hmmm ... thanks for those. Not sure I like having many players onscreen at once, even if they are "ghosts". I wonder if there's an option to force alternating shots or if you can only do simultaneous play?Slaylock said:Two new videos:
Online Tournament Trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31668.html
Shot System Trailer - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31666.html
The online trailer makes it look like there is no voice chat, just text. Other than that, online looks fun.

You're getting perfect shots, right? That's the only way the up/down and down/up shots workDefcon said:What are all the different kinds of power shots you can do? Just backspin? Playing the demo, I've gotten up down to work a couple of times, but it only seems to work on the green about 50% of the time. On a fairway shot, it never works. Is this intended?

You need to get the final tap perfect, I can't remember if it says Nice Shot or something different if you get it, thoughDefcon said:I guess I'm not. It's hard to tell. It says Nice Shot each time, but I guess that's not perfect?
