The feel I got from the trailer is that the game is relying a lot more on social aspects, where you pick a character or make your own avatar and join up with friends or random people and can play a round of golf or do some mini-games at the golf course. If there's still that core golf game that makes Hot Shots Golf great, this could have some awesome potential.
This is one of my favourite gaming franchises by far. I've been waiting for this trailer for over a year. Words cannot describe how disappointed I am by that utter shit-show of a trailer.
Looks like Clap Hanz has had their budget slashed by 2/3rds since the glorious Vita/PS3 game, and I can't understand it.
-Those fucking Microsoft avatars;
-Those animations;
-That focus on nonsense social features like 'waving to a group of strangers you don't give a shit about';
-That dull-looking course designed around other activities than golf;
-That lack of visual fidelity;
-That lack of classic EG charm;
-That lack of FUCKING GOLF.
Hello Mr Hanz, where is the golf? I was told to come to this location and that there would be golf, but it's not here? Where is it? The golf, that is? WHERE IS THE GOLF
There is a feature I believe should have been in golf games 2 generations ago: the ability to walk/drive on the course and explore it. One of the fun moments in real golf is cranking that shot over or around an obstacle and then driving out to look for where it landed. Sadly, it involves tall grass at times...
I always thought golf games needed this as an option. I think we're finally getting it.
Think about VR too. Gamers will want to walk around and explore the famous courses in VR. No more warping to your ball. Finally, we are progressing to open world golf courses. Looks like we might get balls coming the opposite direction too from the next hole over.
Good stuff.

Well putt.
Classic example of a game trying too many things.. And not sticking to your guns.
Those avatars look terrible.
Yeah, I love the series too, but this looks poor.
Also they 100% stole Microsoft's Xbox 360 avatars & their animations. THESE ARE LITERALLY 360 AVATARS. How is this legal? I mean besides how shitty they look.
This looks shit.
This is a fair point but I don't believe the trailer actually hinted at that at all. One of the things that frustrated me about the last Everybody's Golf was that 'Real Golf Mode' (where the camera stays behind your character so you can't pick out a landing spot) was only in certain single player tournaments. Deciding roughly what club you need from your course knowledge, then watching the ball as it flies over a hill, hopefully dodging a bunker and ending up on the green but you're not sure, or hitting a great shot that LOOKS like it's 2 feet from the pin put it could be an illusion... That's golf.
And the ability to run after a ball to see where it's going in that mode would be helpful, so long as it was entirely optional and didn't break game flow. Most times I want to move from shot to shot as quickly as possible.
I don't think it showed any actual gameplay. This seems like filler content. I have played every Hot Shots and love them all but I am not going to overreact to the nothing that was shown in that "trailer".
My prediction is that this one is just like every other Hot Shots and I am fine with that.

There's literally a post like this in every game announced at tgs aside from nioh which seems to be getting praise across the board(rightfully so) only game that looked off to me was resident evil everything else had me droolingthe fook?
NeoGaf, one of a kind, I'd swear some posters are like retired game developers. Who notices all this stuff?

Here is a link to the Japanese website for the game. It shows a few screens that includes some actual golf pictures and shows a level up post for your character. Hopefully this helps some people stop complaining so much.

The lobby system in this series has always been goofy and I'm hoping all the side activities are just more things to do while you are waiting for the round to start.
That's what I was thinking too, that they're diversions but probably not even mini-games as we'd think of them. (I actually originally thought that these were maybe just part of an in-game method of introducing the characters, but I was multitasking at the time and when I popped the video full-screen I saw how bad things looked and couldn't fathom they'd do controlled sequences with characters so ill-characterized...)
Looking at the screens, it's not a tragedy, but I'd love to see a little more pizzazz slathered on the game before it hits PS4.
Looks like others players have to wait for you to take the shot, and trash talk you while you are doing it?
The trash talk feature has been in most of the multiplayer versions of previous games in the series. You character will just say stuff like "hurry up" or "come on already"
