It seems they're getting back into Golf games.

So this would compete with EA's golf series w/ Tiger? I had a friend in college who really dog the golf games on his PS3. Has the market grown that much in recent years?
It's mostly been collapsing actually.

Kind of what I thought. Why invest now? Maybe kinect integration?

Generational shift is usually the best opportunity for bringing something back.
This is also why we have like 5+ racing games this Fall despite that not being as healthy as it used to be.

Its probably a one off thing like Table Tennis was.
I'll play a Rockstar golfing game.

I'd love a good golf game to compete with Tiger Woods. That series has been slowly going downhill for years.

Oh nice. I love golf games and was hoping someone would take on EA finally.
They tried to register, for the first time, the "LINKS" trademark in March 2011. They failed to complete succesfully the patent registration (dunno exactly why), so a second attempt was made in June last year.
For the patent registration they are using the same law firm (FISH & RICHARDSON) that they utilize for the big brands ;GTA,GTA V,RDR...
This LINKS must be a thing. Maybe a demonstration of the new Rockstar engine like Table tennis was.

The last I read, Take-Two Interactive still owns the rights to what was to be Links 2007, on the XBox 360. I'd heard that Links 2007 had gotten pretty far along in development before Take-Two killed the project. Maybe this will be a belated (and hopefully updated) release of it? I'd sure love to see it; Links 2004 was way ahead of its time.

Next gen college hoops. My heart couldnt handle the win.
I doubt visual concepts has the man power to get it done.

This would be an opportune time for Take-Two to cash in on the rights they already own to Links 2007. There won't be another Tiger Woods golf game to compete with them until March of 2015, Tiger Woods 14 has been a commercial flop, and they already have what is probably a fairly complete, solid game engine, courtesy of what they acquired from Indie-Built in 2006. It wouldn't take a lot of work to gussy it up to 2013 standards.
Remember how rich the online gameplay experience was with Links 2004, on the XBox? It had great head-to-head play, and customizable, user created tournaments that you could monitor the scoring and statistics of via the Links 2004 website and via the in-game menus. In many ways, it was more advanced than the Connected Tournaments in Tiger 14. I'm really anxious to see what they do with this!

Doing a bit of a bump here, but in light of the recent Tiger Woods out of EA's game news, are we expecting 2K nabbed Tiger? It would make sense being that Tiger couldn't be the cover golfer for EA if he's in 2K's game too right?
I'm really hoping we see something on this soon and it's a full next gen title.

This could be a possibility
I saw on sportscenter today it said Tiger was already in negotiations with another company. So maybe.

Correct. Which makes Tiger with 2K sound even more plausible.

2K needs to bring back their $19.99 sports games. The old NHL 2Kx games were so damn good. So much better than the EA ones.

Oh shit, Tiger saw those next gen 2K graphics and jumped ship to the winning side.
This, and charging for the exact same DLC every single year. It wasn't even priced reasonably, either.

Golden Tee is still going strong, they just released a 2014 edition a few weeks ago.

Seeing how well 2K and Visual Concepts did with the Jordan stuff, I would love to see them do career arcs for guys like Nicklaus, Tiger, and other big guys.
