As you may have heard, we had the latest iteration of the classic Hot Shots Golf franchise on display at PlayStation Experience this past weekend. Visitors were able to check out the game and experience a new mode as well. I’m here to tell you all about the ins and outs of New Hot Shots Golf (working title), coming exclusively to PS4.
Sony's New Hot Shots Golf will get a closed beta test next month, with registrations opening today for Japan.
Today, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that New Minna No Golf (New Hot Shots Golf) will be released in Japan on August 31st.
Nice me and some friends were just talking about t this game wondering when the next one is coming. Man Sony is on a roll with the games. Another Day 1 Sony exclusive.
Given the PS Blog talked about this game at the end of 2015, I'm shocked it has taken this long to materialize. This trailer could be confused for the one they showed back then too lol. Well, I've always enjoyed playing some Hot Shots Golf, and while we wait to see if EA can put together a competent current gen golf game, I'd love to go back to something like this. Hope to hear this is coming our way sooner rather than later.
PSLS: "When I walked up to the demo station for New Hot Shots Golf (which is a working title, by the way, so hopefully it’ll get a much better name), I didn’t expect to spend the majority of my 10-minute demo fishing. Video games are weird, though, and that’s exactly what happened. Before I get to that, I probably should talk about the golfing part considering that’s what most people are probably interested in (but please stay for the interesting fishing tales)."
Love this series, but I felt like it really hit its stride on the PS2 with extras like minigolf and the attention-to-detail in the characters/courses. Here's hoping the PS4 one captures that spirit.
I forgot this game existed, along with many other Playstation Exclusives.
There are simply too many to keep track of.
This was already one of my favorite golf titles, satire and all. Nice to see more fun additions kicking it up a notch.
Love it.
day1 for me!
Awesome, been looking forward to a new hotshots, especially one not on handhelds.
this has Digital Release and Micro Transaction written all over it.
and i hate the new logo/font. its a blatant rip off of Wii Sports.
