Everybody's Golf Review (TSA)

TSA writes: "Golf isn’t supposed to be fun. It is a serious pastime played by serious people while they talk about serious things, and anybody that doesn’t do that is clearly doing it wrong. However, nobody seems to have told Sony or Clap Hanz, as despite all of the obvious reasons not to, they’ve been plugging away making golf into a fun experience for the past twenty years. While fans will be glad to know that this year’s Everybody’s Golf is the most expansive entry yet, with more content than you can shake an oddly shaped golfing stick at, there’s a potential bunker looming if you’re wanting to play online."

Honestly, I never played any of the Hot Shot Golf games and despite Everybody's Golf's flaws, I still had a lot of fun with the game, even though I'm not a fan of golf. Plus, the character creator is probably almost as good as Dragon's Dogma's, Dark Souls', Xenoverse's and Sims'. Is something that most games with a lackluster character creator (God Eater and SAO for example) should take notes.

On the other side of the coin, I'm a huge EG fan and have been looking forward to it for ages but can't help feel a little bit disappointed with it (but certainly not as much to be able to justify a 6/10 score).

So far though, it's not a patch on the Vita version from a few years back.

Lot of slog in single player to unlock courses and additional content.
BUT had a few good couch play sessions where things have got quite competitive. One of the best with mates that don't mind "sports" games!

6/10? I guess their opinion but no Hot Shots golf game has ever been that low and this one isn't either.

I personally like having to unlock courses. If I had them all right away I'd have nothing to work towards and I'd get sick of the game in a week.

sizeofyou2778d ago

Oh I agree about the unlocking. But I've played Eagle City about 10-12 times and still not got another course. Tier the unlocks to encourage progress...

Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics

Sammy: "It’s sad that PlayStation has moved on from some of these iconic brands, but it would be worse watching them rot. At least with this licensing strategy, there’s a legitimate opportunity for more great franchises to get a second chance. And if they sell really well, there’s always the chance Sony may decide to bring them back."

Love this idea. Let other companies release reboots of these classics to a wider audience. Everyone wins.

It's what most IP holders do.

Remaster Puppeteer. It looked great on PS3 but it would be nice to have on PS5 with fast loading and some sort of 4k

They always shut down the servers on these games too early. Did it with Hot Shots Vita also :\

They should at least wait until a follow up, but maybe we're getting one soon. I love the series.

EvertonFC1119d ago

I don't think we're getting another one 😔 clap hanz golf is on apple arcade and no news or info on if there working on a playstation game ?

deleted1119d ago

Good point, I completely forgot reading about that! :\

I would imagine Sony still owns the Hotshots/Everybody's Golf franchise?

I also didn't realize how broken the MP was in this game, bc I only play online w family every now and then. (still to this day) Apparently the balance between microtransaction purchasers and standard players was way off, to where people who didn't buy in couldn't keep up competitively. That's a real shame bc the core gameplay of these games have been solid for a long time.

Never could get past all the characters cluttering the course.

EvertonFC1119d ago

I put thousands of hours into this game and when I did the PSN name change it voided my save progress and restarted me from the beginning.
Lost all my extra club sets and stats and purchases and just deleted the game after that.
Shame gem of a golf game, apparently they are not making anymore for playstation ?

Ozzy24071119d ago

Im still enjoying the PSVR version great game in VR

TiredGamer1119d ago

Seems too early to shut down. I played this game heavily the last two years with friends. Hopefully something new is around the corner.

Golf Story is so good. Really pumped for Sports Story. I wish it came to other platforms than Switch.

Neonridr1386d ago

Golf Story was amazing, totally caught me off guard at how much I enjoyed it.
