The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has revealed some details on the online features of Hot Shots Golf 5 for the PS3.

sweet online hotshot golf is always cool.

PS360WII6362d ago

Yes indeed it's a good thing. Hopefully matches are easy to get into and not to many people take bathroom breaks in the middle of a 18 hole stroke play match...

MikeMichaels6362d ago (Edited 6362d ago )

..you could play 50 person games as well. Basically you could set a timer for how long a player has to finish each hole.

If you didn't finish any hole within the time you were kicked out for the game.

So piss before you join.

Frulond6362d ago

This one should be fun online :) looking forward to it

bigmack6362d ago

when is it gonna be online?

Sevir046362d ago

the very day it releases in japan it will be online... and most likely it will be online when it drops in the US around september- october.... sounds cool. I've never really played a Hot Shots Golf game before maybe the PS3 release will be the time i get in. It seems like Sony istruelly showing us how much more important online is in the Gen of Gaming.just about every game has some online component. weather it be leather boards, and statistics, or online gaming matches it's all there in some form or another. which is a great sign for the ps3 this time around... I cant wait to see what developers are going to do with the HOME Service this october... especially with all the Trophies that Sony will definately be blostering with there own titles... thats awesome.. i think i'll pick this game up on it's US release

Sony's ten finest exclusive franchises

Digitally Downloaded wrote: "While Nintendo's first party studios are held to an almost impossible standard, Sony does not get enough credit for its own first party studios. They're quite awesome, too. Sony's stable of exclusives have significantly improved over the past generation, offering content that you cannot find anywhere else but PlayStation. This top ten list features what I consider to be the ten best Sony franchises. From Kratos to Nathan Drake, Jak and Daxter to Ratchet & Clank, and Wipeout to Gran Turismo, PlayStation fans have been spoiled rotten by these franchises."

Something that isnt on the list Infamous its such a great franchise.

Conzul4211d ago

Dafuq? Infamous is easily top 5 Sony material. I enjoyed it way more than Killzone or Gran Turismo.

Ezz20134211d ago (Edited 4211d ago )

WHAT ?! infamous games are one of the best this gen

and also 10 sony's franchises is not fair since they have alot more of amazing franchises

Derekvinyard134211d ago

I would take infamous over wipeout any day

VonBraunschweigg4211d ago

inFamous should have made the list, but if it isn't too much trouble, can you please edit your comment to let's say, Hotshots Golf or something? I mean not WipEout man, not my beloved WipEout HD Fury online Eliminator. With the 2097 hud & soundtrack. With the female announcer. Contender...eliminated:)

Thanx

HonestDragon4202d ago

Freaking A right. Infamous is hands down one of the best Sony franchises around.

where the heck is infamous,it deserves a spot on that list,though it is a top 10,id probably swipe infamous in for hot shots golf,only because hot shots isnt my type of game.

LOGICWINS4211d ago

If this were my list, Yakuza and Infamous would without question be at the top of the list.

MattS4211d ago

Yakuza isn't Sony. It's Sega.

I agree with you though. I love that series.

LOGICWINS4211d ago

To my knowledge, there has never been a Yakuza game created for a non- Sony platform. So its a Sony platform exclusive. But I see what your saying. You mean games published by Sony.

Tito084210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Dude you and your delusional logics, Yakuza isn't a Sony IP, and isn't published by Sony, the only reason you don't see the Yakuza games on any other platform is because when they first worked on the first game, it was supposed to be a multiplat, but of the 3 console makers, only Sony gave them the green light as opposed to Nintendo & Microsoft. It is a 3rd party game regardless of exclusivity, the article is about 1st party games, if Sony ever bought the riggts for the IP, then yeah it should be on the list!

It is very evident you want to add something that has nothing to do with the subject to get other people angry, keep your "Logics" somewhere!

_FantasmA_4210d ago

It technically does count as an exclusive since you know its exclusive.

nosferatuzodd4211d ago

what? you kidding me wipe out is way better than fzero ..

dafegamer4211d ago

Where the heck is Infamous? Also add the recently Gravity rush to the list too. It should belong to sonys exclusive powerhouses

I_am_Batman4211d ago (Edited 4211d ago )

I would add Resistance as well.

dafegamer4211d ago

yup amazing series. I really hope we get a ps4 installment
