The Lost Gamer writes "EA have announced today that one of the most prestigious Golf tournaments, The Ryder Cup, is set to feature in the upcoming Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11.
However, of more interest to PlayStation 3 owners at least is that EA followed this by stating that the title will support Sony's new PlayStation 3 Motion Controller to allow players to experience a more authentic swing to their gaming."
Amazon.com are offering 50% of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 for the Xbox 360 and 2 video game lightning deals for today only.
David Kenson writes "Tiger Woods 12 manages to squeeze out a few more improvements on Tiger Woods 11's already full rostrum of options. Like last year, MotionPlus allows the game to capture a one-to-one backwards and forwards stroke, but now it adds the Balance board into the swing equation for the first time."
He provides a comparison of the different version of Tiger on the Wii, which highlights the up-and-down nature of the EA franchise.
That's a very thorough look at the last five titles in the series as compared to the latest. I have to say that I'm occasionally addicted to golf games, although I prefer them on the arcade-y side (I loved Sensi Golf on the Amiga!). If I take the plunge again this will be really helpful!
Not 100% sure about using the balance board. I suppose it isn't as vigorous as Raving Rabbids but the board isn't as stable as a golf course. Interesting use of the board though.
Good grief... well I guess if I played golf this could be an amazing teaching tool. As I don't Ill have to play it with features all turned off if I want any hope of success. Still good for EA to at least be trying to make use of the Wii peripherals and iterating on a franchise on a console where most developers just pump out lazy ports.
We all know that people are gaming later and later into their lives. I have recently come across a group of seniors who love to play Xbox 360. I took this opportunity to talk to them about their gaming experiences. This opportunity inspired me to make this list of the top 3 games suitable for… how shall I put this… more veteran gamers.
Ps3 OWNS the sports genre. Not only does it have exclusive titles (MLB The Show, NBA, etc) plus all of the multiplats, but now it basically has the successor to what was often called the "definitive golf game" with similar (more) accurate technology.
I can well imagine playing this as I enjoyed the Wii versions but they lacked in the graphics department.
Looking forward to it
Why? We've already had this in 2010.
motion controls are no longer gimmicks,
