I don't mean to offend any golf fans, I'm just saying maybe it's not the best idea for a game?
Especially one that comes out every year.
Still, hopefully they add lots of new modes and stuff...Screens look good but then every EA game LOOKS good nowadays.
It's almost like they admit they didn't get it right the previous ten times.
jk
i suppose what people could be saying is 'stop making games!! please!!'
maybe they could just do a downloadable 'update' of last years version to save everybody 40£
although if they are making them then people are buying them, so i dont see why they would stop anytime soon. i always picture the devs of games like this having a great time, drinking beers and messing around all day and everyday, then making a few changes before launch and sending a slightly updated version in the nick of time...
*sigh*
I can sort of understand a golf game, but not one that is anual. I mean, sure you can improve some tech, but beyond that, not much can really be done. I'm really not sure why people insist on putting out sports games every year, but one where it all revolves around a single guy? Atleast the other stuff gives a new line up, like different Guitar Hero/ Rock Band/whatever the fuck.
i expected better tbh.
I still think 07 is the definitive version (the only one I considered worth buying anyway).
It's almost like they admit they didn't get it right the previous ten times.
Do some browsing, and check out the graphics for the new Ghostbusters game that will be coming out soon. Nothing emphasizes the point being made here, that graphics have not been improved upon with TW then that game. I chose that game, because the primary focus is on human beings. As is golf.
I'm very very, did I mention very, disappointed in EA for the lack of significant improvement in the area of graphics engine. I don't know this for sure, but it's entirely possible that they have done absolutely nothing with graphics in years. Rather just add content.
If I was Tiger Woods. I'd be some pissed off.
