flameboy Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/756/756124p1.html well quite a few people have spoken of their interests about this game. so thought I'd post this. Looks pretty good, got graphics that they compare to the the PS2. But has gameplay elements from the 360 version. Also it seems they have nailed the wiimote control for the most part, apart from the putting perhaps. anyway supposed to be out in March might be worth keeping an eye out for. sorry if this has been posted somewhere else....
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 You know, it doesn't sound half bad. I think this sounds pretty decent actually. The putting seems to be a problem, but I hope they can sort something out with that.
ThePigMarcher Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Nice read , certainly a game worth keeping an eye on. As much as I enjoy WiiSports Golf the lack of depth soon hits you , and EA will certainly be providing that. It does seem that both games are going to have issues with the putting mechanic , perhaps it is something that can't easily be solved with the Wii-mote. Normally I would be a bit sceptical about EA games , but after they managed to pretty much nail the controls on Madden my faith has been restored.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 EA get far too much stick than they deserve, Imo. Well, Wii Sports is a simple, basic game. There is some depth, but you'll find more in specific titles for each sport, such as Virtua Tennis. It's good to have that kinda balance where you can play simple games like Wii Sports for fun, and then games like Tigar Woods golf for some added depth.
Cube Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Now that is surprising. EA are changing the games mechanics to suit the Wii, rather than just adding Wii controls to a straight port. UbiSoft need to copy EA in this respect.
ThePigMarcher Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 The really nice thing about that Joystiq playtest is the other link which confirms the release of a Baseball title from 2k Sports with online play. This got me well excited , until I realised that the chances of us seeing that over here are remote to say the least.
Pit-Jr Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 This will probably be my second Wii purchase. Tiger Woods typically kills Mario Golf or Hot Shots.
DCK Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Nice one. Tiger Woods games are usually quite good judging reviews, and this is a no brainer for the Wii. Wonder what's up with the graphics though. It looks depressingly dark.
Shorty Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 nailed the controls apart from the putting eh? That sucks because the putting is also the worst part of Wii Sports' golf, hope it gets sorted....
Haden Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Definatly getting this my Dad will love this game so much. Thank god they have slice in this rather than that random stuff in wii sports. I want GC style graphics at least PS2 graphics man alive.
Cookyman Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Why is this game not online come on EA sort your act out! Really disappointed another golf game I won't be buying then! I want online golf on my Wii is that too much to ask for???
Pacifica Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Whenever I saw a golf game in the past I never gave it a second thought, but this is one I would actually consider buying. I can see it haveing real depth with many different clubs and courses, the seal on the deal however would be online play. If it was online that would bring so much more to it, and the ability to download new things like courses, or even a course editor would be cool.
antster1983 Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Despite all the slaggings off I give EA, I admit I do like the Tiger Woods games, and this is one from EA I will most likely buy
Nintendork Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 EA get far too much stick than they deserve, Imo. Do you know anything about EA's employment practisce? Have you heard of their 80 hour weeks? Have you heard about how you only get to go home early on a Saturday if you've been good. It destroys families. No wonder why people won't work for them- I sure as hell wouldn't even if Criterion offered me a job. Not to mention the fact that they fired a couple of hundred people.. then gave Tiger Woods a raise to keep his name on the box of the game. Fuck this and SSX and the Godfather and.. well not Spore. Get Pangya instead is my advice.
solitanze Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Anyone got any word on whether the GAMEFACE feature is superior to the previous version of the game? This is the main incentive to buy this game for me. I have 2006 because of this feature [i know unbelievably made an exception to the no multiplatform game rule but I didn't purchase it at a store, I bought for considerably cheaper on EBAY thus NOT giving them the sale].

Excelle Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Looks sweet Shame there's no online, maybe in Tiger '08? In the meantime, I'll just go round my friend's house for a round :awesome:
mcj metroid Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 EA get far too much stick than they deserve, Imo. . I agree people bitch too much about them.So far they have created more quality games for wii and ds then ubisoft
Mikey Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Golf games = T3h winn0rz. You guys should try and play Links 2004 on the Xbox. Great game. Hope this is as good.
James McGeachie Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Visuals seem a tad better than "PS2 level" in the videos to me, they mentioned retextured tracks in the interview and that seems very apparent, the textures are very high resolution and crisp.
Zechs Merquise Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 With a lot of games I don;t like the idea of the Wii-mote, but it;s games like this where it'll really shine. I think EA will get it right, a lot of people knock them, but they do put a lot of effort into their games and they're always very polished.
Platty Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I'll definitely be getting this. Loved the other Tiger Woods games on the GC so a new one with the Wii controls is gonna be pretty damn good.
