EA Sports released these first images from the Xbox 360 version of Tiger Woods 08. Quite a few graphical upgrades since the last episode, and it certainly was necessary.

Well, luckily they EA got the textures on the end of the club right! Phew! Would've been awkward otherwise! Imagine playing a golf game with low res textures on a model that 99.9% of the time consists of a tiny speck on the screen. Disaster!
I'm troubled by the fact that effort is put into things like that. Couldn't developers be more effective in their game building, save a few million bucks and some time (that for instance could be used to add some significant, fun gameplay tweaks) instead of misdirecting attention like that? ... but I can totally hear someone say "wow, look at the detail on a small insignificant thing like the golf club - yaaaay!" and then never notice it ever once they get the game.
I'll be the one to say it: That Sasquatch looks awesome! I'm a bit biased about such things, but that is a pretty good recreation of the real thing. Oh, and I doubt it cost anything for EA model that club...depending on the nature of Tiger's contract with EA and his contract with Nike, I suspect that Nike's put a bit of money down for the exposure. Maybe not though...perhaps his contract with nike stipulates that he be in Nike gear in golf related activies, virtual or otherwise. Given his status though, I'm not sure that the contract would be that restrictive.
I never understand why these golf games look so bland (maybe its foir their target audience). If you look at the texture quality of the guys in NBA 08 they piss on Tiger, surley EA ahould let its in-hiuse developers share ideas/resources. SInce they bought criterion surley they must all be using renderware so will have all the asme tools?

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
