Sorry it's been a bit quiet with PG2 development news.

 

We have recently upgraded to Unity 2017 to take advantage of all the latest graphics tech as well as a lot of the new and streamlined multiplayer functionality which will enable us to have asynchronous play as well as the turn based multiplayer we already have.

 

We have no new animations to show at the moment but what we can show is the latest lighting, atmospheric scattering and 'Turf Effects' development as well as new CourseForge functionality to help slightly randomise the bunker edges for an even more realistic look. No 'cookie cutter' edge bunkers here 

 

We're progressing steadily onward towards Perfect Golf 2 but as a small team it takes longer than we all would all like I'm sure!

FAR more immersive and atmospheric.....anxious to see video of this.

 

Anxious to find out what hardware will be needed to run this at 60 fps+.

 

Thanks for sharing Mike!

Obviously we have a lot more detail and effects here in development for PG2 but on the same hardware (770GTX) I run at more or less the same FPS as PG1 which is around 50fps on a typical scene. On a more modern GPU I'm sure in excess of 60fps would be easily attained.

Wow that is some great views. Like Divot I am also curious what video card will be required and what Xboxone model you will need.

Thanks Mike. Guessing my 1080Ti will handle PG2 handily....

 

Love to see you guys support the Xbox One X with 4K and HDR.....

What a tease. Looking good MJ.

I especially like that TE doesn't seem

to tile near as much as a texture.

[Edwardo]

Thanks very much for the update Mike.

Gorgeous pics. 

You and your dev team are doing a wonderful job.

 

Cheers,

Ed

Wow.   the lighting looks fantastic!

I'm more concerned about the bland, one-coloured look of 3d grass, and whether the transition between CF textured mesh and normal Unity terrain will look natural.

ok. I'm taking my credit card out now for the Xbox one x along with PG2. just let me know when. i always say the gameplay is excellent. just missing some substance.

yea this may be worth going back to the console, of course

i will try it out on the PC first but im not upgrading the PC just for PG2

but i will buy a console. either way i will be playing.

great looking pics

Looks sensational guys!!

Very excited for this release

LOVE it, Just hope that my computer can handle it.

Very nice!

 

I read an article today about gamers who use monitors with native 1920 x 1080 resolution. The  GTX770TI, GTX 970 SSC and GTX 1070 SSC or FTW are excellent for that resolution. I have my monitor's resolution set to 1600 x 900 and JNPG set to 1370 x 768.  Just easier on my eyes.

 

I doubt anyone with an an Intel 4Core CPU or the GTX cards mentioned above will have to upgrade.  However, for new readers in this forum with W7 through W10, 64bit systems with just 8GB should be upgraded to 16GB. IMO

Yeah, same here.  Pics are incredible.

The 1070 rips at 1080p - it's overkill for just 1080p gaming.
It's a very good 4K card as well, depending on the specifics of the game.
If I had to pick, I'd say it's the dream 1440p gaming card.

(Former 1070 owner here)

I actually sold my 1070 as a 6GB 1060 is much more suited to my 1080p gaming and I didn't want to have money on the table for tech I really wasn't using.

From Mike:

"... streamlined multiplayer functionality which will enable us to have asynchronous play as well as the turn based multiplayer we already have."

What is the difference?

async = all can play at same time/indenpdently  like ygc ghost balls.  turn basded is what we have now.

[KenR]

Thanks for sharing Mike... onward we go!

 

P.S. I want it now!!

Remember Links? We could all play at the same time (fast play, I believe) and watch the other player's shots fly through the air as little streamers in a box on the top of the screen. I think you could move that box around too.

 

Same idea here with better graphics.
