In case there was any doubt about EA being "out" on golf games (probably forever, but who knows...)

 

They've announced that the Rory forums are closing on January 3rd...

(They claim it's being consolidated into Answers HQ...but we know what it means..)

Definitely frustrating the direction they took in the final years…

On my PS3 I fired up my Tiger Woods 2014 the other day and was reminded that they had a great foundation of a game there. They should have built on that with Next gen graphics instead of doing what they did with Rory.

Maybe so...
I enjoy my copy of NHL Legacy on PS3 every single night however..

I think we have to look at all their lines sort of in isolation mostly as they come from different studios, at least the sports ones anyhow.
Maybe you just mean the mega-conglomerate ownership and model of business though - I hear ya'..

I personally wish they were still making a golf game.
Competition is good and their resources allowed them to pursue a level of gameplay depth and graphics technology that are usually class leading.

I assume you mean Axe & Drgn?
I'm definitely not complaining about EA.

I think it's a shame what happened with Rory.
They had a good solid base to build out there (which was supposed to be the plan) and they torpedoed it before really even giving it a good run. Bummer for sure.

More golf games = Good in my book

In a particularly odd occurrence, Rory is apparently now back online and available for EA access vault members.

 

I'm a little unclear on what happened here, but my wild guess would be that HB negotiated some type of PGA Tour license exclusivity for their launch window perhaps?

 

I can't make sense of why it was totally pulled back in early Summer, but then is now suddenly back right after HB finally launched TGC 2019 (w/ PGA Tour - sort of - partially, etc)

 

Anyone else have any possible explanations here?

Well, no Tim...none of this really matters
We are just talking about golf video games after all…lol

I just figured some people might be interested to know that Rory is back available on the vault if they still want to play it…

It may be a dead game and franchise but it still has the best graphics a golf game has ever seen (in my opinion anyhow)

 

Also - at least to me - whatever happened here with it being pulled and then coming back is sort of unusual and interesting.

I know, I know - not all liked the TW games..

 

I really still like TW14 personally and I thought Rory had a great foundation and beautiful graphics...  obviously it was really lacking in a lot of other areas though.
