I'm going to guess a new game in the series will be announced in June

They always do this. Shut down servers after a few years. Why I never invest in their multiplayer games.

 

[Keihart]

Great thread tittle

 

[Meowtor]

loved this game a ton, sad to see it get taken down. also laughing at being locked out of trophies now..

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Lovely title!

Sad new.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Sad new.

Haven't played in awhile myself, but if it means we're going to get a new game for PS5.... I'm fine with that.

Maybe because not enough people playing the game?

I mean I'm disappointed they're shutting down the servers but it'll have been 5+ years since it released, not just a few

 

[cormack12]

This wad a great game, surprised its gone so soon

Fuck the OP.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Fuck the OP.

I require dinner first.

Prefer Chinese, but B.K. or McDonalds is fine too

I don't think you've invested in their games period.

This game stunk. Hot Shots World Invitational for Vita was a top 3 game on the system to me. Bought this day 1 and it was just not good.

While it is certainly one of the weaker entries in the series, it's still miles better than any other golf game out there. I'd say "stunk" is overly harsh. WI, OT1, and OT2 are the GOATs.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Doh!!! I've just been playing the single player anyway though . . .

Sorry, he only eats high class dinner.

 

[Nankatsu]

I came into the topic thinking how original the title was.

Didn't expect the title to be literally true.

[Men_in_Boxes]

I too prefer hoarding objects that can never leave me over experiences that are enjoyable. For possession in itself provides the highest joy.

Haven't played for a year and i sure won't miss the servers but i wouldn't consider the game old enough to warrant such a decision. Maybe the playercount is to low. I agree a new one would be cool.

 

[Carter Burke]

What a Shame.
Thank you Jim Ryan.
Pay for the online they said, it will improve the experience they said.

 

[Carter Burke]

And of course Jimbo doesn't have a new Golf game as a replacement because he doesn't give a shit about Japan.

 

[Termite]

I remember being so hyped by the demo/online test. Then the game came out and was a pay2win microtransaction ridden fleabag.

Shame, because the core gameplay was so good. As was the soundtrack. When they added the "lone elite" setting, the game finally became good - and it was amazing. But it was too little too late.

Running around courses like Mario looking for daily-spawning gems to power up your clubs (in order to make you want to spend real money to do so) just has no fucking place in a golf game.

 

[ShirAhava]

Bought the Vita version near launch was a lot of fun....remember that word sony? fun? its everything that 'cinematic experiences' aren't

 

[chaseroni]

Yet another Japan Studio server closure.
Sony ain't speaking to me, that is for sure.

 

[Fake]

Another one I guess. The future of gaming sucks.

 

[LordCBH]

What's the point in paying to play multiplayer if they'll just shut the multiplayer off anyway. Fucking loved that game.

 

[Calverz]

I don't think you've invested in their games period.

Think again because I have.

 

[jufonuk]

Nobody's Golf

 

[unclbenn]

had a lot of fun with couch multiplayer. the single player game was too much of a grind but i'll definitely have a couple online matches with my buddy before the servers get taken down.

 

[VN1X]

Fuck the OP.

Fuck the OP coming straight from the underground
A young poster got it bad 'cause I'm baited
And not the other forum so OP think
they have the authority to troll a minority
Fuck that shit, 'cause I ain't the one
for a punk motherfucker with a thread and a pun

 

[Agent X]

Great thread tittle

Yeah, the original title for this thread was clever. Too bad it was changed.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Digital future sucks.
Game is on my backlog, didn't even started to play it.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

[purpletentacle]

glad Sony's not getting into the GaaS business.

 

[Goalus]

GT Sport: tik tok tik tok tik tok tik tok...

 

[Holammer]

Couldn't have timed this shutdown announcement better, just when Clap Hanz Golf is having its 1y anniversary.
Anyone actually played that? It's generating zero buzz and apparently getting a "major update" soon, hope that includes PC and console ports.

 

[TexMex]

Truly bummed. I still play this all the time. The online is great and the community, while small, is still very much there. A real bummer.
