Looks just like Easy Golf but with Avatars, only probably less good as highly doubtful it will have a lovely course editer like that found in EG, and that game can be picked up for just 400 points now.

Re: Avatar golf footage leaked - be quick!!

Is it possible this is the new EG perhaps? Matt has been awfully quiet recently certainly looks a direct rip of Easy Golf

You know what, that's a good point there Rory, he's been very secretive and the resemblences are so strong I wouldn't be one bit surprised, good on Matt if so, for sure the game would attract alot more attention with Microsoft and more improtantly Avatars behind it.

Re: Avatar golf footage leaked - be quick!!

I do remember reading that XNA 3 did allow developers to integrate Avatars into the games, so it wouldn't be too much work to include them. Also it EG was probably one of the more successful community games and would be ideal for MS to pick up and turn into a full XBLA title, it would become a win, win, win situation for everyone involved.

Re: Avatar golf footage leaked - be quick!!

From my understanding (through what I've read from Matt) I don't think EG did that well commercially but production value-wise I'd be pushed to think of another game which is as polished, would be brilliant if Matt got this as an arcade release with MS support, no doubt finally get the recognition he deserves! There are so many similarities between the above and EG, even just simple things like text on the screen, if it's not EG then I'll be looking out for the court cases lol

I've been watching again and it just has to be an updated EG, even the colour coded putting power bar(which let's face it was pretty unusual) is identical, right down to the way the maps finish on the edges. Yep, Matt if you're reading this, the secret is most definately out

And yes, I will be purchasing again
