[Innovation] Tiger Woods on Video Game Realism and Knowing Your Customers | A ...: Using information from weather.com, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 recreates the actual conditions at whichever course you opt to play (except for lightning, which would suspend play, perhaps forcing players to hang out in a virtual lockerroom playing video games within a video game. Very meta). 

[BlueBadger.com] BlueBadger.com - An Apple, iPod, and Microsoft Resource Center ...: Previous Wii games, such as last year’s Tiger Woods and Wii Sports have made a decent fist of mimicking your movements while you swing in your living room, but the addition of the Motion Plus genuinely takes the golf sim to a new level. There’s the option to play Tiger Woods 10 sans gadget but - if it hasn’t been drummed in enough already - Motion Plus is, really, the only way you should play.

[The Wiire] Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10: Golf as a sport is very exacting.  Each shot requires precision, and understanding of how the ball will react in different situations. It's no surprise that MotionPlus represents that precision well in higher difficulty settings.  How your wrist is rotated on your swing determines the draw and fade of the shot, an incredibly useful tool for driving in heavy wind conditions, or around a tree.  Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 tracks the movement of the MotionPlus on your back-swing as well as your, uhh, fore-swing?

[Armchair everything] Wii Game Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 « Armchair everything: The game itself is pretty straight forward.  It plays almost exactly like real life golf.  Anyone who has ever picked up a club will have no problem settling into this game out of the box.  More so on the Wii, as if you use the Wii-mote as a golf club, as you will get a real feel of playing.  This is unlike either the PS3 or X-Box systems, where you would still be using a traditional controller set up.  In other words, on the Wii this is an active participation game, where on any of the other consoles, you;d still be sitting on the couch.

This is a brilliant re-creation of real golf, loaded with little touches and tweaks that make it an addictive pastime whether you're a low handicapper, a weekend hacker, or a first-timer who doesn't know one end of a putter from the other.

[Fast Company] Tiger Woods on Video Game Realism and Knowing Your Customers: As I mentioned in last week's dispatch, when Tiger Woods came to New York City recently, I was able to pick his brain a bit about Twitter, Facebook and the changing landscape of sports marketing.

Even after a good 20 minutes of tweaking, randomising and mucking around, I just couldn't get anything resembling a svelte athletic Peej so I gave up, randomised everything and ended up with something that looked like a cross between Dolly Parton and Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister.

[Inside EA] Inside EA » Blog Archive » Recruitment advice in a recession”¦.Part ...: Emotionally believable characters are key to gaming, therefore if a games character, say Tiger Woods, smiles, the shape of Tiger’s face is driven by the muscles moving under his skin.  When smiling, a head appears to grow in size, driven by the widening of the mouth and jaw, but obviously the head does not grow.  Key is remembering that with squash & stretch no matter how squashed or stretched something is, its volume remains constant.

[Joystiq] Jimmy Fallon beats Tiger Woods at his own game: See More Related Articles and Blog Posts .... Tiger doesn't have the benefit of the weight of the club, the thwack of hitting the ball, the feeling of the wind. Fallon presumably practiced on the simulator, and thus is more used to its differences. vote up vote down Report 2 hearts .... But honestly, the people I notice who are best at wii games always sit on their ass and are able to do everything perfectly with wrist movements. Very athletic /sarcasm ...

[Golf Tips Authority Blog] Golf Swing PGA Tour Pros Tiger Woods: I actually _hate_ watching him swing a club, but he’s the leaders in GIR this year, so there you go. I think it comes down to the fact that beyond a very few true fundamentals in the swing, golf is really about much more than the swing–which is something a lot of young players don’t seem to get at all.

[CrunchGear] Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (Wii) with MotionPlus: The one shortcoming of the in-game swing mechanic is that, compared to hitting a good golf shot in real-life, everything in the game still has to be exagerrated somewhat. You’re still going to have to swing a bit harder to hit a shot at 100% in the game, whereas on a real-life tee box you’d want to take a nice, easy backswing followed by a nice, smooth followthrough.

[The Golf Blog] The Golf Blog: What's wrong with Tiger Woods?: He doesn't get through the ball like he used to and ends up leaving the ball out to the right or "spinners as he call them" Something has to give or he will become ordinary, he may still win but will no longer be the dominant player he once was.
