Watch out for the flaming battleship hazard in the PGA Tour 15 E3 trailer
It looks like EA Sports won’t be ditching their realistic golf simulator to focus on fantasy courses. Sure, the fantasy courses will be there too, but PGA Tour 15 will also feature a heavy sim component.
The game will be the first EA Sports title to utilize the power of the Frostbite 3 engine to render stunning courses and open up the golf experience like never before. With the ability to stream full environments, players will truly be able to play the ball as it lies no matter where it lands.
This newfound freedom will come in handy not just for PGA Tour courses fans know and love, but also in the new fantasy courses that will make their debut in EA Sports PGA Tour. Why take two shots to get a ball around a beached battleship in the Battlefield Paracel Storm course when you can fire a ball right at the bow, bounce it off the deck and land on the green in one?
“One of my favorite things about the game is discovering new shortcuts and alternate routes to the hole on fantasy courses,” stated Executive Producer Brent Nielsen. “Players are encouraged to wander off the beaten path and find new roads to success. Now that the entire course is open at all times you are as free to be as creative and imaginative as you want in your pursuit of a low score.”
PGA Tour 15 is in development at EA Tiburon and will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One in Spring 2015.

Two retro-style platformers made their way to the Xbox Live Game Store today.
Nicalis’ 1001 Spikes is a punishing platformer for the Xbox One that gives players 1,001 lives right from the start. And players will need them all to traverse the spikes, pits, and enemies that will challenge adventurer Aban Hawkins behind the Golden Door of Poko-Mum.
Also available this week is Blood of the Werewolf, a “love letter to classic platformers” from Scientifically Proven and Midnight City. Blood of the Werewolf was released for the PC earlier this year and now it’s found it’s way to the Xbox 360.
More details about both games can be found after the break. (more…)
