Forums - Sony - Vita’s Hot Shots Golf Being Ported to PS3

Doesn't instill hope for a booming vita TGS. Hopefully this is just an anomaly and not a sign of things to come.

Well, the game is being ported to the PS3 with the whole cross-play thing, so people can still play it on the road and then play it at home on their PS3.



You know I thought gulf was a super American thing, but the Japanese seem to love it lol.

I never really understood why this series is so popular in Japan. I find golf to be pretty boring, guess the Japanese enjoy it.

well, I never watch Golf broadcasts and stuff like that because I really think it's mindnumbingly boring, but Hot Shots Golf 5 is one of my favorite games on PS3, because .. it's simply awesome and it's online community was just soo good/mature/friendly, it was pure joy imho

Why would they do this? Isn't this a valuable Vita exclusive particularly in Japan?


I just think SCE head honchos have lost their mind, and don't have a clue of what to do with Vita. Is the most mismanaged launch I've seen in years.

Sony doing weird moves again.

What message do they think they're sending to potential Vita owners?

But making a golf game based on a 90's american comedy was even weirder to begin with...

If this is done with a patch in the Vita release for cross-platform play, it could be a big win for the Vita.
If this is done because Sony needs to sell software to improve its bottom line, it could spell the end for the Vita -- given the timing and territory of this move.

well if they make it cross-buy some people might buy a vita because then they would already have a game for it.



Would've been a smarter idea to leave it exclusive and make the Vita able to stream to your TV. The Vita isn't worth buying if you don't have to own it to play its games.
