I didnt see the green light of Natal could it be an XBLA title? Or just simply fake?

It's not Natal, if it was Natal then it wouldn't need that little power bar at the bottom of the screen, your power would just be your swing.

Theres no indication that this is going to be a "Natal" game.
There are a few Avatar games available, and there are more to come.
This reminds me of Hot Shots golf for some reason.

@Locifer: what does HOME have to do with any of this?

@1.1 "oh dear"

Right. because no one could ever want a inexpensive Xbox LIVE Golf Game with Avatar support. I'm pretty sure it will sell *VERY* well. Please, dont sound silly.

My thoughts?

This looks like the XNA Community Game Easy Golf.

http://catalog.xna.com/en-U...

XNA 3.0 Supports Avatars, and I imagine the Easy Golf Dev could easily put Avatars in Easy Golf with it.

So, not only is this A Good Thing, it's hardly a suprise.

This is most likely Easy Golf from the Indie Games section, the developer has said that he will use avatars for future titles.

1.11 - Not Bad
It looks like Hot Shots Golf so I think it'll be a retail title, not xbla.

They said that more games with avatar support was coming so this isn't unexpected.

1.12 - Well, if the term "Mii too" ever applied to anything...
...this would be it.

But still, that doesn't mean that it can't stand out on it's own; like how Heavenly Sword was very similar on the surface to GoW, but when you played the game, it was an entirely different feel and stood out on it's own.

It doesn't have anything to do with Natal, you can hear someone using a controller. Although it seriously wouldn't surprise me if they copied Nintendo again anyway.

Could easily be a 3rd party game, hell it could even be an XNA thing as it has Avatar support.

Cause people on this site like to point fingers and ridicule stuff when they yet to have all the details. That my friend is what you call a true fanboy. Well my thoughts it looks boring and it doesn't look well done so i am going to guess it is a XNA game.

6.1 - Natal Baseball?
Even more dangerous than Natal Golf.
I think I should start up a business making TV cages.

edit \/\/\/\/
Because Natal can map any object your holding and put it in the game.
Who's not going to use their own bats or clubs?

@Meerkat

As far as I know, u can map ur objects textures onto objects in game, but not use them, that is Patented by Sony, again, as far as i know.

Will the camera detect you are holding something and refuse to obey your command?
That would be a bit crap.

Ohhhhh....Maybe i missed something in the article that said MS made this game. Please copy and paste a quote from where it says that please. This is a XNA game i am pretty sure, looks way to simplistic to be anything else .

12 - all this anger
from seeing a 360 avatar playing golf. There have been a million golf games with cartoony graphics prior to the wii. In this case the cartoon character is one of our creation, but oh no its the end of the world. MS trash talk while conveniently forgetting that all three console makers rip each other off in terms of ideas, the list of them too long and boring to write.

Calm down, they are a company who try to make things that will sell.

i'm amazed that people get so pissed about games, remember that folks, just games.

i agree, only because they showcased a golf game it don't mean they are copying wii sports...

they will, however, if they launch a pack of casually made sports games, or if the games comes entitled as "MS golf" or such...

anyway, it's nothing to fret about, whats wrong with copying the best selled game of gamming history?

13 - Indie Game?
With Avatar support coming to Indie Games in the latest SDK isn't it possible that this is just someone's first stab at incorporating Avatars into their game? Did everyone just overlook that?
