Now that this week’s humpday is done and over with, we are but a working-day (and then some) away from the glorious freedom that is the weekend. I for one, plan to take some time soak in some rays and join a couple of Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds tourneys using the new Oceania course and perhaps maybe some Highland CC action as well.
But enough of my plans… lets talk Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds update, and particularly about the blog post for each update… which among other things, usually had a comment such as this:
So is there never going to be a US demo of this game? I’m not dropping $60 on a game I’ve never played before.
or one of these:
Will the demo of this become available on the US store as well? And if so, when?
Really want to play this game, but would love to get the demo first.
or sometimes something like this:
Is there going to be a demo of Hot Shots Golf for those that would like to try it in order to make a decision if they want to buy it?
Well, for all of you that so patiently waited for the Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds Demo, this one goes out to you: as of today, Thursday, June 26, 2008, all North American users can now download the HSG:OOB Demo from the PSN store!
The demo is quick in-depth sample of the Hot Shots Golf experience. You’ll be able to start off with beginner character Jasmine, perfect the new advanced swing system and graduate onto intermediate player Felipe. If you’ve got a friend about, just jump into the offline multiplayer option (max 2 players) and hit the links.
So now, with the demo being released, you’re weekend should no longer be plan-less. Here’s how I see it playing out:
– Thursday: Play demo with Jasmine; perfect character and new advanced swing system
– Friday: Perfect Felipe; buy Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
– Saturday: Build up your favorite character’s loyalty
– Sunday: Get online and join a couple of tournaments; dominate the competition.
Looking forward to seeing you guys online!
Even though I already own this game and love it, I’m glad you guys are giving people the opportunity to download the demo and get a feel of the game before they buy it. Make sure you guys keep up the good work. I also wanted to ask you if you plan on releasing a patch to allow custom soundtracks. I’d love to play music from my PS3’s HDD while playing Hot Shots. It would be an excellent feature which would only add to the gaming experience.
I’ve been waiting for this. Glad I’ll finally be to finally test the game out later
Whew, glad to finally see a demo. Whew, glad I didn’t wait on it.
Hey guys, I played the HSG:OT2 demo. I really like the way you pickup the extra costumes in their. I won’t spoil it for everyone. It’s much better than playing a tourny and only get awarded a dang caddy custome or something. I’m after clubs and balls!
Thanks for a great series guys.
Now for the wants:
Anyway we can get some alt shot gameplay? Or a 4man bestball game play?
I’ve been waiting for a demo for this game. I only played a demo of a PS2 version many many moons ago. Heard that this one was good, but as a comment you quoted said, dropping $60 for a game you’re not sure about is risky.
While you guys are doing updates to this game, can we beg for Youtube video upload functionality to be integrated for those replays? I’d love to export my best replays from my videos list to Youtube videos for showing off to friends online.
Great game. Love the new course too!
thats really lame… the one time i get first they take it off… sheesh..
Why don’t people just download the demo off the EU store? That’s what I did.
ok, i definently thought this game looked intresting, but i never thought about actually buying it. mainly because its a golf game, how can it possibly be fun? but for some reason i heard its a great game… time to test it out with the demo, i wish the US update isn’t so late in the freaking day!

Maybe if your post had more content other than,
First!
It would have stayed first.
Hey, any chance we can get voice chat online? Golf is a social sport. We hush when someone’s taking a swing and critique everyone afterwards. I say in the user created rooms only would be awesome. No need for it in the 50p tourneys.
Can’t wait to give it a spin! I played the PSP version like crazy.
Mr Chris Hinojosa-Miranda i will download the demo today if MGS4 and MGO let me.
Sincerely Fersis.
Awesome! I’ll check it out.
Hopefully people enjoy the demo and join us for some games once they buy it. :D
I’ve actually played the hell out of both the JP and EU demos for the game. I’m guessing this is the same as the EU demo? Either way, still a title I need to pick up as the demo was just plain fun and me and my cousins enjoyed it.
Wow!! Thank you so much! I’ve been waiting to try it, since I hear the full game is fun. Now I can make up my own mind! Wonderful! :D
YESSSSS!!!! GREAT!!! Thanks a lot! I was wondering what the game looked like, and now I’ll see it. I’ll download this… NOW! :D See ya! :D
Cool I have been looking forward to the demo HSG PS3 version, I really in enjoy the PSP demo of HSG it is a blast. It might sway me to go pick this game up.
Thanks. Definitely going to check this one out.
Sweeeeeetttttt!!! :)
thanks so much i love online multiplayer Demos ill download it today and ill try to get away from MGS4 and MGO for a little bit
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! :)
Hey EVS, want to clarify something: the demo does not have any online multiplayer functions. It is strictly an offline experience.
