Grab your clubs and get ready to tee off! I am thrilled to announce that ZEN Studios is applying the same battle-tested ball physics engine from the acclaimed ZEN Pinball to bring you the PlayStation Network exclusive Planet Minigolf. What does that mean for you? Expect an exciting new standard in golf action combining stunning 3D graphics and smart play with true-to-life physics, including precisely calculated ball dynamics.
Aspiring to be the best all-around golf experience, we’ve built in a deep single-player campaign that transports players to several exhilarating courses around the world and comes loaded with six customizable characters, remarkable cartoon-style visuals and a daunting 144 unique holes packed with a variety of hazards and interactive objects.
In addition to the single player campaign, we have also included a full suite of multiplayer options – from a local hotseat mode to regular weekly tournaments and worldwide competitions where players can battle it out to see whose nation reigns supreme.
That’s all for now, but we’ll have more exciting news hitting over the next couple of weeks – including a more in depth look at the games online and customizable features.
Zsolt, you never cease to amaze me. Could be a day 1 purchase.
Sounds promising!!
Good to hear about local multiplayer, that’s a feature commonly missing on new games these days!
yep, sounds kool
this sounds fun..im not really into golf but im a HUGE FAN of MINI GOLF..lol..IF the graphics a re creative and fun AND it has off AND ONLINE multiplayer AND the price is RIGHT..I WILL GET IT!
interesting. :)
Yah, this is what I bought by PS3 for..
ok I JUST READ the ENTIRE article..and ITS A MUST HAVE FOR ME..LMAO..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ZEN..YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT :p
Alright sony i see you!!
this looks kind of stupid. I’ll stick to Tiger Woods 2010
“Ball physics” may need to become my new catchphrase :P
Seriously, enjoyed the pinball and haven’t played minigolf in ages, so I think you can count on a sale here.
Sounds cool, but would like to see a video…
How do the trophies look for this game?
I think this was previously called Alien Sports Minigolf right? I heard about it somewhere ages ago, not sure where now. Thought it must have been canned.
Huge question if you’re answering. Will you patch this game to use the playstation motion wand controller when its released? If you do so, you can bet your bottom dollar you have a plus one sale.
Looking forward to this, especially if it’s designed with the same high quality as your pinball games.
how much is this going to cost?
How many players for multi-player offline can play?
That just sounds great. Is this going to be a Q4 release or will it be next year?
darn you hit my golf soft spot :)
Awesome Cant wait! Love some Zen Pinball! If this has the same level of polish and visuals I’m all over it day one!!!!
some screenshots please :)
Lame. How about dissidia, that isn’t lame you know whatelse it isn’t? On PSN.
Interesting… a screenshot would be nice :)
I’ve been waiting for a good mini-golf game for a long time, but disappointment after disappointment has imparted me with the knowledge that I shouldn’t get my hopes up.
Still, with ZEN Studios behind the wheel… but no, no, no… learn from history, JQ.
Yep…same question as 15….any idea if you’ll be able to incorporate the Sony ‘Sphere’ tech?
I was hoping that HSG would bring thier minigolf over but this’ll be here first and may get my $.
Sounds awesome!
At one time my classmates nominated me as “most likely to become a professional mini golfer.”
Could be good. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll ask #10 for pics/videos since he already know it looks stupid.
Will this be available for the PSP also? I would love to play me some mini golf.
Can’t wait for some screen shots and video on this title.
Date and Price?
I love mini golf man. I wish you would have included pictures or a video :( :( :( :(
Looking forward to this! Zen pinball wasn’t my cup of tea, but was still a great pinball game. If you can put a minigolf game that’s that solid this should be a Day 1 purchase for me.
yes.. maybe this will help me out of my tiger woods 10 depression.
Mini-golf is not Pinball.
yeah a video wouldve bin GREAT but a due date would’ve been FANTASTIC! ;p
Just curious, did you guys experiment with the motion sensing (Sixaxis) at all? It would sound like it could work but I’m no developer.
Just curious, did you guys experiment with the SIXAXIS controls at all? Or maybe even the new motion controller.
I could see it working on a minigolf game.
Sounds good. I’ll be looking forward to trying it out
Sounds good. I’ll be looking forward to trying it out.
what about custom soundtracks, create a player and 4 player split screen play?
ok this sounds interesting but i would want to know how much will it cost? and also how the game is going to look like? hope to see some screens soon
timed? or a true exclusive?
I’d like a Hot Shots Golf on PSN.
This is awesome news. I’ve been waiting for a cool mini golf game.
Nioce i’ve been waiting my whole life for a psn mini golf game
Cool! I’m hopeful, as there hasn’t been a decent console mini-golf game IMO. Hot Shots Golf doesn’t have crazy hole designs (anthill, windmill, loop-de-loops, brightly colored carpets, rubber mats, concrete barriers, etc.). That Xbox Live mini-golf– 3D Ultra mini-gold– had awful course designs and tried to be too realistic with their fantasy elements.
Can you add the option to listen to our own music tracks off the hard drive– but played through a scratchy speaker just like the ones mini-golf courses used to have?
I’m curious, looks good.
I’m a sucker for mini golf, will be getting this
I support Minigolf games, and I have hopes this one is good. Too many of them turn out horrible, though, so I may have to reserve judgment.
Customizable characters doesn’t seem like a huge draw to me, I’d rather have a course editor and more interactive environments. And of course, the true staple of any good minigolf (including Real life) is that every hole allows for a possible hole in one (no matter the difficulty of said shot).
Anyway, looking forward to seeing more.
