I wanted to pop in to apologise about how quiet we have all been. Its been a whirlwind 8 months and there has been so much to do. While I really cannot divulge too much information let me provide you all with what I can.
1) Our work on PG2 continues apace and we have been able to add a couple of people to the team. PG2 will become the core of all our work with TM.
Beyond that until we have got further down the road (we are moving quicker now) it is hard for me to get into too much detail. I hope you all understand that we cannot comment on too much.
It took the 4 of us (Ivan Mike Brian and I) a long time to get PG1 out and PG2 is not just a re release of PG1 with some added features it is a whole new engine built from the ground up so it is going to take us just as long (maybe a little less with some additional resources). Our initial goal is to get PG2 to the same place as PG1 from a functionalily perspective before moving on to other areas. So please no questions about Career Mode.
The Trackman Simulator was released a week or so ago so and we have been doing a lot more broadcast TV work. You can check out our stuff during the Players both on the Golf Channel and NBC
But so you know that we are all alive, and continuing to work on PG2 I thought I should post a little message.
All the best... Andrew
Some interesting opions here. No basis in fact but interesting anyways. AJ has been testing PG2 with a controller so that's already implemented in code....
They haven't said anything, that just the point!
We received a few screenshots of PG2 months and months ago and nothing really since.
Just because you don't like the content of what they said....... doesn't mean they didn't say anything.
Maybe I am naive but I learned:
1) PG2 will be core in the work for TM.
2) PG2 is a rewrite not a re-release
3) Don't expect new features in first release, we need to get it to PG1's level first.
4) Career mode not a priority
5) They are alive and development of PG2 continues
6) PG2 is CURRENTLY being tested
7) Despite some people worrying about controller not being supported due to coding effort, the code already exists and is being tested.
So you may have already known all that but I did not and I appreciated the update. But I might be too easy to please. He could have simply said, we are alive and PG2 continues development, nothing new now and I would have been happy.
Am I worried about PG2 locking my use out? Absolutely, I use a non-TM launch monitor, I am worried they won't support my preferred way to play PG2. I am also one of those that thinks that PG1 is near perfect for my uses. There are some odd bugs like green some not working properly, no best ball format (really miss this one for Ryder Cup type events), and some short game physics that aren't perfect (likely only a sim issue and not pc). However, I own 3 golf sim software packages and PG gets it the best and closest to real golf. I can't wait to see what they have next and hope I don't get left behind by my "controller" of choice just like I hope the 3 click and controller crowd does not as well. The more people using it the better!
