I am over-the-moon excited about the debut game from Three Fields Entertainment, comprised of Criterion founders Fiona Sperry and Alex Ward. Yes, the guys who made racing absolutely insane with the Burnout franchise are now back and ready to do the same thing, but this time with…golf? Yes! There is no sport more dangerous than golf, and so on June 3rd, Three Fields Entertainment will be releasing Dangerous Golf for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Above is a launch trailer to get you pumped.
Running on Unreal Engine 4, Dangerous Golf is intended to be less about the rules of golf and more about the rules of Burnout. Wreak havoc upon small indoor settings as you go from dining room to bathroom, trying to rack up as much damage as possible and (presumably) really displease the maid when they come in the next day. A lot fo the focus for the game seems to be on its physics engine, which seems to be working in overtime for this. My one concern is that the console versions will have framerate issues, but I would hope with a game that is so focused on destroying stuff it would take care in making sure it runs smoothly.
When Dangerous Golf was first announced, it was around the same time as a spiritual successor to Burnout was being teased. So hopefully after this, the team will start working on something more along those lines because I need to satisfy my road rage somehow.
