Criterion Creators make a Dangerous Golf Game

Break lamps, smash priceless china, destroy a bathroom and don’t care about making par.

The creators of Criterion and fathers of Burnout are back with a new studio Three Fields Entertainment and have also announced a new game currently set to be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC digitally this May. While no price has been announced we have got a few screenshots to get us excited about what looks to be a very physics intensive game.

With over 100 holes in 4 unexpected locations, Dangerous Golf is as serious a golf game as Burnout was a serious simulation to driving games.

From the press release –

“In Dangerous Golf, players aren’t striving for Par or aiming for Birdie — they’re playing for dollar damage as their high score. As they progress throughout the game, players will not only be awarded points for trick shots and ricochet techniques, but they’ll also get rewarded for destroying stuff by turning their golf ball into a bomb and setting off their SmashBreaker. Destructive powers increase as the ball heats up, ensuring that the most elaborate shots are not only the most rewarded but the most impressive to watch.

The action takes place in a series of elaborate indoor and outdoor locations including a hotel kitchen, a glittering palace ballroom, a rural gas station and a stately medieval castle. Featuring turn-based play in both on and offline multiplayer, Dangerous Golf awards points based on destruction, encouraging players to get creative as they wreak havoc in an effort to increase their score.”

As a huge fan of arcade-style golf games, Dangerous Golf is on my radar now and hopefully on yours as well.
