Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 Augusta Preview

There's a demo out too

Written by punkyliar on 07 March 12 at 16:07

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 will see the return of the world famous Augusta National Golf Club. Although the main course will be included in all editions of the game, the club's world-class Tournament Practice Facility and special Par 3 course will be some of the content included exclusively in the Collector's Edition. EA has provided an overview of Augusta's Par 3 course to try and tempt you to upgrade to the Collector's Edition.



Those of you who can't view the trailer can take a look at these screenshots instead:

These courses will be released as post-release DLC to owners of the standard edition, but a release date and price has not yet been announced. One thing that potential game owners can get their hands on right now is the game's demo. The demo is 1.71 GB in size and can be downloaded from here. As usual, the demo is exclusive to Gold Xbox LIVE members until March 13th.

Lead designer Mike DeVault takes his game room onto the Grand Cypress golf resort in a bid to explain why you should try it out. As well as being able to sample some of the game's new features, he reveals a special in-game reward that gamers will receive just for playing the demo.

I smell expensive DLC... and it doesn't look much different than last year.

Acceleretto said:It doesn't look much different from 2002 either.Well they haven't exactly changed the sport too much since then, but if you want them to throw in some armor abilities and new perks I don't blame you.

Anyway, I'll be giving the demo a download as usual though I doubt I'll be picking up the game. The course looks fantastic, not that that's anything new.
You seem a little furious...

Biggest omission for me - the demo does not have the '3 click system'. Hope the main game does, otherwise lots of old-fashioned gamers, like myself, will be alienated!
