SyNET Entertainment Will Launch Shot-Online in the U.S. This August
SyNET Entertainment recently announced that it will make its retail videogame publishing debut in North America with Shot-Online this August. The game is a full 3D online multiplayer golf game to combine elements of true golf simulation and role playing together in one. Shot-Online will be available at retail outlets nationwide and will have an SRP of $29.99 USD.
The game has enjoyed a year-long beta/stress-testing phase in Korea, Japan, China and Australia with over 1 million community members participating to date. The beta-testers’ feedback enabled the game’s developer, OnNet, to tweak the game to improve gameplay. Through role playing, players can improve their character’s abilities and skill levels by consistently training (characters can level and grow in skill and capability) or by competing (Match/Stroke/Skins gameplay) against players of different skill levels.
Furthermore, players can enhance and enrich their experience when playing the game by participating in a variety of community events and quests, competitions, item exchanging, and the game’s buddy management and guild community (team competition) system. Players’ gameplay is affected by their skill level, title (this changes as player grows in skill level and experience), handicap, fatigue and experience rates, inventory, shopping activities, item exchanges, and monies deposited to their game account.
A hi-tech physics engine was used in Shot-Online to accurately recreate ball and course dynamics. With that, the golf balls behave as they should over the geography of a course. Combined with motion-captured golf swings from a Korean PGA golfer, players will experience the most spot-on feel golf swings, putting, chip shots, and other golfing actions.
Lastly, as a gallery, players watching a game played on Shot-Online will feel like they are watching a professional golf sportscast on television as the overall presentation offers numerous camera angles and a gallery mode that brings true realism to the game.
Key Shot-Online features include:
- Simple and intuitive game play
- Game currency for purchasing skill-enhancing items
- Gallery mode for reviewing great shots
- Extensive chat support
- Various camera angles for visual realism
- Application of real PGA Tour formality (Tour system marking player’s score & ranking)
