Could golf be over as we know it?
In the last few years the gaming industry has grown immensly and it seems the problem with a lot of sports like golf and tennis is that you only watch them if you actually play the game. How close are the comuter games compared to the real sports? Do you really get any excercise at all from playing the sport in this way? The best way to put it is . . . perhaps. Obviously if you are buying say a golf game for the 360 or PS3 it is not going to do anything apart from save you money on one of those electric golf trolleys.
The only real aspect of the golf game that you are going to lose out on if you were to purchase a computer game on the Wii is the waking part. A lot of the pro's in golf do not bother to even walk the course as it is so how much are you really missing out on. With game developers keen to keep making the sporting games as realistic as possible the Wii is able to take advantage especially from this using its motion control way of playing games. When you are playing games on the Wii like golf and tennis it really does feel like you are playing the real thing at certain moments, the same is true for all sports in which you use your hands. With the new attachment for the Wii due out later this year motion sensing technology will advance further. This is a big problem for sport as the new technology is going to enable games to be made to be even more realistic than some of them are now. Is this really making any difference at all? It's a great way to save some pennies in the long run if you cant afford to go out and pay to play the sports. Every time you want to play a round of golf all you have to do is turn on the console.
Personally I love games, but I think that they should stick to making the games that people that play them like and leave the sporting ones out of it. It would be a great shame to see the people who start up playing sports and become big starts to decline due to the fact games are becoming ever more realistic and more entertaining.
So next time your stuck between going out in the rain for a round of golf or plugging in the Wii for a bit of a game, stop and think, the real thing is always better so charge up those golf batteries and get playing!
