What sets Outlaw Golf apart from other golf games?
Mike Taramykin: Well besides the obvious things like, strippers, convicts, and beatings, I would say that Outlaw Golf is unique in that it is the first golf game to incorporate the mental aspect of the sport. Whereas other games have concentrated exclusively on the physical aspects (such as swing power and accuracy) we have developed a Composure System that simulates the effects that a player’s state of mind would have on his or her game. Just like in real life, when you are playing well it seems that the shots practically make themselves. But once you start slipping, then you are just as likely to play against yourself as you are your opponents. That’s a very fundamental aspect of real golf, and we tried very hard to incorporate it into Outlaw Golf. And oh yeah, did I mention the strippers, convicts, and beatings? IGN: How did you get Steve Carell to do the announcing and can you talk a bit about the voice over process? MT: Well we were thinking really hard about the kind of announcer
