The article suggested practicing in front of a square box, but Cannon thought there had to be a better solution. It's a bit "aim here to win"-fun when it pays off, especially when making a comeback following a mistake, but not as gratifying as a great Rocket League passing play, where it feels like you and your teammates have a psychic bond.The Maryland, Virginia entrepreneur, and former rocket scientist for NASA who holds more than a dozen patents, from fiber optics to vacuum- sealable sandwich bags, has invented a device to help golfers launch balls further off the tee.Ĭannon hit on the idea after reading a story that detailed how a 45-degree angle - between the club and the ground - is the optimum angle for golfers to address the ball before teeing off. The best players might end up being those who can reliably hit the floating boost rings, which either launch your ball a long ways down the fairway or, if above the green, directly into the hole. There are probably some unreasonably efficient routes for ultra-skilled players to find, and I had a few fun little self alley-oop moments, like bouncing my ball off a tree to give myself a good angle for an air shot. I can see the same people who play modder-made Rocket League obstacle course levels getting into mastering Turbo Golf. You don't need anyone else near you to suck at golf. It's going to be something even more minor that they do to themselves, like missing their ball one time and having to awkwardly turn around and drive in a circle to line up a new shot, or punting the ball into the lip of a tunnel. You can interact with other cars by shooting rocket pickups at them-Red Shells, basically-but if anything is going to screw up someone's win, it's not going to be something as minor as a spinout. When you play against others in Turbo Golf Racing, their balls are semi-transparent to you, and you can't interact with them. Whenever a game tries to emulate Rocket League, annoying people like me go, 'It's alright, but I wouldn't play it for 1,000 hours.'
I'm all for more games bringing together rocket cars and ball sports, but even if you can get past how it feels almost but not quite like Rocket League, I'm not sure Turbo Golf Racing will do for car golf what Rocket League has done for car soccer.Ībove: My first hour in Turbo Golf Racing was challenging. I did eventually get over the feeling that I was in a hell designed for me by a bored Greek god, but if you don't have a Game Pass subscription, I'd suggest waiting and seeing how people get on with Turbo Golf Racing before spending $18 on the Steam early access version. Turning off my Rocket League brain to stop flying off the side of the course was a struggle. The toy-like vehicles in Turbo Golf Racing can jump and flip and fly like Rocket League cars, but everything is slightly slower, you can't dodge left or right (except by drifting and then dashing forward, ick), or air roll, and it's harder to stay airborne at all unless you transform your car into a glider, a boorish feature that should be saved for games that spell 'cart' with a 'k'.
The floaty ball that works so well in Rocket League is a disappointment in golf.
