John Daly set to crack into video game arena

Golf fans rejoice, there will soon be competition in the video game market. O-Games announced today that it will release John Daly’s ProStroke Golf for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC this fall.

The game is being developed by Gusto Games. With the slogan “Grip it and Rip it,” and legendary golfer John Daly at the helm, it sounds like the Tiger Woods franchise finally has some competition

“John Daly is the perfect golf player for our game; ProStroke’s control system is all about control, precision and power, and nobody backs that up better than John. In addition to his talent, his eccentric style and great personality make him the perfect partner for ProStroke Golf,” said Jim Scott, CEO of O-Games. “Our game delivers an authentic yet fun-to-play golfing experience for players, and there’s no better way to light up the course than with the legendary John Daly.”

The game will feature the ProStroke control system that allows players to shape and control real golf shots, which O-Games says is something never before seen in a golf game. The game will also feature fully licensed courses which John Daly has played on, along with different game modes, realistic golf physics, and commentary from the famous voices of golf.

“John Daly’s Prostroke Golf is a great golf game that everyone can play and enjoy,” said PGA legend John Daly. “For too long, the golfing genre has been dominated by one franchise, but with ProStroke Golf’s great gameplay, control scheme and realism, that’s all about to change. I’ve had the time of my life gripping and ripping it on the PGA Tour, and now gamers everywhere can see what it’s like to step into the Lion’s Den and bomb it down the fairway!”

Look for John Daly’s ProStroke Golf this fall.
