![]() ![]() ![]() I absolutely run through all those things. I wouldn’t say I’m completely into it, but I certainly enjoy the laziness of new technology and always have.Īnd with Tiger Woods games expanding to Facebook and to mobile devices do you play those versions? It’s just amazing that you can have something that small to be able to do so many different functions and have it user-friendly and that my 3-year-old can pick up my iPhone or iPad and type in my code and go to what game he wants to play and what app he wants to use. What’s your favorite gadget that you can’t live without? We were giving each other a quite a bit of grief the entire time and it was fun to catch up. No, we were basically messing with each other. He was just messing around, doing all his moves and happened to do a side kick and kicked a monitor, which was an expensive mistake.ĭid you guys have time during the shoot to play any video games? He’s so athletic, and what people don’t realize about that spot is that he broke a TV on set. He’s probably one of the greatest centers that ever played the game and to have him do the moves that he did for the game at that size is quite remarkable to see. He’s a phenomenal athlete, as we all know. I’ve seen him around because I used to live in Orlando and he’s actually a member of the same club that I used to live at and see him around, but I haven’t seen him in a little bit and you just forget how big he is. What was it like working with Shaq on that new kung fu viral video? It’s just amazing as to how fast this has all come about in the last few years. You can change clubs and ask for caddy advice … all these different things that are now a part of it. What’s it like for you to actually talk to the Kinect in this game? Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 introduces voice commands. They’re able to create that type of realism. How they’re going to lay out the golf courses within 6 millimeters of Augusta National is quite phenomenal because I have all the greens charted in my books that I use each and every year.Īnd to hit putts at Augusta and then go on to the game and hit the same putt, and I know it breaks three inches, and it breaks three inches in the game is just phenomenal. Quite a bit, because I try and make suggestions on how we can make the game better, how can we make the game more realistic, how can we make it so that it’s what we see, what we play on real golf courses. How involved are you when it comes to the development of these games each year? You don’t care why.īut now being a part of the game and representing EA, it’s incredible to see the man hours that it takes and the detail that we have to put into it to make the game better each and every year. When you’re a gamer as a kid, you just play it. I’m certainly no computer programmer, that’s for darn sure, but I understand how complicated it really is. I think that’s amazing to see how far gaming has come in such a short span of time.Īs someone who’s played games your whole life, what have you learned about game development from working on these games? The swing is identical to ours, and now with the whole Kinect, now we’re actually moving our bodies. This is my 15th year doing it and to see from the early days before mo-cap (motion-capture), where it was just a swing that they put on, to the mo-cap, to now in the game where there’s actual facial movements that we have to do. How have you seen games advance just during the course of time that you’ve worked on these Tiger Woods video games? And to see the realism that they have now and the facial recognition is just amazing, the body language and the movements. The real awesome game at the time was Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Space Invaders, or games of that nature. What are your thoughts on how far games have come since then? It was fun because I grew up on Atari 2600, and that was the game console at the time and it became the 5200 and then I think Nintendo came out with theirs and kind of moved on from there. What video games did you play growing up? ![]() In this exclusive interview, Woods talks about his love of video games, how his new game compares to playing the Masters and teaming up with future NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal in the kung fu viral video, “Duel of the Masters.” Of late, Woods has shown a sense of humor when it comes to promoting Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13, the first game to incorporate Kinect voice commands and controller-free gameplay into the franchise.
