Three Fields Entertainment, a studio born from former members of the Burnout franchise development team, just announced their new game today. It features much of the destruction and mayhem they're used to delivering to us but instead of a car, you'll be using a golf ball.Dangerous Golf challenges players to cause as much destruction as they can across 100 holes with various non-traditional locations.
It’s as serious a golf game as Burnout was a serious simulation to driving games. We wanted to mix the attitude of Burnout with the destruction of Black whilst setting the golf ball on fire — a nod to NBA Jam. This type of gameplay is part of our DNA, and something we think our fans will truly enjoy.
In Dangerous Golf, players aren’t striving for Par or aiming for Birdie — they’re playing for dollar damage as their high score. As they progress throughout the game, players will not only be awarded points for trick shots and ricochet techniques, but they’ll also get rewarded for destroying stuff by turning their golf ball into a bomb and setting off their SmashBreaker. Destructive powers increase as the ball heats up, ensuring that the most elaborate shots are not only the most rewarded, but the most impressive to watch.
The action takes place in a series of elaborate indoor and outdoor locations including a hotel kitchen, a glittering palace ballroom, a rural gas station and a stately medieval castle. Featuring turn-based play in both on and offline multiplayer, Dangerous Golf awards points based on destruction, encouraging players to get creative as they wreak havoc in an effort to increase their score.
Dangerous Golf may be a fun, silly golf game, but it’s one that was created with a serious technical edge. Our team worked closely with both Epic’s Unreal Engine 4 team and Nvidia to not only push the boundaries of their PhysX, Apex Destruction and Flex technologies, but also to deliver a truly physics based game experience.
As such, players will enjoy causing amazing destruction by smashing thousands of physically simulated rigid body valuables, shatter priceless heirlooms into small pieces and paint the environments with physically simulated liquids.

I can also totally see this being a F2P game with microtransactions for iOS and (much much much further down the line) eventually Android. If this doesn't get ported to iOS by a year after its release, I'd be confused. Android? Maybe 2018. Maybe.
I can still see this being a game for pubs though. Especially the beer arcade machine. Right now, I think all we have is a fighting game that dispenses beer. We could use some variety.
