Recently EA Sports titles such as Madden and FIFA had begun using a specially designed game engine for its sports IP, Ignite.
PGA Tour will be the first EA Sports title to use the Frostbite 3 engine. The publisher said the tech would mean no loading times and fully rendered environments “that let you explore every inch of the course”.
The trailer also showed one fantasy-style course taking place during a naval battle, with battleships crashing into the course where the golfer was playing.
