If you remember playing PGA Tour as Mark O’Meara or Davis Love III then you may get a tad excited about this…

EA Sports has revealed gameplay features from the upcoming Rory McIlroy PGA Tour video game and it’s sure to impress fans of the former hit franchise. Why? Because it looks like the game is going back to its roots…

Take a look.

EA’s ‘next generation of golf’ is set to feature three different kinds of swing action, as well as a rake of upgrades to the various different courses, giving each one it’s own unique characteristics.

Thanks to the use of Frostbite 3, the traditional (and infamous) 30-seconds-per-hole load times are gone, and entire courses now load at once.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is set for release on July 14 this year. You can find out more about the game over on the official website, here.
