Rolled my eyes at "Ronaldo edition" but didn't expect it to be the real Ronaldo!

 

[Shin]

That looks really Messi.

Hahaha, omfg...
Also there it is, PlayStation marketing deal...

 

[Jumeira]

THE GOAT IS IN THE GAME? WHAT?

Day One.

GOAT!!!! Along with Zidain

 

[Ninja Scooter]

They got best Ronaldo!

 

[Brazil]

The true Ronaldo. Nice.

 

[Savantcore]

Why are people saying it's the end of Messi when Reus was on the cover of FIFA 17? PES had Barca rights last year and for this year too.

 

[Alkastelca]

So Sony took EVERYTHING ?

Sony
-COD
-Destiny
-Star Wars
-Fifa


Microsoft
-Shadow of Mordor

lol

 

[MrS]

Day one

The injury prone Ronaldo. Nice.

FTFY

 

[Rösti]

Nothing about Switch on the site, whereas the PS3/360 Legacy editions have their own page.

lol EA

lol

AC is at Xbox.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

It's pre-fat Brazilian Ronaldo!

 

[sems4arsenal]

Looks like a visual upgrade as well. Frostbite putting in work.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Ronaldo Edition is a really misleading name because the standard edition also includes Ronaldo. The actual only difference is microtransaction money and 3 days early access.

lol

Sony has RDR2 as well.

MS has Assassin's Creed and another one.

 

[Brazil]

FTFY

We can only imagine the heights he could've reached if it wasn't so.

 

[WaterAstro]

Fat Ronaldo to come out and talk for 20 minutes at EA's E3 press conference.

 

[TheXbox]

I wonder what they would have done if Ronaldo had bottled the CL final.

 

[Yaari]

omg fat ronaldo. WANT

 

[uceenk]

i regretted to buy Fifa 17

i mostly played it offline, usually playing league (i don't even care about FUT and the likes), the thing is the AI defender in that game is too hard for my taste, it's almost imposible to past them

FIFA 15, is the last FIFA game that i really enjoyed

so i hope the gameplay on FIFA 18 would similar to FIFA 15, i will definetly play the demo first before decide to buy it

 

[SlipperyFishes]

EA Access is probably coming to PS4 now.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Sony has RDR2 as well.

MS has Assassin's Creed and another one.

Are you an insider?

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Games take time to make pal. It's been 3 years now, we're going to see these games at E3 and it's going to be insane

Giving up on all these marketing deals would make sense then yeah. But at the same time they DO get the new AC marketing deal. Overall it definitely would make sense not paying money for those deals so they can use that money on what truly matters. But are they? And are we going to see results Sunday?

 

[funkystudent]

Sony has RDR2 as well.

MS has Assassin's Creed and another one.

Madden is more then likely staying with Xbox since MS has that big deal to keep the NFL using Surfaces

 

[MrS]

We can only imagine the heights he could've reached if it wasn't so.

Truth. The man is still a true great though. Hope there's a Ronaldinho Icon card too. He was my favourite player when I was a nipper.

 

[Loris146]

Fat Ronaldo to come out and talk for 20 minutes at EA's E3 press conference.

Best show of all time then.

 

[SprachBrooks]

We can only imagine the heights he could've reached if it wasn't so.

Testament to the heights he reached even if he did suffer those––under any other circumstances––debilitating injuries. My favourite player of all-time.

 

[KingSnake]

This is one appealing edition, nice to see this.

Also, this is fully Real's year, even for Fifa.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

chill

you missed RDR 2

 

[VE3TRO]

Seems like Xbox still has legends, maybe PlayStation will have some exclusive legends instead.

sliders help a lot with AI defenders
I now can enjoy very offensive games where I can score loads of goals but also need to Watch by back because they're good with Attack (Legend)

 

[jrush64]

The real Ronaldo and Cristiano

 

[CalamityPixel]

That means a lot of E3 stage time in the Sony conference has gone to FIFA

 

[Theorry]

EA Access is probably coming to PS4 now.

Why is that?

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Are you an insider?

Nah, but...no comment.

True.

 

[Ghost]

So I guess whatever their deal with Microsoft is means Legends can never be on PS4?

Can't think why else they'd need 'Icon' cards.

17 was my least favourite since 04. they'll have to do something exceptional to pull me back.

 

[CosmicRomancer]

Yeah looks slightly improved but the lighting is off. It's way too dark.

 

[DominoKid]

PS4 has the legends now??? stop EA. i can only get so erect.

I played FIFA 17 at the weekend with the free trial and it was fucking abysmal. It looked nice but played like shit, all stop-start and jerky. No flow whatsoever. Plus it felt even MORE automatic than previous years. This franchise is deep in the toilet but still sells by the billion. It's maddening.

EA has mastered the jank/responsiveness/fuckery feedback loops in FIFA. that's why it is king. no matter how bad a game goes for you, you get to start all over in 15 minutes.

 

[Azzawon]

Seems like Xbox still has legends, maybe PlayStation will have some exclusive legends instead.

Yeah, according to this Xbox Wire article it does still have Legends. There may actually be some content parity for a change, which wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

 

[The Hermit]

Real Ronaldo Edition.

Há

It's true though, best player I've ever seen, even fat

 

[mreddie]

Jebus, Sony. Again, I assume this is because Sony got that marketing deal from UEFA and FIFA.

 

[Collateral22]

Btw, there was an update for FIFA 17 that accidentaly added certain players into the game
you could search for:

Ronaldo
Henry
Zidane
Beckham

and all existing legends on PS4.

 

[Salty Rice]

Great to see no fucking Messi.

Also everything was Playstation. RIP Microsoft.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

'Native 4K'. Just watch. Sony making all the right moves.

 

[jett]

Pretty clever to promote the game with both Ronaldos.

The real one is the one that won a world cup, of course.

 

[Collateral22]

Yeah, according to this Xbox Wire article it does still have Legends. There may actually be some content parity for a change, which wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

That's literally the same thing as written on PSBlog. Legends have been renamed as Icons from what I can gather.,

 

[Adam M]

The second attempt with Frostbite seems much better based on the teaser

 

[PrintedCrayon]

Please be good this year.

 

[Mubrik]

Yes!!!! As a Real Madrid and Ronaldo fan, I'll be picking up Fifa again and I hope it looks good too they've had a year now to put frostbite to work Unlike last year implementation.
