Next-gen FIFA unveiled tomorrow @ #XboxReveal

Okay, I'm hyped.

I love FIFA, and seeing it on a next-gen engine will be awesome - and a good indicator of any power increase. Not to sound too optimistic, but seeing an established multiplatform title make the jump to next-gen is always interesting because of the gap between its present iteration and the upcoming release.

Watch it be a generic gameplay trailer now :[
 
FIFA 14 simply CAN'T be an exclusive for any console because of the contract, its impossible and it wouldn't make sense either.

But apparently they can skip Wii U? I don't think it's going to happen but it being next-gen exclusive for Xbox isn't entirely impossible.

Definitely don't think they'll do it though, doesn't make sense to let their competitors products to have a whole year on their own.
 
It shouldn't be downplayed that MS has the 2 of the biggest franchises in gaming at their reveal.


Then within 20 minutes after the show ends, it will be clarified the Nextbox only gets Exclusive DLC for both games and both games will release simultaneously on both next gen systems.....

It is anticlimactic to show off two annual release games at a new console reveal.....I was hoping for some new games or at least sequels, not these games...

Yeah I thought about this as well.

They probably can skip Wii U because it already appears on Ps3 and 360? Even the Gen3 version is not an exclusive at all. They dismissed Wii U in its entirety, labeling it futile and impossible to run their tech on (which is bs, I know). Perhaps they can make a FIFA not to appear when they take this approach.
 
Sony is FIFA's partner for all their championships, I doubt it will be exclusive.

Of course there will be a FIFA 14 for PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP and PSVita.
But why should they miss this opportunity to show their new version? It was always a multiplatform game.
 
fifa 13 was the bottom of the barrel for me and the fifa franchise...still the same idiotic IA,always the same importance of pacey players..still the same online problems ..even ultimate team is not fun anymore

they really..REALLY have to make something special to make me consider buy fifa 14

I actually stopped at 10.

That's after being a FIFA devotee from 94. Series has REALLY declined in quality for me.

For me, after FIFA World Cup 2010 it went downhill year after year. I'm solely talking from a gameplay perspective. I think the EA Canada team need to invest much more on balancing gameplay features. They introduce new features only to ruin or mess up already existing ones. I'm not bothered to go into detail as this isn't the proper thread for it but I do hope the new next gen engine resolves a lot of the issues emerged in the past few years.
 
I stopped playing football games altogether after PES5. I tried both FIFA and PES since and they were never really good imo. FIFA usually became shit after a week or 2, when I found out how to always score and how limited and broken the system actually is. Current-gen PES is just shit from the get go.

Yes FIFA became better from 08 onwards, but its not my type of game. PES3 and PES5 are.

Its too bad that there aren't more studios trying their luck. Worldwide Soccer had its charm, even TIF did.
 
hmm I forgot that the Fifa RTWC 06 was X360 exclusive. I thought it was released for the PS2/PC too in the older engine.
 
The mainstream masses who buy Fifa won't be watching tomorrow.

Why?

Several reasons ranging from not caring enough to watch, to not knowing the reveal is happening tomorrow. On Wednesday in the paper they will probably read a news article about Fifa 14. For the majority the standout point won't be the demo platform, it will just be Fifa 14. The game which already is advertised and available to pre-order for the 360, and PS3 in retail stores, and online.

This is why I wish MS would be surprising us with new games, and IPs tomorrow. Very few watching tomorrow need to be sold a new Fifa. We either like it or we don't. Same goes for COD.
This is the correct answer.

If only 2K give it a try.

This year is different though. Both FIFA and PES are having new engines, so I'm approaching them with much more optimism.
 
Last minute prediction for games.

I always thought there would be 2-3 games shown. Now we know Fifa and Call of Duty are two of them I would put my money on the next Forza being the third game at the conference tomorrow.

Sport , Shooter, Racing - the three most popular genres, represented by 3 of the biggest names.

They only have an hour and want to focus on the console, so the rest I imagine will be at E3.
 
360 missed out on regular FIFA 06 which had much more features. RTWC came a fair few months later, and was essentially a stripped down version. This had to do with the timing of the 360 release.

It seems that EA changed their strat though, next-gen FIFA 14 will likely be the same game even though the next-gen system won't be here by September already (I doubt they will be). Although I suspect there will be much less leagues in the next-gen version. Unless it will be minor upgrade from 13.
 
Microsoft knows where the gamers are. CoD and FIFA (plus a Halo teaser) and they have targeted 30+ million players with their reveal. The games Sony showed might be more interesting but they will be lucky if they reach 10 million gamers.

RTWC was a setup game for FIFA 06: World Cup (which did come to 360), not a replacement for FIFA 06
 
Next gen grass is going to look SICK!


But I predict something big between EA and MS. If it isnt exclusive games then its something bigger then exclusive DLC and Kinect support.

YOU LIE SIR!!! YOU LIE!!! You haven't played a modern FIFA title...anybody who has played a PS360 Fifa after 07 knows it

Halo aint happening, 4 just came out last year.
 
So two of the most boring and predictable games are gonna be shown tomorrow? I hope they just want to get this stuff out of the way so they can show actual new and interesting stuff. I know these are two of the biggest franchises in the world, but even non-gamers (who won't be watching the reveal anyway) have to agree that we want to see actual new exclusive games. I'm looking for a reason to buy the Infinite, or whatever they're calling it, and leading up to this I still haven't got one. I'll just wait and see until tomorrow I guess. It's gonna have to be pretty amazing at this point.
 
If PS4 won't launch in Europe this year, which is likely, FIFA 14 being only on the new Xbox this year isn't actually that far fetched.
Why is that likely? Personally i think it is just as likely that the Xbox 720 and PS4 will be released or delayed in Europe.

EDIT: Released in 2013 that is. Both systems will release in Europe sooner or later of course :)


Someone should just put one of those "Only on Xbox" logos on this:
I havnt followed the Xbox thread that much, but what is the "Only on Xbox" stuff in the avatars? People who only own a Xbox 360? Or people who only will get a Xbox 720?
 
I think Sony might think having GT6 for PS3 is enough for EU this year.
I'm not sure. I think GT6 will mainly cater to those who already got GT5, and i think Sony also believes this. This means that GT6 wont be much of a PS3 system seller.

I think the only reason why a european launch will be moved to 2014 instead of 2013 is because of production problems (as in, not able to produce enough units). I think this is something that both Microsoft and Sony faces equally.

EDIT: On 2nd thought, Xbox isnt really very popular in Japan, so Microsoft doesnt have to produce that much unit for Japan (unless they want to try a big push in Japan, but i'm not sure that will happen concidering how the Xbox and Xbox 360 sold there). But even so, i still think that both PS4 and Xbox 720 will be out in Europe in 2013.

to each their own, for me fifa 13 is the best fifa so far and i believe for a lot of people as well, just look at the sales of the game
