Fifa 09

[Dr. Pepper]

It's a big thing to say, in the sense that it's a very important part of EA's marketing for the FIFA series.

In my opinion FIFA had better gameplay aswell for 08.

And here's some news on PC version, that looks very promising:

A whole ton of new PC screens:

Actually, scrap that. This is a much better collection:

I don't like the colour of the pitch, compared to the console versions. It just doesn't look natural, hopefully, it can be modded.

The PC screens still look crap. Wheres the 360 and PS3 screens?

Those videos look brilliant. I love how the players aren't all fat and chunky anymore.

Look at 2:18 on video 2 though; so much for no cutbacks.

Gameplay videos of the console versions.

Also, I don't know what speed this is at but the game will have three settings for speed - slow, medium or fast - one of them is bound to be good .

I like the look of the Arsenal goal on the second vid, it wouldn't have been possible on FIFA 08 because it was from one of the positions where if you aim for the far corner it was always saved.

I remember that super fast setting you could buy in PES Shop in PES 6 or 5. I only played on that for 2 weeks lol.

The video link is taking its time to load. I'll give my-not cared about -feedback after i've seen it.

The game looks a lot smoother which is good. I'm liking it so far. The power bar for passes is also good. I've only seen the first video and it looks much better than FIFA 08. From that video I would buy it .

The falls look amazing and so does the first touch.

I wouldn't say crap, but they sure as hell haven't pushed the PC as far as they've pushed the consoles.

Interview with Paul Hossack, PC Fifa 09 producer:

I have to say, I'm more hopeful now. I especially like the sound of the collision system, it should make the game more unpredictable.

As I said before somewhere, all I want to see is a few improvements to the gameplay of Fifa 08 and significant improvements to the gfx.

Edit: If PC Fifa 09 is half decent, I'm sure anyone who buys it will want to know about this:

By the sounds of it, you can add whichever stadiums, leagues/anything else you want! So you could have a unique stadium for each team for example.

I'm keeping my current opinions to myself until I get my hands on the demo and run it full on. Till that time, I don't know what's the truth and what's lies.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

The FIFA 09 producer is going to say stuff to get people's hopes up though, they aren't going to say anything bad about their own game.

I always take these interviews with producers with a pinch of salt and wait until I see the game in motion on videos or play the games (demo or full game) to form opinions on whether I like them or not - The demo of FIFA 09 (console versions anyway) is September 11th, under a month away, and the PES demo will probably come out around release.

I also wouldn't trust game reviews at all now, they are too influenced by the game developers themselves in my opinion - for example, GTA getting almost universal 10/10s (good game? yes perfect game? no - 10/10 = perfect, therefore 10/10 for GTA IV = wrong) and PES 08 getting any sort of decent score is wrong. Also, IGN have advertising boards in PES (did in 08 anyway), so I would definitely steer clear of trusting their score and review.

I've noticed that PC Gamer always give PES a good score and Fifa a rubbish score, for example. I might stop getting the magazine altogether and save a few quid!

Edit: You've got to admit, that Creation Master tool looks excellent!
