FIFA 14’s New Features Outlined
 

At today’s Electronic Arts E3 press conference, the company outlined changes coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One iterations of FIFA 14, set for release this fall.

According to EA Sports, FIFA 14 is the “most authentic football game in history,” one that strives for realism not only in terms of the play on the pitch, but in the stands as well. The company promises that the “stadiums are alive” and that the crowd’s energy, and how it affects the players on the field, is tangible.

The company also promises “massive gameplay innovations” that allow players to act more intelligently. Players react via four times more calculations per second (relative to previous FIFA games), promising new features embodied in buzz terms like “precision movement” and “elite technique.”

It is important to note that only the Xbox One and PS4 versions of FIFA 14 will use the new Ignite engine that enables these features. Current-gen and PC versions will be iterative updates of the existing technology.

Which EA game, if any, are you most excited for?

 

Since RPG is my favourite genre I'd really like to see more about Inquisition, I fear it will be another DA2 though. Mirror's Edge is also interesting to me and we know almost nothing about both these titles :lol:.

my reaction to battlefront and BF4 commander mode:

[EChondo]

Not interested in the slightest.

 

It's EA for crying out loud, not supporting them at all.

DICE is the developer, EA is the publisher, sure i don't like them for what they've done with C&C but this is a huge deal. Besides, EA is under new management so we'll see what gives..if they rush DICE to lauch Battlefront to soon and give us a unfinished broken game..then it's war. But you have to admit that they actually listened to the crowd; there was a HUGE demand for a new battlefront and DICE is delivering, as well as mirror edge 2 and Battlefield 4 with naval warfare (i've not seen any destroyers but i f*cking hope there are some) and they added a new destruction model 'levelution' (leveling skyscrapers in MP I mean common', that's ballin')  as well as Commandermode (first appearance was in BF2). If you are a BF-fan&veteran, then yes this is HUGE. otherwise..idk lol

I love Battlefield to death, but BF3 was a MAJOR let down, especially now they are forcing DLC down our throats 5 months in advance.

 

I also love Battlefront, but I'm more of a KotOR fan and look at how bad they fucked up that series.

 

I'm going to wait on Mirror's Edge Two. Number one was an amazing game for what it was at the time and hopefully number two is just as good, but I do not trust EA at all after they have messed up four of my favorite franchises(Dead Space being the other one).

I know that feel bro but we can't do anything about those thing (maybe not buying the stuff), BF3 wasn't that bad but the 'to-soon' release with major bugs caused it to be a let down..and the single player missions could be much better..I love SP and that could make or break a game for me imho. I enjoy playing it online but it does indeed miss certain things...I hate dlc's as well but EA is not the only one doing this, 2K games; Ubisoft, ..all have 'season passes' and tryarch/infinity Ward have 'map packs'. The problem here is that when one company starts with it and is makes a huge profit with it, all the other company's are going to do the same..I hate this but it's just the awfull truth.

Which is why I'm not buying into this crap. I don't mind DLC, but only when it's practical. Borderlands 2 has amazing DLC and I purchased every single one of them and played them all to death. I'm a major SP guy, my favorite game of the decade so far is Fallout 3 and I am HOPING that Bethesda announces some sort of Fallout game at this E3.

 

I don't buy into hype and neither should anyone else.
