FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil: Why You Should Care

No next gen. No buy.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil: Why You Should Care

Yeah I will be getting it for ps3. If it came out for PS4 I was going to buy a PS4 to play it on that since 2010 is still my favorite FIFA. But I can see their not being a user base to support making two futbol/soccer games in a year on next gen.

If they add every single national player to UT in next gen then at least people could play with any country (main reason I really like the WC games) but I don't see that happening.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil: Why You Should Care

Another thing that could be added is that most of the stuff that are on the World Cup games don't translate in future iterations of FIFA like licensed kits, stadiums and head coaches which is frustrating because EA doesn't take advantage of them.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil: Why You Should Care

Completely inexcusable that this game is not available on next-gen.

I also find it hard to understand, as Ermoli said, why this stuff can't be carried over to the iteration that is released every year. Why not just include a World Cup mode?

Re: FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil: Why You Should Care

licensees? Venues? Etc. They could have been working on this game since before the consoles were announced or released?

it cost money to make a game, for licensing, etc.... I dont under why its so hard to understand no next gen yet and why its such a big deal? countless of other games have been delayed etc.

the next gen is just getting started, not like they stood much too lose lol they have 200 million current gen users to please and make their money, they know you will all buy the 2018 world cup game lol

But if it's licensed, it is already licensed. They have the ability to use it.

In regards to the development of the game, the engine/audio/art is already there. They could have made it for next gen and scaled it down.

Moving forward next gen is where their bread will be buttered, so not getting the game to PS4/XOne is puzzling.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil: Why You Should Care

Weird business? there is over 200 million ps3 & 360s out there, only around 6 million xbox ones and ps4, who cares....



Its not worth them to pay the money to make it, and if they had a finished product or something worthy of releasing im sure they would.

You could say the same about Madden, Live and FIFA but they still came out next gen.

It is licensed specifically for the World Cup game. It is not licensed in any way, shape, or form for the yearly FIFA game.

That is what I mean. It was being used as that was the excuse as to why the World Cup iteration didn't make it to next gen.

The carrying over to future releases was a separate topic.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil: Why You Should Care

Would've bought it if I could play it on PS4, but I can't. Disappointed to say I won't be buying it.

Must say i'm really looking forward to WC 2014, i loved playing through the tournament multiple times back in 2010 even playing every game of the tournament in one save. Not sure whether I will purchase the game at release as I normally like to wait for the domestic season to finish first as I struggle to get into WC mode until the media hype machine comes into full force but I will definitely be getting it by the end of May.

I thought the gameplay in 2010 was great and i'm expecting it to be again. Add in the presentation which is normally great in the WC games and I think we'll be in for a real treat. Even the commentary team of Clive and Andy which I don't particularly enjoy on tv works really well in the WC games.

Also glad we have a full game rather than the dlc release for Euro 2012 which I thought was really poor.

[lonestarr022]

i think the reason it's not on next gen is because of the game's value is a very small window. Once the world cup ends, you'll probably see this game for cheap on eBay.

[lonestarr022]

That is true for next gen but the lack of a pc release goes counter to that argument. I am curious if that means EA is already transitioning pc to the ignite engine and the complexity and variation of that engine compared to current gen is the reason its not created for next gen and pc or if they are planning to abandon it all together.

It'd be great if they released a pc version, but if it would have been anything like the euro 2012 addon, it would not have been worth it, that version was horrible.

How many teams won't have the correct kit, that's my question.

Patience has paid off for me so far. I've been able to resist the urge to get a NG console for the time being. As WC 2014 proves, there is still a lot of life left in the ol' PS3 and 360.

Pretty sure all teams will have their kits, at least that was the case with the last World Cup game. If I were EA I would release this game at 40 or 50 bucks to make up for the game not being available for next gen.
