FIFA 08 heading to PS3, Wii

FIFA 08 will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC, PS2, DS, PSP and mobile this autumn, Electronic Arts said today.

Ronaldinho will be on the cover, with the likes of Sergio Ramos and Miroslav Klose also cosying up to EA for promotional purposes.

It's also the first time that FIFA will have appeared on either PlayStation 3 or Wii.

The stars involved - also including Frenchmen Frank Ribery and Florent Malouda - are currently doing a bit of body motion-capture in Barcelona.

EA aims to capture "the body movements, individual moves and playing style of each athlete" so that we'll be able to enjoy the benefits in the autumn.

"The access, guidance and insight they give us means that FIFA 08 will create a next gen experience that not only looks authentic, but that captures the emotion, finesse and beauty of the game," says producer Joe Booth.

FIFA will thrash PES, says EA

EA is feeling as confident as ever about the yearly FIFA vs PES battle as FIFA 08 and PES 7 prepare to do battle for another season.

 

"I'm happy to say that we're comfortably on top in the whole FIFA vs Pro Evolution Soccer battle," marketing manager Dan Holman told UK trade mag, MCV. "Our market share has kept on increasing over the past three years, and more and more core gamers are being converted to FIFA all the time."

 

The bullishness doesn't end there either. "We've sold 1.7 million copies of the last FIFA and Pro Evo is lagging behind on just over a million," continued Holman, adding, "With the new platforms in place, we're confident that we will attract even more football fans to FIFA - both existing gamers and the wider, non-gaming football community."

 

We expect the new FIFA 08 game to be revealed any time soon.

I'm watching a video of Alessandro Faiolhe Amantino Mancini scoring for Roma against Lyon in the Champions League. EA's Joe Booth turns it off and says: "We want to give the user that kind of freedom to improvise." Since you couldn't be bothered to click on the video link above even after I went and bloody well found it for you, he means that you should be able to feint right from standing, feint left, step-over right, feint left, step-over right, step-over left, step-over right, exit to the defender's left and put the ball into the roof of the net from six yards, all within one fluid, exacting motion that remains completely under your control. What's brilliant about FIFA 08 is that you actually can do that, it blends logically into the game, and it looks bloody amazing.

For the lazy people who just want to know certain things...

 

Tricks are back in the game.

"It was a button combination and a canned move, and we wanted something a bit more organic." So, for the sake of freedom of footballing expression, you can now hug the left trigger to move into pace-control, and then use the right-stick to perform timed, combined skill moves: a step-over is an upward gesture that turns to the right, for instance. We're shown a chart of all the skill moves you can do, and it's already dozens, with more to come. All can be initiated from a standing start, a jog, or a slow dribble. You can do reverse-stepovers, flip-flaps (Ronaldinho's one-foot misdirection), over-the-head rainbow flicks, fake shots, heel to heel, even Rebonas.

 

Lower-leagues will be in:

The new shot system sounds like a brilliant idea:

Without meaning to take a dig at Konami and get myself a few more items of hate-mail, look at the way they describe the physics in the article JayM links to above. They are covering everything, they even figure out air density before the shot lifts off. Incredible.

Consider what happens when you take a shot. Often you just kick the ball and don't think about it. Frank Lampard certainly does. The 22-page design document for FIFA 08's shot system, which Paterson walks us through, suggests EA does think about it.

Then it factors in its lateral and incoming velocity, the air pressure and density, and the mass of the ball, among other things. The endless graphics on Paterson's Word document show the multitudinous possible outcomes. "Once upon a time we used to compute error by saying, okay, the guy's trying to shoot into the top-corner, we want to do error so we're going to move it into space over here," Joe Booth explains, waving his arms about. "But that's not how real physics works, so what we do now is apply the error to the ball, so you get much more subtlety." Like the Reynolds effect. Which is what, maths-man Gary Paterson? "It's where you hit it so hard the spin doesn't have any effect on the ball until it's slowed down enough. Like Roberto Carlos' goal against France." Aha.

 

To put that into context, PES figures out where your shot is going to go by your entire body's position in relation to the goal and the direction you aim with the stick. There are no other factors. Now that doesn't mean that you won't prefer PES, but if you do, you're preferring the less-realistic game, and that's the end of the matter.

 

If you're going to get any real "evolution" with next-gen football it's going to come from these guys.
