| EA Unveils the Future of Soccer with FIFA Soccer 07 on Xbox 360 The future of soccer has been unveiled at the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany as Electronic Arts reveales the dynamic new EA Sports engine that will appear in FIFA Soccer 07 on the Xbox 360 system and lead the franchise into the future. Two years in development, the new engine is the single largest investment EA has ever made in the soccer business. The engine is poised to redefine the way sports videogames play and feel. A physics-based and data-driven technology, the engine delivers individuality of player movement, authentic athletic motion and an unprecedented level of responsiveness. The new engine creates a decision-making layer in FIFA Soccer 07 that gives each individual player a "soccer brain" - a level of intelligence never before seen in a videogame. Player characteristics are now based on brand-new traits and twice the number of attributes, so no two players move in exactly the same way. Instead, they behave like the individual athletes we see gracing the pitch week-in, week-out. FIFA Soccer 07 allows players to recognize their favorite athletes by the way they move. The human biomechanics of each athlete are taken into account and replicated in the game because the new engine is data-driven - the player motion is driven by individual attributes, physical characteristics and for the first time, traits. FIFA Soccer 07 also introduces new ball physics, a central component to the feel and finesse of a soccer game. For the first time, the ball is alive with its own independent physics, resulting in truly unpredictable gameplay. Now any type of pass or shot is possible and goals will feel natural and unique. Bringing the soccer experience beyond the videogame to truly deliver a complete media package for soccer fans is the online component to FIFA 07 which streams up-to-the-minute game results via real-time videos, podcasts and news ticker. Nowhere else will soccer fans find such a comprehensive destination for soccer stats, information and real-world news. FIFA Soccer 07 on the Xbox 360 video game system from Microsoft will ship to stores this Fall in North America and Europe. The game is rated is rated "E" (Everyone) by the ESRB and 3+ by PEGI in Europe. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
