Fifa 2008

Garethw · 26th September 2007, 10:18

Ok so Fifa 2008 is released in Europe this friday (28-9-07).

Who's going to buy it?

Who's been put off by the demo?

Who's waiting for PES 08?

Van Piorsing · 26th September 2007, 10:56

I've played demo and it's only slightly better than Fifa 07.

It's more like a a patch or update to 07 version.

PES 08 is different story... people who played demo tell that the gameplay is great and player movement is very realistic, now.

kelvinhole · 26th September 2007, 11:02

Not me.

I like the NDS version though, might play it.

Psmith · 26th September 2007, 11:08

I'll be getting it on PC.

I love Fifa. I won't have much time to play this one though.

Snake Doctor · 26th September 2007, 11:24

I'll probably buy it with the PS3.

golden_blunder · 26th September 2007, 11:34

FIFA is for gays more interested in pretty graphics than gameplay

Pro Evo is where its at

Ronaldo No.9 · 26th September 2007, 11:55

I will get it for the 360.

I quite liked the demo as it seemed alot harder than previous versions, also with inclusion of some great skill moves and better gameplay, it will give Pro Evo a run for its money.

pert · 26th September 2007, 12:08

Save your money, get Pro Evo

Pro Evo is for geeks who take computer games too seriously.

the pro-evo vs fifa wars will never end, unless of course EA games buys konami then have the pro-evo developer team do the gameplay of fifa

a_devil_inside · 26th September 2007, 15:45

i'll buy it, and probably the new PES when that comes out. I'll trade my old PES in first

Shit i can't believe i missed that! Edit tool God Bless you.

Garethw · 26th September 2007, 17:35

I thought the FIFA 08 demo was shite. Worse by far than the 07 edition.

Year after year we are told that Fifa is making up the ground on PES. Bullshit!

PES is still number one by a marathon distance.

I'm still gonna pick up a copy of Fifa on Friday though. I need a football fix on my PS3 to tide me over until PES 08 is released at the end of October.

Fifa has decent game play. I've only played both on PC. And I find Fifa smoother and better. On other platforms, I don't know.

Pro Evo geeks seem to think they're somehow superior for playing Pro Evo. They seem to forget that it's a computer game.

You say Fifa hasnt improved from last year, so what the hell have Konami done to make Pro so much better than last year? Add a dive option?

As far as im concerned Pro seems to be just a faster version of last years game, im not with this fanboy malarky where some say ''Oh Pro is much better than Fifa''

''No no Fifa is much better than Pro'' blah blah blah

I will get both Fifa and Pro, and I will enjoy both games.

air_mood · 27th September 2007, 00:27

FIFA's gameplay is nowhere close to Pro Evo at all eventhough the bullcrap that their developers keep spouting. Gameplay still sucks big time and is nowhere realistic.

That being said though I'd probably buy it just to complete my collection and because of the lack of games on the PS2 at the moment. I'll probably just play it once and then just keep it as I always do. It only cost the equivalent of your 60 cents here anyways. The pirated version of course.

PES has improved a hell of a lot from last year. The tackling has got better the passing has the AI on the opposition players has increased.

I too will be buying both games.

However if i could choose only one it would be Pro Evo every time.

My only gripe with PES is the licensing issues with the Premership teams. Other than that its ace.

Spoonov · 27th September 2007, 17:35

I'm not a gaming geek, but there's no comparison. FIFA's a turd. And you simply can't polish one.

Van Piorsing · 27th September 2007, 18:32

It's funny how EA Sports trying to explain the revolutionary stuff going on, every year when they're releasing almost the same game.

Fifa 94 - First Fifa 2D. Good vga graphics but no licenses on players.
Fifa 96 - 3d graphics and quite good gameplay. Real squads and clubs.
Fifa 97 - Slow gameplay, slightly better graphics.
Fifa 98 - Good gameplay, many new options in tactics. Simply great game.
Fifa 99 - First 3d accelerated Fifa with not very good gameplay.
Fifa 00 - Nothing new... but the strongest Manchester United ion the whole history of this game

Fifa 01 - Slightly better motion capture, but nothing more again.
Fifa 02 - Not bad gameplay, new passing system.
Fifa 03 - Good graphics and signs of a new gameplay.
Fifa 04 - Tragedy. Awful. Graphics sucks, no gameplay at all.
Fifa 05 - Slightly better graphics but the same old chess.
Fifa 06 - better gameplay and graphics but still a little bit crap. The goal keeper is like superman.
Fifa 07 - Not bad career option, gameplay quite good and animation.
Fifa 08 - Seems like just an upgrade to 07 version except the new option by playing only one player on the pitch.

ecantona7 · 27th September 2007, 18:37

anyone know when fifa 08 is coming out in north america (mainly canada)

FIFA's graphics are shite though

The players always look laminated, and don't quite move across the pitch in tandem with the movement of their legs. When you score, the ball doesn't hit the back of the net, it's stopped by an invisible forcefield.

Also, on the last game, Saha STILL had dreadlocks. If you're going to just lift the new game from the last one, at least make a half decent effort of hiding it.

a_devil_inside · 27th September 2007, 18:58

maybe its because they werent used to seeing Saha as it was that long ago he played

air_mood · 27th September 2007, 21:18

The fact that FIFA introduced a 'new control system' which is the exact control system of Pro Evo with the sprinting on the shoulder buttons, shooting on square on crossing on circle says it all. Hell they even copied the meter system for shooting off Pro Evo. FIFA never had a meter for quite some time.

swooshboy · 27th September 2007, 23:28

I bought FIFA 08 for the PS3 today (Thursday). My first impressions are that its actually a more real game of football than FIFA 07.

The tackling seems much more realistic - have done fewer diving tackles on this game than almost any previous footie game I've owned.

It actually plays better than the demo - smoother and more responsive and after having played about 4 matches I have to say I am really enjoying it and it certainly feels as though it will be a challenge to master.

You can also setup online leagues for up to 32 people, so if anyone else gets it for PS3 let us know and we'll see if we can get enough to setup a Redcafe league.
