Key features & screenshots of World Cup 2002!What do u think! It should be FREE FREE

[asad]

Here's what EA says!

Official and exclusive content - The only interactive soccer game licensed to use the official FIFA World Cup, insignia, mascots and the 20 new World Cup stadiums in Japan and Korea.


Star Players - Lifelike representation of all the star players participating in the World Cup Tournament, combined with the exceptional individual talents that characterize their style of play in real life.


Accessible and exciting new game play -'Air Play,' delivers intuitive one-button headers, volleys, scissor kicks, juggling, and more. Showboating and high-tempo, high-impact play is both exciting and accessible from the first touch of the ball.


New player-to-player animations - New player-to-player animations result in aggressive jostling for the ball both on the ground and in the air.


'World Cup Moments' - Key dramatic moments during the tournament including the beginning of a match, the end of a match and key goals are highlighted by epic cinematics. Using replays, player animations, original scores by the Vancouver Symphony and special effects, World Cup Moments underscore the emotional range of play with increasing intensity as games become more important.


'Moment Zooms' - New camera angles and replays capture intensity of World Cup games as they dramatize nearly missed shots, fouls and goals by focusing on player facial animations as they grimace and fall to their knees in frustration or pump their fists and cheer in celebration of a goal.


Tournament Mode - A seven game series beginning with round-robin play, followed by playoffs leading to the final match with a progressive story line and a rising intensity as you advance.


New stadium environments- Teams will be met with a rising tide of crowd excitement with thousands of fans sporting team colors, country specific chants, and an explosion of special effects including lasers, confetti, streamers, flags.


World Cup 2002 will be out in April 2002.

I think it should be a Free addon to FiFA 2002, or at least a bit cheap. What do you think. Will the game be what they say it will??

I must say the crowd graphics are still bad

 

[IceBlu]

its still gay !

 

[maddog1983]

why am i not excited about a new soccer game ... because fifa was so dissapointing ... it should be discounted for fifa 2002 buyers but i wont be

The graphics look excellent (look at those stadiums) but I bet it will be the same as FIFA 2002 and it will be crap after 3 days but I love the World Cup so much so I must give in to myself and buy this game. It will only cost 1 week of work for me (one week of pay for me is 2 hours) so I don't mind paying.

I must say my jaw dropped when I saw the stadium detail! The crowd looks good, maybe a bit too much colour, but a nice change. Lets hope the gameplay lives up to what we all want.

Look below the scoreboards - It is the inflatable people from Euro 2000

Finally, a new ball structure.

Numbers on the front of the shirts...

Sky looks more real and some new kit textures...

Nice juggling skills in the Sapporo Dome...

 

[asad]

What about Ariel

I'm thinking about the patch from socceraccess. It's taking forever to be released. I know it's good but as good as EA's big fat expensive CD......

Anyway I just hope it comes out sooner rather than later.

The question... will it be better than World Cup 98?

 

[Ashley Cole]

Look at the Cameroon kit in the screenshot of them v England, or more importantly, the sleeves. New World Cup, same old EA

^AC

 

[Alenitchev]

Altough I have no info on the weather in Southeast Asia in July, I doubt it will be that hot to use basketball-like shirts...

 

[Ashley Cole]

There was a thread about it a few days ago, I think Schmeichel said they had asked for permission to use them

i think the Sapporo Dome looks amazing with great textures, although the crowds sucked like ****, i guess they had to do it the EURO 2000 way using 'palette' crowds and not like FIFAfx's home n away.

A great new Ball structure too..

and the roof shadows looks very weird.. i guess it will be pretty much be like FIFA 2002....

 

[Yj]

and notice the boots . they seem to be of same black color and design... OMG

 

[Gold Archangel]

nice fevernova ball there. i hope the gameplay is greatly improved!

u think they'll be animated... like floating and moving..?

 

[mns]

In my opinion the screenshots look very bad, It's like Euro 2000 one again, look how wierd the crowds look. Hope that the game will look better than the screens

Who knows what the end result will be like, altho' the Stadiums do look classy, but the ball seems to be oversized once again and looks to be way out of synch with the actuall player models, and as usuall the bottom line will be how it performs as a realistic football game.
