New FIFA 12 gameplay trailer highlighting new precision player...things


To be pretty honest it was pretty naff - didn't really see much to shout about in it

Seen that. Wont be getting it, dont like idea of buying a new game each year.

Ill have 2011 for a while on the go, get my moneys worth out of it, bit like FM, unless its something HUGE changing, its not worth getting (and by that i mean...paying for...)

I doubt I'll get it - hardly play FIFA anyway, unless with a gathering of people (and no doubt Keith will buy it). Will wait for the demo just to make sure but it's doubtful I'll get it

Looks like a placeholder for next year then.

Dont see anything there thats any different from last years.... or the year before.

Fifa/Pro evo etc are a bit of a joke really releasing new games every year. Completely milking any sort of fanbase they have year in year out. They should just release a game every 2 years.... with a complete roster/ kit/ team update every transfer window.

Yeah the yearly game thing is a joke. Anyone recall one a few years back when FIFA released it as an experiement and it only had 5/6 leagues in it? Cant recall the year, but it was just to test if anyone liked the new things and that theyd see what people thought, then stick it in a "full" version - being the next years release.

Became a joke a while back.

Obviously they do it for the revenues but say if money wasn't a neccessity then smartest thing to do would be a game every two years with regular squad updates for each game. FIFA10 was a MASSIVE change from 09 which was fair enough, but 11 isn't an awful lot different from 10 - not enough to spend £40 on (I got it for £20 )

POOOOOOOOOOORTAL 2 HATH ARRIVED!

....and Ill probably not get playing it till Saturday afternoon due to work that I dont get paid for, and business plan for QUB due 10am Sat. Arse.

Portal 2>QUB

Seriously very good game!

Yeah really cant wait to get stuck in...shame Ive not started this business plan...

This could be pure awesome, wanna know more about it mind

Looks very much like Mass Effect in terms of how it plays - not a bad thing!

Excellent Day = made.

Must say I also enjoy the decline of 3D - 3D is fail.

FIFA 12 RRP is going to be £54.99. £54.99?! Actually ridiculous pricing for a game that isn't going to be all that different from 11. Absolute madness.

You can call it FIFA 12 Ultimate Super Mega Blow Job Edition for all I care, £55 for a game is TAKING THE PISS.

£55 for a game that to be honest, you'll only really jump in and out of, is an absolute joke. To be honest, the way FIFA games are developed, £25 would be a much more sensible price considering how little new content is in it each year. Then again, they want to grab as much money as they can out of people

People now moaning that Battlefield 3 on consoles will "only be 720p". Shame they don't realise that the vast majority of consoles games are all rendered at 720p, with some COD games at even less (MW2/PS3/ 540p. LOL). Besides, gameplay>graphics. I bought Homefront last week - crap graphics but its great fun

Never got people arguing over graphics and the resolution - Ive been playing games since 8bit was all the range, never bothered me. Its what is on screen, not whats being rendered on screen makes it cool - The Moonflow on Spira (FFX) was stunning, and would have only been 576p at extreme best. Some of the worlds greatest CGI cut scenes where final fantasy 8 - sod HD, they are still stunning.

Cant stant Grey, but for that matter, cant stand game comentary.

Too many times on F11 have I had a goal keeper take a goal kick and the commentators yell "and hes through on goal" ...when the ball is en route to a busy centre circle.

Haha it is generally pretty bad considering! Most common issue I come across is when you're ruled for offside, the game stops but if you still manage to shoot and score, Martin Tyler goes nuts: "its a goalll!!!"

Ive scored in the past and the commentators go "Annnd the ball is out for a goal kick....poor shot on goal...." *Opponents kick off after I score* "Yeah, he never should have shot from there..."
