competition is about to take place. To celebrate the
2014 tournament, which will be played in Brazil, EA
Sports is releasing a title to give fans a chance to
virtually experience the World Cup on gaming
consoles. While the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil game
will be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, we
were surprised to find out that EA Sports won't be
bringing it to their next-gen revisions, the PlayStation 4
and Xbox One. Here's what the game's Lead Producer,
Mat Prior, told us:
When we made the decision we considered a
number of factors but most importantly we
wanted to create the best game we could that
could reach as many people as possible and
the way to do that was make our best game
yet on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We gave
our team the mandate of setting a laser focus
on building the highest quality game for
X360 and PS3 they could, and that's exactly
what they are doing.
The news will likely disappoint the hardcore football
folk, as they were probably looking forward to playing
this year's World Cup title on their shiny new Xbox
One or PS4. Not all is lost, however: "We will have a
range of engaging content within FIFA 14 Ultimate
Team so that fans on the new generation of consoles
can experience the World Cup in fun and unique ways,"
an EA Sports representative said to Engadget.
Meanwhile, on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, 2014
FIFA World Cup Brazil will be sold as a full,
standalone game in April for $60 -- this is different than
what EA did with UEFA Euro 2012, which was a $20
DLC release through FIFA 12. So, what are your
thoughts? Definitely let us know in the comments
below.
