MMGN: Fifa 13 is a complete overhaul of what we’ve come to expect from soccer games. It will require an entirely new thought process.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
In Fails of the Weak #210, Jack and Geoff bring you fails in Sniper Elite 3, FIFA 13, Sportsfriends, Destiny, Halo: Reach, and FIFA 14.
i have to try it to believe it cause FIFA12 pissed me off online. AI is so retarded, many times players decide for themselves what they want to do, when you tacle a player the ball moves 10feet away and no way to take the ball from a player standing nearby the line, it goes over the line automatically cause the collision engine is a disaster.
Many times also the player pushes the ball out of the line while i'm holding the opposite direction. The game is so boring 99% of the time i play against Barca or Madrid cause Ronaldo and Messi are extraterrestrials in this game and the only thing they do is run.
On top of that the menus are laggy, ugly and i have to accept all kinds of useless messages before the game starts and sometimes i have to restart the game because i have freezes between 2 matches and i have to reaccept everything again..
This is just what came to my mind right now, but there is much more and i'm not buying FIFA13 before i'm sure all of this is solved. And screw EA and their online pass!
@theEx1Le: man that 360 controller !! i prefer to exit gaming than use it. and i have tried the game on 360 it's same shit..
Reading what was said, I kind of agree but it's not a complete overhaul. The differences are still subtle and won't require much work to adjust for experienced players. I actually found the adjustment between fifa 12 and the demo to be a lot easier than previous fifas.
Played the demo, laughed my ass of put fifa 12 back started playing cause i did not see a singel improvement gameplay wise your team mates are still retards goal keeper still cant hold a finnesse shot, referees are an improvement but overall i woudn't waste money on this game.
(skillgames-gtfo with that st*t)
I didn´t notice too much difference from FIFA 12, too. First Touch it´s really the only addition . The rest looks the same. I want a soccer game, and now I´m still in doubt of what pick up: FIFA 13 or PES 13.
Not much of an improvement to warrant a full price purchase from me. I like the sound of the career mode changes and the rest, but when it comes down to the action on the pitch, it felt little different to FIFA 12.
Playing as Arsenal, Gervinho regularly mis-controlled the ball. As an Arsenal season ticket holder, I can tell you he doesn't have issues taking a ball under control. Poor decision making in the final 3rd, yes.
The PES demo on the other hand, impressed me much more. Unbelievably fun and a definite improvement over the last few years. I'll be picking that up day one instead and wait for FIFA 13 to drop in price. Never thought I'd say that until next-gen!
