"Another year, another season of football is upon us. It also means another iteration of FIFA. FIFA 13 on the console and PC is quite beautiful like a Christiano Ronaldo free kick when it hits the back of the net. Changes on the pitch, including Attacking Intelligence and the Physical Impact Engine, brings the realism of football a little closer to the virtual space. Career Mode is better than ever, with changes coming for Ultimate Team and Football Club. The addition of Skill Games is also welcomed. But is this enough to lift this year’s cup or will FIFA 13 suffer a heartbreaking defeat?"
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games.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.
not a bad game i might pick this up
