Played FIFA on the PCÂ recently? No neither have we, the current generation of consoles have been around for a few years now but the FIFA series on the PC has lagged behind with a last-gen game engine and graphics. Well no more says EA, The publisher has today announced that the football engine that drives gameplay and graphics on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 has arrived for FIFA 11 PC.
Two years in development, the console game engine has been optimised for PC, delivering next-generation console-quality gameplay, game modes and visuals to FIFA 11 PC.
“The EA SPORTS FIFA franchise is committed to investing and innovating for PC and this is a watershed moment,” said Executive Producer Kaz Makita. “We are delivering to FIFA 11 PC the high-quality gameplay, innovative game modes and stunning graphics that have made FIFA the highest-rated sports game on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and winner of over 50 sports game of the year awards.”
Its about time, PC fans can rejoice, I look forward to seeing what the modding community can produce with a next-gen FIFA game.
FIFA 11 PC features and game modes will be revealed in the coming weeks and months.
You may remember me from video features such as the Cataclysm Beta and HowToStarCraftII.
My gaming upbringing was a mixture of NES, SNES and Megadrive before my brother decided to convert to the church of PlayStation.
Nowadays I have my own cash and own all of the major consoles and a top of the range gaming PC. Dropping a grand to upgrade my PC is not a huge decision, it's a requirement! If you can't find me on the PS3 or 360 then I am probably on my PC playing the latest MMO, RTS or FPS.
