As is the case every four years, FIFA's biggest football 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.
