IncGamers can reveal that Sports Interactive could be working on a new game expected to be the new Football Manager.
The closing of multiplayer services can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes there just aren’t enough people using a product to justify keeping it running while in others it could be down to complicated legal wrangling, like expiring licensing agreements, or even a desire to bring out a new installment.
One thing is clear though – many of these discontinued games simply don’t deserve to die, to be cut down in their prime leaving players without a viable alternative and waste all that time the audience invested in them. With that in mind, this article will count down the 12 games least deserving of being shut down, the ones that players the world over wished had kept going.
Microsoft has launched an official promotion on its Games on Demand service, offering some of the best titles of last year at greatly reduced prices. Gamers can purchase titles such as BioShock 2, Lost Planet 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition for half their previous retail price.
Eurogamer: "It's a shame when relationships end but it's often for the best. Football Manager and me had it all – long intimate evenings, weekends away, the occasional holiday. I'd thought we never split up. But eventually cracks began to appear, the physical side deteriorated, and we became strangers.
As an early adopter of pretending to manage a football team on a computer (i.e. a semi-autistic weirdo), a chronic addiction to Football Manager seemed my inevitable destiny. My first taste was the original Football Manager on the ZX Spectrum, whose bearded creator, Kevin Toms, appeared beaming on the cassette case cover."
I have SO many friends obsessed with this.
Many like the management more than playing the games.
i hope so, I've bought every Championship Manager/Football Manager since Champ Man 2. Great to see it develop so much over the years
Football Manager was huge, hope this one can compare.
Lol is that the most stupid thing i've ever heard? SI games working on a game.. it could be the next football manager! That's like saying Wayne Rooney is expected to be on tv on Saturday, word has it it's football! SI Games have exclusively worked on football management games pretty much as far back as I can remember (first edition I bought was 94-95 I think).
