Football Manager heads Online in Asia

Gamespot writes: new football management MMO from Sports Interactive is to launch in the Asian market, the British developer confirmed today. Football Manager Online will be a separate product to Football Manager Live, the company's traditional Western MMO.

The Football Manager empire is expanding.

Football Manager Online is to be developed in partnership with KTH Allstar, a Korean Internet portal company. FMO will be a "very different" game to FML, according to Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive's Studio Director. Talking to GameSpot he confirmed FMO will be micro-transaction based and is being specifically tailored for the Asian consumer and "the way that they like to experience online games." It will be designed for regular play from home and also at PC bangs, LAN gaming centres popular in South Korea, which is the first market that will be targeted.

Why I Hate… Football Manager

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."

Great games.

Gonna have to throw Street Fighter III: Third Strike on my list. No other fighting game has created as many memories as that one has and everything about it, 11 years later, is still top notch today. Great animations, characters, music, and stages. Not to mention the deep level of mastery required to play it at a high level... people are still discovering new techniques and strategies. I also think it's one of the most entertaining games to watch, in general. So much hype sometimes.

The final round of this match is a perfect example of why I love this game so damn much:

I hope Third Strike - Online Edition brings a new generation of people to enjoy this masterpiece.

For me, Final Fantasy X. Beautiful story.

SeanRL5001d ago

For me, Fallout 3, MGS4, Space invaders, Ratchet and Clank: Up your Arsenal and Pokemon Yellow. Those are my top 5.

zatrox5001d ago

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. The first one, for GameCube, and probably the only one that was great between the series. Probably the only FF I'll love with my heart, too.

It was...awesome.

Mikeyy5001d ago

Goldeneye

Doom 2
