CVG: Exec producer David Rutter on turning footy fans into FIFA players...
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games.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.
Every department of EA is just bitter towards Call of Duty...
I don't play call of duty at all
want me to play fifa all day long? stop releasing a new game on disc yearly for full price and I will purchase a fifa game update It yearly without the need for a new disc and I will pay you a FAIR price for that too...shit even if i got what i want i would play it all day long...its not that good lol
Why they are both the same reskinned games that come out every year with very little changes.
Is that time of year already? When the EA employees come out of hibernation to pretend they care about their consumers? Keep talking Rutter, I'll take everything you say with a grain of salt. How about instead of talking up how to justify us spending more money on your pathetic company, you go explain why all your beloved fans have been ripped off with the abysmally overpriced Euro DLC.
Here in England it seems my friends are divided in to tow groups. There are those who love FIFA and there are those that love COD. I am with the COD fanboys on this one, but I don't play it all day long and it isn't the only game I play.
