EA isn’t looking to push a simple FIFA 14 port to the Xbox One and PS4 later this month. While many of the features and functionality will remain the same as its current-gen brother, FIFA 14 is what EA sees as the best soccer (or football, depending on your location) game it has ever made. Producer Nick Channon exactly why in a recent interview with MCV.
‘’The philosophy for us over the last five or six years has been, ‘how do we make significant innovation each year in gameplay?’’’ he said. “’How do we make the game more authentic and more fun at the same time?’ We need to get the balance right between authenticity and fun – we are making a video game at the end of the day. What we have right now with FIFA 14 is a great base, a fantastic game and moving forward it is a huge opportunity.”
FIFA has found a great deal of success over the years, and Channon wanted to make sure that the team rewarded this dedicated audience with a truly special next-gen product.
‘’This is the best FIFA we have ever made. We wanted to make a next-gen game that is fully featured, which has not always been the case, and that has significant innovation in gameplay and presentation,” he continued. “The feeling when you play the game is entirely new. We’ve been very fortunate in our success with FIFA and we are translating that to a new platform.’’
