FIFA 08 demo tomorrow News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
EA has confirmed that the demo for FIFA 08 will go live on 360 and PS3 tomorrow.
It'll give you a chance to try out what the publisher is calling its most coherent football game to date. There's the new skill system to try out, the opportunity to play as just one member of the team and not mess it up, plus the usual better graphics, physics, and all that malarkey.
EA is also offering much more in the way of online support this time around. Following a post-release update you'll be able to play five against five, for instance, where you each control your player of choice on either side. The ultimate goal is to have 11 versus 11, although we're not sure who would really want to be centre-back or the goalie.
Interactive Leagues are back, too, so you and your chums can help your favourite team to victory, plus lots of other knick knacks. Sprint your way over to our first impressions of FIFA 08 for a closer look.
FIFA 08 is coming out on PC, PS3, 360, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS on 28th September. Look out for our thoughts soon.

Woooooh, steady... need to sit down here... did someone say that the FIFA 08 demo will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3? Wow, that must be a first...
I read, on IGN I think, that the PS3 version of FIFA 08 is a jaggy mess so I'm looking forward to checking both out! If it's true then I'm glad I pre-ordered it for the 360 and not PS3. Can the PS3 even do anti-aliasing I wonder...? :? |

I haven't been into any Fifa game since '97, I'll give this one a bash though, hopefully It'll be good.

as a football/PES fan i think i'll wait for another couple of iterations of FIFA before seriously considering it. if the level of effort from the developers maintains the same then in a year or 2 FIFA would have completely caught up with PES if not overtaken it. EA are being really pro-active about making FIFA a better game whilst PES seems to keep plodding along resting on its reputation.

Right then. The time has come to give Fifa another chance. If this is any good and PES blows again then bye bye konami.

I had a chance to get some hands on time with Fifa08 360 last Friday at GCA in Singapore, also chatted to an EA producer for 20 mins or so, wrote a humongous writeup + Q&A on the EA and IGN forums if anyone has far too much time on their hands ;)
http://boards.ign.com/fifa_soccer/b5726/... http://footballcommunity.ea.com/forum/vi... If anyone wants the short version Fifa08 is fantastic and IMO a much better overall game than PES, not least because PES' ML is completely stagnant and has needed serious improvement since PES3, instead we got silly animal heads...... |

Yeah it's Ronaldinho and Rooney on the UK boxart
I think it's Owen on the front of the UK PES with Ronaldo. Drogba being on the front would be enough, for me to ask for the disc only :D I think Ribery is one the French box art with Ronaldinho... That front cover should come with and 18 certificate / Stick pin in Drogba voodoo doll

Sorry to post this so off-topic here, but it's still footy...
Our coach (Portugal) punched a Serbian ( is it that way?) player after we conceded a draw on the last two minutes. Hilarious, then sad... Shit seems fuckin serious now, Serbia federation president is asking for a "permanent ban" from FIFA. Shit...

Can't wait to see the hype fall to pieces yet again.
I would imagine four or five plays of the demo will be sufficient to see all the game has to offer. It usually is. PES always feels better on the park, It's just such a shame about master league and animal heads, oh well gameplay is the number one priority for me at least. |

@Killa if it's anything like last years version 3 or 4 goes certainly will not show everything the game has to offer. I've played PES all the way back to the Snes version and the last Fifa I had played was Fifa 96 and in my opinion Fifa 07 (Xbox version) was better than PES 6 (PS2 version) last year. You need take off the PES blinkers and give Fifa a good go (a weeks play), you may be suprised.
Having said all that I haven't played the 08 version which could be a complete load of **** this year ! |

Have to agree with you there Steve. I've been playing Pro Evo since the SNES days too including the JAP evolution versions on PS2 and in my opinion PES has become more "scripted" and "on rails" now than fifa due to some dodgy AI and a wierd shooting system. Dont get me wrong the game still rocks but it's not as good as it used to be. I sincerely hope PES pull one out of the bag this yr but FIFA last yr was a huge improvement and with this being a free demo at least people can make there own minds up about it before buying it. I for one will probably end up buying both but can honestly say im looking forward to trying FIFA more this yr than PES. Interesting to see if konami are confident enough to release a demo 2 weeks before the game comes out this time :)

With this year's FIFA 08 supposedly running at 60 fps (not the 30 of the previous versions), the gameplay should feel more fluid this time round. A common criticism of the older games was that they felt sluggish to play. Certainly all of EA's other sports games, NHL 08, Madden NFL 08 and NBA Live 08, seem to have really benefitted from the higher framerate as they not only look better but the game flows so much better too.

Im tempted to try this 'new' version of FiFa, even though I have been a Pro Evo 'fanboy' for several years, the darkside beckons...
