Football MMO after testers News

PC News by Robert Purchese

3 December, 2007

CyberSports is after its first batch of testers for massively multiplayer online game Football Superstars.

Simply pop over to the official website to register and you will be automatically considered for the beta, as well as stand a chance of winning a PC and getting lots of insider information about the game.

Developer Monumental Games has also released the first in-game shots to coincide with nearing the alpha stage of creation, showing off some of the environments you will be swanning around in when not sweating it out on the pitch. There are a slew of renders in there too, giving you an idea of how characters will look in the game.

Football Superstars lets you create and customise your own sports star in a persistent online world, before competing in three, five, seven and eleven-a-side matches. As you go, you will develop your skills both on and off the pitch, pursuing a Beckham-like life of fame as you attract the notice of bigger and better clubs - essentially guilds formed by you and your friends.

We had a chance to see its early progress back in July, and left with a suitable smile on our face, wondering why no one had tackled such an obviously popular combination in the past.

Pop over to our Football Superstars preview for more information, or head to the official site for the chance to leave your mark on the game.

Football SuperStars is due for release on PC in the second quarter of 2008.

Considering how much of a laugh pro evo is with four mates on the same team this could be great.

Be pleanty of odd formations to accommodate all the strikers I should think.

It's a football game and not one of those pictures includes a ball. Perhaps it's a David Beckham career simulator.

@HMAN

Whats the point in posting that last comment? Who cares if its advertised elsewhere - a lot of people...myself included...would've seen it here before anywhere else.

Why come on this site, complaining that the news is out of date? Just don't come on the site at all then. Twat.

Could say whats the point of coming on a site and using such vulgar language towards someone you don't know. Anonymity seems to breed idiots

Let me add my +integer to the pile. People complaining about old news need to get out more.

I'd never heard of this, until I read the EG article. Maybe I didn't hear about it on the day of release, but unless my cock falls off as a result I'm not going to get too stressed about it.

So a job well done, props to EG, a dog poo in a happy meal bag anf the name of the local youth club to HMAN.

Woah, looks like my kind of thing. Always vowed not to fall for pay2play subscription stuff, but this will probably convert me.

Since I'm a goalkeeper myself, I hope there will be plenty. Although it's probably "cooler" to score goals and stuff. :/

Why would he? It's not direct competition for him and his company.
