The more things change, the more they stay the same. So it is again as Sports Interactive and Sega bring us the latest iteration in the long-running and classic football management simulation series, Football Manager, nee Championship Manager. Alongside the obvious data update to reflect accurately this season’s realities, plus the many hundreds of subtle changes, there are a significant number of headline innovations which make this year’s version stand out compared to its predecessors. The game looks a little different, can be played in more ways than one and in some ways may surprise you. Although once you’ve spent some hours with the game and have acclimatised to the changes and you understand the new features after really getting into a save game or ten, it hits you. What Sports Interactive have managed to do better than they have for quite some time is evolve the game significantly so it feels new and better yet it is fundamentally still the same game built on numbers, choices and fantasy. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Now, it's the turn of the developers, the makers of the virtual experiences we so love. Read on for the games of 2013 according to the creators of the likes of Super Meat Boy, Assassin's Creed 4, XCOM, Oculus Rift and more, complete with Twitter bios.
Awesome article and insight. Love hearing developers praising each other. You can tell they want each other to succeed. That one dev that like The Last of Us more than Bioshock was funny. When he say TLoU was more believable...no sheit! Lol...
I wouldnt even had compared the two but his breakdown why was good and made sense. Awesome read(to me anyway)! Thanks!
Gta as good as it is doesn't bring anything new to the table, yes you will allways have something to do an yes you can lay as three character, but apart from that the story was OK, and many of the things you can do in this game can be done in previous games.
TLOU is a game in my opinion that deserves it this year. the story was amazing, gameplay was great, you actually cared for the characters and i was really surprised about how well they showed the bonding between Ellie and Joel. they started out as to people just doing a mission, but ended becoming so close to each other.
This game is probably my favorite game this gen along side MGS4,uncharted 2,dead space 1-2, darksiders 1, walking dead, mw1 and gta 5 ( gta 5 is a great game, one of the best games this gen hands down, but last of us edges it out in my opinion).
SEGA and Sports Interactive launched Football Manager 2103. This not only went on to become the biggest-selling game in the history of the long-running series, it also remained ‘uncracked’ until May 12th 2013. This means that for more than six months, there was no unprotected version of the game available for illegal download.

Friggin IDIOTS can't even PROOF read their OWN stories.
Journalism today STINKS!
people back in the 50's using a two ton typewriter made less mistakes.
Football Manager boss Miles Jacobson has revealed the true extent of video game piracy on PC.
10.1m people have illegally downloaded Football Manager 2013, he said on stage at London Games Conference 2013.
imagine how many will DL gtav if it goes to pc (if they even feel its worth it). the first Week sales of BO2 was 6-7mill on 360, 5-6mill on PS3, and 0.425mill on PC... sad if you ask me.
First, you can't compare PC with console sales. Consoles are cheaper to buy therefore there are simply more consoles than there are gaming PCs. Furthermore, PC gamers are smart so are less likely to buy cod lol jk kinda. But yes, piracy does exist but this mass piracy from fb manager is rare and not representative of PC gamer behavior as a whole. If piracy was thatbad in general, no one would make games for the PC and nothing is further from the truth.
