As we continue through a big week for sports games, the release of PES 2017 and the upcoming Early Tip-off of NBA 2K17 has dominated the minds of most. In the meantime, EA Sports are sneakily trying to divert some attention by releasing their FIFA 17 demo on the same day as the PES 2017 release. Usually, this wouldn’t be much of a draw, but this year’s demo will feature a brief look at the much anticipated new take on FIFA’s My Player mode. Dubbed The Journey, a heavy focus on narrative gives the impression that EA Sports are looking to follow the example of recent NBA 2K MyCareer modes. With the demo available for download as of right now, Hardcore Gamer jumped straight in to get the details and let you know what we think.
Like all great photographs, the covers of the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer video games capture a moment in time. But which ones have been best?
Richard writes: "It would be fair to say that Martin Korda may not be the first name that springs to mind when thinking of video game writers.
However, a quick look through his credits and you will see he is responsible for such stories as The Journey on FIFA 17 and 18, Destiny: The Taken King and Fable: The Journey as well as an impressive back-catalogue. You may then start to understand why we were so keen to sit down and have a chat with him at the Yorkshire Games Festival:"
Some of the best games to play are soccer (football, for our non-American friends). When you're looking for one of the best video games for team sports, and multiplayer play, look no further than the soccer game genre. The world of soccer video games is dominated by two heavy hitters: FIFA and PES (Pro Evolution Soccer). These two game developers keep pushing each other to have better characterization, crisper graphics, and a stronger gameplay engine. As a result, the real winner is the gamer. Let's look at both and see which is best.
What a bunch of plebs!
