just put it on now, just seem to be running around talking to people though, ive tried attacking them but its not having it!? ive had a few beers though, might wait till the am.

Viking is good, but it's slow to get going.

It took me a couple of restarts before I got into it, but once I got going I really enjoyed it.

That in Star Wars? I'm not greatly impressed with it so far

Yeah some of the bosses are cheap and shitty, literally only one way of killing them and it never gives you a clue as to what it is...trial and error.

viking is a very very good game, very underated, its alot better than most people give credit for, better than alot of games that got way way over hyped, star wars is actually a decent game, i was thinking when i played demo it would be cack.... any way BATMAN how old are you.... you keep going on about pro evo, i played the full GAME TODAY AT GAME... and lets say if it werent for the legend thing.............. lets keep it at that shall we... dont want spoil it for you, but long live fifa, i was a big big pro fan but the last fifa 08 plus euro 2008 shows to me that they mean buisness, everyone one goes on about the fifa demo being to slow too fast to arcadey, well if you play with chelsea its going to be a fast paced game a sthe prem is if you play with milan its going to be slow, and so on....... you get what i,m saying.... think thats why they have brought out this new custom tactic thing which looks like it going to be a good thing....anyway i,m going to stop going on now... i shall get both games, and enjoy both............

They've just shown a FOUR MINUTE advert for Fifa 08 featuring the cover stars inbetween Chelsea vs Man Utd.

Showed off the 10 vs 10 multiplayer, Man Utd Vs Real Madrid.

COMPLETELY SONY BASED. Starts with "SONY" and ends like it, multiple shots of the ps3 controller, ps3 console.

Quite suprised by that to be honest. No...very suprised.

Don't Sony/Playstation sponsor the FIFA Interactive World Cup? on the Playstation Network etc?

Nonetheless, it's coming out on all formats.

Perhaps with Microsoft releasing a PES2009 bundle with that new (shit, waste of time) controller Sony figured they'd go with Fifa.

EA do a lot of ports for the PS3. They did Orange Box because Valve hate the PS3.

Indeed, maybe with the cost of 4 minutes advertising slap bang in the middle of Chelsea v United they decided to split the cost?

thought there might've been an online version too.....

FD · Post by FD » Sun Sep 21, 2008 4:20 pm

Not sure, will post it if I find one but I saw it advertised (the advert) on a gaming site.

EDIT: Advert here - http://fifa09.ea.com/uk/page/dynpid/11367/

Also, in case you've not seen it, a video that shows the "live season" aspects. If a player is great one weekend, his stats are updated accordingly, if he's shit, the same. They will be doing updates in this mode every weekend based on performances in the leagues.

http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=13977

Oh and the 10vs10 modes will be supporting clans : http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=234391

The clans support up to 50 players, giving you a pool from which to draw the strongest team for the ten-a-side Be A Pro online matches.

Those not picked can either sulk or cobble together another squad to go off and take part in other, simultaneous matches.

Clubs will initially be sorted by their points total (not sure how you earn those) and placed in one of many divisions. The season then opens and everybody goes bananas in an effort to be crowned the best of the best.

Club Managers (clan leaders) will also be free to scout and poach other players. There's no word on the intricacies of this, though.

Amazing stuff to be honest.

Duke Nukem 3D was the XBLA game yesterday!

Co-op and Versus modes included...(8 player!)

You can record your game and upload it, also when you die, go back to any point as it's recording all the time.

Reminds me of way back, playing modem games with my mates.

Absolute brilliant buy for 800 MS points!
