FIFA 11 on PC will offer you a “next gen” experience

If there was one genre where consoles are miles ahead of the PC, it would be the sports genre. FIFA 11 is about to change that though. EA announced that this year’s game will feature a brand new, next-gen game engine that’s been in development for two years, finally delivering the next gen experience that we’ve seen on the consoles.

“The EA SPORTS FIFA franchise is committed to investing and innovating for PC and this is a watershed moment,” said Executive Producer Kaz Makita. “We are delivering to FIFA 11 PC the high quality gameplay, innovative game modes and stunning graphics that have made FIFA the highest rated sports game on the PlayStation3 and Xbox 360 and winner of over 50 sports game of the year awards.”

The physics-based, data-driven technology behind the EA SPORTS football engine has been optimised for PC to deliver true freedom on the pitch with individuality of player control and movement, sophisticated ball touches, and physical interaction between players. FIFA 11 PC will feature the market-leading true 360° dribbling system that gives players precise control of the ball and next generation animation technology that delivers Skilled Dribbling, enabling skilled dribblers to face defenders and use highly responsive lateral dribbling to skip past them. Plus, Physical Play has been improved using collision sharing, creating a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between players.

Full features and game modes for FIFA 11 PC will be revealed in the “coming weeks and months”, with the game releasing in Europe on October 1st, 2010 for every single platform.
