FIFA 06 — что новенького?
«Агент» сайта
www.gamespy.com, побывавший на демо-показе FIFA 06 для XBox, отмечает, что упор в новой фифе сделан именно на графику, на высокую реалистичность.
Демонстрация, устроенная на стенде EA, представляла собой не играбельную версию FIFA 06 — это было всего лишь пенальти, где надо просто нажать кнопку. Причем камера летала таким образом, чтобы показать все графические навороты. О геймплее — ни звука... Видимо, после того как геймеры охаяли патентованный EA-евский «Ball-Off Control» и не заметили патентованный EA-еский «First-Touch», ребята все-таки сдались и решили делать то, что у них получается лучше:
• высокая детализация моделей — в одной только голове полигонов больше, чем во всем теле игрока из 2005 фифы
• качественные текстуры — на футболках видны швы
• мимика, эмоции игроков — по словам продюсера EA, на лица может одновременно накладываться 8 различных эффектов
• трава с отдельными травинками, в которой утопает мяч и бутсы
• объемные зрители
Не факт, что все это останется при переносе на PC, если таковой вообще состоится (официальной информации пока нет, но говорят, что релиз для PC точно будет).
