EA Sports Confirms 2014 FIFA World Cup in Development

[Maxflier]

I can't see this not being a standalone game. A World Cup game appeals to a whole lot more people than UEFA Euro. Anyone interested in Euro would be someone who already owns the standalone Fifa game. You can't expect the casuals to go out and buy Fifa 14 AND then pay for the DLC on top of that to play a World Cup game.

The way it
Was announced it will definitely be a stand alone game.

And it'll be next gen only, shamely.

NBA Live 14 and UFC aren't coming from this generation, who doubts about 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil?

Given that the FIFA series is by far EA's biggest seller, I can almost guarantee that this game comes out on 360 and PS3 as well.

UFC is a brand new series and Live had been discontinued for a few years on current gen. This means they would have had to build these games from the ground up on 360 and PS3 whereas the World Cup game uses the same engine as FIFA.

I agree should be on previous gen as well

I just want all the teams. World Cup games are always one of my favorite games to play.

No way it doesn't come out on 360 & PS3.

This is great news. I'm a PS3 owner, and will not be getting a PS4 for a while, so I am desperately hoping it comes out on current gen (which it SHOULD due to their large market across the globe).

My buddies and I have an exam time tradition- once the final exam is written, we all pile into my cramped basement and go on a qualifying run on WC2010 with Canada. Some years we play it on WC2006 for the ol' PS2.

We're all graduating this year, and so far in six attempts:

Grade 9, 1st Semester- WC2006 w/Canada, Made WC, Out in Group Stage
Grade 9, 2nd Semester- WC2006 w/Canada, Out in final Q Round
Grade 10, 1st Semester- WC2010 w/San Marino, Out in Q Round
Grade 10, 2nd Semester- WC2010 w/Canada, Out in final Q Round
Grade 11, 1st Semester- WC2006 w/Canada, Lost Semi to Uruguay 2-1
Grade 11, 2nd Semester- WC 2010 w/Canada, Lost Qtr Final to Norway 3-1

GRADE 12- TBD.

So very excited for another World Cup Game, hopefully the tradition of quality games continues! (and let's all hope this is better than that rubbish EURO 2012 DLC)
