EA wants everyone to be prepared for the next big sports event of 2010 with these images of 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. With no less than 199 national teams, the game will mostly appeal to those who enjoy the atmopshere of a worldwide competition, but it will also be interesting to see the improvements it should bring to Fifa 10.

This is the definition of milking the cow.
I wouldn't mind buying a DLC for new stadiums and celebrations and stuff... but a whole "new" game just for this? Bleh.

here is your answer btw:
"Question: So. Your game. Can you tell me what was behind the decision to create a new title specifically for the World Cup, rather than just providing a new downloadable package for the occasion?
Simon Humber: As you are limited with what you can do with downloadable content you would not be able to deliver a World Cup experience; it just wouldn’t be possible. Realistically, doing it that way you’d end up with a World Cup of 32 teams playing at Stanford Bridge in the snow. It just wouldn’t be the full experience.
The World Cup is the biggest sports event in the World. Qualification happens from the six confederation cups and 199 teams entered in to the main tournament from qualification, so it just wouldn’t be possible to capture this experience in download form, even if we wanted to."
Sell FIFA 10 and but this for £25 if people think it isnt worth £40 but to say this game isnt justified and should be DLC is just extremely ignorant and stupid
Anyway I might buy it because I'm a big football fan, but I really hope this isn't gonna cost me the same price as a normal fifa.
Please let there be new animations and skills but also an update to the engine!
DLC or a Downloadable game would be more appropriate, that's all I'm saying.
But if the game costs the right price, then I'm happy ^^.
They're talking about it on inside xbox on the 360..the improvements are minimal
@Gangstarr, oh right, a developer/publisher always speaks the truth. ALWAYS. Sorry, I AM stupid for not believing that.
if you thinks its same as FIFA10 then why do you care? great you got FIFA10 so you arent missing anything right?
for me the fact that the world cup tournament is available online is the selling point. they did something similar for EURO08 and that was the first time i actually played a football game online, i am usually a single player man (or 2 players on same console). there is also other stuff but no point of me going into that is therE?

Euro 2008 is a great example of this; it was a far cry from FIFA 08 in many regards, and is what actually got me into this generation of FIFA games. In fact, I'd go as far to say that Euro 2008 is the most important FIFA game of all time in terms of what it represented. Because games like this serve as 'filler titles', you people just assume it's not worth the dough and can be drafted in via DLC.
The same people who probably pay full price for half-arsed sequels.
What i'm personally saying is that the improvements and adjustments that i have so far learned of this do not convince me it deserves it's full retail asking price. And why anybody would expect there to be a new games worth of improvements over their last game that was released not even 6months ago i don't know - you'd have to tell me as you're apparently of that belief.
Fact is EA themselves have said they're going to start pushing their "project ten dollar" onto their sports games - games that have the biggest tradein's for EA, with digital subscriptions/micro transactions. So you can bet that you'll see such improvements incorporated to an existing title via dlc.
its not made by the the exact same team as FIFA10 people
c'mon drift wood , give us a video !!

As GangStarr correctly points out, the team behind this game isn't identical to the one behind FIFA 10; a section of workers branch off after the release of the 'major' FIFA titles to work on projects such as this, joining those already working on it. This is not therefore something that simply gets grinded out in a short space of time, but is given considerable care and thought out even prior to the release of the previous FIFA. You only have to do a little bit of research to see that.
I'm not even saying that this is worth a full-price purchase - if you want my honest opinion, it shouldn't be released at retail price - but to say that it could be released as DLC for what would probably be a pretty small sum? Nah, I can't see that being plausible.

The fact that it's developed by a different branch of EA's fifa canadian team removes nothing from A) the game hitting so soon since fifa 10, with fifa 11 a few months behind it's heels. B) the punchline still being the same - a full retail release with apparent minimal effert.
You yourself don't think it warrents a full retail price..and you're on the fifa defence force. So whats your problem with people preferring that this would of been offered as DLC for quater of the cost?
