Ubisoft to take on Fifa/Pro Evol at its own game with "Pure Football" for PC/360/PS3 + first screenshots
Written by Play2Compete
Ubisoft have announced Pure Football which to my eyes looks to have more than just a little in common with the presumably now defunct Fifa Street than the regular 11 a side game. In development by Ubisoft Vancouver, the game is expected to be available worldwide in May 2010.
Pure Football is a new and unique vision of football video games, emphasizing the intense, physical and spectacular aspects of the sport. The over-the-shoulder camera and visceral audio dynamically react to the context of the match, placing the gamer in the heart of the five-a-side football action, as opposed to the feeling of watching a TV broadcast.
Pure FootballTM will include 230 elite footballers, 17 international teams, and 17 legendary players. Gamers will have the opportunity to create their own customized athlete who can progress through the campaign mode to ultimately test themselves against the world’s best players in the final tournament. Up to four people can play multiplayer locally and 1vs1 matches are supported online, along with the inclusion of leaderboards that allow players to match up to one another and celebrate the pure competitive nature of football.
