More Captured Faces Than Ever

Tech developed by Glasgow-based digital capture firm Dimensional Imaging will be used by EA Sports to pack FIFA 13 with more realistic faces than ever before, according to Mike Harrison, director of EA Capture at Electronic Arts:

“We recognised a few years ago that raising the quality of facial appearance was an increasing priority for our game teams. Working closely with Dimensional Imaging has allowed us to develop a highly accurate 3D facial capture pipeline that is now so efficient that we can apply it to more characters than we ever thought possible.”

Dimensional Imaging CEO Colin Urquhart added his own take on the continued success of the working relationship:

“The relentless increase in the quality of computer graphics makes it ever more necessary to capture real life human likenesses in order to create believable virtual characters, but this process has traditionally been very time consuming for video game development.”

The Five Major Improvements

FIFA 13′s producer David Rutter unveiled details to everyone present at the recent London showcase that FIFA 13 which showed that the next addition to EA Sports’ behemoth football franchise will enjoy 5 major improvements alongside a few other additions that he personally would like to see implemented in FIFA 13. Rutter said that he would like to see new types of passes, new animations for goalkeepers, improved referee behaviours and new atmospherics like crowd animations, all of which would go down well.

Those 5 major improvements are as follows:

First Touch Control

The new control system will affect the way players can retrieve passes from teammates, with success being determined by certain factors like pass power, speed, height and the receiving player’s technical ability. Sounds like

Player Impact Engine

Set for further improvement in FIFA 13, the Player Impact Engine will continue to wipe out all of the unrealistic animations that used to result from collisions between players with new body areas set to be affected by the game’s physics engine including the players hips and chests.

Complete Dribble

A whole new dribble system will come in, which will require a lot more of the player than simple directional changes.

Tactical Free-Kicks

In FIFA 13, free kick taking will change: now you will be able to bring up to three players up to gather around the ball in order to disorientate the goalkeeper and hopefully misdirect the taker’s intentions. Dummy kicks will also come in, as the player will be able to feign a direct shot on goal before choosing a pass at the last moment to a teammate who will be able to detach from wall.

Attacking AI

Clever opponents makes for a harder game experience, but a more rewarding one in the long-run, and FIFA 13′s new AI will have opponents tracking the most efficient routes to the ball as well as anticipating a broader range of passes from team-mates, and doing their utmost to avoid being flagged offside. For veterans, that will spell a richer experience, and newer gamers will enjoy a steeper learning curve no doubt. All in the name of good sports simulation.

...and finally Pro Clubs

Search filters will now be implemented into the extremely popular Pro Clubs mode. You will be able to filter your search by ANY or not. Virtual Pro GK filter is also a likely to accompany this. No more playing against the CPU and/or VP GKs?

Electronic Arts will celebrate UEFA EURO 2012™ with the only officially licensed videogame of the 2012 European Football Championship, which begins June 8 in Poland and Ukraine. UEFA EURO 2012™ will be available from April 24th as an expansion pack to fans who own EA SPORTS FIFA 12 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It will be priced at £15.99 (1,800 MS Points or 2,500 FIFA Points on PC). UEFA EURO 2012 will recreate all the drama and excitement of the official tournament with all 53 UEFA member national teams, all eight official stadiums in the tournament, and all the pageantry and atmosphere of one of the largest and most-watched sporting events on the planet.

Here is a look at the Expedition Game Mode featured in Fifa's next DLC. It is very similar to how Fifa Street works, where you can beat countries and take players from their teams based on how many victories you have had against them. This shows every angle available in the new game mode. Don't forget the DLC comes out tomorrow for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. See you on the pitch!
