[Steve_OS]

Award-winning gameplay now on PC

Electronic Arts announced today that the football engine that drives the award-winning EA SPORTS FIFA gameplay on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 has arrived for FIFA 11 PC. Two years in development, the console game engine has been optimised for PC, delivering next-generation console-quality gameplay, game modes and visuals to FIFA 11 PC.

"The EA SPORTS FIFA franchise is committed to investing and innovating for PC and this is a watershed moment," said Executive Producer Kaz Makita. "We are delivering to FIFA 11 PC the high-quality gameplay, innovative game modes and stunning graphics that have made FIFA the highest-rated sports game on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and winner of over 50 sports game of the year awards."

The physics-based, data-driven technology behind the EA SPORTS football engine has been optimised for PC to deliver true freedom on the pitch with individuality of player control and movement, sophisticated ball touches, and physical interaction between players. FIFA 11 PC will feature the market-leading true 360° dribbling system that gives players precise control of the ball and next-generation animation technology that delivers Skilled Dribbling, enabling skilled dribblers to face defenders and use highly responsive lateral dribbling to skip past them. Plus, Physical Play has been improved using collision sharing, creating a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between players.

FIFA 11 PC features and game modes will be revealed in the coming weeks and months.

FIFA 11 will be available in stores on 1 October across Europe and Asia for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and PSP.

Good news for PC users. Last PC Fifas were stale and didn't improve much

Awesome. Can't wait to see what the mod community is able to with this.

And uh... I don't think you can still call it next-gen, EA. We're like plus four years into the current generation of consoles, leave the the next-gen stuff back in 2007 where it belongs. I'm just sayin'...

Good to hear. Hope they come out with a Mac version. Thinking PC/Mac for both games this year. Modding community adds so much, hard to ignore it.

This is awesome. I really hope people actually buy this. I'm primarily a pc'er. Mods should make the game even sicker. Hopefully madden, ncaa, and others take lead. Also, my top notch pc will make this look BEAUTIFUL. I love aa.

I'll probably pick this up on PC as well. The customization will probably be crazy!
