What’s the story?
Players and managers in FIFA 18 are going to look so much better than their predecessors. Frostbite Studio Director Jonas Skantz spoke to Dream Team Gaming last year and said that despite running on the same engine, FIFA 18 will be a revolution in terms of visual quality.
The context
A raft of changes are expected to be seen when gamers lay their hands on FIFA 18. From animation and skin complexion to hair detail and eye movements, every minute aspect is going to be dealt with and brought to the fore. FIFA 18 is going to stand out from the rest for sure.
The heart of the matter
FIFA 18 is going to hit the shelves in October, like previous instalments. Over the years, EA Sports have made sure to portray footballers and even the managers as similar to their real life counterparts as possible. Fan craze is likely to be high after another huge season for a lot of teams across the major leagues.
No doubt, it would be a step up considering all the technical advancements of late. With the best facilities on offer, issues such as dead eyes and ‘stuck on’ hair will likely be resolved.
Skin tones will also be all the more realistic in this latest version of the game. A lot of animations will be introduced and many others will be tweaked and modified. It would almost exude the feel of a movie rather than a game at times. Also, brace yourself for a lot of action in the technical area as managers will come to life like never before.
What’s next?
FIFA’s introduction of The Journey generated a massive response from its fandom. Let’s find out what FIFA 18 has in store for the fans as far as surprise element is concerned. Although other games have left FIFA behind by leaps and bounds in terms of visual quality, this latest instalment seems promising to be on a level field with them.
Author’s take
The fascination of FIFA fans with regards to the lifelike portrayal of their heroes is well known. FIFA 18 will go a long way in setting the bar quite high for its successors. As they say, it’s in the game!
