FIFA has said it will “launch new football video games developed with third-party studios and publishers”, with the governing body’s president, Gianni Infantino, vowing in a statement that these titles would be “THE BEST”.

“I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans,” he said.

“The FIFA name is the only global, original title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25 and FIFA 26, and so on — the constant is the FIFA name and it will remain forever and remain THE BEST.”

FIFA vows to make its own video game

FIFA has vowed to make its own video game after EA Sports said on Tuesday that it would no longer make titles in partnership with world football’s governing body. EA has said it will continue to make football video games, but from 2023 they will come under a new banner: EA Sports FC. It is...

"real game."

 

[SJRB]

This guy has no idea what the fuck he's talking about.

 

[Kuranghi]

This will end well.

 

[Randall365]

Gianni Infantino's judgment is absolutely fantatsic by the way

 

[cormack12]

They don't have a game after 2022. And they don't have a developer. Good luck with that

 

[A.Romero]

Can't wait to see them fail.

I'm sorry for the section of the market that might get confused and gets FIFA game when what they really want is EA's. That's all the possible sales that I can see FIFA getting.

 

[ManaByte]

Watch them be mobile games.

 

[Aion002]

 

[Belthazar]

He has no idea what he's talking about and I'm very curious to see how FIFA 24 will turn out (if they ever find a publisher willing to pay up that is)

 

[kyliethicc]

Imagine wanting to be paid billions for practically nothing. lol

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder who they will get? Konami? 2k?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Turd sandwich vs giant douche

 

[MOTM]

 

[Shubh_C63]

I wish both of these companies bad luck. So this is a win win situation.

 

[GymWolf]

So they are gonna create fifa 23 in less than a year of development?

Good luck.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Remember how that worked out for MLB because nobody wanted the third party licensee?

So they went to Sony's king of baseball after their games failed and worked out a deal for 3rd party license instead of Sony's standard 1st party license.

So they are gonna create fifa 23 in less than a year of development?

Good luck.

Hey now, there are clowns on here who thought that about the MLB situation where they attempted to paint Sony's back against the wall. When that was further from the truth.

 

[Jennings]

I just want a FIFA branded Rocket League.

“I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans,” he said.

Waiting for consumers tell "It's definitively the best. It's written on it"

 

[winjer]

LOL. These guys at Fifa probably think making games is child's play.
They are about to get a serious wake up call.

 

[Punished Miku]

Yeah, they have no clue. They're done. Idiots probably looked down on games and have no idea what kind of insane investment it takes to remain competitive.

If I was them I'd shop it out to teams in China. No one else is willing to pay that much for a license. Konami could maybe make a good game, but they would never pay that much for a license. They totally wrecked themselves on this.

 

[Aguero9320]

Fuck FIFA. They aren't a brand anyone respects.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Yeah, sure... because a game is just a name, and not the product of years of investment, like EA did to it.

Good luck to FIFA, these greedy fuckers...

Actually...

 

[Jaybe]

If EA wasn’t going to pay FIFA’s asking price, no one will. Would you even get the Premier League teams and rosters with just the FIFA license?

 

[nush]

Well, I'm convinced.

 

[ClosBSAS]

This guy has no idea what the fuck he's talking about.

And ea has no idea how to make a good football game since 2015. So I really hope ea's crap ends with this and we get real football games not some bullshit card p2w simulator.

 

[anthony2690]

Let's be honest the fifa game franchise is dead now, honestly who is going to pay 1 billion for the FIFA name? Especially when it doesn't come with any off the important stuff like teams and player likenesses.

[HoofHearted]

You be you OP FIFA (sorry OP). Keep up the good fight.

In other news…

I think this game will change it's name to Fifa soon:

Ufl gameplay reveal video.

If it turns out to be true, I will create a twitter account as a reliable insider.

Fixed - my bad - that's what I get for reading on my phone without corrective lenses..

 

[Catphish]

Loved NFL2K, licensing bullshit insures I'll never see that again
Loved EA's MVP Baseball, licensing bullshit insures I'll never see that again
Loved EA's FIFA World Cup games, licensing bullshit insures I'll never see that again

Too bad I don't love the NBA.

They sound like trump saying he'll replace Twitter after being banned.

WTF.

I wish them the worst.

Gameloft

A lot of people really liked playing FIFA as it was, and they blame the RL FIFA for killing the FIFA videogame.

EA is far from the worst company/organization around.

FIFA, on the other hand, is right up there with Umbrella and Shinra.

 

[Skifi28]

A lose-lose situation if I ever saw one.

You all should see United Passions and repent.

"In the United States, the film grossed $918 in its opening weekend, was lambasted by critics as propaganda, and is considered to be one of the worst films of all time. The film was also a major box-office bomb, losing $26.8 million worldwide[1] and failing to obtain a theatrical distribution in many markets."

That's the Babylon's Fall of movies.
