Ubisoft going head-to-head with EA? Pure Futbol announced

The press release:

UBISOFT® KICKS OFF PURE FUTBOL™ IN MAY 2010

Experience the Raw Sensation of the Soccer Field

San Francisco – March 4, 2010 – Today, Ubisoft® announced Pure Futbol, an entirely new sports brand that is being developed by Ubisoft Vancouver. The game will be available worldwide in May 2010.

Pure Futbol is a new and unique vision of soccer 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 soccer action, as opposed to the feeling of watching a TV broadcast.

Pure Futbol will include 230 elite soccer players, 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 soccer.

    DrLiam Many have tried to compete with EA, many more have failed. Good luck Ubisoft!

    Butters PES 2010 by Konami is actually pretty good, it can hold its own. I've never cared for the PES series until EA's failure to provide the PC community with anything worthwhile. On the console, perhaps its a different story. I hope this reaches PC.

    NiGHTS Indirect competition - 5v5 would make it more of a competitor to the now defunct (AFAIK) FIFA Street series. This is going to play as an arcadey and quicker paced game.

Howdy, Stranger!
