Forums - Sony - EA loves Vita: Fifa 14 is the 2nd reskin of the launch game Fifa Football

FIFA 14 on Vita is another reskin

FIFA is coming to the Vita for the third year in a row with FIFA 14 - and it'll essentially be the same game that accompanied the launch of Sony's handheld.

Last year FIFA 13 on the Vita raised eyebrows when it became apparent it was exactly the same game as launch title FIFA Soccer but with new kits and players added. This year the deal's much the same.

"There will be a Vita version, and it'll be the same great gameplay," EA Sports' David Rutter told Eurogamer at Gamescom in Cologne. Asked whether that means it's the very same gameplay that appeared on FIFA's debut on the Vita, Rutter confirmed: "It's the same great gameplay and new kits."

FIFA 14 on the Vita is developed by an EA studio in Romania that's separate from the main team in Vancouver, although they do now help with versions of FIFA 14 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Whether the reskinning of a two year old game will inspire EA to lower the premium price FIFA's had on the Vita in recent years remains to be seen. "I have nothing to do with the prices, but I'll be clear," said Rutter. "It's the same great gameplay. And obviously with any new kits."

There's no real reason to update it every year aside from roster if the base is good. Just do 3 easy iterations while you have the main studio spend time on new mechanics etc for the big jump one every 3 years.

Though, it would be nice for the prices to be priced accordingly. like 60-30-30, 60-20-20, whatever floats your boat or something like expansion packs.

Fuck EA ! They should be ashamed to sell this for full price !

Again?? I'd really love FIFA on Vita, but I'm not buying it until they update it or I'll feel ripped off. For shame, EA.

heck no.. fifa football was based on Fifa 11.. Fifa 12, 13 and probably 14 are way better.. they should add mechanics from the console games to the Vita version every year... there is no reason why they keep improving the base on the console version and not the handheld version besides sheer laziness and  a quick buck.. heck they also keep improving the base on the iOS version every year.

can you read, or are you an idiot? read two lines down.

Generally Speaking. Having a longer developmental cycle would increase polish and features more by having a focused development allowing them to implement all the major features and engine updates on a 3 year cycle just the way the want them. Than having the dev teams throwing shit at the wall every year with alot of features and modes hit or miss.

Not good enough EA :( The price should be lower, however it's not surprising, the Vita needs a bigger install base to justify a larger development outlay. New price cut should help the Vita:) Maybe Fifa 2015 will get a real update!

Konami had this to say about PES 2014 not being on the Vita, at least Fifa is on the Vita!

Bhatti also said that no 3DS release was planned as “no-one bought” PES 2013 on 3DS and that a Vita version is not planned because: “The install base isn't great. We're doing a PSP version because there's still demand for it. A very small team work on it. Very small.”
