Looks like this may be the "Fight Night" of sweat graphics for this new generation.

Gonna be interesting to what changes, if any, come to My Player mode with the added horsepower. Maybe more than one voice for interviews and press conferences? One can hope.

Wow, that's gorgeous looking.

Also, hey, Phil Collins makes for good trailers when it's ACTUALLY PHIL COLLINS. Take note, Dead Space 3.

EA has really been fucking up their Live advertisement. For a series with a such a troubled past, you'd think they'd do a better job with that sort of thing.

Anyway, I WANT 2k14 INSIDE OF ME RIGHT NOW.

Well with WatchDogs delayed I've been thinking about picking up a different game in its place. Think I might have decided on what game that will be now.

Assuming this still has the MyPlayer / MyCareer stuff, I'll probably pick this up.

Mighty impressive looking considering this is the first next-gen effort. Can only go up from here, maybe sports games will be worth spending money on again. (Or even playing in some cases)

No. Not at all. Deep sim with very intense controls.

I think i just found my launch game.

My god, the jerseys no longer float ten feet off of players' shoulders! Still a tiny bit physics-twitchy, but they finally stopped looking like someone is aiming a fan at them from the side.

As a guy currently playing this on PC, I hope there are some gameplay improvements too, because the visual leap on this over the 1080p60 PC version is... not much. I think maybe the cloth simulation is a bit better and there may be some more facial animation? Maaaybe?

I was just about to bring up that video. For those who haven't seen it, here is your Phil Collins-esque/Dead Space trailer.

Next-gen cloth and beard tech!

Also, I'm going to link to the time I sang this song to open an 80's concert. I don't want to embed it here because...well, I don't want to. (shameless plug!!)

And a little bit of a duckface in the lip area it seemed.

That's what I'm saying...
After they released that first screenshot I checked screens on Steam for the PC version.
PC looks like shit compared to this.

Same with FIFA. The ignite engine wont be used on PC ports of future FIFA games and the PC version of FIFA is basically FIFA 10.

Yesterday they dropped a teaser for a full trailer on Friday, and it doesn't really look all that great.
