The Return of Sensible Soccer

[fitbabits]

In news that's likely only to stir the loins of people who refer to soccer as football (me, for example), Next Generation (http://www.next-gen.biz) is reporting that British developer Codemasters has announced that they are developing a version of the seminal Sensible Soccer for PS2, Xbox and PC (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1480&Itemid=2).

"We are doing everything in our power to modernise and recreate the sheer playability, fun and footballing depth of the original and remind the playing public just what they have been missing out in the current market of slow, drab sims."
This is great news! My only hope is that they don't make a complete balls-up of it. Balls-up! Get it? Never mind, I'll get my coat.

Eh, bring back the old nintendo soccer game and I'll be happy. The one were you kicked people with the ball and they passed out. That and River City Ransom 360, oooo, that would be cool.

Woohoo, I'd certainly buy Sensible Soccer for the name alone :)

But as the man said in the interview the "fantastic retro Plug 'n' Play TV version of the game", which I have, which is a perfect conversion sooo.. ? Omg it might have threedee graphix!!!111 ¬_¬

Totally against sensi that is! We'll see tho, if it's still top down, they get bonus points.

Glad to see that they got Jon Hare with them too. That guy was my idol when I was a kid. I can still remember every level on Cannon Fodder.

That depends on who you ask, I suppose. :)

Balls have been mentioned.....and Kelegacy hasn't posted yet....scary....

[nonchalance]

This is the single best soccer game ever.
I hate soccer, and I love this game.
People who love soccer love this game.
Everybody who plays it loves this game.

Yeah, Codemasters have really put their arses on the line, and if there's a cock-up they're really going to be red in the face /double-entendre

[Parsifal]

I hope that you still just use a single button. That would be very impressive for a modern game.

In case you haven't noticed, the Internet is a multinational entity. Just because this news doesn't interest *most* Americans doesn't mean it's not news.

Sweet!!! :D

Sensible World of Soccer was one of my Favourite Football Games!! :D
