Bryn Posted 3 September 2008 Share Posted 3 September 2008 I reckon you'll decide whether to use it on installation. I think it'll be an optional install and if you don't want it you don't install it and you use the 2D one. It sounds like they've had it in development for ages, maybe they'll pull it off?

Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 September 2008 Share Posted 3 September 2008 To be fair that 3D match engine could be unbelievably good, just from the glimpse on the YouTube video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they've had this in development since 2005 at least. I still forsee patch after patch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be working on the premise of whether a) the graphics are good enough and b) it's as good as the 2D engine for identifying mistakes you've made or improving things etc. For me, I'd add c) using the 2D engine they've been able to make it resemble a football match in the sense that it seems like anything can happen. With a 3D engine, you'd have to program in so many moves (?) for each player that it would have to end up being infinitely better than Pro Evo/FIFA. I don't know how they're going to pull it off. I've seen 3D engines for management games before for replays, say, and they've only programmed in 10 or 20 types of goal and after a while you get sick of seeing the same goals being scored over and over, if that makes sense. Interesting times. The "work in progress" bit suggests they're still not sure whether to go with it? Unless it has been confirmed somewhere.

No that's potentially a good shout, there's no written confirmation anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 3 September 2008 Share Posted 3 September 2008 I've known SI have been working on 3D for awhile, but I wasn't expecting them to do it this year (wish i'd known before I told 3 of them yesterday that I didn't think FM was ready for 3D yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilboFox Posted 3 September 2008 Share Posted 3 September 2008 Balls... I was hoping I'd start the FM 2009 thread as I did the 08 one... never mind. The announcement was rubbish... was just people talking about the game which is no use at all... the only thing that was slightly interesting was the 3D match engine which will either be a massive hit, or be a complete disaster... I personally like the dots but if the 3D engine is good, I may be swayed. It'd have to be very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilboFox Posted 3 September 2008 Share Posted 3 September 2008 Basic marketing? Pointless then... the information on the game is all that we need to know about... hearing that they have someone who used to work in football helping them out does not make me want to buy the game... hearing about the changes does.

You'll still buy the game. And moaning about it is just free publicity for them. Look, we're still talking about it. Still. Free publicity. Sports Interactive. Football Manager 2009. Still.

Suspense, build up, introduction to non-fans. Can't see why you are moaning.

It's seriously not that exciting... plus, to have 10 minutes of him rambling on about nothing to do with the game is pretty boring so the second part is the only bit I needed to watch really. What WILL be exciting is the demo and then the actual release... THAT is worth getting excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
