FIFA on PlayStation Vita Hands-on Preview
FIFA Vita Producer Matt Prior came up on stage to talk a little bit about FIFA Vita, where he described it as “the most complete and deep FIFA on a handheld console” – saying that it was “Full of depth from EA Sports” with career mode and online gameplay all included in the Vita version. But how does it play?
The first thing we noticed was the sheer beauty of the graphics in this build of FIFA Vita. EA has seemingly used every pixel possible to make this game look very impressive indeed. The colours are rich and deep in the menus as well as on the pitch. Having played FIFA 11 on the PSP just recently, the Vita’s power is really a gargantuan leap forward for handheld gaming, something which is sure to please those that decide to buy the handheld when it launches in Europe on February 22nd, 2012.
New to FIFA Vita will be the use of touch screen controls. Players can literally touch which player they want to pass to, and the same goes for shooting and set pieces. For shooting, players can utilise the rear touch panel on the Vita and think of it as a virtual goal — wherever players tap on the rear, is where the players aim, “taking the shooting away from the AI and giving it back to the player” said Prior. Free-kicks are also a little more versatile, and players can swipe the screen to set the amount of curve they want to have on a free kick. All of these things are optional of course, and players can play in the conventional way should they choose to.
Obviously we took the touch controls for a spin, and the results were mixed. While in concept they sound amazing, we found it pretty hard to add another process to what is already a game which requires sharp reactions and decision making from the player. Lifting the right hand from the controller to touch a player we wanted to pass to and then getting back to the buttons to either play a first time cross or shot takes extra time, meaning defenders can be right on top of you before you have the right amount of power in the cross or shot.

Allerdings bin ich noch etwas skeptisch was das Passen auf dem Display angeht. Das sieht in dem neuen Video (siehe News
) etwas umständlich aus, aber wird wohl Gewöhnungssache sein.
