SEGA looks set to enter the football sim market with World Football Climax...
After years of Virtua Strikers and SEGA Worldwide Soccer's, details have today emerged of a new footie title from the Japanese developer/publisher that promises to offer a more serious take on the world's favourite sport.
Despite a highly creative promotional trailer making use of cell-shaded visuals and stylish designs, World Football Climax promises an experience closer to that of Konami's superlative Pro Evolution series.
Currently in development for the Playstation2 and scheduled for an unspecified Japanese release in 2006, SEGA have secured licenses for the Spanish LFP, the Dutch Eredivisie and Gouden Gids along with the J-League.
Early details hint at more than 7000 players within the game taken from Europe's 6 major leagues, along with a unique "one-on-one" gameplay feature that makes use of a dynamic camera setup.
TVG will have more on World Football Climax soon.
