FIFA 14: the new graphics engine Ignite missing on PC , EA says
Electronic Arts has developed a new engine for its sport Ignite . He must take his first steps on One Xbox and PlayStation 4 on titles like Madden 25 and FIFA 2014. However , EA has chosen not to wear the engine on PC and has justified his choice before our colleagues Polygon .
The decision not to Ignite PC engine has surprised many , especially as machines tailored for the game are sometimes more powerful than the Xbox or PlayStation One 4. PC gamers therefore benefit from the same version of the game that the owners of PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.
Andrew Wilson, Executive Director of EA Sports it is a very logical choice and he explained to our colleagues Polygon. "Even if there are a few PCs on the market that are able to run this engine , the vast majority of machines can not. And the majority of the player base who purchase this title on PC does not have a computer capable of doing and run , "said the officer. The Origin statistics have spoken, the average player of FIFA 13 on PC so only use that entry or mid-range machine. It should be noted with some amusement that the same excuse was resservie deFIFA until exit 11 when players complained that the previous games on PC were based on the graphics engine used by the PlayStation 2 version of the title .
However, that PC gamers can rest assured that EA Sports does not exclude completely the arrival of Ignite engine on PC " but few things must happen before ," said Andrew Wilson. "First the average PC configuration , not the computers in general , but the PCs of those wanting to buy FIFA on this platform needs to catch up . Second, there must be adjustments relating to the operation of fifa ultimate team coins EA Sports Ignite to bring into the open the PC environment rather than in the closed architecture of consoles . "
We only worry because it already took five years before the PC version is catching up available on PS3 and Xbox 360 because their engine is the same for FIFA 06 . Going to the World Cup and it was not until FIFA 11 for the PC version starts at game consoles the appointment is made for the end of 2018 ... ...
