First FIFA Street 3 details announced
360 News | Street soccer returns in early 2008.

EA officially announced FIFA Street 3 a few months ago but today they've provided the first details for the EA Canada developed game. FIFA Street 3 will be the first version of the game to hit the new generation of consoles, and see 250 players representing 18 countries compete in real world locations for street soccer glory. Each player has been rendered into a stylised charicature with "heroic" qualities, and will have a individualised style of play and unique abilities. New to FIFA Street are the Gamebreaker moves, which we previously saw in NBA Street. The game also happens to use the same graphics engine as NBA Street: Homecourt, so it's bound to look lovely.
"We have completely re-invented the FIFA Street franchise by turning the game’s biggest stars into action heroes using art direction that makes you look twice," said Joe Nickolls, producer on the project. "The power of the Next Generation hardware gives us the horsepower to break new ground for consumers, making it the perfect stage to enjoy a multi-player, sports action arcade experience. Casual gamers and sports fans can expect a simplified control system that makes it easier to perform spectacular moves and enjoy the game with friends, yet still be a challenging experience for more seasoned gamers."
FIFA Street 3 will be available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 early in 2008. For the first screens of the game, have a gander at the media panel.
