EA Sports took the stage today during the Xbox One event, showing off just what's in store for the future of its sports titles on next-gen consoles. Just how real will sports games look on next-gen consoles?
How's a foot to the face for a prime example of EA Sports Ignite, a new game engine that will power EA Sports games on Xbox One and PS4.
"EA Sports Ignite blends new technology with the best rendering, run-time physics, animation, intelligence, locomotion, and online systems from across EA into one powerful, new engine. Athletes will possess human-like intelligence for advanced decision-making, players will have the agility required to change speeds and directions with true athletic motion, and living worlds will make the game experience as rich and dynamic as real-world stadiums and arenas. "
