One part of me says yay...

Another part says... just, no no no no no....

Haven't they tried to redo it before and flopped? Even the Xbox Arcade version from a few years back didn't evoke the same feeling.

Just leave it alone.

Looks pretty damn good to me, I bashed Sensi silly so I'm Biased.

Was John Hare directly behind the others because it looks like he is in full charge of this version.

It doesnt look too bad from the video looks very similiar in speed and control.

It'll be terrible. what's the point in making it 3d anyway.

The x360 one was actually really good. Played it quite a bit.

E:
Though, having watched the video, it does move like the old ones...

Waste of time without the quality joysticks we used to get int the Amiga days.

29 days to get 290 odd grand? I don't think that will happen somehow.

Indeed. Won't be the same with a controller or keyboard

No idea why they just re-release World of Soccer with 1080p and re digitised sprites.

As for lack of joysticks controller actually works not too bad, got the 360 version and it's ok.

Well Ive taken a punt with the £12 pledge. Lets see

Took a punt too, for £12 its worth a gamble.

I can't help but think it will be a failure, although I loved Sensible Soccer back in the day and also World Cup Italia '90 and Kick Off, we are not in that era anymore.

12 quid aint bad but will it be better than the original version?

Looks alright, but can't see it surpassing the original for actual gameplay.

Aside from a flashy interface and online options, you might as well just play the original.

I still do this from time to time, game loses nothing in terms of the addiction factor. You can even get the updated teams from the day, though truth be told I get off playing with the old players, my time when football ruled a part of my life

Anyhow, 6 button megadrive pad, the one with the small buttons, and the red start button was the best controller for me.... you could flex every shot/pass like the ball was on elastic

Sensible soccer was terrible, sensible world of soccor however, that may just be my most played game ever!

It was incredible on the Amiga apart from the 10 minute wait between seasons where it loaded the next season up

No way, sensi in every game was great!

i was put off with the price i bought both of the past games off Gog if the game was a fiver tenner tops id buy but not 15 you can buy a aaa game for a extra few quid

Sensi with a Zipstick joystick was the best thing around for the time.

Does anyone remember a demo disk that shipped with Amiga Power which loaded a one-off game between England and West Germany, with a bomb replacing the ball? It would periodically starting pulsating and flash red, explode, then take out all nearby players! Top stuff!

I'm in with a £100 backing. Sensi Soccer was the best footie game ever made. If Sociable Soccer is even just slightly as good, it's going to be awesome! Though it's a godawful name...

leave it well alone i say, doesnt evoke the same feeling anymore. Want nostalgia, ill emulate the old version

Its no italia 90 from the megadrive!
