OMG SWOS 2006! Soccer-gamers, go wild!!!

I'm speechless. Totally! See for yourself! http://www.purplesensi.co.uk/sensiblesoccer/sensiblesoccer2006/

Incredible! They're making a remake of the best soccer game in the world! see here a video! http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=263&s=s THey are keeping the awful graphics and this video has awful music. Hmm, I see they also did Cannon Fodder. well the graphics are kind of the same

Guess what I'm playing right now? Indeed:

back in the days, 96-97, the best ever soccer game, made to function only with 5 buttons, yet always staying as the best soccer game in the world, with extreme controls, biggest leagues ever featuring all European leagues + some 2nd divisions, the Northern and Southern American leagues, most Asian leagues and even many African leagues. Real players with their skills, UEFA-cup, Champions league, everything. Even the Finnish veikkausliiga! And an awesome manager mode, better than Champoinship Manage ever was.

I hope this new game will be as good. There's a trend of old games being ruined when they're remade ten years later... We shall see \ /

Blimey! I wouldn't get that excited about it. In fact I'm not getting my hopes up at all. And those big heads in the new one... oh dear.

I think Jon Hare is involved with this project, but the develop team appears to be a different name to sensible software.

Yep, sensible soccer, Cannon Fodder (oh I'd love to hear the opening theme tune again), Sensible golf, and of course the excellent Sensible train spotting.

If only I was joking..

Didn't SWOS already have a failed remake, oh yes in 2000 I think it was on the playstation and the PC.

If you have an Xbox and live in the UK there's a demo of the new SWOS on the official Xbox magazine.
