Football Manager Classic 2014 hits Vita on April 11
Sega and Sports Interactive have announced that Football Manager Classic 2014 for PS Vita will be released on April 11. It's the first handheld FM title to make use of the 3D match engine.
"It's great to finally be able to release FMC Vita. This game has been the most technically challenging that we've ever worked on - we've essentially fit a PC game that needs loads of memory, a mouse and a keyboard into Sony's wonderful handheld with a touch screen - and the help we've had from all of our partners has been wonderful," says Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive. "To be able to take your home computer save onto the road adds a huge amount to the Football Manager experience."
"For years, the dream of many Football Manager fans has been to be able to enjoy a full version of their favourite game wherever they are," says Shahid Ahmad, Senior Business Development Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "Sports Interactive and SEGA have realised that dream on the PS Vita, and we at PlayStation are delighted with their ground-breaking results."
The game has been co-developed at Sports Interactive, Sega owned Hardlight Studios and Sheffield-based independent studio Little Stone Software.
