It all just got very real as Activision seeks out to make a quick buck off of the latest World Cup craze, the good ol’ Vuvuzela.
The first footage released is direct feed gameplay, and shows off not only basic gameplay, but a quick sample of the menus as well as how the combo meters will work. What I was really interested in seeing was how they were going to incorporate the “star power” ability, but it wasn’t revealed in this first video.
What I do like, is that to freshen up the genre a little, Activision have now made the background graphics a lot more interactive in relation to how you are playing, rather than just having the same old characters do their thing over and over again.
Hit the jump for the full video.

Yea, I’m not sure I like how the blatant advert masquerading as a “quick note” below this article.
A bigger publication would be taken to the ethics board, just saying.

It certainly isn’t a paid for advert – just something I put up because I’d received notification of my own pre-order code coming in the mail.
As seen in this competition, if it’s been paid for we’ll tell you.

I’ll remove the pre-order links though

An ethics board? lol. EA don’t even advertise with us, but you guys are always free to think whatever the heck you want.
Ever considered that maybe Geoff was giving people the news of the beta (being a news site and all).
Trust me… ain’t no one in SA paying advertising money for a quick note

Ah OK, my bad then. It just seemed like a little bit of a blatant punt for BTGames, with their links at the bottom etc, but if there is no partnership there then I apologize for my assumption.

Pretty easy assumption to make, I guess. no harm, no foul. 🙂
