FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 (Quick Gameplay) Sega Saturn

FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 is a football simulation video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports in 1997. Being the fifth title in the FIFA franchise and the second to utilize 3D graphics on fifth-generation consoles, the game marked the series' farewell on platforms such as the Sega Mega Drive, Super Nintendo (SNES), and Sega Saturn. The game stood out for its inclusion of a full game mode dedicated to the 1998 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, encompassing all 172 national teams registered with the federation at the time, as well as an officially licensed soundtrack and customization tools for players and clubs. The Sega Saturn Version The port intended for the Sega Saturn was among the endings of Electronic Arts' support for the Sega console, presenting severe technical limitations compared to the PlayStation version: Visual Aspects and Animations: Reduced video resolution (FMVs), absence of complex textures, simplified shading, and suppression of animation frames, contradicting the distributor's marketing focused on motion capture. Proportions: The athlete models are enlarged, generating the visual perception of reduced dimensions of the playing field. Audio and Performance: Removal of technological support for the Dolby Surround system. On the other hand, the graphical concessions resulted in faster loading times than the Sony console version, although slower than the instant loading times of the Nintendo 64. 0:00 - Start 0:38 - AC Milan vs. Ajax 1:36 – Goal 2:41 - Goal 6:43 – Goal 7:59 – Goal 8:44 – Goal #FIFA98 #SegaSaturn #RetroGaming #EASports #RoadToWorldCup #Gameplay #ClassicGaming #Retrogames #Futebol90s
