Building on the success of the top-selling "V" brand of sports titles (V-Rally, V-Rally 2), it is different to any other football game due to the exclusive Brazilian team licence and of course, Luiz Nazario De Lima "Ronaldo - The Phenomenon".
In Ronaldo V-Football, Infogrames delivers a unique and exceptional gaming experience that mirrors the extraordinary talents and outrageous skills found in Brazilian football.
From the very beginning, it was decided to adopt the most advanced technologies and the latest innovations in terms of graphics and artificial intelligence. The development team used the most powerful software available and even developed specific tools for certain parts of the game, to provide jaw-dropping animations and game play.
All this for just one purpose: to provide the player with a game with the same level of excellence as the Brazilian team itself, a game that is rich and colourful and offers the player all the thrills and excitement of modern football at its very best.
Game Modes
Ronaldo V-Football offers everything from the most important world and continental competitions to the most fantastical encounters. Whether you want to play for 10 minutes or 10 weeks, alone or with friends, Ronaldo V-Football adapts to your every footballing desire. It even contains an exclusive game mode that offers an exciting challenge: Survival mode. How long can you last against the Worlds best?
Even the rules of football can be adapted: you can choose to play a match with a time limit, as in reality, or play in Knock-Out mode: the first to score 1, 2 or 3 goals is the winner. This is the spontaneous kind of football as played by children in the streets and schoolyards of the World and by a young Ronaldo on the streets and beaches of Brazil, with all the thrills and excitement of intense competition.
The Teams
Realise every footballer's dream… experience the pride of wearing your national team's shirt. Ronaldo V- Football offers you all 64 of the greatest international teams.
All players have their own physical and technical characteristics: they differ in height and build, are right or left-footed, and have different technical skills.
And because Ronaldo and the Brazilian team need original challenges we added features that you cannot find in any other football game. Ronaldo V-Football introduces the best "dream" teams (selections of history's legendary footballers).
The Stadiums
Because a stadium contributes to the atmosphere of a match, Ronaldo V-Football includes 15 different arenas in which to test your skills. Each one is modeled in full 3D and its atmosphere corresponds to the most passionate footballing nations in the World (an English or Italian stadium, a South American stadium, etc.). The crowd reacts to the teams on the pitch and the different phases of the game. If the Brazilian team is playing, you can expect to hear frenetic drummers beating out a samba rhythm with the entire fervor and passion of the famous "cariocas". If a team makes 10 successive passes the crowd will begin to chant "Ole"! And to complete this heady atmosphere you can choose to have the match commentated by a professional Brazilian commentator. In Ronaldo V-Football you will experience all the passion of Brazil's greatest matches.
"Gooooooooal by Roooonaaaldoooooo!!!"
The Graphical Style
As soon as you start to play you will find yourself immersed in an exotic, festive and exciting atmosphere. The menus use the famous "auri-verde" colours of Brazil and are illustrated with photos of Ronaldo and the Brazilian players. The interfaces are also brought to life with famous samba music.
You will also find the same graphical line in the match sequences. It is impossible to confuse the screenshots of Ronaldo V-Football with those of any other game.
The Animation
Particular attention has been paid to animation because the characteristics of Brazilian football stem from fluidity of movement. To obtain these effects, Infogrames has motion captured professional footballers. Stopping the ball with the chest, aerial control, cross in disarray and bicycle kicks: in Ronaldo V-Football you will find all the movements the Brazilians perfectly executed. These are the moves you always dreamed of being able to do. Because to score is not enough for a Brazilian - you must score "with style".
Artificial Intelligence
The extraordinary performance of the Brazilian team is reflected in the strategic approach of the game. Infogrames has therefore developed an AI that takes all aspects of the game into account. Ronaldo on-screen will behave like his real-life counter part.
Several artificial intelligence factors control each player and enable him to choose the right action at the right time. At every moment of the game the player calculates his position in relation to the ball, the opponents and his team-mates in order to adapt his decisions and movements to the action taking place. The attackers call for the ball, the sweeper covers defence or plays the offside trap and players will offer pass opportunities to help a team-mate in difficulty.
The tactical choices and styles of play of each team are also taken into account. Brazil, for example, prefers construction with short passes, whereas England is more likely to play kick and run.
The Animated Sequences
Beyond style, technique and a strategic approach to the game, Brazilian football is also characterised by an attitude on the pitch. Remember the "seleçao" grouped in the center of the pitch during the penalty series in the United States in 1994.
The animated sequences in Ronaldo V-Football reuse some of the most characteristic attitudes of the players. Score with a double-scissor kick and celebrate like Ronaldo by zooming and swaying like a plane.
So if you're nuts about Brazilian football, check out Ronaldo V-Football released on April 28th on PlayStation! Ronaldo
V-Football: a game with Latin attitude.
