Update: Eat The Whistle
*

It seems there was a slight mistake made for Samba World Cup isn't the only soccer game in development for Hurricane Studios (formly called Hurricane Software) are developing Eat The Whistle, with more info now coming to light.

In Eat The Whistle there will be the World cup, Leagues, Cups with real teams but of course players names will be modified. Each player has more than 550 frames of animation, 300 for the goalkeeper and 100 for the refree. There should be around 30 types of pitchs such as muddy, frozen and wet. It'll have a intuitive control system allowing acceleration/ deceleration of players, and of course for other aspects like fouls, corners, throw-ins, heading and other special shots.

In "arcade mode" it'll play more like Speedball 2 with the inclusion of powerups, bonuses to spice up the action even more. At present there is a 1 & 2 players mode but in the works is support for 3 & 4 players mode using a 4 Joystick Adapter or Keyboard. It will have a team editor and tactic editor, and what the authors describe as being a very complex menu. It'll include spoken commentary and action replays which can be saved and loaded.

Hurricane Studios have said that it will work on all Amiga's, with support for GFX boards and also with AHI and sound cards. Those who have faster CPU's get a faster framerate. A demo was to have been released but has been delayed, it should however come very soon.
