Gaelic Games: Football arrives exclusively on PlayStation 2

Sony Computer Entertainment Ireland has today announced that Gaelic Games: Football?, exclusive to the PlayStation2 entertainment system, will launch across Ireland on November 11, 2005.

For the first time ever, take to the field in a Gaelic football game fully licensed by the GAA and developed by IR Gurus using their unique AFL Rules game engine.

Gaelic Games: Football? will allow players to play a single game or follow a full GAA season, including the National football league, Provincial and All-Ireland SFC. Recreate dozens of moves from soloing, handpassing, tackling and shooting in one of 11 photo realistic stadiums including Croke Park, O?Moore Park, Semple Stadium, Casement Park and Pearse Stadium. Players can choose from all current county teams including London and New York.

Gaelic Games: Football? also includes full commentary from the legendary Miche?l ? Muircheartaigh and Sony Computer Entertainment Ireland has worked closely with Foras na Gaeilge, the all Island body for the promotion of the Irish language, to develop a full Irish language menu option and manual.

    Game will not include any of the actual players, the players names are licensed under another organisation (not GAA) and therefore IR Gurus were unable to put the player names nor stats into the game. The teams will hopefully match real life, however, the player stats are just made up to make the team match how they are doing in real life so won't be any real relevance to anyone.
