Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 speelbaar in Leipzig
Uitgegeven: 17 juli 2007 18:09

Konami brengt Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 speelbaar mee naar de Games Convention in Leipzig. Tijdens de show in Leipzig maken we kennis met het nieuwe Teamvision-systeem, dat volgens Konami grote invloed heeft op de intelligentie van je medespelers.

De Games Convention vindt plaats van 23 tot en met 26 augustus. Ook Gamer.nl is groots vertegenwoordigd op de show en brengt je al het nieuws vanaf daar.

First of all is the inclusion of Ghana and Ivory Coast, both now fully licensed. More interestingly, the magazine also hints that diving is now a new feature in the game! Im sure it's a feature that many will be unsure about, but if implemented well it could benefit the game moving forward.

"The 360 version is a marked improvement over last year's game. The edit mode is back and while this is still an preview version, the rosters of the 360 build are, by PES standards, incredibly up to date. The presentation is all new and still ugly, but there's tons of music now so you don't have to listen to a single song while messing about in the interface. There's lots of new little touches like when you pause the game you see your bench and the coach all agitated in a small window. English commentary sounds markedly better than before too. The game looks far better in motion and overall than last year's 360 version, which I didn't want to plat at all. The pitches, the grass, look far better as do the players. The PS2 preview code is incredible though... it's got a rock solid super smooth frame-rate, though it looks the same as last year."

So there you have it, sort of a little preview of PES 2008 running on the 360. Unfortunately the source no longer has the article on their website but I have added the link for journalistic purposes! It may have broken an NDA with Konami which forced them to remove the images.

Editorial Round-Up

To say its been a big day would be an understatement. We even had our little share of Hollywood Drama with images appearing and then notoriously disappearing! But there have been some major highlights from today's news and we just wanted to take a moment to go through all of them with you. Many are clear but some remain unclear at this time, so we'll take it slow.

First I would like to start by saying all the talk we have been getting over the last couple of weeks of an "in-depth" edit mode have been justified. Gaming experts and Editors that have the Beta copies in their possession have been going on about the major editing features for a while now. Well today we have seen visual proof of that.







An example of this is the new Facial Import feature that was so successful in RAINBOW SIX VEGAS late last year. I think its a masterstroke by SEABASS and the team and will really help the fans when it comes to editing and creating custom teams. I guess no more arguments and break-ups between friends over "You made my nose too big you idiot"! I think people who love spending time customizing the game will also have a blast as it makes it so much simpler.







A Playlist Editor, who would have thought that they would throw that in too. Never imagined it, although Xbox 360 owners can play custom tracks from their HDD's through the Dashboard. PS3 owners may get this feature with the highly anticipated Firmware 2.0, but until then this was a nice touch by Konami. Obviously we will have to wait on Konami to identify whether this will incorporate any music on your Console/PC's HDD or whether it is restricted to in-game music. Finger crossed for the first option. I always wanted to play PES/WE with 2pac in the background, it calms me and puts me in a total Zen mode!



Licenses, licenses and more licenses is all we seem to nag Konami about these days. The W.E.N.B. team heard from one of our sources about 3 weeks ago that Newcastle and Tottenham were licensed in the Beta, but unfortunately we couldn't disclose this information as our contact would have kicked our asses. But there you have it. Although we would like to wait for confirmation from Konami, the fact that they are in the Beta at this lat stage pretty much seals it for us. Of course, you all know I would love to see my Liverpool boys licensed but I'm gonna have to wait another year.





I think most of you have seen the "Banned" in-game images of Rooney, Giggs and Raul by now. I will give Konami credit by saying they have done well with the rendering and graphics thus far. I personally think that with games like CRYSIS around these days looking pretty much like real life the expectations set by the fans go through the roof. I myself am guilty of expecting too much from the Konami boys, however I constantly reassure myself that this game will get significantly better every year in the graphics department.

Its fair to assume that with the power provided to developers by next-gen consoles, you should be getting some beautiful graphics. But I am a firm believer that what we see now will be polished for the final release. All the rough edges, people complaining about nets, fans, balls and unrealistic looking grass. All those things will be sorted for the final release. I can personally see the progression in graphics and polishing between the earlier and later stage Beta's in all the images we see.

I am told constantly that to really understand why Konami are so confident about this game you have to see it in full motion. Gameplay can't be changed as much as graphics every year, so as long as the gameplay and animation is spot on this year then Konami will be on their way to owning Next-Gen soccer (and keeping W.E.N.B. in business).

As always let us know your thoughts.

Yours Truly,

Suff

PS. Are you guys praying for this Video or what?

Of all places, mens magazine ZOO confirmed that the commentary team for the UK version of PES 2008 has indeed been changed. The tremendous duo this time? None other than Jon Champion and Mark Lawrenson.

Konami Digital Entertainment has made public the incorporation of sports journalist Julio Maldonado "Maldini" as the new commentator for the new version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. Maldini will be accompanied by Juan Carlos Rivero, who has been the commentator voice for this game for the past four years.

With an extensive career in the world of journalism, Julio Maldonado has been working for the group known as PRISA, to whom he provides his extensive knowledge of the beautiful sport of futbol. The journalist was overjoyed to have been chosen into this new incursion of the video game world and declared to be very anxious to see the results of it.

A gracious surprise for the lovers of futbol.

De MasterLeague is nu anders georganiseerd. Zo is er geen points geld meer maar Euro's of dollars ( optie ) en je hebt vier of vijf leagues ( wordt nog aan gewerkt en ze weten niet waar dat op uit komt. ) De leagues zijn NIET parallel, maar je moet van de laagste divisie ( 4e of 5e dus ) helemaal opwerken met een prut-team. Ook als je Milan kiest krijgen je spelers prutwaarden.
Verder werkt het met een soort van achievements, waarmee je weer extra geld kunt verdienen. Als je begint heb je een prut-stadion met prut stoeltjes en een prutveld en dat moet allemaal geleidelijk aan opgebouwd worden. In het te maken stadion kan je ook van alles kiezen zoals de keus uit 17 soorten reservebanken en ongeveer 20 soorten doelen. De stoeltjes in het stadion hebben zelf te kiezen kleuren en ook het gras met de maai-richtingen is te kiezen. Natuurlijk moet ook de capaciteit van het stadion worden gekozen, maar je hebt in het begin maar weinig geld. Alles is meer gericht op managen van het team met geld. Zo krijg je ook sponsorgeld, wat per seizoen verandert naar gelang de prestaties. Ook TeamVision speelt een grote rol in de ML en ook je eigen spelers worden door Teamvision gestuurd. Scripting is bijna helemaal verdwenen!!
