There will be no PES 2009 demo released tomorrow, Konami UK has confirmed to VideoGamer.com.
Fans had speculated online that Konami was planning to release a demo of the hotly anticipated football game through Xbox LIVE and PSN to counter the confirmed September 11 release of a FIFA 09 demo.
However, when contacted by VideoGamer.com this afternoon for clarification on the matter, a spokesperson for Konami UK confirmed that a PES 2009 demo won't be released tomorrow.
"We've never said tomorrow," said the rep. "There will be a demo in due course. Our announcement will be made in conjunction with Sony."
The epic fight between the two soccer giants Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA has been going on for over 10 years now. Cynamite takes a look at the scores from both games and shows, at which point PES overtook the FIFA series.
PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far
I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.
2000 - 2005 -> PES dominated since the PS1 days but then it came PES 2006 it was a major letdown
2006 - NOW -> Fifa started to show its quality on this current gen and it evolved year after year while PES was still way behind.
A shame that games like "This is football" just vanished during the PS2 days
pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement
Its funny to read or talk to the FIFA fanboy they cant accept the true and hate PES.
If you go to the FIFA forums they talk Bs. About pes and they hate it.
In the Pes forums they respect Fifa and many will be getting the two and we aré confidente that PES11 is better and the kind is back
With the current World Cup coverage all around the world, CoffeewithGames takes a look at the play-time data for some Wii soccer(or football) games.
CwG says about FIFA Soccer 10, "FIFA Soccer 10 was released on October 20, 2009, and the data was collected approximately 252 days after it released."
In another section CwG says, "FIFA Soccer 10 has 7,698 players reporting data."
CwG also shows the data for Mario Strikers Charged, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, and FIFA Soccer 09 All-Play.
any of the games shown? If so, would you recommend them to others?
I have played Mario Strikers Charged and thought it was a lot of fun, reminded me A LOT of NHL Hitz.
Also, anybody that keeps up with soccer(or football) know if there is a "favored" team to win the World Cup out of the teams that are still in it?
Boomtown writes: "No rivalry in the world of gaming is fiercer than the one between competing football franchises. It almost mirrors the strength of feeling people have for their club. Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
Looks like i'll be playing FiFa then
Ha Ha
Lame.....
Fifa will keep me going but I really really want to try the new PES after the shambles that was PES 08.
Screw Konami. Really SCREW them.
was a shambles on the consoles, both had terrible online and the ps3 version slowed down alot, but on my pc , running it 1920x1200 with all the modded kits and players its great, even online. Fifa to me is so robotic , with terrible ai, im just downloading the pc demo, so lets see if its any good.
