Following the PES 2019 pre season tour event, which saw the team take builds from the game to various countries for previews, The Loot Gaming has their impressions of the upcoming football title ready! Exploring various new features, such as the Enlighten engine, visible fatigue and new licenses, this preview also contains gameplay football for Konami's upcoming yearly iteration on their soccer franchise.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 was once supposed to be a free game for all PS Plus subscribers for the month of July 2019, however, that changed within the last minute and Detroit was added as a replacement. Today, Konami is offering a new PS Plus subscriber bonus for PES 2019.
PS Plus games lineup was confirmed for Europe and North America by Sony. It is slightly different for PlayStation Plus subscribers in Asia and Japan.
kind of ultimate piss off for customers. the paid sub is not required no matter what.
just remove multiplayer from paywall and see how many actual people pay for the service.
xbox live, ps plus and nintedo online , people need to stop supporting all of those no matter what.
I didn't really get a current gen console for MP till January and it was the PS4. Imagine my surprise that Sony's now paid MP is still missing features that people took for granted on the 360.
Also, the one game's MP I'm interested in is published by Sony but you have no way to report cheaters.
Just so glad that Sont is taking the money and pocketting it and not doing any upgrades on there service.
@inmateofarkham
Care to give a few examples of cheating you have come across on psn please?
Good, because I have both. I just bought Japan PS+ because there was a sale where I used 20000 JPY, and with a 30% discounted 3 months plus I could still benefit of extra discounts for about 2500yen compared to buying without +. Asia was my favourite PSN last year, but this year they are removing Japanese language contents, so I'm moving back to PSN Japan 100%. Going to be back in Tokyo soon again anyway.
God an Indonesia account and PS+ because it was so cheap and sometimes really great deals.
Yeah I heard there are some really good deals there, too. I heard the pricing is around the same as HK PSN, or even lower.
Asia account was super good until recently, but the quality of the translations from Japanese to Mandarin were pretty low quality, so I opted for the more expensive Japan account, plus my Japanese is way better than mandarin. If you live in Japan, it is the only way to access the video contents of local dramas and movies with Japanese subtitles, because all of these local services are under licenses and protected so you need a local IP to access them.
It's always a gamble when I get 3 months of Xbox Gold and PS Plus. In my mind I always imagine good free games but in reality it's always lame crap. Then when they expire I do it all over again. It's like they keep suckin me in.
If you're only buying a few months at a time, why don't you just wait to see what the games are before renewing?
I think there saving the big hitters for ps plus nxt gen onwards.
I don't agree with it personally but I think that's what there doing.
Sony are like we've won the gen already let's put average ps plus offerings so we have lots of ammunition going into nxt gen to face off with gamepass?
So there's no point in having ps+ until next gen then if, as you say Sony are waiting until next gen
im uk and its the first month ive really been disapointed.
pes has been half free for over a year already with PES lite
I certainly appreciated the Vita offerings.
This month I won't even bother adding these titles to my library - just icon clutter.
If you don't like soccer or racing games then too bad I guess. This is one of the worst.
I would much rather have the caligula effect. Although, I'm grateful it's not hockey. God I hate hockey.
This means I have inadvertently paid for a football game in my lifetime. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Vie for the title in Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 or enjoy some classic arcade racing in Horizon Chase Turbo.
Games like this should be regional. WTH do they expect American gamers to do with a soccer game? Same thing for Europeans if they were offered Madden. Sony needs to never do this sh*t ever again.
Saw the thumbnail and thought this was for EU PS, then saw it was the US blog.
Not that Soccer isn't popular here in the US, just it doesn't have the same kind of hype that football has.
Lol you think we play basketball in Ireland? Didn't see no outrage when NBA 2K (or whatever it was called) was a ps+ game a couple years back.
At least some people in NA like soccer. The interest in American football in the UK is near zero. Additionally, you don't have to be a fan of the sport to enjoy the games. I live in the UK and like the NHL games.
This might be the 1st month I don't queue the games up to download eventually. Really not my cups of tea.
thankfully my backlog is ridiculous, so at the end of the day I can wait until August to see what's on offer.
I don't care for either game but hey.. at least I have a soccer game to do local couch coop with friends randomly now haha
I'm not that excited for the offerings, but ita been a really long while since I played a soccer game. Any sports.game really, so I might try it out. Might be good for local co-op
I guess since it's racist to support america now they decided to give NA a european sports game on the 4th of july.
@S2Killinit Even soccer fans can admit how trash this month is for everyone else
It is clear that Sony stopped giving a shit about the 'free games'. They are all too happy to take the money, but stopped adding value.
They gave us months of great free games and now thats its got a Football game, a very good Football game I might add, its because Sony "Stopped giving a shit"?
Horizon lol. They must have been rolling on the floor at ps plus when they thought that one up.
"Really ZERO in on people's faces when it DAWNs on them". 🤡
You don't understand one of if not the biggest things about Americans is are sports culture we have are own sports we call it soccer for a reason and it's a woman dominated sport
@oakshin
I know I AM American. Im just tired of people who put down Soccer because they are insecure about their own sport. Did you know that the reason we have anti-soccer sentiments in our country is because the sports establishment (meaning the owners of clubs and leagues) were afraid that introducing/investing in Soccer would take popularity away from the existing sports establishments? They were simply scared of the financial uncertainty, because they didnt know which sport would lose more fans to Soccer, so they started a campaign of making people think they didnt like Soccer, or that there was something inherently unamerican about Soccer. Thus the jokes about Soccer being a pansy sport. Everytime i hear people say things like that it reminds me of how much people act like sheep.
Oakshin.
Football is literally the most popular sport everywhere else in the world and came before American football which is basically just rugby. Anyway Americans jacking other countries sports and names then calling the players women is gold.
You guys are basically a spin off country. You steal land, you steal culture, you steal sports, language. Then sit back calling the rest off the world terrorists for opposing you taking their shit and dropping bombs on you.
You're basically the children of the world. I mean throw a nappy on trump and you'd be mistaken for having an actual baby as your president.
@S2
It's funny you mention that about the establishment yet we are trying to push football and other things on other countries to get more popularity, and in turn more money. Very hypocritical to not want others doing it while doing it ourselves. Seems like it's the American way though from what I've noticed. (And yes I live here)
@milohighclub, generalization of people is never a good thing. Your anti American sentiment is prime example. My people never stole anyone's land, culture, etc.
Are you chinese? All records show that football (soccer) oroginated in China and it was called soccer nor football? So I guess everyone else stole that from them. Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? You can go across the globe and see this on many different levels, entertainment, language, etc.
What country are you from?
This is definitely one of, if not the worst PS+ offers they've doled out 😂. I usually add the games to my library just to have them, I'll probably pass this time around.
Yeah
I mean if i wanted pes I'd go to one of the charity shops in town and pick up the 10 copies they can't give away
Meh and meh
Last month was so much better with Borderlands Handsome Collection and Sonic Mania. How do you go from that great month to this
I think a sports game per year is fine. Im happy it's not an EA game. Ps5 needed immediately.
Can we please stop getting soccer games that will drop in price to the single digits in less than 2 years?
How many pro evolution soccer's is that now?
Wow the first time in a long time that I won't download a PS Plus game. Pretty shitty from my perspective but maybe someone will find enjoyment.
Hoping Japan will get a different selection, but given the recent Konami offerings I suspect it will still have PES which I have no interest in.
Oh well, I want to plat God of War and have many other games to play.
I don't like them including sport titles. Especially soccer though, if you're a soccer fan in the US, then you probably already own this game as a gamer.
Good thing I have accepted that PS Plus is truly only for an online experience. There have only been a handful of games that have been worth downloading from this.
I haven't supported EA fifa for the first time in years so I bought pes this time, what do they do give pes for free like wtf.
I must be so unlucky this gen as 90% of the games I've bought have been on ps plus.
I guess they somehow felt the need to balance out the fantastic offerings for June? We would have perfectly fine with 2 great months in a row.
This is trash, i have 1 more month left on my plus and im not gonna renew. Ill play the free to play games for my online needs.
I can see why people think Horizon is trash because it does somewhat look it, but it's actually really fun with a banging soundtrack. Great little pick up and play game that I would recommend giving a try, especially if you like old school racers or games that are so fast it makes your eyes bleed.
Horizon is really fun. Especially split screen. No idea why they'd give PES away though.
Soccer is quite popular in the US. We aren't soccer riot levels of crazy like some other parts of the world, and football or basketball are usually talked about more, but lots of people play or watch soccer.
I'm not personally into sports games beyond the more stylized ones, or hockey, so it doesn't appeal to me, but I'll give it a go at least.
Yeah, I know. My girlfriend loves it. We've been to a few Chicago Fire games. I actually enjoy it and played it as a kid. It's just fun to joke about it for me.
It's a fun game to play. I did for a few years when I was younger. Now I am too lathargic to actually do any physical activity.:) I can't watch a game though. I find it kind of boring and slow. Kind of like baseball. It has it's moments of excitement, but they're spaced out too far. I suppose going to a game might be better, like baseball, because it's more like being around other people.
I keep up with soccer cuz of my letino friends but it's a lil taboo to see a boy past the age of 12 to play the game it's just not what you do if your a gifted athlete in North America that being said I like soccer video games personally
I'd take a volleyball game. If only there was one that featured some of my favorite fighting game characters.
I'd be in to that but only if they are very scantily clad whit a super materialistic gift giving mechanic.
I'm not really picky, but wouldn't be upset with a VR mode as well. It would be a double bonus for that VR offering too.
They could at least insult us with an anthem fallout76 combo. This is just boring and sad.
I didn't renew my ps plus, and I glad. I purchase my games that I want, and don't have time for multiplayer.
Almost the worst month in the history of PS+, NBA2K16 and Gone Home are unbeatable.
I'd say this is worse
At least nba2k16 was the first basketball game given on PS+
This is the 3rd pes
Man, that's a trash month. I get that games aren't for everyone, but after last month this is a serious disappointment.
Oh wait, so now it's ok to say I'm bummed out about the free games we get with a paid subscription?
Usually, if I voice my disappointment I get told how much of a human piece of sh*t I am, how I have no friends or they laugh behind my back, *gasps for air Ace Ventura style* I have no right to voice my disappointment because the games are free with a $60 paid service and I've seen Sony release better free titles in the past so voicing disappointment would seem like it would validate any kind of disappointment but somehow it's wrong(?) *brain explodes*
I like soccer games I just don’t buy them as I have a large backlog so I’m happy to have PES. The other game is ok but they should give 2 for 1 if it’s going to be a cheaper games like that.
i have an interest in soccer but not enough to keep up with all the teams and players. i just watch an important final or an interesting game once in awhile so this does nothing for me. I guess it's expected after the good month we had before.
One of the best sports games of this generation, and a cool little arcade racer which has gotten good reviews, yet people are still moaning ...(!)
Just try them out and see if you like them. Maybe you will, maybe you won't. But you don't have to be a fan of the sport football ('soccer'), to enjoy the video game. Personally don't care much for ice hockey when it's on TV, but really liked NHL in Games with Gold last month orso (played the first EA NHLPA hockey games on Megadrive and loved those ...)
You idiots! These are not Forza Horizon and FIFA 19! You've captured their stunt doubles!
Horizon Chase Turbo is the best Pole Position/OutRun style game you can get on consoles in this generation, so if you like after playing this copy, consider supporting the physical release on either PS4 or Switch coming soon.
Excellent month.
Compliments the summer of football we’re having right now.
How long until they take PES 2019 off the PS store anyway?
Many of the previous iterations, including PES 2014, has been removed from the PS store.
PES 2014 on PS3 was once a free PS+ game, and it doesn't matter if you never wanted to play it again.
Came at a pretty decent time. Been loosely following the womens world cup and it makes me want to play a soccer game.
I'm usually the first to damage control, but there is no defending this. We lost ps3 and vita support, games should have gotten better not worse.
I get the feeling Sony and MS are starting to slowly phase out free monthly games as subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PS Now gain leverage. Because the free games lately are just lazy.
Us only like Egg ball or basketball or baseball, should give this to Europe or not at all. Whoever like football already owned the game.
To me, this is the worst PS+ free game month ever. But I'll still add them to my library. Who knows? Maybe my kids'll be interested...
Cool, I've never played FIFA, would love to give this a try as it's something I'd never buy
Dope I was just about to buy PES19 last night. I'm excited.... I'm also American..
That. Ladies and gentlemen, is how you s**t the bed in style.
The entire PS4 catalogue to choose from. Somehow we got this. Feels like someone dropped the ball in there somewhere.
When it comes to football, Fifa is king. Might give this game a try tho.
