Whiles gearing up for the GC conference in German later next month, Konami has released brand new images of their upcoming soccer game PES 08 which is due to hit consoles and handhelds later on this year.
This Is My Joystick NEW Celebrity Games Columnist OJ Borg Laments The Death Of The PS2.
The power of the PS2 was the social aspect; that dragged Gamers in. Nowadays we don’t need to see, smell or entertain our friends as we have Xbox Live and the shabby PS3 online thing, but back then, we used to have to be in the same room to play these games. This wasn’t a new thing, but the games just made it all-encompassing.
Games like Tekken Tag Tournament were great for a night of lazy boozing and gaming. Track and Field with a Multi-Tap was where we would give different names to the competition, depending on who was there (“AAA” if it was the poorer player’s, right up to an Olympics once every four weeks). We even had a little drugs scandal, when we decided to ban the use of socks on fingers to help mash the buttons.
The PS2 was a once in a lifetime machine, but honestly I hadn't seen a new one available here in the states in almost 5 years. The news that they have ceased production worldwide is basically symbolic.
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
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."
this game is the best football game out there hands down.
oh also if you have a ps3 you can play Pro 6 online on your ps3
choose user log in not required and it should work.
Jus hope the gameplay is still as gud. with simple touches that fifa has like man of match n simple touches like that. would make all round better game. thats all it needs as we no the gameplay RULEZ!!
My boyfriend will be so happy to see this game is going over the limits. we play every weekend with our friends pes6 and we stil cant get enuff of it, keep it up PES with the most realistic gameplay we can experiense, this is going to be the first nextgen soccer ever!
As much as a varied gamer that I like to be, PES is one of those games I love the most and have spent more hours playing these games than any other type of game (WoW might be up there as well). It was the reason I bought a PS2 before GTA, FF or RE.
Nuff said
Can't wait!!
not stunning at all . looks like pro evo 2006 on the 360.
