Classic PES For PSN/XBLA?

WENB writes: "What Konami are doing however is asking the question on their facebook page as to which classic Konami title from the past gamers would like to see on both PSN or XBLA. I figured that with so many saying they would love a remaster of a PES5..."

I'm not really sure how it'd work but man I love the idea.

... which is still their best PES game. Brilliant game. I remember scoring screamers from free-kicks with PSV's Alex. He has such a hard shot. :)

mastiffchild4677d ago

As a Chelsea fan who's had the honour of sitting directly in line with a couple of real life Alex free kick blasts I can concur that Konami did , indeed, get that part of his career bang on in PES5! If anything the bugger hit's em even harder these days!

... and is a great defender as well. One of the best there ever played in the Dutch Eredivisie, but sadly he isn't getting as much playing time at Chelsea. Would have been nice if Hiddink would have joined Chelsea :)

I'm surprised one of the other clubs haven't made a move for him (Alex) yet.

KAEM74677d ago

bringing back pes5 or 6 is awesome, i do think pes 6 is the better one, people just have a better/ more fond memory of 5 because the leap from 4 to 5 was huge

Yi-Long4677d ago

... cause on the 360 it didn't have replays(!)

I believe the PS2 version did, but I didn't have a PS2...

Shadowlocked - It's a rare event, but every once in a while a videogame gives us a character that, whether immediately or over time, we come to loathe. But just who are the worst offenders?...

50 cent need to stick to music bc video games isn't his best genre

I would rather kick bowser b4 princess preach, my god its the same thing with that guy. Always taking some1 else's woman but can't find his own....w8 where them children of his come from. I know bowser can't asexual(basically mean have kids without the need of another person) reproduce. There are more annoying character the Sonic series than tails. Scotty's finishing move, "The Worm" lol I remember that.

hazelamy4780d ago

the thing is with scotty, and the worm, yeah the move, when you look at it objectively, is ridiculous, but what it did have was that the crowds at the shows absolutely loved it.
and you know why? audience participation, that's why he kept that ridiculous move for so long.

when you watch it on tv or in a game, then it is just kinda ridiculous, but tfor the live crowd, it's their chance to be involved.

hazelamy4780d ago

i'd vote for kratos, seriously, the most one note character in all of gaming, maybe a close second to gordon freeman.

of course i'd have to run away very fast afterwards because that guy's a frikkin psycho.

Quagmire4780d ago

I would love to kick Kratos up the ass, what a douschebag.

Master of Unlocking4779d ago

I fully agree on that 50 cent guy being No1. I can't stand that guy, sorry. Neither in agame nor in reality. :(

Boomtown Editorial: Football Rivalries

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."
