MCV: Autumn launch confirmed for Konami's football sequel; gameplay details revealed
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
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?
come on Pes 2009
Let just hope it's an improvement on Evo '08! No More laggy online please!!!!
Let's see the result. EA has done a great job with FIFA08 and Euro08.
I play everyday! Soccer is really important to me,so especially during the euro08,fifa08 is in my 360 everyday. But. . .pro evo. .after fifa08. . .this still makes me think fifa08 is better.and 250 improvements in fifa09, . . .fifa09 for me this year . . . .
i just hope they do a proper game this time. pes08 was a disaster, didnt even had equipment selector and the tactics options were scarce compared to previous titles. pes08 was a rushed product.
and fifa ? come on, you cant be and hardcore football fan if you like fifa lol. i dont even need to explain
