PS3 Wands Coming to PES

IGN UK says: Pro Evolution Soccer mastermind Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka has confirmed to IGN that motion controllers such as Natal and PlayStation 3's motion wands will be incorporated in future instalments of the game. Speaking at the European Championships in Nice, Seabass said, "Up until 2009 we believed all the platforms should have the same controls and features. That's no longer the case, because there are specific controllers for different machines, what with Natal and the PlayStation motion sensor system. I cannot say much, but I can say we are looking at integrating those devices into our games very aggressively."

Mr_Bun5345d ago

What, are you going to tie them to your shoes?...How would wands work with Soccer?

Fishy Fingers5345d ago

Probably similar to the Wii versions, Natal on the other hand, I have no idea.

Pennywise5345d ago

Natal... lol. I get tired fairly quick running around. By end of the 1st half people will be quitting from exhaustion.

chaosatom5345d ago (Edited 5345d ago )

If they could have a single analog controller and a camera working at the same time, then they can have them go around with analog and kick with your feet.

renegade5345d ago (Edited 5345d ago )

360 and ps3 poblably have two version of this game. LOL

Sarcasm5344d ago

"then they can have them go around with analog and kick with your feet"

But doesn't that go against the "YOU are the controller!" mantra?

It's not "YOU are the controller, except you hold a 360 controller in your left hand so you can do a few things that you cant do without a controller. But YOU are the controller!"

ReviewsArePolitics5344d ago

PS Wand is useless without full backwards compatibility.

MazzingerZ5344d ago

that Natal will be released first with all the hype behind sell tons and 6 months later they'll release a wand/wii-mote like device to "enhance the experience". Anyone still thinking Natal will be controllerless is kidding himself.

mebob5344d ago

you can fake a dive with natal!

Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahaha now thats hilariously funny.

clixx335345d ago

So how would you make this work on Project Natal:

Complete the heart-warming effect from our 360s with added bonus heart-attack simulation from over exhaustion...literally.

Arnon5344d ago

becoming exhausted sounds like a personal problem :x

arakouftaian5345d ago

I'm glad how good pes10 is
just focus on making
pes11 much better and stop this

i will be playign with my ps3 motion controls
but teh last game i wan't to play with is is
a pes.

I'm sure the wii pes is great
but, for this game i will prefer
my dualshock controls.

And yes
i'm mad
because they could focus on so many things
but know i fell this controls
will take a lot of their time
and that suxs

MazzingerZ5344d ago

That's why they will be optional...do you think Konami or developers expects everybody to own one of those controllers?...they just want to expand the number of sold copies not to sell less.

Bill Cosby5344d ago

ive always wanted to play soccer with a black dildo XD

BX815344d ago

ROFL!!! I read your comment then I noticed your avatar pic!!! Had me laughing for a good min.

Meryl5344d ago

thats good the wii pes controls were nothing short of brilliant as before i found it really hard to score any goals by using standard controller, although on wii pes i can score lots and lots and own the competition, it just makes football games so much more natural.
i must admit i am rubbish at football games normally, and normall i am really good at platformers, rpg's and shooters, so i am not a rubbish gamer, i just stuggle with football games...

somekindofmike5344d ago

I'm not sure making the game easier to score will please most PES fans, where the fun comes from the sense of achievement of scoring a truly class well build up goal against a tough opposition.

I do agree though! the wii PES controls are nothing short of brilliant, what I like best is being able to not only control your own player with an analogue stick, but using the IR pointer at the same time, you can select a player off the ball and send him on a run in the direction you want, meaning perfectly timed runs + perfectly timed through balls equals split defenses!

Pro Evolution Soccer - Nevermind eh?

TPV Writer Tom Writes: "A carefully reasoned and informed discussion. With myself. And who knows? This analysis might give FIFA some much needed credibility (not that I over estimate my writing powers at all), because let’s be honest, Sep Blatter is so crooked, he sleeps on a spiral staircase. So corrupted, Microsoft Word can’t open him. You get the picture, but don’t worry Mr Blatter. Here to help."

Haha... Pes feels far more arcadey than Fifa, So I guess you are right there ;)

"In reality, Lionel Messi is the perfect poster boy for Pro Evo. He personifies everything this game is. Flashy, annoying as hell, and overrated."

Well I already hated this article before I read this part but that was icing on the hate cake. Pretty much everything he said was unjustified.

Jonmau54699d ago

Offended so easily? Everything is justified with his reasons and guess what you get from an opinion article? A motherfunking opinion....

Louis_Guzman4699d ago

Wow, someones mad, lol. Btw, Fifa is a joke and so is this site.

Anderson84699d ago

lol in what way is messi overrated?... next you'll be telling me scott parker is the best player in the world

8bit_Nes_Rambo4699d ago (Edited 4699d ago )

Brought to you by EA games. I take it PES somehow beat this kid up and stole his lunch money?

Jonmau54699d ago

Nope he just thinks PES Is poor compared to Fifa.... which it is.

8bit_Nes_Rambo4699d ago

Cool bro. I think Fifa is crap compared to PES. Opinions are funny like that.

kza4699d ago

PES is way better u fifa players are NOOBS!!

10 great looking games the critics slammed

Sadly, the old adage that beauty is only skin deep can easily be applied to some of this generations' video game releases. Megabits of Gaming looks at 10 titles that have split opinion...

Philoctetes4975d ago

Yes, it looks great, but with 94% on Metacritic, I don't think it's quite accurate to say that it got "slammed" by critics. Even with the cutscenes, it's still one of the best games of this generation.

hay4975d ago

True. And only fanboys slammed the game.

Chubear4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

most of those games were critically acclaimed. They weren't "slammed" O.o

Also don't know how Haze is on that list. Haze was a very decent shooter and though it's graphics were good they weren't not at all "great". Haze graphics was essentially 7th or 8th gen games on the PS2 done in HD

If any game should be on that list it's Lair. Slammed for EVERYTHING and lunatic rabid fanatics (and some reviewers) called its graphics PS2 or PS1 "with water looking like sand"

Crazy. All I know is, there are many "AAA" multiplat titles today that still don't put Lair, a 1st gen game, to shame graphically talkless of technically cause most multiplat games with this much stuff happening on screen with these kind of graphics would chugg like madness.

http://www.gametrailers.com...

Please, show me these released multiplat games (or even exclusives on other gaming consoles) of recent time that has display this kind of chaos both on the ground and in the air.

MGS4 still stands for me as the greatest game I have ever played. A culmination of 2 decades of masterful storytelling. As regards the play time, most reviewers put the actual non-cutscene game time beyond the length of the majority of current titles.

What is even more perplexing is the sophomoric comprehension of reviewers that failed to realize they were playing a game by Hideo Kojima. And a Metal Gear game at that. Many reviewers were simply ignorant of the series nor could they grasp Kojima's unique presentation technique imbued with his personality.

If you fail to realize the context of a title then you shouldn't be reviewing it. If you are unable to critique a work based upon the acceptance and expectations of the audience for whom it was made then you should shuffle along to another game.

Pokemon isn't a bad game...or a good game in my mind as I know nothing about it. I am ambivalent toward the series and as such know I should never offer my views on the title.

As regards the visuals, much of what was done in MGS4 has never been surpassed.

Man In Black4975d ago

The plot was kind of a let down. I hate how a lot of stuff was explained as being caused by nanomachines (Liquid Ocelot, Vamp, etc), and Acts 3-5, in terms of gameplay, were way too short.

Act 3 was pretty shit for the most part (follow some guy, bike chase, boss fight, and that's it), while the spider bots pissed me off in Act 4. The start of Act 5 was great, it reminded me of the older games, but it didn't last very long.

King-Leonidas4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

Agreed with every word you said. Mgs4 is such a master piece that fanboy´s tiny brains couldnt comprehend its greatness.

EDIT
did you notice that most of those games are developed by the Japanese?

DaTruth4975d ago

The first review I saw for MGS4 was surprisingly from Eurogamer(track record with PS3 exclusives). "BEST GAME EVER!!!", I think was how it started. Needless to say, 10/10.

MGS3 turned me off of MGS series(camo system pissed me off). So when I saw the Octo-camo, I was back in it and was the defining moment of next gen.

Prior next-gen games looked good, but MGS4 just had it all!

acky14974d ago (Edited 4974d ago )

I thought the nanomachines explanations were great... it kept things grounded more in real life as nano-technology might be possible to do some of the things from MGS in the future.

MGS4 has to be my favourite game ever after more than 10 years of playing and replaying the franchise. Was perfect for me in almost every way.

Man In Black4974d ago

Thing is, they used nanomachines for practically everything, to the point where it started to become ridiculous.

King-Leonidas4974d ago

but think about it man in black, it would make sense to implement nano machines in soldiers on the future. They are very advanced technologicaly.

Crysis is another that didnt get slammed. It got excellent reviews. True enough on release back in 2007, the fastest graphics in the world was an 8800 ultra. It cost 300 pounds. Crysis squashed it badly. But tech moves on quickly for PC, and 120 pounds three years on buys you a card thats twice as fast as an 8800 ultra, perfectly capable of coping with crysis.

Im pretty confident this time will be different with crysis 2, and although i expect it to challenge the fastest cards, i suspect it wont maul them nearly as bad as the original did with 2007 hardware.

GWAVE4975d ago

It didn't get slammed by critics (for the most part), but the vast majority of console gamers wrote it off as "that one PC game that has crappy gameplay and is all about teh grafix".

Naturally, they changed their tune once Crysis 2 was announced for consoles.

FragGen4975d ago (Edited 4975d ago )

I went out and bought Haze used when I first got my PS3 after playing the demo not being aware of any of the hype. It was a fun game, IMHO, if you didn't take it too seriously. Having only paid $10 for it, I was super happy with it. :)

I guess if I had been aware of the hype I might have been disappointed. But then again maybe not, because to me, "Halo Killer" does not set the bar that high, I think Halo is terribly overrated. :) I've probably logged as many hours on Haze as I have Halo 3 on my 360. LOL.

tacosRcool4975d ago

MGS4 is a great game but people are gonna find something wrong with it and complain about it

Why the hate for Final Fantasy XIII, I for one think it was one of the best games this gen, I love the story, the characters, the world, and the graphics of course.

DelbertGrady4975d ago

Very random list. Since when is Naughty Bear a "great looking game"?

KiRBY30004975d ago

MW2 is not a great looking game and didnt get slammed by the critics. this article makes no sense whatsoever.

naughty ber a great looking game = EPIC FAIL statement

SexyPrawns4975d ago

MW2 IS a great looking game.

Go play it.

Corrwin4975d ago

It was ok for a shooter, but it certainly wasn't a looker when released. The models were next-gen but the flat environments and low res textures certainly weren't!

Hades13374975d ago

Games like FFXIII, MW2, MGS4 etc. were not "slammed" by critics, look at their review scores.

I hate the perception of the video game review system. It seems like games scored below 90% are "average".
