Konami Unveils Pro Evo 2008

First screens and info point to the most realistic footie game yet.

Konami has lifted the lid on the first details for the next Pro Evo game and has promised that it will be "the closest simulation of real football to date." Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (working title) will be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, PS2, PSP and DS later this year and boasts what Konami is calling "a revolution in player artificial intelligence" -- dubbed Teamvision, which enables the opposition to learn your style of player and adapt their tactics accordingly.

According to Konami, Teamvision will totally change the way PES fans play the game, because the adaptive AI forces players to constantly rethink their tactics. So, for example, if you prefer to run the ball down the wing and knock in a cross to a tall centre forward like Peter Crouch, your opponent will quickly change their tactics to close down the wide players and mark your hitmen more heavily. Similarly, if your favoured method of defence is to protect the back four with a sweeper -- then the other team will quickly pick up on this and change their attackers to take advantage of your formation.

Naturally the effectiveness of an opponent's change in tactics depends on the team they're playing as: strong international and club squads will be able to counter your tactics faster and more effectively than less skilled clubs, although players will still notice the change in their opponents play if they resort to using the same channels of attack. Likewise, powerful teams can also punish lazy tactical play to devastating effect, so if you lose the ball in your half to Robbie Keane there's a good chance he'll score. However, lose out to a less proficient striker and the odds of them converting the shot are less favourable.

The improved AI changes the way the game is played almost on every level, forcing players to take a much wider view of the game and real use the full width and breadth of their team. As such the pitch scanner plays a much bigger part in the game because it enables players to pick out openings in the defence (if they're skilled enough, obviously) and thread a ball through to an advancing attacker.

Teamvision affects set-plays as well as free play too. Cheap free kicks are a thing of the past because the opposing defence will close down runs faster, which prevents players from passing a ball into the box and tapping a shot in from short range. Naturally there are times when you will scorean easy goal, whether it's from a well-worked passing move or a fizzing direct free kick, but the enchanced AI now means players must think more if they want to consistantly win.

Other improvements promised for PES 2008 includes improved greater close control, so there's more scope for skilled dribbling, tricks and neat inter-player passing moves. Setting up a free-kick isn't quick as restrictive either, whether you're defending or attacking. You can change the number of players in the wall if you're defending or, if you're on the attacking, plan runs more intricately and position specific target men for the kicker to aim for.

However, the most noticeable improvement PES 2008 will offer over its predecessors (apart from Teamvision of course) is the graphics. Konami promises it will be a true next-gen experience, so there will be proper facial animations, shirt pulling and kits that flow and crease as the players run around. Watermarks from sweat and rain appear as the game continues too, bringing the player that bit closer to the action than ever before. All next-gen versions will feature a fully functional edit mode too -- something that was sorely lacking from last year's 360 version of PES 6 -- so players can create there own team and or edit existing ones. As yet there's no word on which licensed teams will feature or indeed what online modes we can expect.

"We have taken a long hard look at what has made the Pro Evolution Soccer series so popular, and where we want to take it next," commented Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka, creator of the series and Producer of PES 2008. "With the new Teamvision AI system, we truly believe that we have elevated the game to a new level. The movement of players off the ball, coupled with the total control given to the player, creates the closest simulation of real football to date. We really hope everyone enjoys our evolution. I promise it will be worth the wait." We certainly hope so.

We'll bring you more information on PES 2008 in the coming weeks. For now feast on these screenshots.

That's a sexy looking stadium if I may say so myself.

Cool thread.

[masteratt]

Master League greatly improved?

What do you think that last screenshot means?

[Diresu]

Man...bring on the new animations and working online play and I will be happy.

[Fazares]

i hope those are the ps2 version screens...:-/

[masteratt]

Oh here we go, another one....Let me copy and paste you a post from the other thread.

Read the information, they are doing things that couldn't be possible in the current gen.

Constant reactions with face and body language on what's going on on the pitch, the A.I constantly calculating the way you play and reacting accordingly.

Take your shitty "next gen is just old gen" idea out of a PES thread please.
PES is one of the games that truly takes care of next-gen technology, the way they should be taking advantage of- With real time gameplay and I bet you this game will have more animations than all the current games of this gen put together.

PES6 had over 600 animations I believe but they said they couldn't add more, with PS3, they can.

Not to mention the ball itself is a whole video-game itself, the game calculates where you hit, when you hit it and even how you hit it and the ball reacts accordingly to that.
They can now only improve the physics of it (as I felt sometimes it got too predictable in PES6).

You are arguing against facts here so please don't continue in a PES thread.
If you have to complain about next-gen games being old gen, go somewhere else.
Anywhere but a PES thread.
Thanks.
Not everything applies to you, it was to another person but you should get your answers/ enlightenment in that post.

Graphics are nothing in PES, the sheer detail in gameplay bring it to life.

Indeed. If you want graphics go play FIFA. Personally I will take PES gameplay with ps1 graphics over 10 fifas with ps3 graphics.

[Fazares]

of course gameplay is important...but this gfx sucks....konami can do better than this....

[AC!D]

I wonder if they used tilt for stuff like tilting the controller up for a header or putting curve on the ball after you shoot long distance or maybe moving your wall left or right for defensive free kicks. I can't wait for this game!

[Fazares]

i hope they use a new physics engine and not a slight tweak of the current gen one....

[Gegenki]

This new AI thing has me extremly excited.
I too want not necessarily a physics upgrade but more, an upgrade to how the players react. Like when I make them run using L1 and then they run into someone and stop running.
The words "total control" are may favourite of the article. If they give me more control over when and how my players make runs I'll be happy

[SS]

Aside from the gameplay-is-better-than-graphics argument, I honestly don't feel the graphics are going to be a problem at all. Remember that these screenshots are taken up close to the players, probably just to show the details, but in reality the majority of the game is played from a much farther viewpoint, making the players look a lot better.

You should see how the character models of the PS2 version looked up close and compare that to how they looked from far. Big difference...

the point is this gfx sucks..no excuse there...as long as they use a new physix engine i could be happy nonetheless...pes7 has began to show the age....ball physix can be godly with the power of the cell...

Graphics aren't that bad except for the last pic.

yeah, I agree that the graphics suck when you look at them up close, but my point is that you wont be able to tell for most of the game, because of how far the camera is.

WTF Konami no Wii version?

[NickSCFC]

Konami are using the same graphics engine they used in last year's PES for Xbox 360. And yes, fair enough everyone is a little disappointed with the screens.

What makes this game truely next-gen is three things, AI, controls and animation.

When you see the video everyone will be like WOW!

[Raitei]

'll be happy
I will, on the other hand, not be happy
i lose enough to you as it is.

If they can iron out the frustrating things from 6 i will be happy, especially the stumbling, man that gets on my nerves

[curryking1]

WTF Konami no Wii version?

I'm sure they will make a Wii version, the Wii will show it's staying power I bet and Konami would be foolish not to support it. I hope the Wii does well and they are essentially forced to take the oppurtunity.

[Diresu]

They can always port the PS2 version.

[curryking1]

^Ya I bet they would do that and have a change of control scheme and modify whatever needs be, add some new gameplay feature for it, it honestly makes the most sense to do it that way.

What the ***k is that avatar btw hahahha!

[VideoGame mania]

I wouldn't be shocked if Wii gets PS3 version, I'm sure Konami wouldn't pass this opportunity. There is a possibility the PS3 version is a wii port.

That doesn't make any sense whats-so-ever. Im sure Sony put in millions into the game to get a wii port. BS of the highest degree.

[Diresu]

Did they really ? I doubt Sony moneyhats can outweigh MS and Nintendo consoles sold.

Yes they did. What are you even basing that on? Why in gods name would you port the unannounced Wii version? If they were porting it to begin with, it would be of the 360 engine. Except that Konami has been working with Sony for a true PS3 PES version so if anything, rest would get the ps3 port or build of the existing engines.

I was basing on the graphics, it can qualify as a Wii game.

Obviously you never played a WE game.

[VideoGame mania]

Obviously you never played a WE game.
Actually I have and I'm pretty good at it.

[Diresu]

Actually I have and I'm pretty good at it.

Is that also why you think graphics are what make the series what it is? Since you know, you can see the number of animations from a screenshot. You ask any PES fan what makes WE what it is...noone will say graphics. Its the animations and gameplay which you can't see in a screen. But I think you are in this section just to whine and spread your bitterness about the ps3.

[masteratt]

Yeah, exactly dude.
He did that in the other thread too.

MODs are asleep?

You think wrong, I'm satisfied with ps3 and I'm not bitter at all.
I know gameplay will be there which is the most important, but I want more and it's next gen graphics that's why PS3 was made for. If I want more bang for my buck does it make me a whiner ?

Yes it does lol. They focus on graphics and it takes focus away from gameplay. They aren't exactly a huge team. Personally I am glad they focused on what makes WE the game that it is. ANIMATIONS. Also, I am doubting these screens are the final ones anyway but even if they are, who gives a damn. Having 2x more animations and adaptive AI is what i want from this game and they are delivering. Would I take better graphics on top of all this? Yes...but thats not always an option. As I said, they are not a huge team. They already had help from Sony to make this game both financially and Sony sent people from the 1st party studios to help last I heared.

If a game like GT5 suddenly looks like GT1, then sure, you have the right to complain. But unlike GT5, this game have never had impressive graphics. It had always been the gameplay, AI, animation, etc. But at least on the PS3, it's getting better graphics than the previous one. Do you see the last generation version looking anything near this? No. So what are you complaining about?

[Raitei]

Hey, hey, stop with the handbags. VGM already stated that he knows the game is all about gameplay, but it's not like excellent graphics would go amiss.
can we please leave it there?

A new bit of (un-cornfirmed) news
"The image of PES 2008 is PC and Xbox 360 edition of the game. PS3 image is not released for the SONY embargo by Konami."

The website itself is officially recognised by Konami, just adds a little more credibilty.

[VG Aficionado]

Well, that's interesting! I'd still not expect the PS3 version to blow all the other versions away though... or maybe yes?

[Fazares]

Seriously if getting 'ultra optimistic' is going to pay off with any company, it's going to be with Konami.

And didn't Sony help these guys with funding and development? hmmm :)

I'm going to reserve judgement until I atleast see a game play vid of this.

/off topic

anyone tried to run PES5 on PS3 with one PS3 pad and one PS2 pad ?!
it is strange when i plug PS2 to console then it works on menu etc.
(PS3 pad doesn't work then)
and when i start the game it just stop working.
(PS3 pad works then)

so i think in thread like this one there are some PES fans
so maybe someone knows what i have to do to make it work ?!

[NickSCFC]

A gameplay video of the PS3 version, that is.
Either, PES is always the same across formats.

[VG Aficionado]

Either, PES is always the same across formats.If it really was, it would make no sense media from the PS3 version is under embargo.

[Z]

just because someone thinks the graphics aren't as good as they are doesn't mean some of you have to say "it's about gameplay". he didn't say anything about gameplay. WE is known for being the best ball game out there. and that doesn't have to get in the way of another topic about the game like graphics, sound, presentation, online modes and structure, etc.

as for the graphics, I am waiting to see how the new FIFA looks like (did they release pics yet?). and as always, I expect WE to look like the second beat ball game out there- since the others are dwarfed by these two it wouldn't really matter how they are, or even be memorable.

[Fazares]

If it really was, it would make no sense media from the PS3 version is under embargo.
just my thoughts...exactly...

[NickSCFC]

If it really was, it would make no sense media from the PS3 version is under embargo.

Sigh, even PSM3 UK have said they were PS3 shots, and that you have to see the game in motion to see where the leap is.

[False_Messiah]

I read this psm3 uk blog. I dont know, the text seems a little vague, but maybe the game will look the same on the 2 consoles. But, the 18gb advantage ( if true) isnt small, lets wait and see the differences. Just hope its not CG movies or Giga quality sound effects.

[KRA]

anyone here with memory card adapter ?!?!

By the sounds of it Krack3n has the Sony memory card adapter and a PS2 memory card. He will transfer the save to the PS2 memory card and then use the adapter to transfer this to the PS3. He will then copy the .psv file that is created on the PS3 to his PC and send this to you to copy to your PS3 via a USB stick.
it seem very easy.

It'll look the same on all 3 next-gen formats. If you want a better looking footie game get FIFA 08.

[BruceWayneIII]

More on the topic of the PS3 version:

"I've seen a fair bit more of PES 2008 than they've shown on the net, and I'm now super excited in an unashamedly zestful fan's way. I might be wrong. But at least I've got an idea what they're up to.

I was also initially pleased, but underwhelmed, by the first batch of shots. From what Konami tell us, a lot of internal resource has been geared to the PS3 version, and it's seems only fair to be optimistic."

[NickSCFC]

FIFA's getting better

[Z]

I wouldn't compare FIFA play mechanic to WE as they are very different. for better or for worse, FIFA is always trying something new with each installment. I left the series a while and when I came back about 2 iterations later, I couldn't play at all. it has become more technical like WE as of late.
but if you fancy WE's play style more, then FIFA has everything else going on for it.

Today is the day Konami reveals more about PES8, right?

No exclusive lock-out period for PES 2008

Konami looks to lure in casual and lapsed gamers with FIFA-esque rebranding for the popular football franchise

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 will be released simultaneously on both Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year – leaving Microsoft and Sony battling head-to-head for market share of the system-selling title’s fans.

Last year, Konami gifted Xbox 360 an exclusive ‘lock-out’ deal on PES 6 – and the console benefitted from huge huge sales. The title never appeared on PS3.

With PES?2008, the publisher has again decided against releasing a Wii version – leaving the console’s two more expensive rivals in their very own next-gen duel.

Konami told MCV that it is confident that the rebranding from PES’s usual numeric title to a chronological moniker similar to that of heated rival FIFA will prove an attractive proposition to lapsed gamers.

“Switching from PES 6’s numbered title to a year with PES?2008 will help casual gamers to identify the latest version,” Konami UK marketing manager Jon Murphy told MCV.

“We’re striving to improve quality and hope this will have an impact on sales, and building on a loyal fanbase which should strengthen the release.”

Murphy told MCV that Konami couldn’t comment on the improved online features, but that it would “announce more information shortly”.

The game will be released on PS3, 360, PC, PS2, PSP and DS in the autumn.http://www.mcvuk.com/news/27572/No-exclusive-lock-out-period-for-PES-2008

[curryking1]

That's a smart move I think to change the title like that. Cool stuff.

PS3 PES 2008 playable for the first time at GC (http://www.gamers-creed.com/Consoles/PS3/55.html)

9:00am on August 23rd will mark a historic date for football fans and games players across Europe, as Konami uses the Games Convention in Leipzig to show the PLAYSTATION®3 version of PES 2008 for the first time.

Visitors to the Konami stand (Hall 4, Booth B11) will be the first people to get a hands-on play of the eagerly-awaited next generation football title, which is just one of dozens of big new titles from the publisher. With more details to follow, Konami has whet appetites with the announcement that key members of its development teams will be on hand to present new titles, including Koji ‘IGA’ Igarashi who will be showing Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable). Similarly, William Oertel, who is overseeing Silent Hill Origins for PSP® will unveil the future of the series.

PES 2008 will be released in Autumn and introduces ‘Teamvision’, a unique system of artificial intelligence that adapts according to an individual’s style of play to create the balanced and strategic play of a high stakes match. Player detail and animation have also been taken to incredible details thanks to the high-definition power afforded by the Next Gen hardware, and visitors to Games Convention 2007 will also be invited to play the game on PC, Xbox 360 and more.

“We will witness one of the most exciting system changes ever at this year’s Games Convention,“ commented Martin Schneider, Sales and Marketing Director Germany for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “We can promise visitors and gamers in Leipzig that Konami will play a major role in this year´s gaming year – delivering new games and additions to popular franchises, while producing exciting games for new systems and established formats.”

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH can be found during the GC from august 23rd to 26th in hall 4, booth B11. Further details will be announced shortly.

News update!

-Diving and shirt pulling (strict refereeing over these)

-No more black screen between a foul and free kick

-Faster passing (swerve)

-Biggest change in animation to the series since PES3

-Offline player profile

-German league added

-Ghana and Ivory Coast licenced

-Fenerbahce and Sao Paulo licenced

-Michael Owen and Cristiano Ronaldo on UK cover

-Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo on Spain cover

http://www.journaux.fr/images/revues/T4386S.jpg

[masteratt]

And they confirmed all the versions are the same so you can stop hoping :(

The diving is going to add so much to this game.
It's unfortunately a very crucial part of the real thing and we all know how PES series can simulate an aspect of real life football so imagine diving at the 90th minute and earning a penalty to get that winner :)

Add that to the fact now that referee's make ''random mistakes'' on foul and offside calls and PES is sure to give you a heart attack.

Although with the cheating AI of PES series (oh c'mon :p) the ''random referee'' mistakes might always piss you off.

4players.de PES 2008 Preview

They have only played the PS2 and Xbox 360 versions, but confirmed a constant slowdown on the X360 version. They are confident that Konami will solve that prior to release. Well, there is spoken intro and such little tweaks, but apart from that it´s the same as it ever was. Still no currency included either, you still get points for you wins.

* Edit mode on all platforms.
* Graphics better, but no quantum leap.
* Nice menus, great animations.
* Stadiums still with old textures, some slowdowns (they hope this will get worked over for final version).
* Ball physics and animations improved.
* Good AI, they lost against com the first two matches on third difficulty level.
* Ball feels and sounds heavier, great long distance shooting.
* Physique of players more realistic.
* Dribbling better, differences in acceleration of players play a greater role.
* Defense more difficult (second player pressing less effective, pass anticipation more rewarding)
* Great goalie animations.
* Lobs easier
* They did not succeed with a dive, yellow card every time.
* Com also dives in master league, also always got a yellow.
* You can choose the numbers of players in the wall.
* They could not test shirt pulling and bringing up defenders on corners.
* Quick free-kicks work great.
* PS2 with 33 stadiums, random matches, more detailed training mode, world tour, community features.
* Replays on all platforms
* More statistics (highest victory, longest (distance) goal, best possession percentage).
* Master League presentation improved.
* Now popularity and image of a club play a role in Master League.

Bad news for PS3 fans (for now).

GC Leipzig 07: Xbox 360 Version Shines (http://www.winningelevenblog.com/2007/08/xbox-360-version-shines.html)

What the fuck happened to "three times better on PS3"....Pffft.
Ah well.
It's all about PES anyway, not console wars though I must admit I was intrigued by the PS3 version being "three times better".

[Gegenki]

why did I buy a ps3? Pro evo is my game and my rival may get it on 360!!! Hey isn't washout a tv thing. The sad thing is Iknow pro is slightly different on pc to ps2 but some things are better on one over the other

[masteratt]

Well sorry to say FOR NOW, it looks like Sony was only helping with the development funds to get the PS3 version up to speed.

Shame.

But if any company is good at disappointing and then coming back with a nice surprise, It's Sony so you never know.
Being optimistic won't hurt in this case.

Wii version announced.....finally.

Konami wants the controls to make the game really stand out.

^They may be too late. Mario Strikers is too damn fun.

Jumping at the chance to play the first version of Pro Evolution Soccer for the PlayStation 3, we were pleased to see how good the game looked. Now 75 percent through development, the game looks noticeably sharper on the PS3 at this point than on the Xbox 360.

Bah, it's just a matter of opinion than.
Some say it's better on 360, some say it's better on PS3 :shrug:
