PES 2014 Demo coming in August
- Thread starter rvy
- Start date
Confirmed:
Embargo for the new previews ends tomorrow too.
Edit, confirmed that it's the demo.
Arnie is a fucking asshole, he was loving the demo and never gave us proper impressions.
I hope the demo doesn't have 5 minute halves. I'll just have to download it for PC if it does.
Adam must have gotten hold of him.
Yes he is, but I think he was and still is under some NDA by Konami. Cant wait for BAYERN with Fox Engine

Considering how he is holding the pen I deduce that there are 2 numbers beneath it. Further mental powers have deduced 22 august through the power of guessing.
If it's on the 22nd they might as well release the Gamescom build as the demo then.
As I said yesterday on their fb page, unless it's a EPL licensing deal, they can't have a HUGE thing to announce. The least they can due to become relevant again is securing the big 6 english teams. Otherwise, it's a joke. Having the Champions League name but not all the team in it? Poor Konami...

I've been surprised by how much I've enjoyed PES 2013. Can't stand Fifa any longer. So I'm very much looking forward to this. Plus it'll be on PC!
How do people still not get this? EA have an exclusive deal with the EPL and Konami cannot license more than 2 English clubs for each game. EA have went as far as actually making exclusive deals with EPL clubs so that Konami can't even include those.
Get an OptionFile and be done with it, Konami can't do anything about this. You want change, get people to sue EA.
Appears so. The demos are uploaded on tuesdays and wednesdays. God I hope that Konami doesnt dumb down the AI in the final version again... Last years second demo was perfect! The retail version was such a bummer until the patch at the begining of the year...
Can't you read or what? I'm not saying they will do it. All I'm saying is for me PES is no longer a viable option when september comes and I need my football game. I've been buying ISS then PES since 1996 (on N64). Bought PES 2010,11,12 on PC and modded the shit out of them. Last year I went for FIFA on PS3 and I may not buy a football game this year and rely on random multiplayer sessions with friends on whatever they will end up buying.
Believe me, I have more important things in my life to do than suing EA to be able to give Konami 60/year. It's their problem, not mine.

Moreso than my inability to read, you have an inability to write.
They won't do it because they can't do it. A demo announcement is a huge announcement for PES fans. PES no longer a viable option because EA have a lockdown on the EPL? You don't wanna download an OptionFile for the PS3? Sue EA.
Your original post was read just fine. You complained about the lack of Premier League licensing and said Konami should at least licence the top 6 teams. You were told this wasn't possible, as has been said many, many times.
Blame EA and download an option file like everyone else. Simple.

Or you could quickly patch it for free and circumvent the problem entirely.
Feel free to consider it HUGE. I've seen a demo every year for the last years.
And just because you wanna sue EA doesn't make you a bigger PES fan than me. But feel free to consider it the way you want
Oh my God, what a dumbass post. It is huge because people are looking forward to trying out the most promising PES in the entire generation and this tells them when they can. Your criteria for what "huge" means doesn't apply, because it's apparently moronic given the circumstances.
If you actually knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't even consider the option for this to be related to the EPL, or any of its clubs, in any way, shape or form, because you'd know that it's impossible for that to happen. Weird that such a big PES fan is so out of the loop.
I don't wanna sue anyone, turns out that this so-called "issue" that prevents you from buying a game and is completely out of Konami's control is easily fixed by downloading an OptionFile. But if you're whining about it on the internet, for a guy who has much more important things to do with his life, clearly it's a big deal to you, so sue.
Last time I tried on PS3 (PES 2012), I had hundred of files to manually copy in order to get everything properly set. On 360, just forget about it!
Or we can try not to derail the thread and forget about "my" problem with lack of licenses in PES...

Licensing is still a problem with PES and patching the PS3 version needs some time and work but the game is much more rewarding and satisfying than any other football game. The main problem is the unevenly AI in the game. On superstar level the CPU is often much better than the player AI. I hope Konami get rid of those cheap tricks and work on a proper dynamic AI for both sides.
I don't know if you have been living under a rock for this console generation, but I have been promised a revolution with every new edition of PES. I ended up not believing them anymore. They are using a new engine, so they may end up delivering something good. A voir.
It took them a couple of years before they "got" what nextgen is, and what once used to be a true simu fell behind FIFA. Reading seabass interviews each year and having him admit that they failed with the previous game but 'this" year will be the one just got to a ridiculous point.
Am I excited for PES/FIFA this year? No. EA will probably focus on PS4/XB1 (not planning on buying one) and Konami will probably suffice itself for this year with a new engine. Release next year on new consoles and (hopefully) deliver a great game in 2015.
In the meantime, I'd love them to prove me wrong.
Yes its way easier now to copy options files of the PS3 version. I absolutely liked last years PES. It was the best football game in years.
Sorry I didn't give proper impressions, can someone copy over my recent post from the Football thread? I'm at work and on my phone.
Game's good, though. You'll all find that out soon enough. Input lag and referees need fixing. And a problem that means players don't really lock onto through balls correctly. But all that could be fixed by now.

This is like saying that 2k is at fault for not having the NFL license.
EA locked the license down, Konami can't do anything about it other than offering players an easier time with OptionFiles.
EA's exclusivity has a clause which doesn't allow Konami to license more than 2 English clubs. On top of that EA has made exclusive partnerships with EPL clubs to ensure that they are never going anywhere.
So, how's Konami at fault here?
Why would you want me to copy this from Footie-GAF?
What are you even talking about? The EPL license is exclusive to EA, even Football Manager (one of the biggest series in Europe) doesn't have it:

Not only that but EA is a much bigger company and has much more money they can kill their competition by buying exclusive licenses (see NFL2K), it has nothing to do with "will".

can´t wait!
from the picture, it seems the demo will be in the first 9 days of Aug. as the marker isnt big enough to cover 2 numbers from that distance from the background.
unless the date is confirmed and i missed it ^_^
Edit: either that or the 21st of Aug. which would be in Wednesday

I don't speak French, but le10sport.com has a preview up.
I'll just wait for tomorrow, I can't make out half of that shit. They say the game doesn't meet FIFA on graphics for current-gen when it already exceeds FIFA 14.
Animation-wise, it's not even a content.
Only thing I took from that is that Ronaldo is no longer the cover, being replaced by Neymar, which makes zero sense and I'd like to know where they got this info from.

Last time I played PES was on the PS2... After that we (my friends and I) switched to FIFA and even though I hate EA, PES wasn't compelling enough to switch back.
I'll give this PES a fair shot with the demo and if everyone else is on board I'd switch back to PES.

Does it take you 2 minutes to get to the team selection screen from the time your match ends like mine does?
It's so god damn frustrating, plus not being able to pick the fucking weather. How about a simple rematch option at the end of the fucking game EA?!?!!? so I don't have to go through that team selection screen again!!!!
I swear if PES get's close enough I'll jump ship....

Can't wait for this demo.
I really, really, really hope it's good enough to make me forget about Fifa. I'm tired of that glitchy mess.
Pes on pc this year, hopefully.

What annoys me greatly is FIFA always finding ways to completely fuck with my squad ratings. I turn it on one day and Fernando Torres is rated a 41, a 41! Sure, he's been a bust at Chelsea but not a 41!

The french preview doesn't say much.
They praise the focus on the simulation side of things, together with the jump in graphics (though they think Fifa still has the edge on that).
They don't even describe gameplay that well, they just say "just like in Fifa, build-up play and precise passes are key".
That's dumb.
