The lighting is some of worst I've seen at this E3. Everything seems to be flat shaded, and shadows (or the lack of shadows) makes everything look doll like. Animation has definitely been overhauled. Hats off to that.

Unfortunately in motion everything is way too exaggerated at the moment, it's as if every little movement the player will do something dramatic, as if they are afraid you'd miss the visual cue that something is happening. It could just be the guy playing showing off the feints.

AI seems to still need work, but ball movement looks really good, and the game seems to be going in the right direction overall, so it is back on my radar after the abysmal initial showing. Goalie animation still seems to be crap so far, hopefully they will fix it by the second inevitable patch we'll be getting.

The king has returned!....Not really. PES will continue to play second fiddle to Fifa as long as Fifa has all of the licenses, pro clubs and ultimate team.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Looks great! Shit, I don't know what to do - wanted it on Vita or PS4 ideally. Might have to just go for the PS3 version, although I know I won't have the time to dedicate to it this Q4.

No, I mean the part where he says there are no clubs that he likes.

 

[PaulLFC]

I assume he means his supported club isn't licensed, which can be solved in about 5 minutes by downloading an option file.

Pretty much. The community fixes EA's deep pockets that lock-down licenses. And because of the new engine, the new Edit Mode is going to be a helluva lot more advanced.
I'd be surprised if Konami doesn't have a way to share Option Files in the game itself. You know, kinda like those WWE games where you can download storylines and created wrestlers.

 

[GYNGA]

Very impressive animations

 

[aggro crag]

Whoa, the animation is a huuuuuuge step up from last year's PES. I hope Steam releases this new game at the same time as the console releases.

 

[Menelaus]

Yes, I'm talking about licensed clubs.

So do these option files also correctly change the fan colors, logos, and kits?

 

[rvy]

Yes, I'm talking about licensed clubs.

Yes.

They even bother to change the league icons. You can actually see it in the players kits. The Barclay's PL logo is there.

They did? Go on... links?

Is this something that's possible on consoles, or just PC?

 

[rvy]

Consoles too. Both of them these days. PC players can use both patches and Option Files.
You download the Option File, extract the files to a USB stick, plug it in your console and copy them. That's all.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

OMG those animations!

Finally.

 

[Brinbe]

konami pls... seriously, looks awful.

 

[Into]

...What? What is this sorcery?


This game is only coming to current gen systems? How did they manage to make it look like...real football? I mean it looks like televised games almost

 

[Spat_triate]

Customizable option files have been a staple of the PES series since PS2 days.

konami pls... seriously, looks awful.

What's awful about it? Looks head and shoulders above the competition so far. The only thing I'm concerned about right now is the Keeper AI.

It's on now

adelante beat me to it, lol.

PES fans breaking the stream. Motherfuckers.

 

[feel]

Fuck this is looking AMAZING!! Pls be true.

It's on now

Watching, looks so good.

 

[whatsinaname]

I am still seeing some of those ball awareness problems that plagued the previous few versions.

 

[bamboobimbo]

Japanese dude didn't want to through ball Robben

 

[feel]

Wish that had been something more than the bored producer trying to dribble his way through the cpu team the whole time. Some animations are still looking slow and overly complicated for what should be simple and fast movements. But looking nice, can't wait for the demo to see how it feels.

 

[rvy]

I wanted to watch this at 720p. GameSpot servers ruined it.

 

[Blablurn]

awww i missed it

Looks like love can bloom on the football field.

9/10

Looks fucking great. Still disappointed I'll have to wait a year to play it on next-gen consoles. Knowing Konami, the PC version will the exactly the same as the PS3/360 one.

 

[rvy]

awww i missed it

You fucking suck sometimes. It was Bayern vs Bayern too. Demo was alright. I still can't believe how good the animation is.

 

[Rashid]

I really wish they made this only on next gen. It was the perfect opportunity for them to take a stab at the FIFA dominance especially in the UK where it's got the entire market. Right now the dominance of FIFA has meant that it's stagnated in innovation every year. PES used to be soooo good.

 

[Yondy604]

honestly, it looked average at best

 

[adelante]

It just hit me that they've included animations that depict composed/casual "pace" quite well. In previous PES or FIFAs, the way players move always looked like they're constantly under pressure. But here you actually see them casually delivering a pass and jogging a few steps forward all in a straight posture, or doing so without first swinging their legs far back. It's a nice touch that goes a long way in making the game feel and look damn realistic.

awww i missed it

Can't you hit the live stream link and rewind all the back. That's what I've been doing for some games when I suddenly find myself too busy

Once the stream loads you can just rewind back to the PES section.

 

[Glorified G]

The king has returned!....Not really. PES will continue to play second fiddle to casual players as long as Fifa has all of the licenses, pro clubs and ultimate team.

fixed.

Just like when I was a kid playing the first PES games or even iss pros, I won't mind playing the less popular game if that's where the gameplay's at.

 

[Hieberrr]

G'DAMN DEM ANIMATIONS! WOWZAS. I might bite if it proves to be better than FIFA.

 

[Hieberrr]

Can't this be remedied through option files?

 

[Black Mantis]

Just be wary of sites that charge for it, as you can find free ones. Might have to do a bit of extra work in terms of copying files around, but you should be done in less than 10-15 minutes.

Too bad Konami didn't make a new engine for PS4/X1.

 

[aggro crag]

It's the Fox Engine. The same engine that Metal Gear Solid 5 is using.

 

[rvy]

Too bad Konami didn't make a new engine for PS4/X1.

But that's the point, this new engine is designed to be scalable.

I grew up on ISS myself and would never touch and Fifa games but the last few Pro Evo games I have picked up they have been pretty disappointing. Back when PES was still king we had a group of about 15 players who would do regular meet up tournaments - Currently about one of those people still play the PES series.

The game seems to of lost a lot mind share.

Rightfully so, PES has sucked since 2009.

For those who missed it, GameSpot demo in HD. The translator girls sounds really nervous, it's kinda cute.
