Still no VITA is a big letdown, but I guess it was expected. Anticipating this years release, 2015 was a massive improvement over 2014, so hoping for a similar jump this year.

Indeed. But I get why some prefer FIFA over PES. It's easier to score great goals in FIFA.



Can't really blame Microsoft for Konamis poor engine.

Lol. Ground Zeroes runs like a dream on the PS4. The engine is A-grade, and it's a damn shame that Konami are imploding and we won't get more games using it.

More like the return of the return of the king. 2015 was fantastic, apart from the PC version not being same as the PS4/XO version.

For me this foundation that Konami is building it all started with 2014, a lot of people didn't like it the 14 edition, but for me it was the turning point of this franchise

I returned to the series last year, it's a great game but they have to tone down the efectiveness of the through ball right in the middle of the defense. Other than that, more animations and better colisions are more than welcome.

The king is here to stay.

‘LOVE THE PAST, PLAY THE FUTURE’: PES 2016 ANNOUNCED AS AWARD-WINNING SERIES RETURNS FOR ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON

Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has announced a September 18th release date for PES 2016, marking the 20th anniversary edition of the hugely successful football series.

From its humble origins on PSOne, the PES series has leaped from format to format, adding ever more realism as it evolved. This heritage has been celebrated in PES 2016’s new tagline ‘Love The Past, Play The Future’, highlighting the series’ recent return to core PES values in last year’s PES 2015 and focusing on the many new gameplay and presentational elements that will further establish the series as the definitive football experience.

PES 2016 aims to retain its title of ‘Best Sports Game’, as voted across the world at games shows and by major media outlets in 2014, by continuing to lead the way in the recreation of ‘The Beautiful Game’. The series aims to go back to its roots to create an exciting match between users, and proudly present PES 2016 to deliver quality gameplay as per KONAMI’s ‘The Pitch is Ours’ mantra. From further integration of the industry-leading Fox Engine to bring the on-pitch action to life and full commitment to centre the product around creating the best gameplay experience, to the full redevelopment of Master League, every facet of the game has been enhanced to deliver yet another outstanding product.

FRESH GAMEPLAY

Exciting advancements reaffirming the PES series as having the very best gameplay.

  • Advanced Collision System – The physicality of the modern game has been realised in PES 2016 with a significantly improved collision system, calculating how players interact and creating a unique outcome depending on the type of impact.
  • Aerial Strength – With the new physicality system, aerial battles are a completely unique experience this year. Use the left stick to battle the opposition or disrupt a larger, more powerful, player; or find the best position to make the header/volley.
  • 1v1 Control – In PES 2016 the 1v1 player control have been enhanced, offering a wide range of movements within the existing control structure. Response times have been improved, allowing players to manoeuvre in tight situations. This also benefits the upgraded feint moves that allow sudden directional change that can cause defenders to lose their balance. The 1on1 situations now offer a great leap in exciting table-turning outcomes. Just as the real pitch offers opportunities for those brave enough to perform, in PES 2016 players can pull off precise action, manoeuvre flexibly and pull away from the defender. Technique and timing can see a defender lose his balance, and creates great chances just as you pictured.
  • Perfect Defence – Performing a tackle at the perfect time will powerfully shove the player out of the way to secure the ball. The ball will immediately be yours, creating direct turnarounds and counter opportunities.
  • Intelligent Player AI – 2-3 player combination play will be available via the improved concept of team strategy, which depends on the type of tactic you set for your team. Players are no longer reliant on manually triggering a one-two, with teammates intelligently running off passes into space.
  • Goal Keeper ID – In a bid to improve quality and add unique individuality in performance, new goal keeper parameters have been added that vary in Catching, Clearance, Collapsing and Deflecting. This adds character to the players, who you can count on catching the ball rather than punching, or are better at stopping close range shots.
  • Celebration Control – New for the series, players have full control over goal celebrations to maximize their excitement when scoring! Prompts appear after a goal to trigger a trademark celebration, or unique actions at the press of a button.

FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES

New significant improvements across key modes and features.

  • New Master League – The famous and hugely popular Master League enjoys a total revamp, allowing users to immerse themselves in the managerial world of soccer. Every element has been redesigned or reworked, from the vibrant and involving menus to the new and exciting player transfer system, PES 2016 see one of the series most integral modes redefine the single-player experience.
  • New Visuals – Incorporating the many advancements of the Fox Engine, the visuals have seen a huge upgrade. See the rain splash as players slide in to win possession, or the turf kick up as you strike the ball into the top corner. New night-time lighting and real turf textures are among some of the many improvements.
  • Dynamic Weather – For the first time in the PES series, dynamic weather has been introduced, with the chance of rain starting during the game. Combined with the ever more realistic ball physics, the rain changes how the game can be played with passes speeding up, and less skilled players likely to struggle with trapping. The defender taken by the 1-on-1 will also be more likely to slip and fall due to incorrect studs or blades. This feature is applied to all offline modes including the Master League, and is an important element to decide the outcome of the match.
  • Human Motion – Seeking to humanize player movement, 3x new animations have been added to bring the in-game superstars to life. Goalkeepers have seen an abundance of save animations added, while outfield players shoot, pass, dribble and tackle with incredible variety depending on the situation. Players complain when a foul isn't given, or lament a teammate when a pass isn't made when in open space. The new 1v1 control also benefits from this, with players being able to fool their opponents with shimmies and feints that can result in causing the opposing player to lose his balance and fall in the wrong direction!
  • New Ball Physics – The past few years has seen the series make huge advancements in ball physics, and for PES 2016 new levels of realism have been reached. Each spin, bobble and ricochet has been calculated using real ball physic data, helping keep every moment in every game unique and unpredictable.

QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS

Many important elements are upgraded per fan feedback.

  • myClub – Since the launch of the mode in PES 2015, myClub has been updated on a weekly basis, and has been further improved based on user feedback for PES 2016. The enhancement will introduce player level systems, and players exclusive to the mode. Use GP acquired through matches or myClub coins to experience realistic club management combined with players to strive to be stronger in your squad. Choose the manager, consider coaches, and build the strategy based on what you aim with your team. Build Your Team, Create Your legacy!
  • Dynamic Wide Camera Angle – The new angle gives you a larger field of vision, allowing you to better plan and adjust your players to compete in aerial battles, or see the intelligent runs being made thanks to Intelligent Player AI. Depending on where the ball is on the pitch, the camera will tilt and pan accordingly to make sure the user has the best view possible during the match.
  • Commentary – New commentators have been introduced for both UK and Germany, with Peter Drury and Marco Hagemann joining the PES team. A wealth of new lines and specific stories have been recorded dedicated for Master League, responding to player transfers, player growth and team performance.
  • PS4 Image Importing – Edit mode is synonymous with the PES series, and further updates have been made to this hugely popular mode. PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 users are now able to import images into the game, thus perfectly replicating any team kit or emblem the user wishes - including managers.

PES 2016 will also exclusively retain its use of the UEFA Champions League club competition, which was announced recently. This new three-year partnership allows KONAMI to feature both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League club competitions within its many options, with both featured as individual modes or within the larger season overview upon qualification - with the UEFA Super Cup featured within the iconic Master League mode

Further details of PES 2016’s content – including a rewards program for current myClub users crossing over this year – will follow, with new information and screenshots released at E3 next week.

New commentators! At long last. No more listening to Champion and Lawrenson!

All they need to do now is confirm the PC version is the same as XONE and PS4 and not some hybrid like last year.

Do that and I preorder.

Someone at EA has been very sloppy, the big news tile reads "Neymar becomes cover star for PES2016", and this is in FIFA15.

Arrrgghh I'm so conflicted.
On the one hand, fuck Konami, on the other, they seem to be getting PES, which has always been my favourite football game, back on track. Guess I'll have to wait and see how this turns out...

Edit: Just saw about the return of option files, guess I'm in and I'm a hypocrite.

The news services are provided by third-parties.
Anyway I've quite enjoyed PES2014 on PS3 when it was offered in PS+, but I don't have a PS4/Xbone when PES2015 comes out so I got FIFA15 on Origin instead. It's not bad but the ball physics and rendering and collisions are a bit outdated. Especially ball physics.

Definitely getting both this year.

Yeah, it might even be even less than that as the people tend to keep things up to date when it comes to kits, early versions could be up the first week with a bit of work. No mention of being able to import things like competition logos for custom competitions though.

What's with all the replies about Xbox/FoxEngine and 1080p?
Could someone elaborate, is it the engine itself that can't run 1080p or more along the lines of a particular system?

Slowly but surely they are getting there, hopefully they just keep improving year over year.
I've always enjoyed PES more than Fifa (especially J-League editions).

Apparently the way the engine works doesn't fare well with the Xbox's ESRAM. Seems pretty weird since you'd think they would have thought about that.

IMO, Darren Fletcher from BT sport would be a better fit than Drury, but hopefully they'll give him more lines and some better co-commentator than Champion had.
