GodisaGeek: " Between Dan and myself, we’ve played over 10 hours of PES 2017, and we decided to break down some of the important facets into easy to digest video chats, with brand new footage I captured myself.
This video is about the visuals, authenticity, and player AI."
Like all great photographs, the covers of the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer video games capture a moment in time. But which ones have been best?
Some of the best games to play are soccer (football, for our non-American friends). When you're looking for one of the best video games for team sports, and multiplayer play, look no further than the soccer game genre. The world of soccer video games is dominated by two heavy hitters: FIFA and PES (Pro Evolution Soccer). These two game developers keep pushing each other to have better characterization, crisper graphics, and a stronger gameplay engine. As a result, the real winner is the gamer. Let's look at both and see which is best.
PES 2018 Beta has finally kicked off and thanks to that we can see how the newest release in Pro Evolution Soccer series will look this year. Let’s compare it to previous game and check what kind of improvement we can expect.
Note: Both games are running on PS4 Pro with Boost Mode enabled.
Why is boost mode enabled? PES 17 had a Pro patch ages ago and am pretty sure the beta also has Pro features. But anyhow am loving the new passing system. Has been funny learning it while also watching the other player trying to get the hang of it.
That first Suarez goal celebration sequence had me fooled for a second. :O
Looks good, however have they sorted the AI fouls, or lack of this year?. I played over 3 seasons on PES16 & had 2 yes 2 fouls in all that time. It didn't matter what difficulty i was on. No fouls, no pens, no red/yellow cards no sending offs, why make a football game when half the stuff that happens in a game is missing..Can only hope they addressed it this year.
Think they could still make the animations a lot better, players still seem a bit robotic. Looks pretty awesome though.
