I am amused when people compare PES to FIFA. PES is miles ahead in gameplay and what football is about. Lolzor they don't have kits you say?
Absolutely loved the previous games. But this was due to the formula it had enough to separate it from the Stealth genre and the shoot em ups too. It would be a shame if they changed that too much. "Movie tie in" just chills my spine because they are crap unless its goldeneye.
My fondest memory is playing the original MGS on a borrowed psx without a memory card as we were in financial difficulty.
When my mom and dad went to bed I would play everynight till the next morning. Then go to bed when everyone got up.
The boss battles were epic, phsycho mantis, wolf and grey fox. This game was just immense.
Not exactly on topic but hear me out.
The FIFA license, International Rugby Board (IRB) and International Cricket Council (ICC) licenses are all wasted at EA. They under utilise the FIFA license with poor kits and presentation.
The IRB and ICC license which is held by EA but haven't released a next gen game and all 3 are knower near the pedigree of the 2k sports range and MLB 09.
I didn't like FIFA 09 and still like what PES offers in terms of indivualism. There is no difference to Ribery and Messi in FIFA but play them in PES and you will immediately see the difference. This to me is more important than animations.
People need to chill the hell out.
There were over enough AAA titles for the PS3 this year. We are in the midst of a recession. Most people, myself included cannot afford so many exclusive games plus the yearly multiplats like PES, FIFA, Madden, UFC etc.
Not to mention a Blu ray collection.
Is this the same IGN that gave PES 2008 a 90+ score? The game was heavily flawed and started the exodus of the PES fans to the FIFA franchise. Then to make matters worse the IGN name is on the adboards and the halftime screen.
I have no interest in a console war and am happy that xbox have games coming out as this has been a mediocre year for xbox in terms of exclusives thus far. But lets revel in the fact that we can enjoy the games be it Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony.
I have to disagree with the thought of MGS being overated but I can understand why some would feel this way. GTA IV to me was a fantastic game for about two hours then went to be the most over hyped game I have ever played, while others are into it completely.
I on the otherhand prefer a game that tells a story and has soul and life in it's characters and MGS has this in leaps and bounds. To each their own I guess.
Can we also please stop with the childish XBOX vs ...
I played this game and it was horrendous. As someone whose actually seen the Ultimate Warrior I can well and truly say that it was meant for 10-3 yr olds. The best wrestling game IMO WWE Hardcore on the PS1 remains the best wrestling game yet IMHO
However BR is presently double the price for a release day DVD and most people dont see the need to spend extra on BR.
My wife recently bought Twilight on DVD inspite of my BR hypeing up for just this reason and I have to agree
Excellent news. I hope this translates into a price cut here in my beloved 3rd world South Africa. lol
I am reporting this article as fake.
Everyone knows and it is well documented that Blu ray and PS3 = fail, is dead, is doomed, in need of saving and currently doing a death spiral ;-]
Does anyone really care about the console war anymore?
Love the sensitivity around here. Just for a split second imagine soldiers entering your country and killing your mother, father, brother or sister because they are "terrorists" just think how you would feel.
I'll only buy this if I can play as an Iraqi.
I promised myself I would not get caught into the hype with PES.
I clearly remember taking out Fifa 98 from my PSX and replacing it with this Winning Eleven game that a friend picked up in Hong Kong. At first I was put off with the japanese menus which I managed to work around then I was met with cartoonish graphics which seemed poor compared to FIFA
But then I was struck by the awesome gameplay and animations.
I have since bought every WE/ISS/PES game to date ...
Well done HHG you have managed to make yourself heard and getting people to react, no matter what the reaction is. That is journalism for you in the 21st century.
Seabass better pull his finger out.
PES has become stale since PES6.
Thank god EA upped the pace. KONAMI must realise that they have lost more than gained fans since PES2008.
Used games is the way to go.
When I was a PS2 owner not much but since good old blu ray I've really gone all out. I'm saving a ton of money.
Shock horror. What's new and why and what's the fuss? I still play PS1 games on my PSP
