New commentators for Pro Evolution Soccer 2008?
Posted by Peter Willis in PES 2008 News on Thu 09 Aug
Please, please, please let this be true! Zoo are reporting that Konami have finally dumped the abysmal combination of Peter Brackley and Trevor Brooking.
The new pairing is said to be ITV/Setana’s Jon Champion and BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson. I think Jon Champion has one of the best commentary voices around, and although not the biggest fan of ‘Lawro’ at times, he surely can’t be any worse than Trevor Brooking.
What must be remembered though is that the commentary for the last few years on PES hasn’t been poor just because of who they got to do it. The scripting MUST be improved this time around – and with acres of room on the disc to play with I don’t see why we can’t have tons of new scripting and a whole better feel to the commentary altogether.
Then again, this is Konami we are talking about – we all know they can easily mess up the simplest of details.
Thanks to the NickSCFC via the W.E.N.B. team for the news.
H-U-G-E mistake! Brackley & Brooking were comedy gold. I don’t know why Konami are trying to make PES2008 more like a FIFA game. The commentary in FIFA is so wooden and poorly delivered. At least Brackley and Brooking delivered their dialogue with conviction – no matter how bizarre the dialogue was!
