PES 2008 Boxart
Posted by Peter Willis in PES 2008 News on Mon 03 Sep
The cover for Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 in the UK has been unveiled courtesy of MCV via WENB. For me the logo should be bigger and much clearer - but it’s certainly not a bad boxart. Also confirmed is that the game will be landing in October, but no date appears to be set just yet (we say October 26th!).






Hi Peter, the logo is fine. You are being too negative all the time about nothing. Get some sun ;)
OK, I won’t have an opinion in future. That’ll make this blog a whole lot more interesting.
alot better than last year
It looks like it would make a better poster for a fan of Owen or Ronaldo than a box art for a soccer game. There isn’t even a soccer ball on the cover.
looks really gay…
Looks fine by me. Best ones in my opinion were Pes3 with Colina and Pes5 with Henry and Terry facing each other
looks crap
Haha we love you Peter :)
Peter GO AND GET LAID!
In a squeaky 9 yr old girls voice: “The Box Art aint right, blah, blah, blah”
Big Deal - Get Over It - The BoxArt is fine - It will end up on a shelf gathering dust the same way if it had a pair of Pert Buttocks with PES2008 tattooed on each cheek.
Your blog is informative and appreciated but who are you to comment? Are you not embarrassed with the shit you come out with sometimes? Are you not ashamed when you look in the mirror? Even I feel bad for you.
Go out and get some sunshine like the other person said.
I think Peter is cool, just having this Website, it´s alot of work so we should be loving him.
WE LOVE YOU PETER ;)

Is this Peter’s own website? I thought he was just a feature?
The best I have seen so far!
Yes Miles, this is my website. I have been running it since PES2, and have been playing the games since the original ISS on PSOne over 10 years ago. I think this gives me at least some ground to have an opinion, and no - of course I am not embarrassed by what I have to say otherwise I would not be saying it.
This is ridiculous backlash all because I think a logo is too small and not prominent enough? I could have gone on further to say that it looks more like a poster than a game box, and that it looks odd having a player in a club shirt next to a player in a country shirt.
god all you do is complain about pes…i cant wait for the game to come out so you can be proved wrong but maybe you will still have something bad to say about it…
Jimmi we all know what the good things are about the game. I am not going to say year in year out how great the gameplay is, because we know that already. If you take the time to read my posts carefully about this years game you will see that it is not complaints but more frustration by the lack of progression with the series over the past 7 years since arriving on PS2.
Major homo-erotic undertones if you ask me! ;o)
Looks ace.
Well Peter, I like you have been playing since ISS on PS1 and my video gaming history goes way back to the Phillips VideoPac when I was a kid in 70’s. By your own admission - does this make me a Video Gaming & Marketing Guru like you aswell?
Anyone who plays video games Miles can form opinions about it. This is PESGaming, a blog run by myself. Blogs are meant to be opinionated, they would be rather dull without them. I personally feel the new game does not match my expectations (we are not talking about the boxart, I couldn’t really give 2 hoots about that) and I feel I should be able to express that without being asked ridiculous questions such as am I embarrassed by my own opinion.
I have spent too long licking Konami’s ass every year with my reviews yet every year I kinda feel let down due to missing such simple features out. All I have said over the past 2 weeks is that Konami need to wake up and realise that EA are very quickly advancing and catching Konami up in terms of the quality of their FIFA franchise.
not bad box art but:
this box art makes it certain that man utd are not going to be licenced
well petey maybe you are blind because the game developed a lot in the past 7 years and remained the best soccer game around for the past 7 years..yes fifa nearly caught up last year but thats cause konami had problems with the new xbox developing the game but this year pes will be the best soccer game around and yes fifa will be good but not good enough…STOP THE NEGATIVITY…PLEASE
Nice logo Peter. When the PES 2008 coming shop? 12th day or 26th day september? I’m so outside in this case when PES come. Hopefully soon.
- Finland boy
I personally think Fifa has been the same over the last few years aswell(I should know, I worked on the QA team for 05 and 06), same old pants gameplay, 07 was a big turd of a football game, and 08 sounds even worse, all that be a pro shite. Games where you control 1 player have never worked in the past, so that mode will struggle to make an impact.
Much better than last years’s with that gay Adriano showing his fat leg to us and a gay on the background.The best besides this was The Terry and Henry on in PES 5.
Sorry i made mistakes in my name and email.
‘All I have said over the past 2 weeks is that Konami need to wake up and realise that EA are very quickly advancing and catching Konami up in terms of the quality of their FIFA franchise’
You mean advancements like adding more lame tricks that players like Beckham and Marcell Jansen (according to a video I saw) can pull off with no trouble? Or keeping the old ‘glued to feet’ ball physics?
The tricks aren’t easy to do, and what’s wrong with two world class strikers being able to do them properly? This is why I get fed up easily by biased fans making claims without knowing what they’re talking about
Yes Peter - Beckham a world class striker, and you say you don’t talk sh*t
Miles I did not post that. People have seemingly taken a fancy to posting under my name.
I think the boxart could have been better if they had used a pcture of Kaka
Boxart Looks good, but they could have put the best player in the world (steven gerrard) on the cover instead of micheal owen(even though owen is a legend).
so youve been playing it since the original iss on psone????? thats pretty funny because the iss series has been running since at least the super nintendo with international superstar soccer deluxe. and theres a player in a club shirt and a player in a national shirt because newcastle appear on the game fully liscensed and manchester united dont, what about pro 3 where Pierluigi Collina was on the cover but wasnt even selectable as a ref???
pes 2008 will be awesome.
nuff said
Exactly Carlos… If I wanted to say I had been playing ISS since the very beginning I would not have said ‘ISS on the PSone’.
well then in that case im more qualified than you because ive been playing it since the snes?
Feel free to post your comments. I was just pointing out that I hadn’t stated I had been playing since the original ISS, but the ISS on PSone
and what iss on psone is that because you have said the original iss on psone?
Amazing Boxart so go and FUCK YOURSELFS!
