Well the first Demos they played they hated but they was because they were early builds of the game. They were then lucky enough to play a BETA of the game and pretty much said it was amazing.
One guy mentions it being more impressive on the PS3 then the 360 especially the control and feel of the game. Another guy mentioned this could be the game that makes him buy a PS3.
All in all the game did impress them in the end. There is still room for improvement though.
Main points:
- Konami showed an an early demo on the show floor different to the versions played by the press who voted PES2008 the PS3 Game at Leipzig, hence they take back their initially impressions damning the game.
- PS3 version is the leading SKU (hence mabe why the PS3 version they played seems better at this stage than the 360 as noted above)
- PES 2008 beta they played in the press area shits allover PES6 on xbox360. Better animations, gameplay and graphics. Pretty much ignore the demos they showed on the gamefloor.
- FIFA just a touch a bit better than last year. Good graphics. Has better shooting than last year, less scripted and better more manual passing. xbox 360 and PS3 version the same. Still the same game last year though pretty much. If you aint like FIFA 07 you aint gonna like FIFA 08.
I personally went to Leipzig and was disappointed with what i saw there. I seriously cant wat for this game now after listening to their podcast. I cant beleive Konami decided to show a different substandard build of the game on the show floor rather than the more complete version played by the press.
