Hands on reviews [coming soon]

[Kevthedrummer]

Just been on Twitter and saw that PSM3 Are typing their "thoughts" having played the game, which probably means that WENB have played it and we'll be hearing something later on.

"PES 2010: played. Typing up thoughts today. It's going to be interesting to see what people think…"

Hmmm Now is it me or does that have a slightly negative slur?

We should use this thread to discuss any hands on reviews that crop up. When they are posted online, lets post them here and discuss.

You're right, that sounds extremely like disappointment.

 

[Kevthedrummer]

Thinking about it, I imagine we wont hear anything about these play tests until PSM3 Mag is released, perhaps they have exclusivity. But if they have signed NDA's - the post seems fairly neutral from that point of view.

It does sound more negative than anything else. If they were blown away by the game I reckon it would be more something like:

""PES 2010: played. Typing up thoughts today. Can't wait to tell people what we thought..."

or something like that. I'm DEFINITELY going to buy fifa this year, just like last year. Last year I bought PES09 as well, like every year I get both, it's up to Seabass and gameplay movies to convince me in getting pes10, otherwise it's just fifa for me this year.

^Gameplay movies aren't really enough to convince you to not buy the game. You ned to try it to decide. Although gameplay movies do influence.
Anyway, we still must wait and see. At least for some gameplay movies.

wenb have had their playtest, not much info except the following:

OK guys just finished playing the game.

Embargo, like the FIFA 10 one, ends July 15th. So certainly PSM3 will be vital.

I can't say too much, but what I will say is this, me and Suff are happy

Won't be back until midnight, catch you then!

Worst feed back ever.

Is there any date set yet on the release of the demo?

 

[zizou4ever]

Well, at least those comments look very positive.

 

[iamcanadianeh]

^Yeah, but keep in mind that they were very positive last year too.

Of course, I still like PES 09, so I'm not complaining.

 

[shaun7]

Looks positive to say the least.

 

[CryingGallas]

Yeh, when will the demo be released, and the fact that they have played it, dopes it mean that they have finished the game?

 

[Persona]

So what if experts give positive/negative reviews? It doesn't necessarily suit your taste. I remember IGN giving PES 08 a 9.2 and saying it was a better game than FIFA but as we all know, it wasn't the game that we craved for.

I'm not going to take anything for granted and be judgemental but instead, try the game for myself, then only can I give a proper verdict.

 

[shaun7]

^Excactly, but the people who played it at WENB were pleased so it must mean something positive to begin with.

Well, I want to read some full hand-on reviews before I can be fully convinced but, I can only hope it's great. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, not one of us is going to believe any previews or reviews, since the last two years we all thought the game would be awesome just to be bitterly dissapointed. Even the gameplay footage last year had me convinced. Eveything depends on the demo...and DON"T EVEN START WITH THE "IT"S NOT THE FINAL BUILD CRAP"...last year everybody said it too, just to see that the differences between the demo and final build were minimal.

That's not how I remember it last year. If anyone said that they weren't properly informed because it was common knowldge that the demo was pretty damn close to the final build. Fifa's demo however was much different from the final version. Personally I don't put a lot of faith in anything until I've played the real game for myself, but you see and hear these things which can't be ignored.

For example, the facts so far are:

- They are making a bigger effort this year, including more staff.
- Lots of important but small changes, like CL in ML, etc.
- Game looks great visually from what we've seen so far.
- Online is apparently fixed, or if not it seems clear that they understand that it needs to be.


So... Lots of positives, but I agree in that until we see the final game all these improvements could just be icing on the cake, and add up to nothing if the gameplay's no good.

 

[shaun7]

^AGREED. I am also seeing that Konami are making more effort for the game this year. It's a good thing.

1) Putting CL in ML is not a major change, thats just common sense and it would prolly take konami about 3 secs to implement that, so that doest count as a big change for a game thats supposedly be in the making for years

2) Graphics: Seriously now, were you lot playing fifa years ago, the graphics were better than pro.....oh yeah but the gameplay was shite, take note, graphics, dont, mean, jack, shit, gameplay does.

3) If they fixed online they will satisfy alot of people, thats a proper change.

To sum up, I do not consider these to be great changes, AI, Player animations, Player movement, those are the real changes that will matter.
