hopefully tomorrow im chomping at the bit for more news.
thinking about it and looking at the mo-cap sessions done in barcelona it looks like pes2010 will be using the euphoria engine and that the 50% build was just a smoke screen to disguise and play down anticipation for pes2010 so konami can steal eas thunder near launch.
if so it will be great news for us the fans as all the rumour of the last couple of years in realtion to konami building a new game will be true,plus they will easily be able to map over alot of the work already done in pes08-09 so the game will feel very complete.
I hope so for all the fans sake, and Konami because lots of fans will leave to Fifa unfortuantly, but not me however, I will always buy PES because for me its better altogether and easier to get into, but for some reason I cant get into Fifa games just seems to... I dont know how to explain it, boring, the goals all look the same and all you have to do it hold the left trigger and hey presto its a goal, and then next shot its the same.
I'm not on about how the ball reacts, I'm only on about movement of the player and how AS3 allowed your player from running at a 90º angle, to running a 75º angle when you move the analogue stick towards 75º and not at 45º like 8 way movement would.
I'm not saying that AS3 is in any way comparable to FIFA10's way of doing 360º, all I'm saying that AS3 allowed you to move your player at any angle instead of the 8 way directions used in every PES and FIFA that have been released so far. What the game did with ball physics and how players moved with the ball is very crude compared to today's games.
The real question is, if AS3 had this more than a decade ago, why has it taken EA and KONAMI more than 10 years to come up with 360º movement? Surely they could have had 360º sorted by FIFA 2002 or PES3?
Because you can't do it with the D Pad. You could with those more simplistic dribbling systems like AS3 and Perfect Striker, but with a proper 360 dribble you need analog or it is impossible. Think about it.
So... Why they haven't switched to all analog??? Well, for one, I've been on the various PES/We forums for years, and I can tell you that it's not something that people have been complaining about much, if at all, in the past 4-5 years. We've had bigger problems and wishes. Fifa didn't switch either, so the consensus of the importance of this was about the same for both companies until now, it seems.

pes09 is still a great game that is superior to fifa09 despite its auto tackling,poor collision detection and limited 8-axis control.
After 9 months of playing pes09 i personally think its the best pes in the series as its more measued and realistic you just have to make the transition from the more forgiving ps2 versions that to be fare where a little on the arcadie side and a bit unrealistic despite having pretty descent gameplay.
Better annimation and more refinement plus more stable ai would certainly make PES2010 a better game then PES09 but i think konami have got something bigger and better and a step up from what we have had for the last ten years...like i have said previously pes is one of the few games today in 3d that uses 8-axis movement and this backwards 2d restrictive system has to be put to bed.
P.S Before people reply to my comment by saying that pes09 has unrealistic 90 degree turns with no loss of pace and the ability to skin a whole team with one player i know this its just the finer details in pes09 like the better ball physics and the flight of the ball and the way you can defend better and retain possession setting up camp in the opposition half just ploughing on the pressure or the better improved long pass and the ability to build more and have more of a end product from your build up play or open your body up on shots.Things like the poor goalkeeping and over egged momentum shift are minor flaws that dont detract to much from what is fundamentally a fairly solid game.
This might upset some people but i feel pes5 and 6 are overated and full of flaws that people gloss over and easily forget.
Currently more people now use the left analog stick and the genre needs to move forward alot of the problems you talk about are generated by the limited control of 8-axis and the cpu compensating for these restrictions in passing and shooting,this is why heading in football games is so poor as well as the ability to spot a cross from extreme angles manually or have better placement accuracy.
Its all going to change this year though my friend your see in the next ten days,the d-pad went out of fashion when games went 3d and this year will see its retirement.
Pes 09 is FULL of flaw not 5 and 6. Play them again and see the difference when compared to real football.
Pes 5 and 6 were even better than fifa 09 in some cases and considering that they were released in 2005-2006, they deserve more praise.
So now, if you want to compare pes 5 or 6 vs pes 09 I have no problem listing the bad things from both games.
I personally feel that pes 5 had the best balance. Not arcade like in pes 09, but a proper balance between attacking and defending.
BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH PES 09 WAS THAT IT WAS TOO AI CONTROLLED. NO PLAYER SKILL IS INVOLVED. Or at least surley not as much as in pes 5. Hey I know what I am saying. I am not one of those who loves to slate pes 09. I don't hate it. It has some really good things like shooting and responsivness but still in the end as a whole game, pes 5 especially wins it easy because it was a more simulation of football.
Looking at the Perfect Striker 3 video, what ever happened to KCEO and KCET?
Did they merge?
I was always on the KCET side of things being a Pro fan, of course.
i remember the headers looked a lot better back in the days of oven (owen) and betty (batty) in iss98. they kind of had a pencil jump but who ever was at the back looked to get the lean over their opponents. that was the first iss i ever played and still stands the test of time, quite similar to that striker 3 you all refer to by the looks of it
