New Commentators for PES 2008?

[hitmanuk2k]

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'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 WENB team for the news.

I hope there will be new commentators. Let this be true.

EDIT: What I meant was not to always be repetitive.

For graphics and game-play, I like PES, but for commentary I like FIFA. So I hope they have longer scripts for different things you do on the game. Can't wait until the release.

i dont really care who does the commentry
all i care about is like hitmanuk2k for the scripts to be better, and not messed up

 

[Sweey]

Jon Champion and the abysmal Mark Lawrenson could be worse. The previous(?) duo just needed decent scripting and application of the commentary to gameplay.

 

[redsfan]

if the scripts are right than the commentry will be right

 

[mufcsean]

Zoo said it was way better than the previous commentators, i sont think it could of got any worse, Champion has a wonderful commentary voice and Lawrenson is quite funny at times, if the script is written well it should be quite good

 

[Rossy Boy]

please let it be true as recently i put the fifa patch on my game and every so ofter i hear the proper pro evo commentators and they just seem dull

 

[Foxhound]

Please let it be true. I also hope that they fix the bug - when you're leading & you change your striker for a striker, the commentator always says that you're going defensive.

It's really annoying

 

[mufcsean]

I dont have the commentary on anymore it pissed me off that bad, i just have my own music on instead

 

[Cannon ball]

Let this be untrue, I'd prefer Peter Brackley and Trevor Brooking then that fool Champion and Mark "Thatched roof style haircut" Lawrenson.

 

[Haribo]

It's about time they had a change in commentators. Brooking hasn't been a commentary pundit for 5 or 6 years, and I haven't heard Brackley in a long time either.

 

[BarnDoor]

Should have been Tyler. Does he do Fifa, or is that Motty?

 

[Calzone]

Motty. :unsure:

I hope it is true also.

 

[Dragonfly]

Mark Lawrenson is a legend as far as I'm concerned. He's one of the funniest commentators.

 

[Jesus]

I just hope they change the commentators and write the scripts correctly.
Trevor and Peter piss me off all the time, I'd rather listen Umbrella, ella, ella... than their blabbering!

 

[Dragonfly]

Actua Soccer 2 had the best commentary ever, with Barry Davies. He hardly repeated himself, which was excellent and very unique in a video game.

 

[greenegg]

Barry Davies ftw.

Jon Champion is a cunt where as Lawro is OK. Trevor Brooking is quality and his rambling makes me laugh. In truth I rarely listen to it anymore I have music on.

 

[AgentZero]

I think we should applaud the work Brooking and Brackley has done over the years. We might not like it but they put in the hours to help with this game.

Thank You.
