The Official Pro Evo 2008 Updates & New Pics Thread

Nice article there. Loving the idea of running onto a volley and smacking it. As for the dive feature, i cant WAIT to try that out!

More in:

The editing system has been given a complete overhaul allowing you to edit liscensed as well as custom kits

 

[Hunter]

That's cracking news to be honest, as it will certainly pro-long the PES experience. It wasn't really annoying playing with an old(ish) kit, but now being able to update it is quite good news. There wouldn't be much point of editing licensed kits I wouldn't think though, unless you want to replace an Away kit with the clubs Third kit or something. Or maybe add a sponsor e.g. Sevilla = 888.com.

 

[john4]

be good if they had some pre determined sponsors or made up ones,could have adidas or konami or evian?like they already have then make up some random ones at the end of a season negotiate new sponsors in ML,then edit an official kit to add the new sponsor,would be a nice idea.

 

[Diao]

Hopefully it doesn't delete the sponser or anything when you edit it, so you can change the kit design or something while leave everything else the same

 

[haka09]

when can we see a video? i'm getting desperate to see some video!!

 

[zeemeister]

How reliable is this news. I am certain that there are laws when having official team licences.

[nikos24]

I just want the game to come out ASAP, PES6 is getting old.

 

[MikeyM24]

Didnt they have diving in This Is Football.....if you timed it wrong you got booked, usually goalies get away with dives easier aswell

Yes they did, but it was way too theatrical. Still you got busted if you were caught by the Ref.

BTW That screenshot of the stadium on page one?

I reckon it's the Santiago Bernabeau.

The bernabeau was in PES6 weren't it???

I would love it if Konami put in the Emirates and Arsenal are still licensed.

Anyway, I've got a maxdrive so if they're not, it's no big deal cos I can get an option file with all the proper kits on.

 

[Psimonius]

I would be very surprised if the Emirates was in the game. As I've mentioned before, it's far too generic a stadium to be in the game and Arsenal are nothing special any more. You might as well say Eastlands should be in there because that's a new stadium too. Now Wembley on the other hand...that would be a great addition.

 

[shankly is god]

yer defos mate wembley should be, i think all major national teams should have their stadia in the game.

even tho this stadium aint out till 2010 i still think they should put it in lol

now that would be awsome

 

[Hunter]

Would be silly to put in the new Anfield like, especially when it's 3 years (at least) from being finished, and the plans of the design still may change. However the current Anfield should definetely be in the game, as should Old Trafford, Wembley, Stamford Bridge, fuck it, all Premier League clubs should have their stadium in the game to be honest. There's not reason no to, they've been working on this game since the Xbox 360 was pretty much released.

 

[john4]

new anfield plan does look pretty good tho,they could always put it in as another teams stadium and keep anfield as liverpools,just call the new 1 something like new athletics stadia or summat dodgy like that and dont have any signs of liverpool around. id just like it to be in coz it looks quality

 

[Hunter]

The fact the plans have just leaked, and it takes a while I assume to build a stadium and it just wouldn't be right. Imagine if they had Wembley on PES4 and called it "The Olympiakos Stadium", not quite the same is it, doubt the FA would be pleased either.

 

[shankly is god]

yer thats true, but i think like packs should be able to be downloaded to your HDD instead of using disk space which could be used on graphics n other stuff but more balls, stadia, players etc should use HDD memory not disk i think anyway

 

[Hunter]

Yeah but I'm sure we'd be up in arms if we had to download everything as we know the only thing that would be free is those ridiculous penguin costumes. I can't see Konami even considering building the new Anfield until well, it's built. It would be a bit of a waste of time, as I'm sure they've got other and more important things to develop.

Something must be happening with the Master League too, Konami haven't leaked anything about it, something must be changing dramatically I think. I hope.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
"A paradise for cheaters"

Lack of sportsmanship as a feature in the football-simulation Pro Evolution Soccer was believed to be impossible for a long time, but now in the version PES 2008 it has come: the players may cheat with consent of the developers. Because if you press 3 of the 4 shoulder-buttons of your gamepad, the kicker lets himself fall to the ground. If you do it cleverly, you get a free kick or a penalty. If you are less gifted with your finger-skills, the ref shows you a yellow card. A festival for cheaters! Allegedly it is only coincidence, that Cristiano "dive-king" Ronaldo will decorate the cover of PES 2008.

You may ask, where have we got these info from? Two weeks ago we visited the sales department of Konami in Frankfurt and convinced ourselves for hours of the quality of the Japanese title using the PC Version. Our impression: fantastic! Especially neat: you don't need to be afraid of eye-cancer any more, for the PC-version is based on the high-definition visuals of the consoles. In plain language: finally a decently high grade of detail, flapping shirts, grass-leaves and even emotions on the kicker's faces. The playability is first class as always, the master league-mode has been pimped by the makers and a new playing-mode, in which you control one single player and accompany him during his career adds more variety. We are enraptured!
