My source is very reliable and actually works in Chiswick for Konami. With all the hype f MGS Konami have decided to actually take some time and work towards a better PES. Kind of like how GTA worked.
Konami appreciate that the last edition was lacklustre and they are hoping with big time and big effort they can recapture the hype and brilliance of old.
Well, that's good news in my opinion.. I think they can manage to release a decent Football game for next year. I mean, if they have to basically re-invent PES, they definitely need more than one year.
And of course, it's also nice to know that Konami is willing to take more time in order to release a good game -rather- than just throwing another brick.
By the way, I've been hearing in different sites that Konami 2009 will use the same engine of PES 2008. Do you know if this is true?? Any reliable source?
