My Mini Review On the PC DEMO PES08

Okay So i was really hyped for FIfa 08 and PES 08 but after dling and playing the pes demo for about a good hard hour..by the way i dled the fifa demo aswell and only played the fifa demo for like 10 mins lol... anyway heres my mini review =P

Sounds- Players actually talk at moments you"ll hear them speak in english...
- New ball sounds when you really hit the ball you can hear the difference from the sound of a normal pass, goalie saves also can be heard.

VISUALS- Player graphics look awesome even though i played on the medium quality the players looked AMAZING.
- But the grass to me could have been better =\
- The REFEERES accutly hold there hands up and you can see them blow there whistles and stuff =D
- Also new camera view for when you are defending a penalty. The veiw is like a third person from behind the goalie i guess its to help you see the other teams players foot.

GAMEPLAY- Passing is alot better faster.. when you switch sides the ball actually goes and is not lazy.
-Shooting.. no more shots that go over everytime.. you actually have to get the BAR higher to get the ball higher.
-More contorol on the freekicks
-SPEED IS KILLER the defenders don't have the bias atribute of being able to keep up with you even if there pace was lower... Now you can easly blow by a slower defender.
-Higher skilled players have better movement for example with Ronaldinho i could be going full speed and be able to turn easily as if i wasnt running full speed.
-NEW MOVES you can actually do some pretty kool moves with out even using the move stick ;)

blalbalbla thats about it but this game is gona blow the ruff off but im still intrested to see how it plays in the FIXED mod with the player camera.. and i still wana try the be a pro in fifa but thats the only reason i wana buy fifa lol not for normal gameplay but just for that mode.

CHEERS

The positives definitely outweigh the negatives in your review, which is nice. I'm particularly glad to read that they've sorted that annoying thing out with defenders being able to somehow always match you for speed, that really spoiled PES6 imo. I don't know whether to buy the PS2 version or wait and buy the PS3 version when I buy a PS3 EVENTUALLY. I'm reluctant to pay for a PS3 at the prices they're going for at the moment, fooking disgraceful price for a games console if you ask me.

it is easy to beat defenders with people you would think,ronaldinho and c ronaldo can easily weeve in and out of defenders,good defenders can get a foot in tho but against weaker opponents its fairly easy.

I just played the demo for an hour.

With VSync (an option using the seperate SETTINGS applet) set ON it plays ridiculously (comedically) fast.

With it OFF it plays like theyre running in treacle.

My guess is that the problems arise from it being a XBOX360 port.

This better not be how the final version plays !


edit...

The speed varies depending on the monitors current refresh rate.
If I force it to 60 hertz then the games runs at what I'm guessing is the normal tempo.

However, I have my trusty old CRT running at a lovely comfortable 120 Hertz and the game is running at double speed !

It's ridiculous and they'd better bloody fix it before it goes gold.

I also played on medium specs and was wondering if anyone out there with a good graphics card could tell me how much better the grass and graphics in general look with settings on high.
