We have to keep in mind that programmers always talk shit to hype their games. If this interview turned to be right, and many people say it is from a earlier code then even so it's still not good enough. "overhaul"..That could mean anything. one thing is clear now pes 2008 wasn't finished. So this means they had 2 years to create a game we all would love even people who never played a football game. this may come as a shock for you but i haven't played (allot) any of the ps2 PES games, basically because I demand allot. i have played them but i was not a fan. And never was a fan of FIFA. What i am trying to say is that the PS3 is so powerful you can do almost anything you want. And i mean anything. My brother has shown me stuff on how powerful this machine is. What we see now day's is maybe 60% of what the machine is capable of. Now i know programming on the ps3 is difficult, but with all the money they are making from us they should get at least 2 Sony guy's and more programmers. that's all I am asking.
it seems like we can give you the best but each year you have to buy the upgrade cause we wanna make money out of it.
Well, in my opinion FIFA is NOT even about Football, it fails miserably to interpretate Football as it should be.
Although, FIFA 2009 could be something new from EA..
And as for PES, I was a fan of the PS2 versions -however- after playing the same game for 5 YEARS now, I'm just bored of it. That said, I'm very demanding with Football games because I think they have HUGE Potential (as PES5 shows) -but- companies haven't come close to that potential because they keep releasing touched-up-profitable versions.
And with the PS3 I'm even more demanding because the Console is easily capable of producing a game (at the very least) twice as good. I think what we are seeing nowadays, at least in Football Sims, is like 50% of what Next Gen Consoles (PS3, 360) are capable of.
And again, How could anyone justify that the PS2 versions of PES where better than the PS3 versions of PES08??
Honestly, I'm still asking myself; for How Long can Konami keep this going?? It seems PES09 will be what "PES08 should have been" -in- other words, a polished version of PES08 -with- the same Set of Stats and Special Abilities, with the same Controls, Same Gameplay.. it's the same Old game with better Graphics.
Is that the best Konami can manage after 2 YEARS??
