PES 2008 > the Pros and Cons

[copa_mundial]

I can barely hear them, maybe I need to turn the other settings down a bit.

Is it me or has the commentry always been quiet? Brooking always used to say things that i could never hear, it's literally been happening for years and konami didn't fix it.....either that or my hearing is on it's way out hmy:

The gameplay is poor - responsiveness of players is very poor, even those with immense skill. The slowdowns in frame rate occur regularly - both in normal play and in cut scenes - rendering the game incredibly annoying to play. Editing is extremely poor - I don't care about boots, but kits, stadiums and PES Shop special features are all either extremely limited or non-existent.

I could easily, and I mean easily, write a detailed explanation of why this game is terrible, but quite frankly, it's already wasted several hours of my life today and doesn't deserve anything else from me.

If you have a PS3, do not buy this game. Either buy it on another system (assuming they aren't just as bad) or just curl up in a ball and cry for 12 months as I plan to. Call this an overreaction, but I really feel that Konami should be ashamed of themselves.

I felt the same way for the first PES on 360. Its just terrible.

Nah it's got a few glaring faults but I'm enjoying it.
The gameplay is great Messi is a menace as well as Kaka. I cant beat Brazil that mothafuckin Adriano keeps coming on and putting 2 goals away against me.

I'm glad I only got it for £30... If I'd paid £50 I'd get rid.

There is simply no excuse for konami. They shouldn't have released this game. They must have known this was going to happen!

At least they're working on a patch though. But when that will come... Who knows. For us PS3 owners it's just let down after let down. I'm still going to play this game, I still have an urge to play it despite the slowdown... I just can't understand what konami were thinking this time.

 

[Sully]

Don't get your hopes built up too much over a patch. Us sexbox users where waiting forever hoping we would get one

 

[mondh75]

patch my arse!!! load of balls get it right in first place and they wunt need one idiots

 

[The Messiah]

If we do enough moaning I can see it happening.

Yes but come on, this is the next generation! Xbox 360 got a shiny port last year. Half of their market (the ps3 guys) have a right to get their money back. Konami will certainly not want that to happen. They need to release a patch soon as. This will be crippling their business and already affecting future releases for them.

How many people today will have put PES in their PS3 and gone... I'm taking this back to the shop and getting FIFA.... I think a fair few.

Think about the positives dude. Atleast Martin Cranie is in it

His curve is as bad as the frame rate. And Park Chu Young is nowhere to be found either. It's as if Konami are trying to drive me away!

Positives consist of better graphics and... well that's all I've really noticed so far.

My computer surpasses the requirements, but the game still slows down sometimes.

Hey, I have a PC too. I thought slowdown was a console issue. Did you have the same problems with the demo? The demo works perfectly on my rig, and I wouldn't want to be disappointed by the full game in this respect. I'd rather you told me first!

Also, is the lag for the PC version better, worse or the same as the console versions? I ask this because a previewer somewhere said that the PC had fewer online gaming problems.
