Just got back from the PES 6 showcase in Oxford Street HMV...
It was actually quite good I thought. They had about 4-5 booths running next gen PES on the demo machines. You could pick any teams in the game which I thought was great and there was an edit mode. The Bundesliga is defo not included though however as I saw nothing except Bayern.
I am a PS2 player and I was abit disappointed that there were no PS2 demos as that is what I wanted to see the most. But saying that I was quite impressed by the next gen graphics and the presentation of the whole event. There was a main game area right at the back of the store that had a LARGE screen showing the FMV of the game and a load of flat screen samsung monitors. Nice...
They were providing tournament style competitions here with prizes (I bagged a football and 2 t-shirts; quite chuffed really!) I got knocked out in the semis but had fun still. The winners got some cool hoodies though which was a good look... No 360s up for grabs though! Bobby Zamora made an appearance and played a few people too... Great for me as i'm a hammers fan! :w00t
I had the opportunity to browse through the edit mode and the stats looked to me as being JUST like WE11. Danielle DeRossi looked like a great mid-fielder with improved stats and great ability stars (or ticks in X-box stylee), which was the case for all the Italians aka my man Pirlo...
To sum up the event it was great really. The turn out was quite low because of the weather but at least it meant that only true devotees made the trip. I wish Konami did more of these kind of events. They allow meetings with like-minded PES heads and promote the game. Any questions just ask...:happy:
Good one Konami and HMV!
