Hey people, i borrowed my friends xbox live vision camera so i could test out the new features in the edit mode. Here's a run down of how it all works, what options are there and my opinion on the whole thing.



This is the first screen you see when you select Scan. You can press (Y) to flip the camera so it moves the same direction as you. Your picture appears on the instantly on the right(thats me :D) when you press (X) and you can do this as many times as you want unitll your happy.


The next screen is where you can edit the picture and adjust it to your liking. You can reposition the photo with the left stick, zoom in and out with the right and rotate it with the left and right trigger buttons. Pressing (X) lets you adjust the colours and (Y) lets you change things like chin size, nose and mouth depth and head lenght.


Once your all done, your image is stored in one of the 9 slots for scaned faces, then your in the game!\\:o/



Now for the kit scanning.


Same initial screen as the faces, line up the kit you want to take a shot of then press (X)
NB: In the screen above i took a shot of the united badge only as i thought you could only use the scan for badges, its actually the front of the kit as you will see in the next screen below.


Same options as before with the repositioning of the photo with the anolog sticks and the trigger buttons. This is a screen of the colour adjust which you enter by pressing the (X) button.


Pressing (Y) on the edit screen for kits takes you to this screen which lets you choose from 6 "frames" to wrap around your photo(all of which are useless) giving it a shape or pattern.


Once your done adding a heart to your kit :lol: you can save the photo to one of the 9 places availible just like the faces. You can also take off the default emblems to make it look just a wee bit more authentic. Now your (sort of)licenced kit is ready to go!


Now personally while the feature is nice to have, the quality of the photos hardly makes it worth it. Fair enough the faces aint to bad, i only would put myself in for a laugh anyway but the kit editing is a joke. Not only is the quality rubbish, the templates they give you are a just laughable and there is no option or way of editing the back of the kits, so you'd have a decent-ish looking front...and default back kits.

Anyway, i hope this has cleared up any confusion or questions people had about the scanning features, if theres anything i've miss out that you want to ask, feel free to do so.
 
Thanks very much for taking time to do this. :applause:

But lets be blunt its dosnt look great at all im just absolute gutted there no option for photos. :(

Just hope there tools to hack the gamesave file now so modders can get this sorted then will be X-Sata job. :)
 
NINE ?!??!? Nine, miserable, poxy sodding imported faces ?

NINE. FFS, that's pathetic. I mean, I can put up with them not being arsed to give you a decent choice of boots - just - I can put up with not being able to add 3 stripes to the sleeves, or recreate anything resembling an umbro kit (by the looks of it) - just - and I can even put up with the framerate being questionable, and us only having 9 sets of shirts to choose from, due to the kit-scan option... just about...

...but nine, miserable, sodding, pathetic scanned faces. You can't even put an entire team of your mates into the game ? Konami, that is absolutely fvcking shocking and you should be ashamed for your lazy, half arsed, "it'll be good next year now we think we're EA"ness.

Screw them.
 
Hang on... did I just read that right ? it's not even 9 scanned images for faces, it's nine IN TOTAL for shirts AND faces ? Or is it nine for faces and nine for shirts ?

I need to know, I may be on the brink of saving myself £40 (not that I haven't already wasted it on a 360 Memory Unit and Xsata though, FFS...).

Suppose I might be able to do something generic like in the PS2 version of PES6, but if this is next-gen Seabass and his excuses can jump off a bridge.
 
PS mr_sparxx, you may not have been the bearer of good news, but thanks nevertheless for taking the time to let us know and post your pics.

I suspect the size of the "us" group is getting smaller by the day.
 
Guys, if the editing is this bad I really do think I'll be buying Fifa this year. Traditionally, when I get my copy of a new pro evo, I spend a few days changing all the Premiership team names, kits, logos from scratch until I have something that looks like the real thing. And you're telling me that, even with all the memory on my xbox hard drive, I can only save nine pics! If I cannot edit kits how I want to then, well, f*ck Konami!
 
hi guys, i have played pes 2008 on the 360 and i have to say the edit system is poor! Yes you can scan a picture of a face, logo or badge but due to the low pixel quality of the xbox live vision camera the outcome is very poor. There is only 9 slots to do either faces, logos or badges so whats the point!
There is also no PES shop so no more slots, boots, hair styles to unlock.
Only 15 stadiums too and as far as i can see, no English ones!
You can edit a face thats not been done by Konami eg Gareth Barry/Aston Villa. You can tweak face shape, nose shape, hair etc so thats not too bad.
Also noticed in Transfers you have to put one player in to take one player out! IE Yakubu is still at Middlesbrough so to put him at Everton you have to take an Everton player and swap Yakubu at Middlesbrough! How crap is that.
Only 9 boots to pick from too!!
Its not all bad, gameplay is good apart from slowdown and there are more teams in the "others section" like spartak moscow, fenerbahce etc which are already edited.
More licensed National teams like Ivory Coast, Croatia etc.
There is also 18 spaces to create teams too as there is no German Bindesliga only Bayern Munich in the "others section"
Really disappointing shirt edit mode with a mere 9 shirt variations to pick from
Can see why more people are leaning towards FIFA but gameplay on PES is still good.
I have heard on Usenext that someone is tinkering with the game and it may be possible to have proper kits etc......lets hope this is true.
And no you cant import faces, logos, badges via a USB memory stick....you have to use the xbox 360 camera.
Maybe next year eh????

This may not be the case. Someone has added over 20 to the PS3 version, so it maybe that you get 9 slots shown, and additional pages added as you creat more....

I hope to god you're right. What's the point in having just 9? You couldn't make a full team of faces! You couldn't make a whole league of teams. I'm very concerned by all this...
 
Ok... Have som bad news... Just buyed a Xbox live Cam and tested this new feature...

First the good:

U can import more then 9 faces.... it's just page 1/1.
When u create a 10th, he's going to page 2/2 and so on.

BUT:

I'm only able to import 8 foto's for kits.
I erased all of the demo's on my HDD so it won't be because of low disk space.
Tried again and again and again....still this message appears:

" CANNOT IMPORT ANY MOR PHOTOS "

KONAMI are RETARTED!!!! I mean, what can we do with all those faces.... the only thing we really need are correct kits!!!!
Screw them... Definitly dissapointed with the overall game...
 
Well, more than 9 faces is some welcome news, but that still leaves 18 unlicensed teams in the Prem and only 9 kits you could even possibly add.

Due to the lack of transparency (you obviously can't import transparency using the XBLV Cam, it will "colour" even transparent things) you can't create multi-use templates either, so there's no chance even of making the World Cup style adidas T&T kit template, as also used by Slovakia, Derby away etc. It's just rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrubbish.

Just to clarify, are there separate "save" lists for faces and kit-fronts and has anyone reached a upper limit on faces yet ?

If we can get 30+ faces in the game it's at least got "Saints Internet Football Club" Option File potential like PES6 on PS2 had. :-D
 
Another question - can you apply a saved Live Cam scan of a kit to more than one shirt ? We might be able to get away with scanning white versions of some of the more common kit styles if there are training top variants and then editing the colour balance to match...

...listen to me scramble for reasons to do this, you bastards Konami... :-s

Also, that transfer thing is extreme suckiness, it's like they've gone "you know what, we got away with dripping new features into PES1-6 for 5 years, let's see how many things we can leave out of 2008 and gradually drop back in until 2013... those idiots will still buy it".

Hmmm, so what if once you've imported your 8 kits and assigned them to teams, is it not so that this is then saved into your option file? Hence, in theory, you can then delete the 8 kits and start again? Just an idea?

Good question, nice thinking ! We need a designated tester for this kind of thing.

Also, can someone use a crayon to draw some stripes onto the boots on their screen ? :-D
 
I think the qualiy could be improved by printing out a sort of template of the front of a kit done in Photoshop, then taking a picture of that. But 9 slots for kits is a disgrace.

I've just tried and tested this... and sadly enough it won't work. Good idea anyhow...

Yup, what I don't get (and this is NOT aimed at Beatts, some of his stuff looks really good) is why WENB keeps plugging the poor Arsenal kit in the PC Action screenshots without just showing a half-assed version just to prove you can make a better one just using one of the "different colour sleeve" templates, ffs !

I just don't get why PCAction would want to use RUBBISH examples of what you can do in the edit mode (which seems to be at its best in the PC version) when they're trying to plug their site and presumably show the best features in the game.

Thing is mate PC action are seperate and did that off their own backs. Indeed it isn't even my arsenal kit.

Once I get the game I will try to add some of my kits, but only 8 kits is crazy konami fucked it up real good this year.

Oh yeah, I know it's not you ! I just can't imagine why they've want to do it so poorly. Actually, when it comes down to it I can't see why some people use the edit mode at all if they don't bother with the detail, but that's just me, I'm a bit Rainman/OCD/Asberger's about things like that...

Just thought, I know we don't have logo editing, etc, but do we still have a place to put advert text on shirts independently of the import feature as before, or have Konami put the limited import thing in instead of that ?

I'm guessing it's a replacement to the old "stretch and skew" fonts, which really sucks, because it guarantees 10 Prem teams will be sponsorless with crappy logos and no manufacturer logo (unless the user decises just to import manufacturer logos and apply them to multiple kits).

At least they've got a decent selection of Name and Number fonts this year - 12 of each of those is pretty good going, the sort of choice and detail I'd expect from a Next-Gen editor.
