Hello. First of all apologies to the people that felt upset with my post about Bigfoot, UFOs and pes test. I was trying to say, in a funny way, that you need evidence when posting something as exciting as a Pes test. Sure, Konami wants to do the big announcement at Leipzig, but at least these guys testing PES 2009 before time can say something like "game looks good", or "PES 2009 is different than PES 2009, feels like the old PES!"
THAT IS EXCACTLY WHAT PESFANS DID!!!
That is why I feel so excited about their first impressions!!! The game feels "like the old pes"
Everybody, let's rejoice, let's cheer up, our passion for soccer video games has reborn!!!
So far, THIS IS THE ONLY SITE that has posted their first impressions of PES 2009! This is as official as it gets!!! If anybody knows about the first impressions of PES 2009, please let us know!!!
"As you will know, TheBoss was invited by Konami to travel to their headquarters yesterday for an exclusive playtest of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. As TheBoss had to sign NDAs before playing the game, we can't say what new game modes are in the game and things like that (yet), but we can tell you some little bits before next Wednesday when everything will go crazy in PES world.
The version played was 10 days old and the game is roughly 70% complete, so it's at a similar development stage as this time last year. The demo that will be on show at Leipzig will be from a different build of the game but it shouldn't differ drastically from this version apart from features removed for public display (licensing issues etc).
TheBoss played PES 09 on the PS3, which shows Konami were confident enough to show it off on the console that received the most amount of criticism last year for it's slowdown and jerky framerate. No mention of any slowdown this time around.
So, you want to know his initial impressions?
Impressed.
It felt like Konami have forgotten about the last few efforts and gone back to making a good football game. Even at 70% complete it's showing many improvements over the last version of the game.
And online mode wasn't tested before anybody asks about lag
