PES 2018 PlayStation & Xbox Discussion Thread

fregen
Sometimes we can better evaluate the game on video (4K 60fps), because the playtesters can overflow the first emotions. We do not say that this happens to everyone. But we do not exclude this. In addition, we begin to look at the game a little differently after 2-3 months from the release date. Because the first strong emotional impression also leaves us. This is our opinion, and we are entitled to it. Because the game goes out not the first year.

Not sure why u are telling me this but sure, I guess thats right.

I enjoyed PES 2017, much because I don't have the time to overanalyze everything. The game had it's flaws. But with manual passing, shooting etc it was ok. I would be happy with passing being between PA1 and manual, stable online, and MUCH individuality in players and teams for 2018.

I'm gonna stop hanging around here as soon as the beta drops, other peoples opinions and things they find bad just influence the way I play the game. I start to look for things that I havent noticed etc. I recommend it! ;)

So I don't usually get excited or hyped up for any game and I am really pessimisctic but one of my buddy that tried PES 2018(who is use to be a huge fan of PES 5/6 before he gave up and is extremely pessimistic as well) said he couldn't stop playing the game. The feeling of the game reminds him of PES 5/6 and a goal is really worth while. Each player plays very differently from each other so you gotta really get use to the player. Some player have bad first touch error. Some player can't pass first touch. Some player takes longer for the dribbling animation. Some players can misplace easy pass especially if they are being pressed depending on the passing stat. Taller player have more weight. Strong players can shield better. You can miss a shot completely. CPU can miss a shot completely. CPU can score some amazing long shot goal. He said in just 3 matches we played, Rakitic scored a beautiful long shot taking a long stride. You also need good defenders on the team that have good reaction, agility, strength and tackling otherwise you will be destroyed at your defense. You can't close down with any player otherwise you will put a huge hole in the defense. There is midfield battle on harder difficulty and teams like Barca have high defensive line and the defense and midfield is closely knit together. In other words, I am officially excited with this PES.

So the title might be

PES 2018 - stats matter

assuming they don't yield to Fifa YouTubers.

Now I seriously want to see a full gameplay video against the CPU.

And folk in the community don't?
 
No no, it doesnt surprise me at all.
In fact, I was the one who said that Konami might be the only company in the world capable of making an awesome game look terrible in a teaser.
True. It's baffling.

I decided that after watching the hysteria level around Evo-Web and how nobody was appreciating anything. I decided to just limit myself to reading. And it's worked so far. Now I'm convinced I will fall in love wit PES 2018 the minute I'm done downloading it on Steam. Everything will feel so brand new to me. Like in the PS1 and PS2 days when there was just no way to see the game before release. You could only read the new features on a magazine, but that was it. So everything feel entirely new from one year to the next.
That is actually a very good strategy to experience things with unbiased eyes. I do this with movies. I'll watch the first trailer, and if I'm hooked, I won't watch any other trailers or promo material. But there's no way I can do this with PES—the curiosity is overwhelming!

Fantastic, brilliant, wonderful…pray the gods that it doesn't change.

I agree with you, watching footage in some cases allows a somewhat more “objective” perspective to the extent that it places the viewer in a more “detached” mindset. However, I think it's fair to say that throughout the years we have learnt—sometimes the hard way—to reserve final judgement until we actually get to play the game, for the difference between passive and active involvement can influence our opinions in a variety of ways. Overall, in my opinion both forms of “involvement” have a role to play in the process of analytical criticism, and therefore neither should be disregarded a priori.

i took video of a ps4 game with my phone and it looked smoother and movie like so don't take to much out of those. must be some capturing the recording has making it look smoother. hopefully it's like that though.
 
I'm worried that in the beta we won't be able to play well enough cuz of online lag and restriction of just multiplayer. I hope there will at least be a training mode, to try out the new features and feel the game more.
I guess there will be a demo before release so you can play against the AI.
 
Yeah but that demo would be in August. To me it's a long time. Probably a new code too.
Probably yes, if we look at the past.
I don't mind the time till august, but I'm with you, I want to play that E3 code too! And if it were only to compare it to the demo and vanilla retail. So we could "feel" the difference ourselfs as Adam would say.
But in the end, what does playing a few matches with good code do to us, if it all changes when the game is released. It would drive us crazy! Now we only hear about it.
I feel sad for the guys that have to go through this process hands on! ;)
 
btw: I upgraded my 3 month old Sony 55XD8599 to a Samsung 55KS9090.
Android didn't work that well and I don't need a lot of apps anyway plus the Samsung is another level from the technical side. The awesome price was the cherry on top.

I need, no I want, to calibrate this baby tomorrow and then I'll check on 4kHDR movie material, some live soccer and for sure THE GAMES! PES, GTSbeta, Horizon... :)
life is good.
Edit: and yeah, the cables, table and stuff are gone or better arranged when I'm moving early august. Looks messy, I know.
 
Adam Bhatti just tweeted: "need you in soon to see new build. No idea how the team have improved, but Masuda-san said its new 'animations in between animations'"

I don't know if they gonna play the new build soon, as in on Friday. But I really wanna experience the E3 build before they might fuck up everything.
 
Watched this several times because it's so damn beautiful.

While it is just a replay it is one of the most staggering things I have ever seen a football videogame replicate. Almost everything is perfect, if one were to look at it as and attempt to replicate how football looks when broadcast on TV.

That might sound like a cynical comment on the game (it'a all about gameplay/simulation etc.) but it is anything but. In all my 35 years of playing football videogames I have never seen anything quite like that generated by either franchise, and on any hardware.

Sure, you could say that it might be the camera pointing at a screen running the game that is playing tricks on the eyes. Who cares? It works. In isolation, as purely an example of what these games can produce in terms of realism, that wee looping video looks...well, it looks like something I simply haven't seen before from these games.

The camera movement is perfect. Almost everything, bar a miniscule amount of missing frames/footplanting (both look miles better than previous PES', regardless) look perfect. The way the ball moves on the finish is perfect.

Even if the game were to turn out to be guff, this wee video suggests that so far as well budgeted football videogames production goes in general, there is going to be some major leaps still to come, because that video could trick anyone into thinking it was real even after numerous glances.

Please tell me you aren't one of those folks who were moaning about the animation in the trailer or previous gameplay footage?

If you are, then you would literally be moaning (in a roundabout way) about them talking about putting in more animations.

If you haven't been complaining about the animations then simply ignore this :)

I'm still with the fact that they should add more animations in some aspects. I'm happy for that, they are going to add more. But that's not why I want E3 build, people say it's more free and open. That's what I want to experience. Next build or final build for that matter might all be fucked again just like last year in E3 people said the same thing about passing or the game being more free, yet final product was so assisted.
 
The graphics are very impressive...the lips and teeth however look very strange, hopefully something they can fix. To be fair some look ok, but G.Jesus, Coutinho and Dani Alves don't look right.

You should have seen last year game, it was a nightmare.

the FOX game engine built by Kojima Productions is amazing us every year
