In 7 days, on August 19th, the biggest videogames expo will launch in Cologne, Germany.
Konami will make a big announcement which could be either 360° movement or the implementing of a new physics/animations engine, which is roumored to be the Endorphin Engine.
Make sure to be up-to-date and check the blog for more updates in the next days and especially between the 19th and the 23rd.
The game version available at gamescom should be around 70% comepleted which means that gameplay is nearly done with graphic, texture and roster updates completing the game.
The gamescom version is usually very similar to the final game so that will be the moment of truth for the PES fans all over the world.
Just to inform you, Konami said that the game version showed in the last trailer about strategies and cards in PES 2010 was from June and the same as the one which was previewed by many magazines back then. That version was around 55% comepleted.
PES next-gen Editing Blog will be there equipped with press-passes and cover everything about PES 2010.
We will post gameplay videos as well as reviews about the game here on the blog. We will also attend to the press conference and try to report also about new announcements made there.
If you have special questions you want us to answer when we play the game fell free to post them here in the comments.
What Konami says:
"Konami will be presenting a further world premiere with PES 2010. The new game has been developed following months of listening to feedback from fan forums and advice from PES players. Consequently PES Producer Shingo ‘Seabass’ Takatsuka will be visiting gamescom to introduce the results of this unique collaboration to visitors and fans. Seabass is promising to European players that new PES 2010 will be the most realistic and satisfying PES to date.
A few weeks ago Konami announced the Wii version of PES 2010 will be released in the autumn, shortly after the versions for PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360 and PC-DVD. PES Wii Fans will be delighted that Producer Akiyoshi ‘Greyhound’ Chosokabe will also make his way to Cologne to present key advances in the game including new gameplay and advanced graphical elements."
