Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 08/22/07)
Held of my opinion until i saw a good few videos, and before the fanboys jump on me like a pack of hungry wolves, im basing this on what i see.
i was one hell of a pes fanboy, so much so that i done what alot of people done, got winning eleven, then patched it to hell coz i couldnt wait for pes. and for years it was great, but i started to see an alarming trend, which were seeing now, more than ever, and that is, between games konami dont listen to people who matter, nor do they actually really do much work.
from watching these videos, to me this looks like pro evo 6.1, not pro evo 2008.
everything looks so eerily similar, which to me is bad, as im sure like alot of people i was crying out for alot of things to be specifically changed. but from the vids, none of it really has been. it looks so much like pro evo 6, but with the odd little touch up here and there.
as i said i was a huge fanboy, and bought into the hate fifa trend, but credit to EA, they go, and they get the licenses, they strive year after year to make mega inprovements and offer new innovations, IMHO the button to make a teammate make a run should be on every football game, its second nature. and there is nothing better playing with MAN UTD with great looking kits, rather than man red who wear some horrible shade of reddy crap.
i will no doubt buy PES 2008, as i always do, and i'll play it, but definaitly for me personally i'm really looking forward to fifa and am really excited about it, especially as once again they have strived and have today announced the 10 single people online, which is a great addition.
so i would say i have moved over to the dark side, but their isn't one the dark side is just garbage created by the fanboys who secretly couldnt handle the fact that they themselves would love to score with giggs in a real man utd kit, rather than goggs in some dark red minging crappy kit.
im really really dissapointed, i had hoped to be writing saying how great it looked and how i couldnt wait, but somehow i knew that that wasnt konamis style, its obligatory for them to take one step forward and two steps back. if only they could follow the simple steps of listening to the fans, and just implementing what they want, or at least trying to, even that would be appreciated.
Heres to fifa, and of course Pes 2008, may the best game win, give them both an unbiased play, and hopefully we'll get good football from one of them.
and to the fanboys who are about to pounce on me, well, couldnt care less really, this is a forum, and im posting my personal opinions, if you dont like them, too bad.
