Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 08/22/07)
Right I have had a look at the majority ofthe videos and I can say that I am OK with them, not dissapointed at all, but not like over the moon, but I never really am to be honest with videos, as most of the feelings and views come from playing the game your way for couple of days to see how it goes, thats just me, the cameras dont show off what the game is like in HD, doesnt show the true speed, and no way does it make us feel the flow of the game as we dont feel the responsiveness of the game. Also the fact most that are playing dont really play well, they do things too soon, dont take their time especially with the shooting hence why I think most are moaning about shooting animations etc.
On to my opinion asif any one cares
The presentation is top notch, and the game looks great, tbh PES6 wasnt great, more above average for a footy game much below par for a PES game, well I didnt like it but ill move on, I like the graphics, they arent spectacular not as good as fifa, but I reckon the faces are better, well some are. I like the simple shading, I think it looks realistic and is a nice effect, the colours are vibrant for a change and nice looking, but textures of kits are not very good, probably the main reason it doesnt look as good as fifa, the stadium itself is cool, but the pitch from afar is nice, the design however awful, patchy? Why? Upclose looks worse and the same as PES6, great! Hopefully we can edit it A LOT and in DETAIL!
The sprinting does look weird maybe because its slow down or sped up, but I think that its cool they run different, some run head down, some head up, some straight, some bent forward slightly, at onestage I noticed a player running with powerful arm strokes, as you could see his back proper going for it, this was in a replay however and others just swing their arms faster, well I noticed it, might be I saw them in different cycles of the run, like accelerate for start, or slow down to stop etc. Animations look good, celebrations and tackles and complaining to ref etc are top notch, great facials, body language everything, like the new camera for penalties too.
Anyway cant really say much about gameplay as thats best to play it.
Now with PES6 there were several things I wanted personally adjusted as I really didnt like it in PES6 360 anyway:
Faster Turning/More Responsive - It looks faster so im happy, just need to test response
Better Faces and More - Again achieved
Better vibrant colours and kits etc - Well kits move, and look better colours, shame about textures next installment maybe
Better Shooting - cant test so dunno
Better heading for goal - Dunno again need demo or something!
Better passes well aim anyway - As i thought this was the worst for it, hopefully better looks kinda better but again have to play myself
So im happy so far most I have to test now, but tbh its better not much though, but its understandable I suppose, aint even heard about online mode yet either... Anyway next year they have to do a PES3, as it is after all the time to do so, if there is no OVERHAUL, its gonna be bad thats all I can say, so many easy features to apply and much to do, people aint happy now, and more wont then, its annoying.
They messed up with PES6 360, this was their time to fix that, which they look like they have done, but next year an improvement wont do, we need the real next gen NEW GAME!
Fifa 08 demo should be fun 27th yeah!
Also is it still true there is a next gen mode un talked about? Sorry for huge post!
