Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 10/10/07)
"OMG Faces face face lol!!11111zzz!!"
WHO CARES about faces? We see them for a few seconds here and there. The actualy in-game graphics are terrible and the gameplay LOOKS way too fast!
Han, is it really that difficult for you to comprehend that PES 2008 is going to be rubbish this year? Can't you see that people like Placebo are old-school hardcore PES/WE fanatics and they can't beleive Seabass's half-arsed attempt at a Next-Gen football game? Does it really hurt you that much that so many people are loving FIFA this year? THAT is pathetic.
Mate, exaggeration is obvious in your post. Firstly, PES isn't rubbish. So out of 10 it seems like you rate things either 0 or 10? So its either rubbish or perfect? That's the wrong way to rate anything. I agree PES 2008 isn't what we expected but its still PES and its gameplay still has the same elements that made me like this game.
So many people loving Fifa? Sorry there's another exaggeration again. So many people may have liked it for the fact it has improved slightly both visually and in gameplay, which is impressing considering how long it took them to impress (10 years?), but in no way its gameplay surpasses PES's.
I have been playing Fifa 08 heavily for quite a while now and yes i did like it. For some reason last night i felt the urge to go back to PES 2008 PC. I was very impressed with its gameplay eventhough it still don't look next-gen enough. Why though? Because i found that its gameplay sucked me in and i had that same feeling i had 10 years ago come back to me, specially after playing Fifa. PES definetely has better player control, response time, and player uniqueness.
I am defintely buying PES 2008 PC version and i'm pretty sure i'll be enjoying it more than i have with Fifa 08 this time around, even if it doesn't include the manager mode that i want.
One more thing i'd like to mention. Both PES and FIFA can be so arcadish, which actually depends on who's playing them. But when people like me who try to play their games like a real football match on both Fifa and PES, PES does it for me.
My ratings for both games (If anyone gave a toss):
Gameplay
PES 2008 PC (based on PC demo obviously): 8.7
Fifa 08 360 (full game): 7.5
Football atmosphere
PES 2008 PC (based on PC demo obviously): 7.5
Fifa 08 360 (full game): 9
