Cheers!
It better be miles better than the 360 version last year, it wasn't a real PES game at all.:(

It was. You, and others, just couldn't look past the fact that it had no edit mode. In terms of gameplay, it was the best in the series. And that's why we play PES, for the gameplay, right?

Oh, and small world, ConsoleMonster used to be one of my e-haunts. haha

It's funny cos i was critical of pes 6 but when my 360 broke we dusted off the xbox and pes 5, going back to that was terrible. We managed 2 games! pes 6 is sooo much better gameplay wise.....

The 360 is the worst ever since ISS2, only people who havent got it for Ps2 or PC think otherwise.

Agreed. PS2 gameplay wipes the floor with the 360's. But the Live integration of the 360 is why I'm prolly going to purchase 2008 on it.

NeoKubrick · 12-09-2007 2:05am

You're both living in a dream-world. The Xbox 360 build of PES6 had the best gameplay and most realistic. I've played the PS2 build. It's an arcade game; it's a run and bugshoot game. And PES2008 is based upon the build of the PES6 Xbox 360 version; so, Seabass & Co. obviously think it's a better game and more realistic interpretation. :rolleyes:

Nailz · 12-09-2007 3:01pm

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you Neo buddy... the PS2 kicks the shít out of the 360 fun wise, thats what PES is all about.

Agreed!!

Lets hope they resurrect the awesome end to end, non stop style of gameplay of WE10 on the 360 with 2008. I'm not asking for a carbon copy, but integrating that style of play is what is required!! Loads of goals, shots, 1 on 1's and slick passing. Realism can be taken to too high a degree IMO, which only serves to get in the way of just enjoying the game. PES6 on the 360 for example, I can count on one hand the amount of really exciting games I've had with friends or on XBL. I've literally stopped playing it now because it just bores the crap outa me.:(

Paying WE10, alone or with friends, was possibly the most fun I've ever had with any game on any platform ever!!

I'm with you on that one dude!

Mikeyt086 · 12-09-2007 10:40pm

PES 6 PS2 = 40m screamers, 4 or 5 a game. disgarceful goalkeepers.

PES 6 360 = 40 screamers, 4 or 5 a year, sence of achievement.

I played ALOT of both, and on PS2 random stuff happened all the time. 360 is alot more of a footballing sim.

Zapp Brannigan · 12-09-2007 11:55pm

The keepers in the 360 are disgraceful aswell. Nearly always getting beat at their near post and are so ridiculously easy to round. I also think supercancel is fubar'd in the 360 version.

gonna go with the 360 version
it kicks ass

Nailz · 13-09-2007 12:44am

May you tell me why it "kicks ass"?

jimmy456 · 13-09-2007 1:24am

this looks cool

LegacyUser · 14-09-2007 12:44pm

This looks fantastic.

And quit hating on the 360 version of the game, i actually preferred it to my ps2 and my pc. The only advantages the pc had was downloadable jersey patches etc for the game.

All of you slagging the game off ridiculously on the 360 is pretty unjustified in my opinion unless you are slating it for having less features i.e. no edit mode...then you have a point. But gameplay was practically perfect.

Vokes · 14-09-2007 1:08pm

PC version > All

But seriously, its a fine game for the most part on both PS2 and Xbox (I can't discern any huge difference in gameplay between the two) - some people need to chill :S

Aside, in a commuter paper today, I've seen a PES2008 ad congratulating Owen on his 40 England goals. And the cover art of the game has C. Ronaldo and Owen now - was this not originally just C. Ronaldo ?

Zapp Brannigan · 14-09-2007 2:05pm

No, Owen has been confirmed for quite a while now. It's prolly why they chose Newcastle as a licensed team.

In other news it's been officially confirmed that the release date is the 26th

Aedh Baclamh · 14-09-2007 8:17pm

The PC version is easily the best out of the three but unfortunately my system here wouldn't be able to handle it too well. Next would be the PS2 version which I have, then last the xbox one (gameplay being cack on it).

If you've any decent PC, get it on that.

the fact its **** and lsuggish is good enough for me, the main thing being the sluggish part, you cant control the ball and a diagonal slide tackle can take the ball at any time.

PC you can stop the ball and move it with ease 360 just doesnt allow that due to the crap game engine used.

It's not sluggish. It's just not the fast arcade game that PES6 is on the PS2 and PC. It's football as it is, not as a fast video game (a la Sensible Soccer). I can control the ball no problem; I can stop the ball.

One of the main reasons some fans object to the Xbox 360 version is that it doesn't let them play a run and bugshoot game; it actually requires you to pass the ball.

Only people i know who like the 360 version are 360 owners who dont have it for pc or hate playstations.

I have it for all 3 and honestly the only reason i can see that people play it on 360s is that they have no other choice.

Your being overly harsh and very exaggerative in my opinion.

How on earth you can say "You can't control the ball" is crazy...a diagonal slide tackle can take the ball away at any time?....That's just madness.

I have it on the pc, had it on the playstation and own it on the 360 and all I am saying is that the gameplay is perfect on the 360.

To be honest, I think the problem is quite simple, it's when any new pes game comes, people say it's **** and harder to use etc....so when you are playing it on the 360 as opposed to on the ps2 or the PC, it's like a different game in terms of speed of play and some people don't like this adjustment and call it **** and sluggish...

These people need to look at themselves and realize the game is not that bloody bad...and that it is practically perfect game play wise....

KdjaCL · 15-09-2007 6:54pm

Its not that bloody bad and is perfect gameplay wise hows that work

Since the game out over a year ago only yourself and Neo are the 2 people to say thats its brilliant on this forum, others accpeted it as the only pes they could get.

LegacyUser · 15-09-2007 7:22pm

lol

I mean like fair enough in terms of features, it is the worst, probably the ****test pro evo ever out....

But when you forget about the editing crap and just go straight in....i think it's a gem...

I'm not gonna lie man, when I first played it on 360, it was in my friends house and I was still playing it on pc and ps2....

And then when I bought a 360 mainly cos i traded in my psp and a **** load of games my mate gave me, I started playing pro evo on it more and then after a few hours on it, i was like "This is just as good..."

I used to hate the controller and stuff. So in my opinion, I am convinced it is just like playing a new pro evo...that whole adjustment phase....but i really like it....

I couldn't care less if everyone in this forum said they preferred PES6 on the PS2. The Xbox 360 version is better, gameplay-wise, and the fact that Konami are building upon the Xbox 360 build, and not the PS2 PES6 build proves which version Seabass & Co. think is better.
