Pro Evo 2008 - Yay or Nay?

pocketac3s

I'm playing on the 360 and its most certainly a Yay for me - barring the slowdown for replays.

Same here for the PS3, will take time to get used to it but really enjoyable

Have only played a couple of games but immediately it seems WAY quicker than the last pro Evo. Takes a bit of getting used to. I think I liked the slower pace to be honest. Seems a small bit too arcadey to me at the moment but it might grow on me.

So my immediate feeling is that I preferred the last version.

Hows the slowdown on ps3, some ppl say its unplayable, some say its fine?!! Whats the deal? Have u SD or HD tv?

What is the password for the network play, I put in the regestration code but what is the password?

Phoole

I'm playing with a PS3 on a regular tv. Even the entrance scene has a slow down. The game itself is about as smooth as a dirt road. I'll be buying myself the PS2 version in the morning.

Haha, got to love the complete over reaction there

PC FTW!!

Once you go PC, you just never go back. I dunno how anyone could put up with those awful turfs konami use and everything else the online community can update simply blows every other format away IMO.
I heard some people buying a PS3 just for Pro Evo... they should have just bought a top line PC, or upgraded!
Ok, PC fanboy rant over
Happy playing everybody!

No way could my laptop handle a new game like that. What sort of system are we looking at there to support it (graphics card and the whole lot)?

PC version is quite good it must be said. Someone add it to the poll post haste.

KdjaCL

edited poll to add in PC YAY as there won be any PC NAY unless your pc cant run it

360 yay, apart from the frame rates on replays.

pocketac3s

Sorry PC fans, completely forgot about the PC! Whenever I look at mine I see porn not pro evo... Played my first online there with the 360, its quite jumpy, the player and the ball just appear places randomly. One of the other guys players got stuck in the net for awhile as well, funny.... Here's hoping they can sort it out!

Does anyone know what the two green icons in the top middle of the screen are for? Me thinks Ping, but I was getting outrageous numbers, any idea?

Despite the above, I still yay it....

What country was that person you played from? That sounds like a shambles to me

ShaneU

why the hell does the ps2 version have 11 more stadiums than any of the other versions?

I dunno where he was from, he was Milan and I was United, I won 3-2 in the end. I tried to help get his player out of the net by passing the ball back to my keeper a few times, eventually Inzaghi realized he was acting the bollix and ran back onto the pitch, not before trying to rob my keeper of the ball, cheeky git...

What if you have the 3 different formats

Helix

i dont think its as cut and dry yay or nay to be honest

its an alrite game

Kanney

This game is awesome, I dont know what all the bad press was about it. I've played only 5 games, granted. But the slowdown from replays? Thats the first view, an action motion view, press Y for a new view and it is smooth.
As far as the game goes, quicker, better... Loving it. But now I've six painful hours of work to endure before I have it all mine for the weekend.

PC wins

Cannibal Ox

Not really next-gen, but the core of it is still a yay.

Wheres the PES Shop (xbox360)?!?! Can't find it, and I'm beginning to think its not there...?

Aedh Baclamh

Kensutz - Did you play all three versions already? Good going.

Cannibal Ox

Discovered there is no PES Shop, saw the editing mode and am ready to kick Seabass square in the balls. With iron tipped boots.

Same old same old. Was playing Master League and was deep into extra time, I was up 1 nil. the computer lets the opposition team play around with it well past the 2 mins added time and then when they finally approach the box they get the cheapest piece of sh*t penalty I've ever encountered. Trés annoying.

Some mexican fouled Given in the world cup during normal time and got ayellow in last minute score 3-3 he dived and got sent off

I did foul him so injustice works both ways.

Well, first impressions on my 2 year old PC (512RAM, 256MB GeF6800, P3.. Latest drives installed).

It's good. Like the freedom of the players and movement, and the possbility of much more open and unpredictable play.
Zippy play seems better, but odd to get used to.
Ball physic seems very different. Something not quite right about it.
Graphics - colours and everything are sh*te to be honest. It's amazing what edited jerseys / turfs and other graphics can do to enhance this. Hope we done have to wait to long for kitserver!
I'm saying good and not great, as I never thought my initial view of any PES was 'WOW!! this is brilliant!'. You gotta give it a bit of time to see where it really shines and betters it's predecessors.

The edit mode... aaaarrggghhhhh!!! So picky and nowhere near as easy to navigate and use as PES06. WTF did they change it???


Big issue though... the dreaded slowdown is happening too often. Some slight slowdown during replays, but it's not too bad as it's like an 'action cam', but during play (even just build up when player goes near mine or slides...anywhere with complicated animation) it gets jerky.
I'm playing on medium setting and 1024x768. Oddly enough, the demo ran near perfect on same res but high setting.

Playing it on the 360 its not a whole lot faster than PES6 and I thought 6 was too slow anyway. Not too bad so far. The only thing that bugs me is the inability to get the ball of the opposition but when you turn they always seem to get it off you.

That and deflections especially from free outs in the box which end up bouncing off your defenders head!

Batesy

Its way faster than pes6 on the 360!

Also online is a complete joke at the moment. Played a game lost 8-4. The ball disappears and reappears up the other end of the pitch!! One minute I had the ball running up the pitch and next minute it appears back in my box and he scores!! Crazy.

I shot twice from a kick off and scored. Just went straight through his keeper.

Konami really need to sort this out. I know it happens every year but that doesn't make it alright. Surely they should test the online servers for weeks before release and iron out any issues! Grrrrr. Rant over.

Lucky ba*tards getting to play it. Not out here til next Friday
