HENRY SIGNS FOR KONAMI!
Striker legend Thierry Henry signs for Konami of Europe’s hugely anticipated football title…
26. August, 2004　 - Konami of Europe has announced that Thierry Henry, the world top striker, is to be one of the faces of Pro Evolution Soccer 4, the latest installment in Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo's highly regarded football simulation for PlayStation 2, PC-DVD and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft.
The current European and Premiership Golden Boot holder, Thierry Henry is the most prolific and respected striker in the modern game, and a self-confessed fan of the Pro Evolution Soccer series. The 27-year-old striker joined Arsenal from Juventus in 1999 and rapidly established himself as a Premiership force, scoring 154 goals in five seasons with the North London club. He is also a mainstay of the French national side, with 27 goals to his 63 appearances.
As part of the deal, Henry will appear on Pro Evolution Soccer 4's packaging and promotional materials. He will also be available for promotional purposes in the run-up to the game's launch in October.
Pro Evolution Soccer 4 represents another huge step forward for Konami's seminal football title. Already regarded as the most realistic football simulation for any home format, the new game ups the ante further with more realistic animation, individually tailored player movement, and skills that reflect the attributes of the world's greatest players. The new game also includes a host of club sides of Dutch, Italian, Spanish leagues, such as Ajax, Feyenoord, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Roma and Milan.
"Pro Evolution Soccer 4 has become a landmark title for Konami, and Thierry Henry's involvement proves how we are looking to take the series forward," commented Martin Schneider, European Marketing Director, Konami of Europe. "We are delighted to be working with the most talented striker in the modern game, especially since he's such a big Pro Evo fan."
Since its inception as ISS Pro Evolution Soccer for PlayStation in 1996, the Pro Evolution Soccer series has constantly evolved to become the most realistic game of its kind. Players control every nuance of real play, with through balls, passes, first-time volleys and flicked on headers, with the game rapidly expanding its fan base as annual sales regularly bypass the one million units mark with each release.
The series' appeal has also seen a number of dedicated fan sites emerge, and an officially endorsed national league wherein over thousands of die-hard fans meet for regional heats to determine the best players.
"The Pro Evolution Soccer series is by far the closest to real football," commented Thierry Henry. "I am very excited to be involved with a game of this calibre and look forward to working closely with Konami of Europe in the coming months."

Even that's a joke in itself.
I've played the demo for Fifa 2005 and I do like it, but I also have Winning Eleven 8 and I think you have to have played this to understand how far Konami have taken the player animations and movements.
The problem I have with EA is that they seem to think Footabll is some complex thing that you have to have tons of skills and moves to make it good. Football is a simple game.
WE8 now has a system of receiving the ball which is intuitive. The player reacts based on his skill, how the ball comes to him, and in what situation. He may control it, flick it away, turn on it and these are all achieved by basic shoulder buttons and using the d-pad, and make the game 'feel' so realistic.
I'll pick up both Fifa 2005 and PES4, but I'm sure I will keep PES4, whereas it is down to Fifa to try and hold my interest as the games have been poor since the brilliant Road to World Cup '98.
The main problem I have with the videos i've seen of Fifa is the inclusion of things like the bergkamp turn against Newcastle, as these are one-offs that I don't want to be able to pull of 4 or 5 times in a season, as that is totally unrealistic. It's this 'special move syndrome' that is more suited to a beat em up, that has seen me shy away from Fifa over the past few poorer years.
Fifa '05 has everything to prove in comparison to the past few PES/WE games, and I hope it does. It would be nice to have two qualuity football games for the variation.

Four you maybe. For me. Football is a dance and moves and skills is what it's all about. If you got the skills, you got the dance and can dance football.

And as I said, you can 'dance' in PES/WE but you can do it in the way a player would in the real game. It's a bout being in complete control of your polayers movement and being able to jink and run with the ball.
Although the EA boys enjoy putting 'tricks' in the game, the dribbling and movement is still far too robotic and clunky, as if the players are skating instead of running with the ball (it may change in the full game, but it is like this in the demo).
Whereas in the WE/PES games at the moment, you have complete freedom of movement with your player, and they are also capable of doing the shimmies, stepovers and the like you see in the real game. It is just that these are incorporated fluidly into the runs and movement, and not treated like 'special moves' as they are with EA.
