EA contracts several konami developers!

Rumour: EA is working on a football simulation game!

This Rumour was posted on Tuesday 1st of june on a dutch gamesite (www.gamers.nl). This site is a trustworthy site! with good knowlegde!

The rumour says that a number (about 10) of people from Konami who have been working on PES for the last couple of years, have been contracted by EA. Together they are now working on a new soccer game with the PES gameplay and the EA/Fifa football Licenses.

The rumour says that the new football simulation game is developed at EA Chertsey, this is where Burnout 3 is developed at the moment.

I think this can be a good development! The one thing PES misses is the official fifa license and the one thing the fifa franchise misses is the PES gameplay!

Whats your opinion on this?

couldn't be bad for gamers if the rumour's true...

i've always dreamt of an EA/Konami collaboration, just like the Capcom/SNK and Squaresoft/Enix ones that have done the Fighting and RPG genres so much good..

in the meantime, let's look forward to WE8 for now :P

If thats gonna happen. (Personally, I highly doubt it)
Well, *Maybe* it will give people a fresh feeling when first release, but after the first release it will be back to like FIFAXX series, because its created by EA, that a company think Marketing > gameplay~!

EA - FIFA *used to* have a good develop team back in FIFA96 - 98, however, EA think license > all, and they discovered their game can sell really good with their marketing strategy (Look! Their marketing strategy isn't really good IMO, FIFA sold good ITS because ITS the ONLY English soccer game that keep updating/realeasing new version every year), so why bother with the gameplay? Now, they noticed they need to improve their gameplay, its because the tend of the market, people want a REAL soccer game, NOT a soccer Card / Pinball game!!!

Anyway, That will be interesting to see it happen(IF thats true)... But I won't give any expectation it will be a successful soccer game like WE/PES, reason why is because its conduct by EA!!! :-puke:

If anything comes of this I think i'll apply to become a games tester at ea chertsey again.

EA has never and will never make a "simulation" game.

Their games have always been more skewed to the arcade style of gameplay. They make some pretty fun games with the Madden, MVP, etc. but they really aren't anywhere close to a realistic simulation of the game.

They want their games to appeal to as many people as possible, so they make a video game that contains both simulation and arcade aspects.

the likelihood of this happening is slim indeed. therefore, opinion = this is bullsh!t

Hopefully they've contracted Konami's European programmers who usually f*ck up the original WE Jap version of the game when they convert it to PES for the European market.

So long as the WE series remains true to KCET's current philosophy of striving for realism in a footballing "simulation", I don't care what EA do with their crapped-out little arcade game.

But I'd be gutted if they started pinching KCET's best developers.

I dont think this game will be made. Maybe next year. At the moment they are working on TCM and FIFA 2005

5 or 6 to FIFA 2005... so why too late?

Even if this was true which it ain't - if they were to "steal" some peeps from KONAMI, they'd take them from KONAMI EUROPE. That means, the people that do conversions...

PES3 is better than WE7...

well, I even believe that Konami "sell out" some useless ppl who just disturb them

then they went to EA and said: "Hey! we're from Konami, can we talk about a little transfer?"
EA - No, f** out!"
Useless Workers - but please, we made a big deal in KCEO, I made a logo for ISS3 PC, Andy and Mandy worked on supporters kits, Alfredo cleaned floors near to one of Konami programmer's room, Sonny always delivers us pizza, and there are rumors that he saw a 14 lines of code of PES1!!!
EA - hmmmm you say 14..right? hmmm.. let me ask my boss, wait a sec..
UW - ...
EA - ok, you can go inside, we're all try to remind that piece of code.
UW1 - it started from "#include <stio.h> I think...
UW2 - no no, I saw that part, it was <stdio.h> I'm SURE! it's probably from "standard input/output"
EA - it has sense gentlemans, keep thinking, you're now official EA Sucks workers!
UW1 - hurray!
UW2 - hurray!
UW3 - the second line was similar, it was smth like.....


and that's the truth about that rumour Konami would never sell ppl who are core of their series

I just piss off the ones who can't stand the arguments... i'm not biased...

 

[gian]

hm....... Even if they take the whole konami team this game needs to be started from 0.

Anyway that's all bull****s.


P.S There is ashop with illegal back up and controllers mods etc near me. My friend gonne there to mod his ps2. And he told him ah ps2. PES4 exclusive to X-BOX. (He is an xbox fan) What a jerk. Or he said that zelda will go to xbox.
