The future is bleak for PES
FONT="Courier New"]I have been an hardcore PES fan since winning eleven 4
and have seen it evolution and devolution over the last years, cant blame it on its developers , but it had to finally reach here
For many years FIfa had been considered a game for kids and retards, the canadian developers were regarded lazy, and the game on the whole was considered extremely ****ty. The series as such was never a threat for winning eleven ( i sometimes feel Takatsuka must have even pulled a joke or two hehe)
well this is because , Fifa completley concentrated on the player models and motion capture which directly contributed towards the player physics. There has been no ball physics (the ball was a baloon). However, the employment of Booth and his team has changed the series ever since..
., Ball physics were added ( I must say quite a bit) and randomness had entered Fifa. The game became more "realistic" and is quiet appreciated on the 360
Mind you my freiends, the ball physics is nothing compared to PES ball physics engine, but it has been accentuated by the great player motion capture physics
In other words, if i can predict well ( i am into game development) the ball physics (on the 360) will be of PES 3 , but the player physics is
way better than it was then. As result EA is actually selling a " super graphical and well-polished" PES 3 on the XBox360 and the schmuck fifa fans consider it GODLY.
On the other hand, Konami developers have reached a saturation in programming ball physics and need to quickly develop their player physics.
while doing so, the game may appear scripted and repititive in some parts
besides they must be ready to shrug of their Current gen image which is tough
The task at hand is tedious and graphical improvements are irritating, especailly if you have to develop a game for a variety of platforms
SO PES improvement may not appeal to many, unless offcourse they use gimmicks and strong motion capture. The screenshots have confirmed my fears and if multi threading doesnt start then.......... in a couple of years it bye bye PES
PS:i didnt like stating this .......but many of us refuse to see the writing on the wall...Koonami must rethink the game for a next gen-audience
