The rumours were true after all. Konami will bring the best footy game ever to Xbox
We finally have rock-solid, horses'-mouth confirmation that Konami Tokyo are working on an Xbox version of Pro Evolution Soccer, the game widely regarded as the pinnacle of football gaming.
While Konami, rather strangely, will neither confirm nor deny whether the Xbox version will be based on, or even similar to, the PlayStation 2 series, the fact that it's coming from the same coders is reassuring. The grapevine suggests that the game will not be a port of PES3, the current incarnation, but a proper next step for the series, and should be released at around the same time as PES4 on PS2.
Described by UK PR as "a statement of intent to bring Pro Evo to Xbox", Microsoft senior director of Xbox marketing as "one of the greatest transfers of all time" and by a passing Xbox owner as "bloody good news", the announcement slates an autumn release.
Pro Evolution Soccer will finally grace Xbox this autumn
ok so i take it that that PES 4 should be released around october/november on x box and ps2. Nothing on winning eleven 8 tho.....which is supposed to be out in the summer.
