2007-08-02 14:05:37 PES 2008 preview (XBox 360 build)

Looks better than last year, certainly seems like the PS3 and 360 versions are going to be the same game unless Konami springs something at Leipzig.

EDIT - They lost the Manchester United license? Twats.

Is it just me or do those screens look worse than Pro Evo 6 :S

Rather bizarre from Konami to have Newcastle and Spurs licenced ffs (Man Utd supporter)

It is preview build and maybe they will have licence for the full game hope so im not to bothered about screens. Because like last year they always lacked clarity when people took them looked much better when played the game. :) Wouldnt be suprised though if EA had a part to play in it really annoys me.

Oh and if you guys didnt know here some of features announced.

- Gameplay looks the same
- Great collisions
- Many passing animations
- Better ball protection (better collision)
- Better control for pass
- Much better AI on very hard
- New slide tackle
- The ball physique look more heavy
- No more scripts, better control of the player
- Goalkeepers very realistic
- Amazing collisions
- More and better lifelike animations
- Shooting is better/harder
- Gameplay and passing faster
- Shirt pulling

- Kits that flow and crease as the players run around
- Alot of new animations
- Irritated coaches!
- Players pull up their socks.
- New camera on PK (behind the goalkeeper) when the Computer shoots.

- Tackling's the big change with players constantly nibbling at their rival's heels.

I don't really care about the licenses, as long as they let you edit the names and teams I'm happy. For some they didn't have that option in the 360 07 version...

I love this news, but i hate the diving part. It already ruins real life football.

If it looks like crap (like all other "next gen" PES games) I won't buy it.........not for $60.
