Konami announced a few minutes ago the release next autumn of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Konami will introduce a brand new adaptive AI called Teamvision that should be able to adapt to the player's style, along with the usual yearly enhancements. Let's just hope that the game won't have half of its content missing like last year's 360 version of PES6. First screens inside.

From what i hear from Winning Eleven podcast who have inside info there is quite a few other things that havnt been discussed yet. :)
I'm a big fan o PES, can't count the number of hours i've played, but would like to see some spicing up of the genre
Oh, and Go Portugal!
I'm hoping for better live integration, spectator mode, sharing of replays, tournaments and the like. Not sure we'll get it until PSN is more mature sadly :(
Must by regardless for me anyway, just hope they get Veron back in :)
Such a shame he could never adapt to the Premiership.
As for PES7 (or 2008 or whatever) it really does appear to be a yearly update to the 360 version from last year. People were kidding themselves thinking Konami had a secret engine just for the PS3.
i hate footy games, but visually it looks like what i would expect of a next gen footy game
I wonder, is it seriously lazy devs or just lack of talent in the graphics/art department?
Still the game is gonna be fantastic as always :)

I'd rather Konami focus on gameplay and features as the first is the most important and the second was sorely lacking in last year's game. If they get time to polish up the graphics then great, but the other two have to come first.
Pe6 is a great game, but could of been o much better...
now is the time to shine konami you have had plenty of time with working with the devs..
umm, lol, i sure dont see any of that in these screenshots :P konami needs to get some artistic talent on the PES team
My m8 and I, we started with PES3 and are still playing PES6 alot.
There are alot of bugs in PES6, minor mistakes and some other things we would like to import from FIFA. We also played all FIFA parts and compared them all and we are still with PES.
I hope for less faulty passes, more animations/graphics, more licensed teams, more.. FEELING, and my friend wants new menus (i like em) :D
ALSO: Many players have to high skills, but still miss the goal from 15 meters....
the strength/skill-system has to be completely rebuild imho.
I played with Peru vs Brazil and owned him totaly easy with no world-class-footballer.... thats lame, hope it gets fixed
Fall 2007... im waiting for you!
And to whoever said the graphics will look much improved, early build, blaha blahbla.......come on, I thought we had learned a lesson already.
The game won't look much better than what we are seeing. Having said that, if they have some nice facial animations, it could make things look drastically better.
PES has always had much more believable animation and that's gone a long way, but it could make similar strides in simply capturing the right look of the pitch from overhead.
