The internet connection here is horrid most of the time, but we finally managed to upload this Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 video.

Hard to tell anything from this video except it DOES seem slower and the grass looks excellent and saw a couple of new animations too.
So I guess it will be a fun game to play, just won't hold that PES magic.
(only judging from what I read and watching this vid, mind you).
Well i'm a little relieved to be honest. The grass is looking a trillion times better than last year (as is the lighting), and I understand from previews that the gameplay has gone back to PES 5 on the PS2.
Finally, a real next gen PES.
When they made the step to next gen consoles, Konami should have created a new engine from scratch. People might say "why fix something that isn't broken?" Well, PES are never going to get back ahead of FIFA until they create a new engine because they are still using the same engine from the PS2 days.
I think a lot of people expect a revolution for PES 2010, and i'm included in that. Still, Konami finally look to be releasing a next gen PES that somewhat lives up to the name.
I think i'll be going Fifa too.
And yes, this is basically PES 2008.2. This should have been last year's installment and Konami really haven't done well enough in the last 3 years. PES 6 was forgiveable because of the jump to next gen, but PES 2008 was a disaster and lost a lot of fans.
But expect a revolution next year.
Also, Fifa seems to keep the play going longer, PES is stop-start in comparison (although partly because they were using the dive button and hacking eachother)
PES seem to have almost perfected the grass and the ball physics however.
Fifa have mentioned they're paying for a physicist to come in and work on their ball physics, but that won't be in this build. (source: Fifa Soccer Blog's visit to EA Canada)

One word. Complacency.

The guys on on we blog are saying the new pes feels slower paced and realistic like pes5/6... and without framedrops... I'm in heaven.

What's going to determine the outcome for me? The demos. Fifa's is coming on September 11th and a PES demo is sure to follow that. Whichever demo impresses me the most, i'm buying that game.

It's clear which football game is coming out on top, and it sure as hell isn't Konami's.
The spanish league, La Liga will noet be included! what an absolute fucking bummer, by this i officially boycot the pes series, welcome fifa!

FIFA just looks like a really authentic experience. They've got great presentation, great visuals, great commentary, great game modes and finally have the gameplay to go with it. You can't help but congratulate them - they've worked their arses off for 3 years to try and perfect their new engine, and they've finally overtaken PES in terms of quality. And Bardogan is right - PES has lost the Spanish League license. Rubbing salt in the wounds really, although they do have Wembley as a licensed stadium.
I very much look forward to the FIFA 09 demo, and hopefully the PES 09 demo will convince me to buy that game as well.
Anyways, whoever said expect a revolution next year must be really sad person. I mean, come on, I think it is very obvious by now. Konami just doesn't have the money to invest in this franchise. They don't care about it enough. It surprises me that anyone expects a revolution after so many years into this gen.
This game looks a LOT better than last year's, but damn, last year was bad.
You see, two steps forward and five steps backwards. Absolutely no gain. That's just sad.
