Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 was released last week, and I finally got my hands on a copy of it. We captured some match videos from the demo earlier, and I guess many of you have already tried it. So instead here's a video showing the "Become a Legend" mode, letting you rise through the ranks from a youth player to a star.
Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @Loakum: enjoy, the one Sony sent us will be there on launch day. Coverage will follow asap. (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum *takes a large sip of victorious grape juice* ok….my PS5 pro arrived early! So much winning! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @reneyvane: non ils l'ont publié le 1er octobre et je crois que tu l'avais déjà linkée. ;) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Download is now functional again on Gamersyde. Sorry for the past 53 days or so when it wasn't. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Another (French) livestream today at 2:30 CEST but you're welcome to drop by and speak English. I will gladly answer in English when I get a chance to catch a breath. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood GSY is getting some nice content at 3 pm CEST with our July podcast and some videos of the Deus Ex Mankind Divided preview build. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood For once we'll be live at 4:30 pm CEST. Blim should not even be tired! (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood More Quantum Break coverage coming in a few hours, 9:00 a.m CEST. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood We'll have a full review up for Firewatch at 7 pm CET. Videos will only be tomorrow though. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Tonight's livestream will be at 9:15 GMT+1, not GMT+2 as first stated. (> 3 Months ago)

Hopefully PES10 will be the evolution that all we old-school PES fans crave.
Sorry Konami, you haven't got my money for this year.
I feel foolish enough paying you for PES08.
And the menu music, JEEEEZ lmfao.
Horrible.
First time you turn on PES, the first message should be "Do you want to disable the menu music?"
Options: "Omg thanks for asking, YES!" or "Nah i don't mind being ear raped"
Just playing man but it really is pretty horrible >_>
Commented on 2008-10-25 04:37:09if you score a goal , the A.I. will score a miraculous goal in the next 5 minutes after you scored.
if you pass to your player after you scored he will walk away from the pass so the orther side will intercept , or the pass will reach your player but the pass will delibiretaly be so close to the defender so the defender will tackle you as soon as you recieve the ball. this is not A.I , this is the computer cheating and is very frustrating. i sometimes had about 5 shots on goal about 4 metres out and the A.I. will make that shot go way above the post or veer right or left away from the goal. All i do is curse this game and Konami every time bullsh.....t
happens.
i am sorry but this game's A.i. cheats to make the game close and frustrates the player with outdated 8 direction passing.
i yell out so many times "i didnt pass it to him" or "i threw the ball right why did he throw it straight"....
when the ball goes out for a throw why cant i stand infront of the other team
throwing the ball . when its my throw , the other team more often than not gets the ball because they stand sooo close and i cant move my player around to throw to him.
i probably will never play a konami soccer game again.
it isnt fun , it is unrealistic and frustrating.
end of rant.

I have the exact same feeling about the game.
Whenever I play it, I end up beeing so pissed, that I promise myself to nevr touch it again.
Additional things that are shitty:
At throw-ins, the players on the field do always have the same positions.
After free-kicks, the shooter stands there (like a piece of crap) doing nothing so that you can't make use of a rebounded ball.
AND, They sooo destroyed the passing system. It doesent matter anymore how long you press "A" to control how far you want the pass to go, because t simply doesn't work anymore....
Commented on 2008-10-26 18:45:48I don't know what Konami is thinking when they release a game such as this. The passing is horrible and shooting is from the same level.
I loved the series on the current or past-gen, but this ain't pes at all. :(
