Yeah not buying it. I hear 'PES is back" every single bloody year. Been happening since PES 2010.

Im a PC player so im very optimistic, especially since we don't know for sure what the final version will look or play like.

We have a demo since September and it's a stellar football game. Not unlike 14 where the input lag was destroying any fun or PES13 where the demo was decent but felt like PES 08 and 09. This time it's clearly better than the competition and the 1,5 years development time really paid off. It's still not without flaws but a good football game from what I could play.

I still have no idea what version to buy. I kinda want the US digital one, because I hate swapping discs and because it's cheaper, but we're apparently still not 100% sure if online is region locked (it likely is). The EU version is 60€ on Playstation Store and 45€ on Amazon UK, so I'm really torn between paying more for the digital 'privilege' or paying less for disc based peasantry (+ waiting for the thing to get shipped).

Konami pls.

Buy the Italian version with Allegri on the cover, Zabo.

I've played the demo and Fifa 15. The king is back playboys.

Best thing to do is wait and see I guess. Glad you reminded me of this possible farce as it would be digital-US only for me or wait for EU price drops below that.

Same PSN doesn't work like the XB1 where you can download any region once you've purchased from your preferred region.

the one true king is back!

 

[alterno69]

If this game delibers a smooth online experience it will be one of the biggest comebacks in gaming. The demo is great but if i can't play smoothly online it will all be worthless.

I still can't get rid of the Fifa 15, nobody wants to buy that piece of shit now :/

 

[Blablurn]

Videogamer.com gave it a 8/10

 

[Zabojnik]

I would, if such a thing existed.

I think I'm refusing to buy full price retail titles on digital until the prices come more in line with our retail friends.

The novelty of having it on my HDD is eradicated by paying £15 more for no reason.

Yeah it's good against friends but randoms is horrendous in my opinion. PES and FIFA have some of the worst behaviour in gaming when it comes to randoms, speaking from personal experience.

If you want a digital copy, Canadian PSN Store has it for 60CAD which is 42.5€. Much cheaper than buying it on the US PSN Store.

I really like all those good reviews and scores so far. Never thought media would give PES the pass this time, but FIFA15 obviously annoyed not only some players. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

You dont get it for around 40, do you? Otherwise I would ask you to buy me one copy too haha

Also worth remembering that it will likely drop in price pretty quickly due to the UK retail market's oddities.

Haha, try amazon.uk or zavvi or coolshop, they have the physical EU version for 35 pounds/ 45 Euro.

So the game is good, cheapest place to buy?

Thank you for this.

And from the Eurogamer review:

At this point, there's only one question left to answer: is PES 2015 a better game than FIFA 15? In terms of replicating the balance of real football, the answer is an emphatic yes.

Oh my.

 

[DarkArterialGore]

2013 deserved a 9/10 imo.

I still think the PES2013 modded demo was far superior to the final game as it felt so free and had a realistic tempo, although nearly all PES demos play differently to the final game. It's like Konami panic before they press the final disc and dumb-down the gameplay so lil' Jimmy who loves Fifa can play arcadey football.

 

[Bluemercury]

Is the pc version still based on the old gen?

 

[Blablurn]

Is the pc version still based on the old gen?

It's a mix between Current Gen and Last Gen.

 

[Jack cw]

Is the pc version still based on the old gen?

It's last years Fox Engine with some tweaks from the current PS4 build. A hybrid.

 

[goonergaz]

wow, reading the Eurogamer review it sounds awsome - it's almost like Konami knew what would irritate me on FIFA and fixed it! I loved the demo and altho I already have FIFA (ultimate edition thanks to my son ) I still got this due to frustrations with FIFA and the feeling of the demo.

I can't wait to get hold of it and rekindle that lost PES (Winning Eleven) love!

 

[Jack cw]

Those player models and faces from the retail build are truly incredible:

Great goal compilation.

Gameplay/engine same as next-gen, graphics hybrid between current and next-gen I believe.

[Jack cw]

Whatever Kojima did, the Fox Engine is excellent for facial modelling and expression. Love the lighting as well. Player ID is lightyears better than Fifa, you instantly notice CR7, Robben, Messi, Schweinsteiger, etc. from 50 yeards away.

Eurogamer had a write up about it a few days ago.

 

[LAM09]

Wolfsburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach, are meant to be coming to the game at a later date through a DLC.

Great news. 5 Bundesliga teams licenced. Konami really tries to at least get everything they can. I hope we see a png import, so we can create Bundesliga and EPL.

 

[LAM09]

So what's the situation with Option Files on the PS4?

Anything that doesn't use images will be possible, e.g. Player names, team names, appearances, etc.

 

[slavesnyder]

happy about the reviews. hope PES regains the quality and popularity it deserves.

 

[goonergaz]

Eurogamer had a write up about it a few days ago.

cheers, I mean more along the lines of features etc

 

[Mexen]

some games which ended like... 7:6 because both players were incredibly good at abusing the stupidly unbalanced dribbles, especially from the kickoff.

But who won?

nice, I can try and recreate that comedy own goal from last night

 

[Gibbo]

I've got a confession to make guys. When I made this thread, I was just being half serious. At that time, I thought to myself that it will obviously be Fifa's year again. It was quite heartwarming to see people increasingly pumped up in the weeks following the release of the PES2015 demo

I can't help but smile at the possibility that the king will take back it's crown this year. If they fix online play, I'm all in

 

[metareferential]

Fifa 15 is shit, I've deleted it from my hdd and I'm waiting for this to come out in Europe.

It's going to be pretty hard rewiring my brain to PES after many Fifa years (on xbox).

Eventually though the old memories will come up. It's like the ps2 era again. PES and Playstation.

 

[Handy Fake]

I know and I bought the PC retail for two years now, because someone at Konami thinks that Steam wants to much royalties or something. I don't know what strategy and logic is behind the distribution of PES but Steam is the channel you sell the most games on PC. At least there is a PC version after all this. They could easily do a Vita on this one though.

Edit:
is this real life?

Someone ("Steve") posted this on the Eurogamer review wall.

Have to say, it's awfully realistic.

That's a deal breaker for me. I just can't play with fake teams.
