This game should be a million seller for sure.
Absolutely amazing.
Amazing.

That is PSP not PS2? Pretty impressive if so.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Looks amazing. I will update for this.

 

[Altermo]

I WANT THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, DAMNIT!!!

Does anybody know when exactly WE PSP will be out in Japan? I heared something about middle september, is that right?

 

[Elios83]

This + GTA = Europe PSPOwn3D this holyday season.

I AM SOLD!

 

[Prine]

Should secure PSP as THE handheld in europe. Cannot fucking wait.

This is what i've always wanted on a handheld, a good representation of ProEvo on the go. I can just imagine the fuss this is going to cause at work, lectures and travels.

I know WE is gaining ground, but is it really that big in Europe? Wouldn't FIFA being more of a killer app there?

WE sells more on PS2 than FIFa does. Fifa has the luxury of being released on all 3 platforms

Should be interesting to see WE go against Fifa on Xbox this october.

Edit: Im going to have to import the JAP version

Nope PES is a total killer application here,on PS2 it has sold more than FiFa for two years in a row.Fifa is totally bashed and trashed by every vg magazine here and so its popularity is strongly decreasing even among casual gamers.Clearly since Fifa is present on every exsisting platform the total sales still favour the Ea title,that's why Konami is trying to expand the franchise on other platforms (Xbox,PC).

 

[wobedraggled]

WE is coming to the DS also

 

[jarrod]

It does? All over Europe or just the UK?

FIFA regularly sells 7-8m worldwide iirc (the vast majority of that being on PS2), I can't see WE doing even half that honestly.

I've read tha Seabass told that converting WE9 to PSP was really hard.
IMO it is pretty impossible for us to see it on DS.
Graphics are too important in this game.

It'll likely be based off the the PS1 WE engine, with added design refinements from the later WE games. It's also going to have online play fwiw.

Graphics are nothing special in We series and they've never been......just go play we in a PSX, graphics are pixelated but it still has that great gameplay.

 

[Project Midway]

People who have DS dont play PES. People play it on PSP. Yeah stupid generalization but I think its true atleast here in EU. Dunno about japanese gamers.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I am LOVING the DS right now...but there is no way in hell I'd rather play this on it. Widescreen goodness!

How the hell to any of them play if the games arent even out.........?

Out of 25 million PS2 users how many are going to buy a PSP to play a slightly worse port than what they can buy for £30 for their PS2? GTA on the other hand...

 

[Prine]

Watered down, stripped and disected version probably. Doubt you'll see the same level of animatin and fluidity we've come to expect from Pro Evo. The screen would suck too

It would be the perfect travel game. Finally a decent football game to play anywhere. Its going to sell shitloads

I own all 3 consoles and a GBA SP. I have yet to buy the NDS or the PSP and didn't see myself buying either for the forseeable future.

BUT, I will so totally buy a PSP just for WE9 alone. It is the portability of it that is amazing........

 

[jarrod]

It's keeping online play at least, unlike the PSP iteration.

I actually think DS would be better suited to a WE Tactics translation though.

 

[Elios83]

Of course they'll buy it to play it when they're not at home
Moreover according to this logic portable games based on home console verions shouldn't exist when they actualy sell well.

Ummm sure if you say so. What is the last WE you've played? WE9 looks pretty damn good. And it's not just the graphics that look 1000x better than the PSX versions, it's the animations. I couldn't go back and play the old ones because the animation would suck in comparison.

I don't know how anyone could spin wanting to play WE on a DS over the PSP.

speaking of, the king of spin

Go ahead and play DS WE online Jarrod, and have a blast

 

[Prine]

Exactly, its all in the player movement. Thats the main part of the gameplay, adjusting your characater to take on players, get in precise passes and line up for shots. Its what sets it apart from Fifa.

Its a complete joy to watch, even if you're not playing, you can appreciate awesome set pieces and great looking runs

 

[Izzy]

A Euro PSP killer app if I ever saw one.

 

[wobedraggled]

Just as I cant see the spin of playing on psp vs ps2.

 

[Elios83]

'Portable' is the magic word.

 

[Prine]

yeah, why on earth would you buy this version just to play at home?

Im buying both versions, PS2 and PSP.

 

[TTP]

makes you wonder what's gonna happen when Sony removes the cap from the CPU (222MHz -> 333MHz). Cant wait for WE10 already

Give me a PSone version of WE with online play and a PS2 version of WE with no online play and I'll take the PS2 version. And I've been a huge fan of WE since 1994....

 

[jman2050]

Nice.....

Too bad I don't play sports games, but whatever.

NICE.....

*drools*

Then it's going to become the killer app.

How accessible is WE for a noob? I've always considered getting it, but most of the simulation sports games seem to have a certain curve before you actually truly enjoy them.

 

[Daigoro]

does it have WiFi multiplayer or what?

and do we have the word on ML yet?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I'm a noob and new devotee. it has a curve in the sense that a good player can obviously use the tools at hand to be a much better player. it's very deep in that sense of control. a lot of my frustration simply comes from not having a bunch of experience with the sport itself. that said, the game is so nicely made and flows so smoothly, that it's incredibly addicting and satisfying to improve. I would recommend any sports fan to simply try it.

 

[Solid]

winning eleven is so much more than just a regular sports game. seriously.

 

[Prine]

Musashi pretty much sumed it up. Like any sports game you would enjoy it more if you had some background knowledge on the players, team and history of the sport. But as a game its pretty easity to get into, passing the ball around, organising an attack, crossing etc You should be pulling off great looking goals after a few matches. You should learn the rules though. Whats allowed and whats not, theres not much to get you're head round

 

[Brofist]

I already have WE9 PS2. I'm gonna play the PSP version on my commute so I can link my rosters and leagues with the PS2 version.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


but WE is NOT a handheld game...

 

[jman2050]

Nice.

*still not getting it. Or the DS or PS2 or whatever other systems have this game*

 

[Amir0x]

Oh my God...

Sale +1

 

[Wario64]

this will be my first WE game

 

[lachesis]

Well... I've decided not to buy this game. No matter how good it might be, but I cannot risk myself trying to adjust my playing to different controls of another soccer game, when my league championship ending is at risk. I'll stick with the real-deal - but.. but...

..

<breaks down.>

lachesis

 

[Solid]

this will be my first WE game

another convert! this is indeed a big day for winning eleven!

 

[krypt0nian]

The games has pre-ordered me.

 

[Volt]

Oh crap, I just stopped playing PES 4 after. like, 9 months!
Looks like it's all just gonna start over when this baby arrives in Europe.
My only concern are the controls actually, I just hope the fewer buttons still allow for the amazing wealth of movement options you normally have in a WE/PES game.

If so: sold and SOLD!

 

[jarrod]

speaking of, the king of spin

Just expounding on the issues. There's no telling if WE DS will have features or anything cut, the only certainty is a visual reduction, and then only model complexity and texturing is certain (animation may not be). Meanwhile, we know multiple features are being cut from the PSP game, in addition to a slight visual reduction.

Go ahead and play DS WE online Jarrod, and have a blast

I don't play sports games... except Hot Shots/Mario Golf.

 

[Socreges]

Bah, that video was already posted in another thread. Thought it was new.

makes you wonder what's gonna happen when Sony removes the cap from the CPU (222MHz -> 333MHz). Cant wait for WE10 already

That reminds me. WE9 PSP obviously cannot substitute for the PS2 version since it lacks certain things (ML, commentary, animation, some moves), but it is still surprisingly close and makes an EXCELLENT companion for anyone who often plays games outside of the home. But WE10 on the PS3 is obviously going to blow it out of the water and should render the PSP version, comparably, to DS WE9 type levels. Well, maybe not THAT bad.
