Konami har i dag taget kampen op for at vinde dette års “Champions League” for fodboldspil. Deres tyske afdeling har fremsendt en pressemeddelelse samt de første seks screenshots fra Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. Spillet vil være klar til efteråret og blive udgivet på stort set samtlige platforme. Interessen er dog på forhånd rettet imod PlayStation 3, som får sit første PES-spil. Xbox 360 vil få dit andet PES-spil, og forhåbentlig, er der langt lidt mere dedikeret arbejde i disse to udgaver denne gang. Vi bringer her et fyldigt uddrag af pressemeddelelsen, og de ikke specielt imponerende billeder (fra Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3), kan du beskue i fuld størrelse i vores nyoprettede Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 galleri.

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced that PES 2008 will be released in Autumn 2007. The latest edition to the multi-million-selling Pro Evolution Soccer series will be released for PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360, PC-DVD, PlayStation®2, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) and Nintendo DS, and is primed to be the definitive football title for any format.

Key to PES 2008 is a proprietary adaptive AI system entitled Teamvision. Unique to the Konami game, Teamvision is a sophisticated AI programming that learns and adapts according to an individual’s style of play. As such, it will learn new ways to build attacks and to counter specific movements and previous attacking or defensive errors, ensuring games are more in line with the tactical but flowing nature of the real thing.

With the Pro Evolution Soccer series renowned for its fluid, realistic gameplay, the new game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.

Working in conjunction with the Teamvision system, every aspect of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008’s on-field play has been reworked and fine-tuned to create the balanced and strategic play of a high stakes match. Set-pieces have been improved, with full control given over the number of players and the position of the defensive wall. A wider range of set piece options are also available to make use of specific talents within the team.

  1. Mest ventede spil (efter SC2 self. siden de lavede den berygtede update til Xbox360 der umuliggjorde online-spil !!

    Jeg er sådan set ligeglad med grafikken, bevares den kan da sagtens blive pænere, men jeg er tilfreds hvis vi får et PES6+ ALLE de nødvendige forbedringer som folk sulter efter. Kom nu Konami – tag jer sammen, bare denne ene gang!

  2. Synes altid at PES har været det bedste, lige siden det første udkom !! … har ikke spillet FIFA siden 01 !! .. har spillet FIFA 94′ 96′ 97′ 98′ 00′ 01′ … så vandt PES tronen stærkt!!

  3. Har “altid” spillet Fifa, men så overtalte en ven mig til at købe PES6 da jeg havde anskaffet mig min 360. Det er simpelthen milevidt federe end Fifa og glæder mig rigtigt meget til at prøve PES2008. Skid hul i grafikken (næsten), så længe gameplayet er ultra godt – som det jo er i PES6.
