Gamerlive recently spoke with brand manager Tim Blair about what to expect from Konami's latest soccer game.
On this week’s CGM podcast, an expanded crew discusses the nonexistent MMO’s we’d like to see, BioWare gets a new boss, and hardware reviews of new pro gamer laptops and headsets are covered. All this, Final Fantasy XIV, and the healing of the dark crystal on this week’s CGM podcast.
DSOGaming: "And we’ve got a Steam overload today for all of you. It seems that a lot of Steam Achievements have been leaked, and among those titles we can find Deadpool, Mortal Kombat (which is rumored to be coming to our platform, yet Ed Boon has not replied yet on our comment about it), the new Strider game and… wait for it… Prey 2."
FTG Writes: It isn’t unusual for a game similar to another to come out around the same time. Be it to beat them to the punch for market share or season overlaps, it is something that we’ve become accustomed to. In the case of sports games, it is almost a necessity that they be released in the same window. However, some of the games have been trying to make a name for themselves in the shadows of major studios for some time. A week prior to the release of FIFA 13, the next title in an 11-year-old franchise hit the streets from Konami. Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (or Winning Eleven as you might otherwise know it) enters the market at a time when the world has been foaming over EA Sports’ newest offering. Does that mean that Pro Evolution Soccer should be ignored? Or is Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 worthy of your time on the field?
When are they gonna make playing big games in pes and fifa actually mean something. Playing a season in both are so boring and lack any life or excitement like the real game does. All games you play are really no different than playing a friendly or exhibition match. If two teams are in a race for the title, then the actual season final games should reflect that. All we seem to get is minor gameplay changes from both each year and they both forget about the little things that make the game so exciting. And what about throwing in some half time analysis on the teams good and bad points instead of the same old stat screens and replay of goals we've been getting for years.
Take a game like NBA 2K12 for example. The devs for that series really know how a sports game is supposed to be presented.
I agree with you about PES 12. IMO its plays a better game than FIFA. They really need to get better game announcers though. That will really help its presentation.I'm looking forward to the additions to PES 13.
