PES 2014 skipping PS4, Xbox One, Vita and 3DS

PES 2014 was announced just minutes ago but the publisher’s European PES community manager Adam Bhatti has already taken to Twitter to confirm that the game will definitely be Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP only this year.
“[We’re] not in the business for high-res next-gen ports. We can't and shouldn't do that. Bad habit etc,” he stated. “So the fact we're not on PS4/Xbone with PES 2014 is simple. We can't and shouldn't be just using higher quality textures etc should be new.

no word on a wii u edition but if they were smart and wanted to build a following now is their time to hit the wii u. ea skipping it, they would have no competition.

sknygy3969d ago

Common sense! My bet is, they don't cash in

yugovega3969d ago

sadly you are probably right

sknygy3969d ago

...and yet I got a disagree! PMSL @ N4G

ZodTheRipper3969d ago

Funny, I would have bought it for PS4 but I'm not planning on buying it for PS3 since my brother will get my PS3 once the PS4 is out.
It's sad but they have good reasons so I can't blame them.

mcstorm3969d ago

I hope so to as I wanted to get a football game on my Wiiu and with fifa not being on it was going to give pes a go.

DeadlyFire3969d ago

likely they will wait until next year for WiiU, PS4, Xbone versions.

Arai3969d ago

Such a shame, high-res can sometimes deliver a better/immersive experience IMO.

Truth be told I was hoping to be playing it on next-gen consoles, more so than the current ones.

pompombrum3969d ago

Clearly you wasn't around for the first three pes releases on the 360. This is a GOOD thing that they're not releasing next gen ports, trust me on that.

Salooh3969d ago

Where the hell is the revelation ?!! Another victim of the greed. Waste years to release it on current generation while they have the kit to developer for the next generation. Annoying like hell !!

Not really. Fifa 06 & 07 for original Xbox are arguably my favorite Fifa games ever.

They released Fifa 07 also for the Xbox 360 that year and it was probably the worst soccer game I've ever played.

it had better graphics by far....but the gameplay was crap.

Gameplay always wins and when 2 games have similar good gameplay, the tie breaker is usually the Better graphics.

PES already giving up? Sure looks like it

PANTHER10303969d ago

Sure, what's happening with Konami? Not next gen or Vita versions. I dont wanna to buy many games for this gen at exception of Last of Us, GT6, Beyond and maybe The last Guardian. Maybe for PS4 I could buy FIFA 14, because PES is only for this old gen, disapointing the Konami's policy :(

MajorLazer3969d ago

Disagree all you like but it seems to be the case.

ZodTheRipper3969d ago

They clearly said that they don't have the budget to develop for so many consoles simultaneously. I had hoped for a next-gen release since I can't play FIFA anymore after I got used to PES but their reasons are understandable.

3-4-53969d ago

They are doing what EA should.

They are working on Next Gen PES games...for PES 2015

They are taking a year break to develop something worth playing on next gen and trying not to make the mistake Fifa 07 made.

ceballos77mx3969d ago

PSP? They still do games for it?.

PANTHER10303969d ago

It a portable device more powerful than 3DS and that sold 100 millions of units.

PANTHER10303969d ago (Edited 3969d ago )

Oh boy. No PS4 or Vita version :(
FIFA 14 then.

RedHawkX3969d ago

yeah they pretty much giving up ground to EA with this move.

Konami admits PES 2014 was only 'half done', PES 2015 to release 'when it's ready'

Konami has admitted that its focus on visuals for last year's PES 2014 damaged the final product, leading to a game that was only "half done" and "extremely unhappy" fan feedback.

Every year the same thing by Konami...

Huhh, it's a sports game.
It's not like they're going to delay it until 2016..
They have one year to get it right.

Less features in PES 2014 than normal, you can tell, but the gameplay is by far the best I've ever played for a soccer game.

I'm in my 5th season and I'm still seeing goals, and touches,tricks& animations that are ALL NEW.

Never had 2 games even close to similar either, & the ball physics is the best it's ever been in any sports games.

They got a lot right here, but in return, they cut a lot of meat from the Manager Mode, which was missed.

Training young talent was more difficult than ever and it taking 4-6 years from players to improve 4-5 points is just stupid.

Other than that, I LOVE this game.

Can't wait for PES 2015.

3-4-53571d ago

Yea because Donkey Kong Country games are all so different right? c'mon grumpy

Geobros3571d ago

I am playing Konami football games from the Arcade era and I am still playing, I appreciate Pro Evoltuion series but I don't find the so good today as the first 4 games of the series on PS2. I think Konami followed Fifa road...

scotmacb3571d ago

They should of just tweaked pes 2013 awesome game and it looked better than 2014.pes2013 with next gen gfx's please

gamernova3571d ago

That's why I stick to FIFA.

iistuii3571d ago

Yep me too. My PES days died along with the last decent game they released in PES6. Fifa took over whist they stood still & they have been getting a kicking ever since.

kiwipunk3571d ago (Edited 3571d ago )

what visuals?

smolinsk3571d ago

Yes pes 2013 was great, totally they should just have used 2013 as a guideline for 2014 and 2015, how can you trust konami now, same thing year after year, they say allot of fancy words and then its just worse
